No, freedom of speech is the foundation of our society.

If other governments have a problem with that they can get fucked.

No it's not, read the comments. This is their synced bookmarks that are not publicly shared.

This isn't sharing, these bookmarks are private to the user in question.

The pity commercial is why I hate watching the Olympics in the US.

They'll skip over half the competitors just to show us how poor and sick some athlete's mother is or whatever.

Sometimes you even miss the winner while the person they were talking about doesn't even medal!

By forcing lincensors to refund any license that has been invalidated. The idea that an EULA acts as a magic password to take your money and delete your IP at any time is fanciful.

They've already sued MoviePass for the same kind of abusive shenanigans.

True but this is exactly the sort of thing the FTC should be cracking down on.

Consumer protections in the US are a joke.

Yeah, hnews is the place to be, nobody here is ever excited about anything new.

"In employment law, constructive dismissal, also called constructive discharge or constructive termination, occurs when an employee resigns as a result of the employer creating a hostile work environment. Since the resignation was not truly voluntary, it is, in effect, a termination. For example, when an employer places extraordinary and unreasonable work demands on an employee to obtain their resignation, this can constitute a constructive dismissal. "

Hopefully a nefarious actor doesn't start training the orcas to engage in criminal activity. It has happened before with penguins, please refer to the excellent documentary, Batman Returns.

Yeah people who do real work need a 6000 pound vehicle with terrible sight lines that can 0-60 in 3.8 seconds.

You know, just in case your work involves obliterating someone in a parking lot with an amount of force that should probably be illegal.

> At the cost of inflation.

Almost there. Come on, just a bit further.

What a strange attitude you have, simultaneously ignorant of how sovereign debt ratings work while also dismissing the work of experts in the field.

There were fractal body plans in the precambrian era but they went extinct pretty quickly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangeomorph

That may be true but there were lifeforms with more fractal structures like the precambrian Charnia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charnia ) and other Rangeomorphs ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangeomorph ).

The main difference the author is getting at (I suspect, I'm not a biologist) is that these earlier life forms display a multilevel fractal self-similarity within their fronds, basically fronds of fronds of fronds of fronds, instead of modern plants where the fronds have structural differences like leaves/buds that keep the pattern from replicating past a certain point.

The weird thing is that as far as body plans go, a fractal shape would maximize surface area while minimizing body volume which would seem advantageous for a filter feeding organism. It's not clear why such a simple design went extinct so quickly.

Yeah, the angst about goto is misplaced. Dijkstra was mostly talking about control flow jumping all over the program, ie spaghetti code.

So it's funny when people rigidly adhere to the goto ban while simultaneously littering a bunch of tiny single use functions and classes all over their supposedly well-designed code.

You must not have read the article either because it states the extension was buried in the budget bill and got almost no press coverage.

That’s fine, we don’t all need to be experts on everything that we read here, but when I’m not at least partially informed I generally avoid making bold statements that are factually incorrect.

This reminds me too much of all the procmail and m4 scripts I wrote at an astrophysics lab about 20 years ago.

Better days now, better days.

500KB seems to be the bundle size, how much RAM does the client use?

Because 8% growth in a single quarter is fucking fantastic.

> The layoffs come after IBM reported last week that Red Hat quarterly revenues had increased 8%. However, that was far below recent performances. “Red Hat had been averaging at least a 15% revenue growth, every quarter since IBM purchased it in 2019,”

Looks like the enshittification of Red Hat is hitting its stride.

OPSEU is the union for Ontario's government run liquor store, LCBO.

IMO, the LCBO does a terrible job at limiting the social and health impact of alcohol anyways and this stunt is yet another argument for disbanding it altogether.

To be fair I find it completely baffling that R, Pandas, and all sorts of other tools make it difficult or impossible to mmap a column to a dataframe.

Instead you have to do backflips to load data that doesn't fit in RAM.

Well yeah, it does matter. People aren't buying them at the current price point.

I guess we'll see how the Ryzen 7000 Framework laptop plays out in terms of power consumption but I have no complaints with my 6850u-based Thinkpad, the battery lasts for 11-14 hours and the parallel compile performance is top tier.

But the main advantage Framework offers to me as a remote worker is the ability to replace components without having my work machine be out of service while waiting for shipping+servicing.

I only wish Framework would do a better job at keeping their bespoke components in stock and available for overnight/same day shipping, maybe charge a premium or something.

So what if China blocks apps. Our freedoms are what make us different from them and the first amendment is the most important of those freedoms.

If US persons are truly helping TikTok engage in espionage then arrest them, it’s already illegal.

Ubuntu LTS has a package called linux-hwe that backports the latest Ubuntu kernel to the last LTS release. I find it's a good compromise between maintaining a mainline kernel and using an ancient one. And since the hwe kernel is provided by Ubuntu and used in its release, it's been tested by thousands of users and updating it is a breeze.

My only complaint is that I wished it went back 2 LTS releases. For example, the current project I'm working on settled on 20.04 and there are no more new hwe kernels being released for it despite the rest of the userland receiving updates.

I always like when people say Twitter's lower reliability will drive people off the site.

Reddit's been awful for more than a decade and people still use it.

It's interesting you had problems with the AX200 chip, I bought one for my X13 specifically because it has good kernel drivers.

On Ubuntu, there's a "hardware enablement kernel" package, linux-generic-hwe-22.04, that's just the kernel from the latest Ubuntu back-ported to the LTS version. I find it tends to fix most issues with newer hardware. Maybe PopOS has something similar?

Anyways, I found the MIMO in wifi 6 was better enough that I even upgraded another old laptop I have with an AX210 I found for $14.

Routers already support the Options field, it's part of IPv4. The old RFCs mentioned are specifically designed so only routers at the edge need to support them.

You should try reading the specs before making technical claims instead of completely missing the point of why those RFCs were created in the first place.

Instead we have to rehash an argument from 30 years ago.

You can though, there is an options field in IPv4 that could have been made to hold extended address values.

It was used as part of the Extended Internet Protocol: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1385

And the Address Extension protocol aka IPv7: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1475
