I value WoW more than I value human rights.

Ah, but that's something you do on purpose. What I meant is that it's not a Meltdown-like problem.

I agree with you and, at the same time, I don't know what we'll do when everything gets automated.

Societies that have failed despite having lots of resources because of cultural deficiencies or lack of intelligence, well, that could be applied to the whole of Africa. But that's really opening a bad can of worms ;-)

It's an invalid instruction, so a compiler wouldn't (shouldn't) ever generate it.

"WP Super Cache" by the creators of WordPress can make any WordPress website as fast as a static website. When properly configured, it will be nginx serving html files.

Let's say that it looks more like the Apple website, when I expect it to look like the Void Linux website.

Then have a simpler website... This website doesn't look like it's trying to appeal to a computer scientist.

I've only skimmed through the "Plot" section because I might read this in the future and I don't want to be spoiled, but doesn't this sound a lot like 1984?

I don't find it to be "nearly unreadable" myself, but yes it's difficult. I think it depends mostly on the quality of your monitor, and on how it is calibrated.

This site would benefit from higher contrast and thicker fonts.

I've looked at the list and all the devices there are thick (like, 2009-level thick) and have huge bezels.

>On the contrary, devices can be made thin and sleek while being repairable.

I'll believe it when I see it. Thus far all easily repairable mobile phones I've seen were ugly and bulky compared to normal phones.

Heh. How do I lobby to oppose this? I don't want bulkier, thicker and uglier devices just so I can open them, because I have no interest in doing so. And I definitely don't want this written into law...

Ah geez. I was assuming you wanted the alerts to be sent to your mobile while you were away from home.

Email doesn't work without phone data

How would something like this work without connectivity?

Firefox on mobile still hasn't implemented something as basic as enlarged touch targets for buttons in webpages. Pressing the [-] button that is next to each comment of this site using Firefox is a nightmare compared to any other webkit browser.

There's the middle ground of using Firefox and wishing the Mozilla Corporation wasn't full of hypocrites.

A fingerprint reader can also be operated while the victim is asleep, unconscious, and even after you sever the thumb off (remote attack!!). Does that mean a fingerprint reader cannot be ever be called secure?

That's the trick: they can't make single cores faster so they just throw more cores at the problem and call it a day. Obviously that doesn't work but who cares? It looks good in benchmarks.

Ah, what I understood from tfa is that you could take any mobile phone with a properly registered fingerprint (ie without having used a screen protector) and then unlock it by placing a screen protector between the fingerprint reader and any fingerprint.

Can someone explain to me how something like this is technically possible? And by "explain" I don't mean "ELI5", be all the technical you want. How can you design a fingerprint reader that lets anybody in like this?

Nobody is saying "don't get involved in politics", just "don't bring it to work".

>what if a man made a fedora out of the profile pictures of all the women that had rejected him on tinder?

He'd break his neck.

RHEL's fork of Python 2 has a roadmap with clear dates of support. It won't "break at any time".

Debian could just take RHEL's fork of Python 2. Why don't they do that?

The last thing I expected to see in 'lists.debian.org' was emojis.

Yes, that's the reason. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-temperature_process...

Taking into account max sentence for sedition is 15 years and they got 12 years for sedition + misuse of public money and they'll probably only spend half of that time in prison... seems like 'lengthy' is not the correct word.
