Somewhat related where states were found to be immune if they infringe copyrights unless Congress finds an issue and rewrites the laws to allow private lawsuits against the states.

This was actually the subject of a recent Supreme Court case where states were found immune unless Congress finds an issue and adjusts the laws.

This is the comment that points out the issue.

perf is licensed under GPL v2 only and libbfd is a GNU tool that is licensed GPL v3 and higher.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=911815

Really wish the Linux kernel would start mandating new patches to be GPL v2 and higher and get buy in from the largest contributors. A decade later new code would like replace the smaller contributors code and we could consider the software GPL v3 compatible.

Posting this here because at least two people in the comments keep posting a twisted narrative of the fact that Ivermectin is approved for human usage and ignore that the horse formula is different and untested in humans; which is what the article was discussing.

From the FDA page linked in the article on the horse formulation:

"Ivermectin Products for Animals Are Different from Ivermectin Products for People

For one thing, animal drugs are often highly concentrated because they are used for large animals like horses and cows, which weigh a lot more than we do—a ton or more. Such high doses can be highly toxic in humans. Moreover, the FDA reviews drugs not just for safety and effectiveness of the active ingredients, but also for the inactive ingredients. Many inactive ingredients found in products for animals aren’t evaluated for use in people. Or they are included in much greater quantity than those used in people. In some cases, we don’t know how those inactive ingredients will affect how ivermectin is absorbed in the human body."

They also claim to be concerned that people may not take the medication when they may need it; yet leave out that it should be taken under supervision, can interfere with common medications, and can overdose.

"When Can Taking Ivermectin Be Unsafe?

...

There’s a lot of misinformation around, and you may have heard that it’s okay to take large doses of ivermectin. It is not okay.

Even the levels of ivermectin for approved human uses can interact with other medications, like blood-thinners. You can also overdose on ivermectin, which can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hypotension (low blood pressure), allergic reactions (itching and hives), dizziness, ataxia (problems with balance), seizures, coma and even death."

> Sorry, but calling it "horse deworming medication" is inflamatory, not to mention incorrect.

I did not claim it was exclusively for horses. What I have been reading (and perhaps can be clarified) is that they have been buying doses specifically meant for horses and then they wind up at the ER.

Also, if you are going to accuse someone of lying and cite the FDA (but only link to the Canadian CDC). Please read carefully.

Agreed. Missed that part from the top parent comment.

Doctors are already refusing patients that refuse the COVID vaccine.

My mother, who works at hospital, was told due to her age that if there was a choice between her and a younger patient, the younger patient would get the bed/oxygen. She was told this long before the COVID vaccine was released in 2020.

The CDC and more are already reaching out urging people not to take a horse deworming medication. They do not listen. They believe whatever is shared by their friends on social media and right wing media over medical professionals.

At what point do you prioritize treatment for those who do nothing of their own fault over those who deliberately ignore medical advice and harm themselves with a horse medication?

My opinion: the ER should have started turning them away a long before they had to refuse treatment to others.

Edit:

Missed the part where the above top parent wrote which I do not agree with: 'Their genes need to be taken out of the gene pool.'

Make sure your firewall is not blocking syncthing ports. You might be using one of the internet proxies instead of your full lan. An easy way to test is to unplug the wifi network from the internet.

> Mortgage interest is tax is tax deductible, but should the lender be obligated to tell the government it has a relationship with you?

Yes, the govt has an interest in knowing the source of revenue for banks. Not only for money laundering and tax fraud, but ensuring the banks have stable income sources to avoid bank failures.

Now this is some good insight on why Intel would buy GF. That cross-licensing deal alone I can see being very useful for Intel as they push in to EUV.

I think your argument both proves my point and contradicts yours.

You assert that collaboration hurdles stops outsourcing. A point that I do not agree with, but if it was true, to outsource one person at a time requires remote collaboration tools between two teams that honestly wouldn't be that much more different than WFH to train and collaborate.

Once again, you assert a lot of things without providing evidence besides your own testimony that is what your current employer is doing and your experience that in-person teams are more effective.

I could assert my own experience dealing with open offices being too noisy to program in, in-building construction, employees making office chatter around you, or senior engineers needing to fly out to attend events, investor meetings, or sales; and you have to collaborate by zoom anyway.

You also treat other countries legal, language, and cultural barriers as if they are not material. And trust me, they are.

Your arguments really need a jump in logic to be accepted.

They also completely fall apart when you realize two things:

Offshoring has been happening for decades. H1B abuse has been happening for decades.

Yet salaries rose.

> RISC-V into ARM by locking it up in patents while at the same time holding the keys to the ratification of the various extensions

Would you please provide a direct link to some of those patents or discussion?

The thread at [1] if I read it carefully does not mention patents, but seems to be a prelude to submitting the RISCV kvm stuff to staging that Greg KH complained about a while ago.

Indeed I did.

John Oliver did a segment on this.

Huh, on Arch GNOME it does not go back to the old interface, but it does make the new one more compact for me. That is far more workable for me.

Indeed. Even Finland is quite worried about war with Russia.

Yes, and no.

I thought I was a good Ruby programmer, but preparing for a FB interview in Ruby, and bombing an earlier one, really showed me how slow I was with the syntax.

Leetcoding really improved my grasp of the language.

Google makes using a different TOTP authenticator very difficult.

First, I need to register a phone number as 2FA. Only then can I choose an alternate method, get codes, and have to select Google Authenticator to use my Open Source authenticator, Aegis.

Does not say Google Auth or any TOTP; specifically only says Google Auth. I was worried Aegis would not work until I tried it.

Why not show choices on the sign up screen? Why do I need to register a phone number first? It is very insecure in the USA. Data collection? Hold out from when a phone number was the only real 2FA and a TOTP was under additional options? If the latter, that needs to change if 2FA is going to be mandatory.

I think you are mixing two forms of government and their incentives.

The above poster was talking about local government which has an incentive to establish local network effects and raise property values.

Flint was caused by the state of Michigan taking over their water management and ignoring warnings of what would happen.

It feels like states are much more beholden to telecommunications lobbies than the local areas. TN, despite Chattanooga being the poster child for municipal broadband, banned other cities from building their own networks. CO forces both the local government and the citizens later in an election to authorize local networks. WA just repealed their ban on municipal broadband networks.

I do not feel that a remote possibility of no-bid contracts is a reasonable concern over the current corrupt and no accountability of these large ISPs who lobby state governments to ban local networks. It is a lot easier to change local government than many state governments if a project goes wrong.

I wonder how feasible it would be for malware to inject networking support into FreeDOS? Drivers, a TCP/IP stack, not very familiar with how DOS is constructed compared to my studies on the modern Linux kernel.

I specifically bought a new Roku Ultra 2020 for 4k AV1 decode support as I knew AV1 would be big, especially if I move to an area with poor broadband. As far as I know that is the first device that supports that. I love it-plugging in my headphones for private listening works very well.

https://www.engadget.com/roku-ultra-dolby-vision-streaming-p...

From what I am reading between the lines: Youtube wants to dump H.265 because of patent royalties. Roku has a lot of 4K streaming sticks with H.265 support but no AV1 support. Roku picked a fight over it because maybe those customers would leave for Google devices? I no longer will get YT updates for my AV1 device.

Is this correct?

Love Namecheap. Used them for years, esp was proud when they joined the campaign to protect Net Neutrality.

Blocking 3rd party network ads do deprive creators of revenue; but using uBlock Origins does have these important benefits:

*Protects you from malicious attacks through 3rd party ad networks.

*Keeps your browser fast from trackers.

*Stops intrusive ads that literally take up 30% of your screen and move the website around making it difficult to read an article.

But sponsored segments built into the video itself? It has none of these issues. A lot of creators do what they love, but they still need income. If you value the content they create these sponsored posts allow them to keep doing that or you can chip in a few bucks to pay for an ad-free feed.

Video is a lot of work.

Same. They are excellent.

> do not contribute to open source projects. Find a copylefted project and contribute to that.

GPL software is still open source. The problem is when you contribute to a private company's MIT or Apache licensed software.

I would change that to:

'do not contribute to permissively licensed projects. Find a copylefted project and contribute to that.'

You could say the same about CentOS 8. There is no contract guaranteeing support-just a collective promise that was broken in a single day.

At the end of the day, you are looking for a free distro and this is what you can get. If you want a guarantee, pay for a contract. You have the right to sue if it is broken.

Edit: grammar.
