I think this comment is really good at highlighting the rift here.
So the "poor kid" should know that it's OK to steal from decent folks, because they would never "devalue" his life for such a small thing.
But, the same "poor kid", would've never risked stealing from sick psychos like myself.
The only conclusion I get from this is that it's better to be a sick psycho, because then people would only try to steal something from you by mistake.
Not the idea, but the act, if I'm going to be pedantic. If the law would've been on my side and I would've seen my car broken into with someone in there, I would not hesitate to use lethal force at that point.
I think you're confusing rights with something else here. I'm specifically talking about natural rights, and I don't know if you're trying to steer the dialog into "what is a right" or just have a wrong idea, but I am not interested in philosophy or deconstruction of well established concepts
I think that you have the right to protect your rights at all costs. If your rights are being violated it's OK to reclaim it by returning the favor. If you don't believe it then there's a discussion to be had about if you even have any rights to begin with or if these are just privileges granted to you by the others.
Yeah, if it's not clear cut - don't shoot anyone. I'm talking about people who are in the process of the crime when you caught them as it happened, not about some kind of vigilante track-them-down.
As for shooting someone - I haven't, and I hope I'll never have to, but I can't imagine feeling remorseful for stopping a crime against myself. Yeah 10$ is pushing it, but as I've said - it's more about the violation than the actual value here. I have no idea what someone is trying to steal from the car, but just breaking into it is enough.
I am not american, but I really wish it was legal to shoot thieves where I live.
I see no moral issues with that act - it's really simple to justify. First - why should I value life of someone who's actively robbing me? In my mind, the moment they attack my rights, including my property rights - I don't owe any moral consideration to them anymore, they broke the social contract with me, and I'm going to use anything at my disposal to stop them.
Second - if it's generally accepted that if you're gonna steal something you are putting your life on the line - that means people would think twice before stealing something from other people. You should fear for your life if you're going to try and violate other's rights, and I doubt there would be as many people keen on stealing something valued at 100$ by betting their lives on it.
And finally, when you're getting robbed it damages you. It's not even about the thing itself getting stolen, but more about the fact that the sanctity of your belongings vanishes and a bit of trust you had for others vanishes with it. Ask anyone who ever got mugged or had their house broken into - it's hard to feel safe after that happens to you once, ever.
I really don't think that someone who's a victim of an ongoing crime should ever stop and think about the criminal committing it as someone worthy of moral consideration at all.
Let's Encrypt is easily automated with certbot, I've been running my home webserver for over 10 years with Debian and NixOS, without touching it apart from stable OS version upgrades.
I must be nightmare customer, because I've always been exploiting my ability to use filenames in full UTF-8. I'm that guy that sends .pdf to your website.
To me, the answer is, sadly - yes. The record of infections per day is being broken daily where I live, and in the past week alone I've lost good family friends and a neighbor. If I had to go from my anecdotal data I would say that it's at its worst right now. What I can also say about that is 3 people that died weren't vaccinated and one person was vaccinated by an EpiVacCorona shot, she sadly burned up in a week. The effectiveness of EpiVacCorona is still not proven to this day, despite being authorized.
KeyOne, KeyOne silver and Key2 were all made by TCL, no BlackBerry. The phone is still being sold as a BlackBerry device with all the BlackBerry software, but it's not RIM BlackBerry.
It's not an alternative. It's like saying that having no email is an alternative to having a GMail account, it isn't. Sure some people get by just fine, but it's not realistic to suggest it to people.
Not the way the question is phrased, I never had a RIM BlackBerry, but I have a TCL KeyOne right now and I love it. For all my life I only had phones with keyboards, and KeyOne was the only one available at the time, and I wouldn't buy a phone without a keyboard. I really hate typing on glass, can't do it with a basic keyboard and I refuse to rely on some spyware to constantly correct me for a low price of sending every single word I type to a third party.
We can only hope that said asteroid isn't too big and evacuate the area of impact.
We can't do anything to prevent it. ICBMs can't even target something in space, and even if we blow the asteroid with one the same mass would still be flying towards earth as a shrapnel. Theoretically we can try shooting it with a laser to evaporate part of it creating thrust to divert it, but we don't have lasers that powerful and probably wouldn't. This is uncomfortable truth - we are completely defenseless against asteroids.
What I think is a key contributing factor here is that we lost the ability to say "no" to updates. Before the modern era of appstores users could refuse to update the app and in doing so throw a wrench into company's plans to just ruin the user experience.
Every time you see a SoC just check if Armbian supports it. This is the case here https://www.armbian.com/odroid-hc4/, and if there is Armbian for it you can just use the Armbian sources to build the kernel for any other distro with ARM support. Including Archlinux ARM, NixOS and so on. Once you know enough about u-boot it's very easy to run any distro provided you have a kernel for it.
Recently my small home server had a disk failure. One of the BTRFS RAID0 drives started having a lot of device errors, and shortly after the second drive started having errors too - but BTRFS was able to just take the healthy bits from both disks and I lost nothing.
However, since I had to now replace 2 disks I decided an upgrade would be in order, the disks been there for 10 years and I wanted to have more that 1tb for a while.
Turns out it's two times cheaper to have a 4tb array with 3 2tb disks than a 4tb array with 2 4tb disks.
This is exactly why I hate all the "app stores". The idea that anyone can just decide to install an app on my phone prevents me from using anything touched by google.
Wow, that took me back. When I was a kid every time I would say something outloud I had to repeat it to myself, whispering, to "check" if sounds "good", and I had absolutely no control over it. It would also drive me mad and adults would give me shit for it because they thought I was just playing some dumb game. One day it was just gone. And I felt just like you felt!
The honest answer here is that I don't trust any authority to be the "authority on information" and to be able to decide what I may or may not be able to see. I expect the search engine to be a search engine and not an "allowed material" repository.
History shows that an authority on anything would be abused sooner or later and if you live in a totalitarian country the technical ability to censor information is the last thing you want anyone having
No driver, processing or configuration is required on the bridged machine. This is good for devices you can't install a driver on (smart TVs, networked printers, any other appliance). No configuration also means you don't have to risk your wifi password being stored/shared with third parties.
I don't know if you ever worked with tech-illiterate people, but there is no way that they would print out or write down a list of codes or keep something in cold storage. Hell, even if they know how to. It's too much effort for something like email, and yet they wouldn't realize the importance until it's too late. I personally had to deal with an aging woman who had her online banking password set to her name followed by the year she was born in, and was unwilling to use the USB security key that the bank started providing. There was more than a million in her account. She couldn't be fucked to secure that kind of money with a free-of-charge easy to use key. It was not a case of an elderly woman struggling to remember her password or not understanding how to use it.
In her mind she deserved the access to her account just on the merit of it being "hers", and she saw the security as an unnecessary ritual that the bank used as a barrier between her and her money and nothing could convince her otherwise.
I don't think that's a protective measure, to me it just looks like a convenient way of tracking the liquid level in the cartridge. I don't think that a hack like this is harming the company or cuts into their revenue - most people wouldn't bother resetting these thing to refill them manually - the labor investment probably isn't worth it. Their target audience would pay for convenience, they already do by opting for cartridges instead of manual addition.
As someone who loves mechanical keyboards - there are many good membrane keyboards out there, if I had to use a membrane that would be Lenovo Preferred. They are a joy to type on.
