Can we change the title to say NSA?

So now we have something like shrink wrap EULAs but for malls? Yikes

Is it legal in Canada to deny someome a service offered to the public because they didn't agree to this absurd policy?

An absolutely tiny and negligible amount, almost immeasurably small.

> I THINK it makes the class more effective.

_"VSCode is a great operating system, lacking only a decent code editor"_

If someone can easily cheat on your exam by using a cheat sheet and get a good grade what value are you as an educator providing, really?

I think what many are missing when they say youtube-dl was created with the intent to download copyrighted music is, and I quote:

youtube-dl started off as a pet-project (...) all the way back in 2006 (...). It long predates a lot of these “authorized” channels, like distribution networks such as Vevo (2009) or YouTube Music (2015). youtube-dl was never intended to circumvent these, because at the time that it was first released, these channels did not exist or were in inception.

> If this change means that you can use the same account for the Java Edition and the Bedrock Edition, that would be great

JE and BE are coded differently and have inherent differences in many gameplay mechanics. MS already owns Mojang so already there's nothing stopping them theoretically to make the two versions compatible. Requiring users to have a MS account won't change that.

Which is why you wouldn't pay it in the first place and which is why you would actually try to make your system secure instead of having an insurance pay for your gross negligence.

Yes, taking someone else's money is usually how taxes work.

Consider releasing it under the GPLv3 and I'll definitely check it out!

This is why football is so popular in Europe, every club has at least some players from the area in the most popular clubs. Every other club nearly only has players from the area. If you are from a town/city you very well might know a player's family, giving you the "connection" to cheer for that team.

What licence did you use?

As far as I can tell Internet is not a utility either in the U.S. so what's your point?

Exactly, companies just see people who need support as pure cost, since they can't make money off someone who already paid for the service, they treat you like garbage.

Isn't it already run on electron? Certainly feels like it.

Which is one of the many reasons why people should seriously consider using only free software.

Yes, they are indeed created by ethical deficiencies. There is nothing in the way of the legislators to pass a law which says insulin and similar substances created to treat diabetes cannot cost more than 100$ a vial. The only thing in their way is their greed. Their greed for sweet lobbying money.

I believe some devices sold by Amazon and Google (not TVs itself but things similar to a chromecast) have tried to connect to open networks because DNS requests (of advertising domains) were being blocked. I don't think a TV manufacturer doing the same thing is improbable if it didn't happen already.

There's a saying in German which is very fitting: "Wo ein Trog ist, sammeln sich die Schweine" it means: "Where there's a trough, pigs congregate"

Meanwhile the Swiss people voted to have two weeks of paternity leave instead of one day. The icing on the cake is that the actual initiative asked for four weeks but the parliament made a counter-proposal of two weeks after which the intiative committee withdrew their proposal of four. 60% of the voters were in favor.

Two weeks in one of the highest gdp per capita countries of the world. Two. Measly. Weeks. It was just one single day up until now. Let that sink in.

You can actually see one of the inspectors in the photo with the networks. He looks precisely as I imagined.

This is one big fat bluff. And if it isn't, the future looks even brighter!

Guess what. I have the same fucking condition and I'm delighted. It's gotten so bad that I don't eat in cafeterias, don't eat with my roommates and very very rarely in restauranrs. I'm still delighted to see that someone actually notices and that so many people have now been exposed to its existence.

Oh yeah, so it's noone's fault again. Just a software problem, no one saw it coming, nothing could be done!

> It can be hard to tell a difference between AirPods and some earbuds that resemble them, but checking the box is always a good start.

Seems to me this is very related to a classic RTFM.

Doesn't that involve funny things?

The PinePhone or a Fairphone with LineageOS.

Have a look at the Librem tho, just for shits and giggles if nothing else.

> What _really_ happens to the batteries that you responsibly deposit in the recycling container at your local supermarket?

Whatever the manager wants to happen of course. Unless you actually check some places out, see how they handle recycling and hit them with a hefty fine if they don't do it properly.

There's no need to ban Zoom itself. Just stop all money from the EU going to Zoom's accounts.
