> EDIT: nevermind, this doesn't seem to have made this the default for building packages locally, just for ones you download from the official repos. Guess I'll go change that by hand and then still be sad that I can't have it easily disabled entirely for AUR helpers but build my packages with compression.

I believe you can supply it via an environment variable if your AUR helper has the ability to set those for `makepkg`.

> No need for calling code "garbage."

In my opinion calling the code garbage is much nicer than "The author of that post has a common misconception", which sounds like a passive-aggressive way to call someone dumb. Everyone writes bad/'garbage' code once in awhile.

I don't belive the kernel exposes timeslice information to userspace in linux.

Edit: Also, you'd have to predict how long a spinlock was going to spin for in advance.

No, your parent poster is completely wrong. You'll pay more in taxes reporting 45k with the standard deduction than if you report 35k with the standard deduction. The only scenario in which the standard deduction "fixes" this issue is if it reduces your taxable income to the point where you do not owe income tax regardless of if you report that extra income or not.

> I wouldn't rely on it because it's committing to an ongoing arms race against the browsers. One that I expect them to win.

Don't be so sure about this. The world's most popular browser is developed by the world's largest advertising company. I'm not saying Google is intentionally sabotaging Chrome, but I doubt they're putting significant resources into anti-ad technologies.

The screenshots looks like vanilla Roundcube to me, and most (all?) of the features advertised are available in Roundcube itself or an included plugin.

That said, a hosted version of Roundcube is not necessarily a bad thing, but I do wish they'd put their own spin on it and add some unique features.

> Except for light financial crime (ransomware, money laundering, gambling, theft, etc), it has no demonstrated advantage over alternative technologies.

Slight nitpick: Cryptocurrencies have demonstrable advantages over existing solutions (pseudo-anonymity, decentralization, inflation-proof, etc) but consumers don't care about these advantages enough to make the switch.

Wouldn't help here, this is a Windows game being run under wine.

Do you support (or at least not want the government to ban) libel/slander?

What about child pornography?

Should I be able to run into an airport and yell "BOMB"?

Perjury? Should it be illegal to lie in court?

I also assume that if I had your real name, address, and SSN that you think it should be legal for me to post that info in this comment ('doxxing')?

Now, the thing is, I mostly agree with you. However, it's plainly ridiculous to claim that someone has to fully support/oppose free speech. Make a real argument rather than just claim your opponent's position doesn't exist in order to strawman their position as 'not suporting freedom of speech and expression'.

Neither of those answers are right because it was published in 1950. For works published in 1950 the copyright was 28 years, and if the copyright was renewed with the US Copyright Office they got another 67 years. This leaves two possibilities:

The copyright holder didn't renew, in which case the work already is (and has been for awhile) in the public domain.

The copyright holder did renew, and the copyright lasts until 2045.

"Responsible disclosure" is a buzzword made up by companies to bully security researchers into keeping quiet about vulnerabilities for months. If the OP is unable to contact the maintainer because they are missing it would be irresponsible to keep quiet about the bug.

People tell me this, but I've been waiting for years in the US for competition to make our healthcare cheaper/better than other countries, but it never seems to come.

I guess that means I can trust you.

I assume you mean the UNIX philosophy? Regardless, almost all of said components are optional, systemd doesn't in any way force you to use them. As a matter of fact many of the components you listed have alternatives that are more popular than the systemd tool (NetworkManager over systemd-networkd, GRUB2 over systemd-boot, etc).

I see we've reached the point in any systemd-related debate where someone tries to claim systemd is bloated by listing off projects that are not part of the systemd init system and just happen to share a common name and dev team.

> When Ghandi said "Be the change you want to see in the world" he meant that you can't wait for the other side to behave in a humanistic fashion. You have to start it yourself, or the cycle of mistrust continues.

Is speaking out against financial supporting a group seriously considering not "humanistic"? They're not advocating for violence against cops or something, I'd say they are taking the high road as Ghandi suggested.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but can anyone explain to me how this is better than using a tool like selenium for scraping? I guess this might be easier to quickly setup and play around with for one-off scraping?

The desktop site has a link to https://github.com/trustcrypto in the footer.

There's an unstable and unofficial patch some people use, but no upstream Chromium does not. This isn't a "Chromium is better than FF" complaint, just a complaint about FF on linux in general.

> But Brave has a backdoor!

> No it doesn't. Brave is open source and there has been no backdoor ever found. Many people claim that Brave being able to use custom HTTP headers are a backdoor but this isn't true. HTTP headers are allowed as per RFC 7231. See Brendan Eich's response to this.

This has got to be a joke, right? Nobody's claiming that Brave 'using custom HTTP headers' is not allowed in the HTTP spec, the problem is that Brave downloads a list of headers to inject into requests for specific websites.

I'm not sure I'd call this a "backdoor", but considering it cannot (to my knowledge) be disabled it at least deserves a conversation. Trying to minimize the complaint with "it's allowed in the HTTP spec" is insane.

> Firefox is slow (especially on Linux) when compared with Chromium.

People tell me this, but I genuinely can't tell the difference between Chrome and FF's speed on linux. Both feel equally fast to me. My only real complaint about FF on linux is a lack of hardware video decoding.

> Mozilla's power move would be to base Firefox on Chromium (or at least fork Chromium)

You can't be serious.

"The author believes" or "The author concludes" in a conclusion of a report essentially always has the subtext "because of the evidence".

Presumably those "opinions" were based on the data the scientists collected. All of the following cannot be proven to be 100% objectively facts, so we better just throw them out out science:

- Theory of Evolution

- Big Bang Theory

- General Relativity

- Global Warming/Climate Change

- Cell Theory

- Germ Theory

- etc etc (Just look up "scientific theories" or similar if you want more)

I wonder what the world would we be living in if people like you were actually focusing on automation and not wasting time reading and commenting on HN posts.

Maybe we wouldn't be living in such a lowly automated reality, using concepts from the previous centuries. Robotics might even make sense...

SMS and call based spam is much harder to filter out than emails.

Because that's how it works right now (at least in the US, can't speak for other countries for sure), and I'm intentionally writing a question biased in the opposite direction of how yours was.

I have showdead on, but swiley's post doesn't display as dead for me.

Unless I'm shadowbanned with you I can assure you that you're not.

"Would you like the government to permanently have access to all private messages without a warrant so they can catch terrorists, of which they cannot provide a single example of a terrorist this system has caught?"

Look at me, I can write a technically true but biased question too!

Good to hear, I wish you success.

I understand on Windows/Mac you have to package the JRE, but I'd recommend considering using the distro for that functionality on linux - it's generally frowned upon to re-package stuff in the official repos.

I think an AppImage would generally be worse, I'd rather be able to use my system's JRE and libraries. I'm on Arch, so if you provide an archive of the application we can work with that. If you really want to go above and beyond for Arch users you could make and publish an AUR package.
