> North Korea has local copyright laws and is a signatory to the Berne Convention.

They're also a democracy (Democratic People's Republic of Korea).

Copyright is bourgeoisie concept. Ask Kim.

Opened this thread expecting to share this fond gaming memory. I've wished that modern games was more like this more than once. Finding jumps for crossing entire maps was incredibly liberating!

I was thinking of Android software in more general terms.

> Some people on HN seem to take security much more seriously than necessary

Necessary to who?

Stirred, not shaken!

Or even better, (if open-source) put it on F-droid.

Who could've guessed? It would be interesting to see a "move slow and fix things" approach for once. But I guess it isn't compatible with ruthless expansion.

On this topic, a must read: http://www.coding2learn.org/blog/2013/07/29/kids-cant-use-co...

Thanks!

Thanks for the short review!

How usable is this as a general purpose OS? I seldom see people running it outside VMs. How hard is it to find compatible hardware such as wireless cards. Does sleep/suspend work reliably?

Lastly, I just LOVE the aesthetics. Even XFCE could not resist the allure of "improved" themes and also ended up welcoming CSDs.

Because the only feature I've ever needed from Calibre is ePub conversion and Amazon will do that for me without hassle (and without access to desktop computer).

And (another fun fact) if you want to email EPUBs to your kindle, just make the file extension .png (!?) and it will be automatically converted, without the need for Calibre.

Thanks for this!

There's an excellent example in this very thread on how politics (i.e. democracy) can trump capital.

The one thing you can't do as a developer in 2021 is claim innocence while you're letting these companies feast on your visitors data. You do know how these things work and you're assisting surveillance capitalism. You are complicit in your silent embedding of these tracking devices.

How is this GDPR compliant? What tracking is used for EU citizens? I've seen no consent notices here in the EU.

Exactly. This blog clearly showed that tracking remained even after switching to a paid plan. These companies have tasted the forbidden fruit of surveillance capitalism and they won't roll back voluntarily.

So, honest question... Why would one chose Vivaldi over Firefox (with Tree Style Tab)?

...and you'd be OK in the EU too.

https://temp-mail.org/ Switches and adds new domains regularly. That's necessary for such a service like this.

But even worse, what happens when Mozilla decides to pull the plug after a year (like they do with 80% of their projects)?

Fanboy's Annoyance should already have what Fanboy's Cookiemonster List has. And, it's one of the default, but not activated, lists in uBlock Origin.

Note that neither Safari nor Chrome are good choices if you want an effective adblocker these days.

Firefox, use it.

Oh, headline kind of triggered me. Gave me hope for USB storage on Amiga 500. That was an unreasonable thought.

This is the correct answer.

Is there E2EE support for Matrix?

Edit: Nope. https://github.com/matrix-org/purple-matrix/issues/18

I re-read that piece just a week ago. It's magnificent and now even more true than eight years ago.

Spoke to friend this week, she told me she doesn't have a computer. That's increasingly common. People get by with their phones.

I know it's mind-boggling, but there are also a few other countries outside US and A. :)

In Sweden as an example, it's OK to share with a small group of friends[1].

There's darktable, and it's getting very good (albeit quite complicated).
