Schrotflinte, die schiessen Schrot

If Qt or Java is doing it, then that’s still your program and not the WM, though?

“How about you take care of the children you already have for a change and keep at least 500 yards of distance to me forever?”

First of all patents run out generally after 20 years. And then everyone can use your technology.

The whole idea of patents is incitivising inventors to publish their invention for everyone to see. In exchange they get a period of exclusivity. This way they also don’t have to deal with as many trade secrets.

I love how this comment suggests every fucking alternative doesn’t or wouldn’t.

How did you get that from their sentence, what the fuck?

So Fuentes says that Trump can’t admit Trump lost, because that makes everything they did senseless. Which is what we’ve been saying all along.

I think he knew all along, but he saw the value in sowing doubt and making it part of his usurpation plans. If you can steal the executive branch and have enough people believe it was justified, because it was actually the counter reaction to a stolen vote, then you have an easier time of mystifying your history and maintaining international relations.

You know like the old playbook of brown shirts in Germany who ended the Weimar Republic.

The server is used for hole punching, to open up a P2P connection thorugh NATs and Firewalls. If it doesn’t work the server also relays the traffic between the clients.

Getting an end to end connection through todays internet is unfortunately not easy for an average user.

Using modern UEFI booting with a 1GB shared ESP and grub2 has worked just fine for me in the last 8 years. os-prober has always just found the Windows install and generated the necessary boot entry for grub. Windows has never trespassed into the Fedora or Ubuntu folder of the ESP as far as I can tell.

Those two domains are as close to each other as google.com and facebook.com or thepiratebay.org and wikipedia.org or mit.edu and stanford.edu

To make the point more explicit: sharing a TLD doesn’t mean shit.

Never had an issue, but I also haven’t used the encoder. As for emulation I only used bluestacks and some windows VMs and I think a glide to opengl wrapper once. No issues there…

A microkernel teaching OS by Andrew S. Tanenbaum.

In 2017 the world (including Tanenbaum) found out that the Intel Management Engine uses Minix internally. Intel just kind of did that silently. So Minix is still around.

GOG if I can, because DRM freeness has to be rewarded as much as possible

nix-darwin is kind of nice too, but only really for CLI tools. You can let nix-darwin manage your homebrew for GUI stuff, if you want.

I’d still take linux if I could though. macOS is just work mandated.

Mine sure doesn’t. I send it to sleep (since you can’t send it directly to hibernate like a normal OS), and the next day the battery is empty and it won’t start. This happens about once a month, and I haven’t found the common variable yet.

Makes sense that he has to believe this, otherwise he’d be hellbound in his own view

Some software uses license servers where each client is supposed to request a seat temporarily. If more people use it at once than seats were licenses they detect that with phone home features. We had that with Matlab I believe, if you tried using it in the most popular time you might not be able to.

It should be treated with “utmost importance”, not with utmost importance. That ending is quite subversive!

I wrote a script to turn the power of the the Wifi+Bluetooth chip off, then enumerate the PCIe bus again to start it back up.

The chip sometimes hung itself when using both. I looked for the bug and even found an Intel engineer on some mailing list admitting that they had issues with coexistance mode.

Just turning the wireless off and back on wasn’t enough I needed to reeinitialize the hardware and that was the best way I knew.

In schools? How is this even still an open question? I thought the debate had at least moved on to whether parents should be allowed to hurt their children, even in the US.
