No it's actually the site's backend making an assumption about the code page used. Other sites work fine when posting content with 's and `s from Apple browsers because they don't make this assumption

For fucks sake Slashdot fix your punctuation handling you lazy shits its 2022

MediaTek SoCs are generally underperforming crap. Trust me thereâ(TM)s nothing there worth stealing. To be honest I see this as ultimately hurting Intelâ(TM)s fabâ(TM)s reputation if anything

Also slashdot a handling of quote glyphs is nonsensical too. Wtf itâ(TM)s 2022, slashdot jhc

So just because it canâ(TM)t solve everything it shouldnâ(TM)t even try to solve some things? Your argument is nonsensical.

> Security experts recommend that Exim server owners update to Exim version 4.94 to protect their systems against attacks. Those âoesecurity expertsâ should be recommending people remove exim from their networks entirely.

The key phrase there is "within the scope of their training and LPS policies and procedures" - and they will find the officers did exactly what procedure dictates they do so the investigation will conclude no wrong-doing, regardless of any ethical or moral issues their behaviour might have crossed.

..those filthy places that smell like urine, have sticky floors, crap all over the screens, surround you with obnoxious people on all sides, and then charge you a small fortune for this terrible experience? Hahaha f*** off. Let them die.

(Had to vent.)

The same as anywhere else? My sofa is hand crafted. It's defect free, but if it weren't then the crafter would have to fix it (tear in the leather, broken support, etc). Why would you think the definition of defect wouldn't apply?

Can confirm I've fought manufacturers on their 'dead pixel policies' before in Oz and won, with the help of the ACCC. Basically a defect is 'Anything that would prevent the consumer from buying one instance of a product over another instance of the same product if they knew about it in advance', and dead pixels are considered defects by this definition, and manufacturers can't refuse replacement on defective products, period. The '7 day' or '30 day' policies are also not enforceable, if you get dead pixels 9 months down the road they still have to fix or replace. Even if it's 1 dead pixel. Nintendo will not be able to enforce this policy here, though it might be quite time consuming and tedious to make them comply. (nb: I am not a lawyer but I've been in this boat before)

You're forgetting the part where the developer, lying, told users 'There's lots out there you just have to explore and find it!' - Some were more trusting of this than others and spent more time exploring trying to find these things that, it turns out, don't actually exist in the game. Spending 50 hours being naive doesn't mean you're a thief while the person who clued in after 8 hours isn't. Both are victims of fraud and deserve their refunds.

Oh the apprehension isn't over the technology or advances we could make. Just the thought of a allegedly benevolent but utterly secretive alien from the Babylon 5 universe being so excited about tinkering with our DNA.

The point is not all of them have, which would be fine except those who haven't are being pressured and actively ridiculed by those who have - which is wrong and definitely not in the spirit of FOSS. Lennart made a claim previously that the Open Source Community is "quite a sick place to be in". This is in fact in no small part due to his own project's political maneuvering and strong-arming which others outside of the systemd camp have noticed and take exceptional issue with.

If someone want to use systemd they can go right ahead. That is their right and I would not dare to suppress that right or insult them for exercising it. But when systemd proponents start pressuring other distros to get on board and ridiculing those who say no and throwing baseless ad-hominem attacks at their users who don't want it, that is exactly what they are doing - trying to suppress those users' rights and insulting them for exercising it and turning FOSS into quite a sick place to be in. As awesome as systemd might be, the community and politics around it disgusts me and I want no part of it.

I'm sure this might seem like a flamebait post to some but it has been my experience and I think both sides of 'the debate' need to take a step back and recall that we're all in this together so lets stop trashing each other and pushing agendas and come to a mutually agreeable compatible outcome instead of acting like religious extremists.

I don't think we are assuming our current theories are totally correct, otherwise we wouldn't be looking for new physics (in the form of dark matter particles) to explain what we're seeing. Signs tend to indicate though that out current mode of thinking is correct but incomplete, as opposed to being completely wrong, which is why we're not throwing out everything and starting again from scratch.
