Tab Session Manager has the ability to automatically "remember" all tab sets that have been opened and edit/restore previous points in time. Although it can't sort.

Still, that person needs to understand the concept of bookmarks :)

>"The problem is "free for non-commercial use" doesn't define "commercial use" in any context."

Well, that isn't part of his proposal.

But since you mentioned it, I have never been that much of a fan of the terms "non-commercial use" because, like you said, they are rarely well defined and can lead to confusion. Plus, it tends to ignore non-profits, not-for-profit, and charitable organizations, which might be considered "commercial use" and yet maybe shouldn't be.

> "So, in my ideal world, we'd have an OS entirely without SUID"

In *his* ideal world, he would have an OS with every service, even kernel functions, running under systemd... SystemdOS.

>"I use one instance of a piece of software covered by this license - why would that software warrant 1% (or any other percentage?) of revenue of the product?"

+1

I was thinking the exact same thing when I read it. Just because you used, for example, gzip, along with millions of lines of custom (non-open code), 1% might not be fair at all. And especially if that fee is based on TOTAL revenue. Or is this revenue on just that particular product (because they may sell many)? And why on revenue and not profit? What if they aren't making any profit? What if they are, themselves, a non-profit company?

If anything, it would need to be on from-profit only companies, and on profit (not revenue) and only based on the percent of how much and how important the FOSS contribution was to the overall project. But how in the world could anyone compute that?

>"Note that Wikipedia is a private organization with its own rules, "

True. Now imagine how much even worse sites like this would be with the government stepping in to declare what is "truth" or not. Well, we don't have to imagine it, Russia is a perfect example.

>"and happens to be leftist-liberal-oriented"

Leftist, yes.

Liberal, not really. True [classical] liberals would welcome and expose all sides of arguments and having such arguments. That no longer really occurs on Wikipedia. Just about every article I see has a huge left-slant in content and wording any any attempt at neutral wording or balance is immediately reverted and then cloaked in a careful network of so-called "reliable" sources which all just feed off each other.

>in MAGA parlance

In any parlance. So-called "MAGA" was a reaction to leftism, not the cause of it. I, for one, would be glad to be rid of both.

>"Roku is considering how to get video ads embedded into the home page as well"

At that point, I will probably look for a different device or try to find a way to block it. I specifically chose to buy Rokus because they are ubiquitous and not annoying. Even shelled out for their top-of-the-line models.

I don't care much about a static image. But I simply can't stand videos or motion, of any type, in my field of view when I am trying to focus on something. I know it is probably something wrong with me, but I can't be alone. I wish I could throw this affliction at anyone designing stuff like that so they could get a taste of the hell.

I want it converted to number of encyclopedias or number of Library of Congresses. :)

Yeah, that is certain sus. Could be one of the many IRS offices is somehow whacked.

>"Obviously they will go elsewhere, but this is just to benefit US megacorps."

1) I am not sure that is the motivation, although I don't doubt there there is support behind it from US megacorps on that basis. But multiple things can be true at once

2) There are legit concerns about security and information manipulation.

3) Why is that worse than benefiting China's megacorps?

4) There is an "out" that would allow it to continue to exist and compete, all they have to do is sell off the division that operates in the US.

>"What about the people the cameras recorded? Innocent folks who just walked up to the door? Trick or treating minors you recorded without permission? The pizza guy and the mailman?"

Unfortunately, you have no expectation or "right" to privacy being out in public. And you don't need anyone's "permission" to record them.

>"Aren't THEY the ones whose privacy was actually invaded?"

Technically, no. The person who owns the device is. Plus, it is likely that person (owner) is captured by the camera far, far more often, and the person is far more likely to known by the service.

>" When do they get paid?"

I would love to be paid every time a camera records me in public. It would be a lot of money :)

There is a reason I am not stupid enough to have any recording device on my property that is controlled or accessible by some third-party.

Damn, that is what I get for posting when late/tired.

Yeah, $40 is far more reasonable.

I wish there were a way to edit or delete postings. Anyway, thanks for posting.

>"You mean, provide Free File Fillable Forms like these?"

Ah, I skipped over that because I thought it was just fillable PDF files, which is what I already do. Reading about it, looks like I can't use it:

"you must have a U.S. phone number that accepts text messages"

"phone verification [...] If you are not receiving the verification codes, from both sources, you will not be able to create an account:"

I do not give out my cell number to ANY organization, ever. Oh well, guess I am stuck with paper. :(

Also, I am guessing this is a lie: "Operating Systems: Windows and Mac only"

>"Solve all your problems and format your drives with ext4"

All my drives *are* ext4 (except the one that is zfs), since they all run Linux.

[further rant on]

I can't even stand restaurants now because people are so inconsiderate they use the damn speakers on their stupid phones, squealing/shrill noise from speakerphone conversations, watching videos, playing games and "entertaining" themselves and their also-addicted children (to supposedly prevent them from endless screaming, and I am not sure which is worse). Almost the same thing in many stores, waiting rooms, lines, etc.

At work in the cafeteria, they put up signs saying "no speaker use on phones" and of course it is ignored by most of the people who it was targeting, and there is no enforcement. Another space ruined. Last time I tried to go to a movie, CONSTANT distraction by damn phone screens in my general view, every 10 seconds.

It is just unbelievable how self-absorbed, inconsiderate, and unaware people are now. The only thing that makes life tolerable for me "in public" now is that I have to carry noise-canceling earphones to shut myself out from the constant noise. And that certainly doesn't work well if I want to eat out and converse with other people. At least it is more pleasant than earplugs, were I have to listen to my own heartbeat and breathing.

[rant off]

>"is sending 117,044 PayPal payments"

So that is $47.86 per impacted customer, and sent automatically. Hmm. At least it is not like those ridiculous class-action suits where you have to fill out a bunch of forms, MAIL it in, wait several months or years, and then get a whopping $2 or $5 or something stupid for all that effort.
