I'm not understanding why you thought that was a reasonable reply to my comment.

IANAP and I'm mostly retired, so I'm doubly on the sidelines and don't have a dog in this fight. But I do have a wife who is forced to use Windows - the "hammerfuck" represented by that is about as much as I can handle.

Until they are infallible, yes.

Life is chock-full of "should haves", alas. Instead of each new project being better than the ones before, many people and organizations seem to think they know everything when they should have learned from others. I'm quite sure someone else had figured this out already.

If they have access to social media they might find out that the Pope protected a sex pest before he even became pope. I believe that's actually a requirement, though...

I'm not reading the code rn but I would assume the volume is mandated. It's got to be over a certain level to be considered audible to people with hearing disabilities. We had one on our RV as it used to be a bus, I disabled it. I will probably put it on a switch at some point though

Figure out who is reaping the benefits from the cost of living crisis facing the UK, US, CA, and others.

Close or nationalise their harmful "business" and get average people back on track to prosperity and improving the quality of life for each successive generation. Because not doing that is dumb, it's a path straight to revolution.

On one hand you're right, on the other hand, unmet need is unsustainable

No, what's fucking stupid is that Microsoft clearly has no meaningful automated testing for these patches before they send them to "Insiders".

What's almost as stupid is defending their incompetence for free.

In the last decade, we’ve had massively improved cycling infrastructure and also the rise of scooters, e-bikes and Lime and similar bikes, along with Uber. I think each of those will have eaten away at Zipcar rides.

A shame, bc Zipcar filled a niche, but if they can’t make the number add up, then not a surprise

Ads can also be non intrusive.

Oh good, slashdot now has autoplay video ads that bypass uBlock.

I'm not a US lawyer, but I'd interpret that as they need to block commercial VPN services advertised for circumventing blocks.

It's perfectly possible to be left-wing on economic issues and right-wing on issues of liberty. There's more than one left-right axis.

Imagine a person who is against all form of taxation and government interference in private business, but also vehemently opposed to the government dictating what consenting adults do in their own bedrooms.
Is this person left-wing, right-wing, both or neither?

Labour may be notionally on the left when it comes to the economics of the country, though nowhere nearly as much as they were in the past, but they've also had a bit of an authoritarian streak in recent decades.

Laws which require backup noises apply to vehicles where there is no person operating the vehicle who can reasonably see behind them. That's why they are on trucks and buses. They also only apply to commercial motor vehicles, which these are.

The charging stations shouldn't be located in these places, and they should also be designed for pull-throughs. Even if there weren't a noise issue (which there won't be if they aren't installed in dumb locations) there still would be other reasons to do it.
