They can't use any of the existing WMs or compositors because they have their own display engine. But you're right, it's sad to see them fail so hard when they could just copy something that doesn't suck

...which was found to be a violation of antitrust law when Microsoft did it...

How long before we find out that the public functions are just the private functions with delay loops added, like they were with Microsoft? How many iFanboys will still be defending them then? I bet it will be all of them.

Why does the US government need to have scientists on staff? That's seriously a question for you? You absolutely, positively, and in every other way do not belong here if you don't understand the value of science.

This isn't suicide, it's an attack by Russia.

We're weak against it because we're stupid.

We're stupid because Republicans have been degrading public education since Reagan. He started on that mission even before becoming president, by doing it in our most populous and profitable state.

That's really the rub. Even if the manufacturing came back, which I agree it wouldn't, the jobs still wouldn't because automation has increased a hell of a lot over the last few decades. We could bring 100% of the manufacturing back and it wouldn't solve unemployment.

Fuck yeah.

Yeah, that's why the system is unsustainable. Very good observation, but too bad you had to lick boots about it.

It must seem that way if you are very stupid and satisfied with facile explanations which make you feel smart.

The problem is, I specifically said this was about their training corpus.

Either you can't read, in which case learn to read, or you didn't bother to read before replying, in which case fuck you.

They are destroying their purchased copy of a book, and they still aren't allowed to keep any copies, which is what I actually said and you disagreed with. Now you're agreeing? But not acknowledging that's what I said in the first place?

I'm very happy to criticise my country, the PM and so on and so forth.

What I'm not going to be doing is be lectured by a smug American. America is descending to fascism right before your eyed. You beloved second amendment is more likely to get you shot by ICE than offer you any protection. Freedom wise, my country might be a long way from perfect, but I'd take it over the US.

There are laws both about making and distributing copies. They are both illegal. There are fines which can be applied even when you are making copies for personal use. You are generally considered to be allowed to format shift, but only if you keep the originals. Otherwise you could just be buying and returning (or reselling) media after making copies.

I read your citation. Either it doesn't say what you think it says or you don't understand what I said.

You don't have to destroy media when format shifting. You have to relinquish all copies when you trade the original. The original also is the proof of license. Guess what you've got if you destroy it? Not that.

Supposedly they look at return history of the customer to make decisions, but I think its crap.

ALL retailers are looking at your return history. Your return history with various stores is collected by a few aggregators who are there looking for return fraud. And Amazon is one of them - they have access to not just your return history with them, but if you return stuff to Best Buy and other places.

These companies track your returns and if it exceeds a certain percentage of orders, or even a certain dollar value, they will reject it. People have been warned that if they place the order with the intent on returning items on it, they will be banned from doing the return.

Retailers are checking because returns are expensive for them to handle - if you're someone to buy items and then return them (e.g., you buy a piece of clothing in 3 sizes to return 2), they will flag you from returns.

My dream includes being able to see moderation details

CEO who should not even exist (in multiple senses arguably, but I mean Mozilla shouldn't have one here) justifying his multi million dollar salary in the usual way - with bullshit.
