Our only saviour could be the Tolkien Foundation who's been very active suing everyone who dares to refer to any of JRR's works. And copyright has been given such a strength that the FCC has no chances, they may at most pay the extortionists.

Still, they're the Monsanto of software: if something would be worth doing and lucrative, but is not evil, they're not doing.

This scorpion doesn't seem able to change its stripes.

The Global Warming Gang is not in the business of predicting anything, they try hard to make it happen.

But if you mean scientists, just wait till you hear about AMOC collapse. No serious models anymore say it won't happen. And then, you'll have the heat that you wish for.

Recycling plastic is a scam, and has been known to be impossible 70 years ago when the idea was born. But reducing trash is an important goal, mostly due to plastic not decomposing for pretty much forever.

I've been using Demon's Dead (MAP10/MAP16) as phone's ringtone for decades now; DSSLOP as the notification sound.

Shawn Got the Shotgun (MAP07) is another gem.

On the other hand, if you haven't seen Doom stuff this millenium, go check out Pirate Doom!

The word "capitalism" wasn't coined until much later. That means two things: One, it doesn't uphold capitalism and Two, it doesn't disparage it. What is in the Constitution is fundamental rights. Capitalism is a consequence of individuals exercising those rights, up to the point where it infringes on the rights of others. Recognizing that is one of the things that made Theodore Roosevelt a great president. There is nothing un-American about wanting to reign in capitalism, but there is something decidedly un-American about wanting to destroy it wholesale, since as mentioned previously it arises from the exercise of natural rights. This is the much-hated nuance, particularly despised by the left, who seek to abolish capitalism; but also some on the right who have an agenda to give free reign to robber-barons and undo the works of T.R. and others.

If you enable sideloading, Android will also disable a bunch of "protections", some real some alleged. And bank apps and even stuff like my phone company's payment control app refuse to start if those protections are off.

At least that's what I glean from what Google said; we can't even test what they actually block until the restrictions go live.

I've driven one of those box U-hauls before. It takes some getting used to. You have to be attentive. BE ATTENTIVE to what's behind you. And one time, I actually had to turn around because of a low railroad trestle. It was a bit embarrassing to have not planned my route properly and get forced to turn around in a small parking lot; but nowhere near as embarrassing as peeling the top off the truck.

I for one wouldn't vote for Jesus Christ no matter which party he'd run for. We got more than enough religious loonies.

On the other hand, there's no record about what he preached, as there's plenty of evidence that the cult that spawned in the 0070s has no relations to Jesus other than using his name (if he did exist at all).

Or, even better, kill copyrights and patents completely. They have crippled culture and innovation for long enough.

Why not, they do! Note that the article is from the US, thus each pizza (but only frozen) is a serving of vegetables, and because tomato is a fruit, the frozen pizza also counts.

It's also a TREMENDOUS performance advantage. The benchmark in TFA doesn't reflect real-life usage as most sites, even javascript-heavy ones, spend 90% or more time on ads and tracking. That "instant auction" for whom gets to rape your eyeballs is anything but instant.

It does, actually. Not from a direct hit of course, that would need tens of meters of reinforced concrete and radiation shielding, but the vast majority of nuclear attacks don't hit you directly. And for that, getting out of the line of sight and into a place somewhat protected from flying debris is a very good idea.

On the other hand, swearing at Word, or any Microsoft product for that matter, is the default mode of operation, and is not going to help. If Copilot ever gains sentience, then based on its current training data, it'll actually enjoy putting you into this mode.

On the third hand, me living about a kilometer (in straight line) from the airport in a city ~50km away from Russian border is probably bad for survivability.

Well, technically it works -- but it's so far from email standards that I wouldn't be surprised if they drop compatibility with regular email at some point.

At this point, it'd be reasonable to make arch/x86 require 64-bit and that arch/x86-old dir keep 32-bit. It'd allow for massive cleanup of old code that was last maintained a couple of decades ago.
