Meta has lots and lots of information about me and my friends.
But the ads I see on Facebook are utterly bewildering.
I get ads for software to run my dental practice, law firm, or church.
I get ads for preparation services for some social-work exam I've never heard of.
I get ads for audio engineering tools.
I get ads for addiction treatment services.
The list goes on and on. None of this stuff has the slightest relevance to me.
If you're paying to advertise on Facebook, I say you're probably getting ripped off.

My daily driver has been Plasma on FreeBSD for several years now.
This year I switched over to Wayland, and it's working pretty well. About as many quirks as I've seen on Linux.
I enjoyed PC-BSD back in the day, and I've used GhostBSD before. I understand the appeal of a distribution with a GUI already set up.
But it has gotten really easy to set up a GUI on FreeBSD.

My laptop's wifi is Intel AX200, which seems to be one of the best choices for FreeBSD right now.
There was a major speed boost in the iwlwifi driver from 14.2 to 14.3, and the new iwx driver in 15.0 seems to bring a big stability upgrade without a loss of speed.
On balance I'm happy with the direction the project is moving.

Why have any rules or standards at all? Just give all students full credit in everything.
If we're going to make college the last bit of preparation standing between "children" and the real world, at some point we have to require them to do something hard.

False. The source code they linked to is the ZIL source code of the games themselves, as uploaded to GitHub (illegally at the time) by Jason Scott in 2019.
But this announcement totally ignores the fact that the source code of all of the other Infocom text adventures is there too, still illegally.

I know, time for the twice-yearly bitchfest about DST.
Business schedules need to change with the season. Everybody moving their clocks (most of them automatically nowadays) is so much easier than everybody changing schedules.

No previous definition? Find any jurisdiction anywhere that has ever defined copyright infringement as theft. It never happened.

If I'm charged with theft, and I prove that the owner retained possession of the "stolen" property, I'll be acquitted. Obviously.
None of this excuses copyright infringement, but you simply used the wrong word.
Illegal immigration is not arson, and copyright infringement is not theft.

Theft means I take something away from you, so I have it and you don't.
Making a copy of something is fundamentally different from theft. That doesn't mean it's okay, but theft is the wrong word.

So it's illegal to run such a modified firmware. That shouldn't stop the FSF from releasing free firmware.

Meanwhile, all podcasts are made in Los Angeles (which is why I know how to pronounce "Los Feliz"), and every novel is set in New York City.

I had no idea Gritty was an anti-fascist meme.
Just about the only thing I know about Philadelphia culture is that Phillies fans throw batteries.

There's no reason this device needed the maker to continuously run a server for it.
That was a choice they made, for the sake of control.
That's the kind of design choice that was always bad and ought to go away.

The Korean government couldn't afford a petabyte of storage to back up documents without which "operations are at a standstill".

Will these run Linux at launch?
I think this kind of thing tends to be a not very standard or open SoC. Supporting the ARM cores themselves is not enough.
Look at all the work it's taking Asahi Linux to run on Apple Silicon Macs.

It's hopeless to expect the AI crawlers to respect this.
They're already actively hacking Anubis to get in.
They know they're unwelcome.

This is so simple. The second group of people don't jump through the many hoops that stand in the way of sideloading.

I deny the existence of a group of people that need to be protected by totally eliminating non-Google-mediated apps.

Are they hoping to breed an entire sinister species?
Under natural conditions, this mutation dies out immediately.
Humans have always helped along lots of weird mutations, but usually there's something in it for us.
