I expect SystemD was originally created because someone looked at Apple's LaunchD and decided they wanted a GPL-compatible alternative. But it certainly has metastiz... I mean, expanded a lot since then.

I agree, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much of an iPhone jailbreaking community anymore. Which is too bad... jailbreak tweaks introduced a lot of the more innovative features which eventually found their way into iOS proper.

Must be because of DEI - it gave all the cows Trump Derangement Syndrome.

It's just a variation of the Goebbel's playbook, which the Trump administration loves to follow - "accuse the other side of the thing you yourself are guilty of".

- Try to rig the upcoming election while yelling loudly about how the other party consistenly cheats - and without evidence, of course.
- Make up stories about how crooked the Dems are, while actively grifting yourself.

Regardless, it's nice to see Congress occasionally showing signs of having a spine, finally. It'd be great if they'd also figure out that the revenge dismantlement of NCAR is also going to cost money and lives.

Huh. Now you've got me wondering whether the members of our department's PR team are holding down second jobs in your art department.

Haha I have to admit that, seeing the headline, my first thought was "of course, being Epic, they had to name this after the evil brother..."

When it's codified into the highest law of the land and doesn't work, and suggestions to do so voluntarily can't work to the point of being laughable, what options do we have left?

There's always Nancy Reagan's catchphrase: Just Say No.

Any particular game is expendable. You won't miss out on anything. Games don't even have the network effects and lockin that you get with other types of software; it's a part of the economy where Just Saying No is easiest of all.

Don't like the quality? Don't spend your money. They have no power over us except what we give them. Stop being so selflessly altruistic when it comes to actively supporting your own abuse.

It's so damn easy, and there's already hundreds of years worth of hassle-free game-playing available to spend the few remaining seconds of your life on.

Yup. Also, apparently as of OpenSSH 10.1 people who aren't using quantum-resistant key algorithms will be warned.

Can we use these glasses, or are they just as worthless as Google's and Meta's, where they choose everything for you, and you'll likely get a DMCA complaint if you try to use them for your own purposes?

If not, then $21.95 is about as much as these people should be charging for the product, which is obviously intended to get its revenue through proprietary software/services sales.

Problem is, the damage is done - he's shown the world how unreliable the US can be, and they're not gonna forget. People loved to complain about America, but up until now they could typically count on America being willing (even eager) to lead... even if it was in a heavy-handed or tone-deaf manner.

"Make America Great Again" has, ironically, accelerated the country's decline towards irrelevance in the eyes of the rest of the world.

Any other software company facing a similar order would have immediately sent a lawyer to court to file an injunction to block the order. The fact that Anthropic immediately rolled over tells us that on some level, they wanted this government action. They literally didn't object to it.

... that water is wet.

Consensus... are you kidding? Trump thinks reality is set by fiat - HIS fiat.

Every time you block an ad, a puppy dies.

I was halfway expecting him to be "honored" with an UFC peac prize between cage matches tonight.
