that yummy koolaid

Given that the Roberts Court is one of the most corporate-friendly in history, this decision comes as something of a surprise.

Nonetheless, it appears to be largely concordant with the so-called "Betamax case" from the early 1980's which established the principle of significant non-infringing uses as a defense and, despite passage of the DMCA, still largely informs the contours of contributory infringement.

I've been administering systems remotely, thousands of miles apart, for over 30 years and never had an issue with systems not coming up until SystemD was introduced.

I'm not saying it hasn't happened to you but the choices you make generate your results. I prioritize stability, reliability and security so I never had an issue.

Labels like 'tribal kneejerk anti-SystemD people" don't help the converstation. There are people who believe their is a right tool for the job. A Swiss army knife is great for emergencies but you never see a carpenter using it as a main tool.

Yeah, as noted above .. people read stuff like this like it's his money. It'd be nice if they taught how screwed up this level of wealth disparity is in schools.

At his wealth, you can put tons of others people's money where ever you damn well want, for any reason, just because you have a hunch (or for vested other interests)

If people didn't love them they wouldn't sell them. People around me are obsessed with giant trucks.

Ok, shut down data centers and AI farms first. Then I'll consider it.

You dummies buy the sockpuppets hook line and sinker.

Reading is difficult.

People keep asking why bother submitting apps for iOS if Apple can just de-list or reject anything they like, at any time.

The obvious answer is that you stand to make a lot of profit and considerable brand recognition if your app is listed there and becomes popular.

The reality is, Apple isn't just going around, randomly kicking apps or app developers out of their store, though. They have actual reasons. People usually just happen to disagree with them.

I'm not familiar with this Musi app, but from the Slashdot description at least? It sounds like another useless "front end" app that just pulled from YouTube and regurgitated their audio content to users. I'd put it under "apps nobody needed". Their own web site says. "Discover Musi, the free app that allows you to stream and organize the music that you want. With unlimited playlists, crossfade, equalizer and more".

Honestly, that's nonsense. You can organize your YouTube streams using their own app. I know people who paid for YouTube Red (ad free) who listen to custom playlists all the time from it. Maybe there's no built-in cross-fade option but would you *really* install another app just to hear your tracks cross-fade between each one when you stream them? You can set a global EQ for what you listen to from your iOS device too. If you feel a need to keep messing with it for various songs you're streaming? You probably just need to find better sources for those streams! Low resolution digital sampling of the original content is your likely culprit.

EVs require a different paradigm for charging than filling a tank with gas for a traditional vehicle.

The main advantage with an EV is that an owner gets to charge it overnight while they sleep, so it has a "full tank of energy" each day, ready to use.

Nobody is interested in having to stop and charge one all the time at a service station or other charging station around town. That would take a good 20-60 minutes (depending on the vehicle and charge level). That's tolerable but not ideal for long road trips, but not for daily driving/commutes.

I feel like an actual measurement would help even illiterate americans more than "small humpback whale"

Just like every other tax collected by the government. You didn't mention the cost overruns of SAAQClick, nor the disaster that is the road network that is falling apart or the construction of a hospital parking lot instead of fixing a hospital that is crumbling with water cascading from years of negligence.

Yes Quebec has an abundance of hydro electric power due to the appropriation of land and assets. You make it sound like a utopia when reality is more middle ground.

I mean, what would it be?

"that only a sufficiently educated and credentialled person could possibly overlook."

that's a funny self-own if I've ever read one
