Don’t worry. It won’t be long before possession of an unregistered 3D printer becomes a crime, too.

Very good point. Planting evidence of a crime is itself a crime. /joke

British spelling.

- Comment on Stereotypes 5 weeks ago:
Idk its weird though because every single thing we do to our outward appearance is for the attention of others around us whether sexually socially or whatever.
This is where the disconnect is for you.
People can want to alter their appearance for their own reasons that have nothing to do with socialization. Sometimes it’s just because they want to treat themselves, try something new, or just feel good about how they look.

set -uis your friend. Unless you’re running that command interactively, in which case it just exits the shell without giving any warning at all. Oh, the joys of shells written to be compatible with scripts created 20 years ago… - Comment on In a hearing on data centers, a resident of Tyrone Township, Michigan, asked a simple question: Have you signed a non-disclosure agreement? Officials refused to answer 1 month ago:
If you can’t afford the time or money to defend yourself from a SLAPP lawsuit, the legality doesn’t matter much anymore. It is unfortunately in most peoples best financial interests to not personally test the legality of unenforceable BS.

- Comment on GTA 6 will cost £70 - and physical edition will not contain a disc 1 month ago:
or buy it used
I’m not sure how you plan on doing that with the “physical edition” being a digital download code in a box. And, that’s probably the point—to drive more sales by eliminating the used game market.

AI tends to write correct English, so you could try adding typos, grammatical mistakes, incorrect punctuation, wrong capitalization, etc. /joke

It has an unsubscribe link at the bottom and zero GitHub branding. This is just some enterprising AI douche scraping emails from commit authorship and adding them to a mailing list.

I said “may or may not”. I figured one of yall would answer with the outcome of the allegations as a comment for anyone who wanted to find out.

He may or may not have used a shock collar on his dog while livestreaming. I didn’t care about him enough to follow the story to its conclusion, but some people identified the collar as a shock collar while he claimed he removed the metal probes.

They also need red vision cones to show where the un-stealth area is.

Whoever thought of the meme probably doesn’t work in tech. A brand-new AI datacenter is not going to be left unguarded. Doubly so if there’s government data being stored within it.

- Comment on It's already running 4 months ago:
It’s not. They both expose a POSIX API and userspace, but the underlying architecture is very different. macOS is in part based on the Mach microkernel, and creating a process has a bunch of work related to that.
Even ignoring that difference, macOS has built-in signature checking that suspends a newly-started process the first time its executable is seen.

Good luck convincing tankies with that definition. They will just claim the definition doesn’t count because “the UN is a Western imperialist facade pushing US propaganda.” The same goes for any source that doesn’t agree with their ideals, for that matter.

- Comment on How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy? 4 months ago:
Most people with that little money aren’t going to going out of their way and assume the risk of directly investing in new ventures. They’re going to put it in some managed or unmanaged fund, and that money is going to be invested in something safe and presumably profitable, like a megacorp that’s too big to fail.
