We need to have ownership our own products again. This needs to be enshrined in law.

I don't think that user was personally complaining, more pointing out that LW might be facing it's first crisis of resources. Good sys-ops people don't come cheap, and bad one often can do far more harm than help.

It's tricky trying to handle something like this when LW is foundationally not an enterprise or anything close to a business.

Why make money if you can make MORE money?

This one?

So here is the rub. Sit down with a true Trumper sometime, and show them these sorts of quotes. They ARE voting for this. They DO support this. They think this is the right and just thing to do.

This can be handled a few different ways.

  • You can boot from a HDD and then just not ever write data back to it. This would be the most trivial solution, and it's something people do with their Pi's a lot to avoid SD card failure.
  • You could network boot, pull the OS from the network at startup. Fun fact, this is how some rockets fly! No onboard persistent storage needed. Everything boots into and runs from ram the whole 10 ish minutes of operation.
  • You COULD do a ROM as you suggested, but that's a LOT of ROM. Seems odd to do imho.

I suspect their issue is more the exploitation of children, not them carrying a beer.

No, it was a cult.

That and insane production budgets. A lot of stream services are dumping hundreds of millions into shows that... Really didn't need that?

Aye, but forcing them to put a clear "We support this until this date" label will make that a mandated part of their marketed.

That or, you know, force companies to release server software when they sunset support for their product. That would also be nice.

Cool claim. Let’s see it pass muster and gain strong evidence of effectively.

I cannot fathom the relief this person must have once he was in custody. One trigger happy soldier and you are over. Good on those follow sensible rules of engagement here.

Females no longer exist? I don't follow the joke stranger...

When the US pulled out the Taliban didn't have to fight to take control. The population was ready and willing to put them back into power.

This was the choice the country made. It's not our place to step into their internal politics at this point. The US did that for years and they decided very clearly they didn't want that.

Mass has really been doing well for laws in the last few years it seems.

You sound like a government plant stranger. I’m going to listen to myself, not your lunacy.

Why would it matter? No judge has a spine to throw the book at this guy. He gets a totally different court system than the rest of us.

Surly trump will do better, right guys?

In short, yes, but only before addiction.

I'll believe it when I see it. Our courts have a way of handling some people differently, and Trump is already getting treatment you or I would never dream of getting.

Ask Texas how that’s goin.

No, everything I learned came from private enterprise.

Google is trying to add code to it's chromium software that would functionally allow for DRM between you and a website. It would be a huge blow to your ability to control ads and what software runs on your PC when you connect to a site.

For anyone following along, this is 100% what propaganda tries to do. Tells you not to trust anyone but them, tells you everyone but them lies. This is classic state actor behavior.

People are willing to contribute to well run services. Make the contributions manageable for users and they will happy chip in a few dollars here and there.

Yes. They feel it is right in general. Some have some more concrete reasons, but most just seem to feel that way.

But that isn’t the presidents choice.

Citation?

I think he stopped because the show gave us his ending and he knows everyone hates it.

People in this thread seem to think snowboarding is this nice gentle activity where you never slam down into some hard surface ever.

LOTS of people don't bring their phones when they hit the slopes. They know what they are in for, and aren't stupid enough to break their $800+ phone on the off chance the mountain fucks up an extremely basic process.

What’s the long term plan for server costs? This thing isn’t free

Sorry, I'm lost. Could you spell it out more? /s

Seriously though, well called out stranger.

Not surprised at all

These people are trying to help, snark makes it sound like you want to troll, not be helped…

Given we have elected officials that are literally freezing while talking to reporters and yet would probably still win election after election? I don't think the public cares if they are competent. They just care that their party symbol is next to their name so they vote for them.

Right? Let’s see this pass rigorous muster first.

Why, too American for ya?

Lol, it’s more to show a point. Most engineers and programmers are VERY hard to advertise to. We do to much research, so it’s often an ignored group in marketing. Easier to go after other demographics.

Until he’s convicted, there’s no actual proof he did any of that.

No, it's just that he isn't legally guilty of the crime. Besides, this is a states right issue. They are welcome to select their electoral votes as they deam good and just.
