This is classic muddying of a clear cut case for drama only. This was infamous in the UK for the fact that there had been so many warnings about her by senior doctors, which had not been acted on until far far too late

I read the summary in this post, and I've read enough detailed information about this case from British news sources already

If we were to be devils advocates for a second here.. if you knew that the terrorists that you're trying to wipe out would steal any fuel you send in, but everyone keeps telling you to do it anyway, would you send 9000 litres and resupply your adversary or would you send a few hundred litres and record what happens to make a point?

websites that serve users in the EU need to allow you to decline cookies, not just tell you about the fact they use them. this website is actually breaking EU privacy law, it's definitely not what a European user would consider protective

You wouldn't have your sentence increased from a fine to a prison sentence for trying to appeal against it though. Let's not pretend that the legal system in Dubai and UK are similar

So a user issue 2.50 to buy a gold, then the receiver can cash out 1.00. So Reddit aims to make 1.50 for every gold awarded

Absolute scam

and then wait for the baggage at the other end? no thanks! carry on luggage I get to walk straight out no waiting

And in 2024, Spotify will stop paying out songs which get less than 1000 streams in a year. Which means for me, as an artist in the early stages of my career, I am going to get paid nothing. I could get over 1000 streams on all my songs in total, but still get paid nothing. I could get 999 streams on a song one year and 999 streams on it the next year… and still get paid nothing.

As the author states in the previous paragraph, Spotify pays 0.003c per stream. I don't think the author has done the maths. 1000 streams equals 3c. He's complaining over not getting paid 3c as if that will fund his career

I mean that's exactly what the driver would do, I'm not sure why this is controversial

Plenty of places have bunkers, for civilians to hide in during air raids or missile attacks. Switzerland and Finland have bunkers everywhere. That's not the same as a command and control military installation

That's just swapping one problem for another, and I say that as a Linux user

Since his reign began in 2012, Xi Jinping’s endless purges have removed millions of officials — from top-ranked Communist Party “tigers” down to lowly bureaucratic “flies,” to use Xi’s evocative terminology.

Millions of officials? This must be a typo?

Sounds like the want to ensure access to chips for missiles, and don't get cut off like Russia was

Unless I'm reading it incorrectly, the devs changed tact and this was already fixed 2 weeks ago

and the vast majority of Linux Devs will just continue building what they were building before, and still complain how windows users dont migrate to Linux (cough usability cough)

Wait. Your one works fine and sooner rather than later there will be the steam deck 2. Better to upgrade to that!

India should be doing something about this. Why should the rest of the world be the ones to solve everyone else's shit all the time?

Both of you are great examples of why beehaw is thinking about defederating. Please try to be polite, as per the rules of this instance.

I've read a lot of disturbing stuff on the internet but those descriptions of what the monkeys endured made me feel really uncomfortable

Logseq is very very similar to obsidian but is FOSS.

They asked for an app for their phone, you suggested setting up a home server and hosting an application on it, all to just send a notification every 30 mins

That's not particularly helpful

Advertisers have my preferences and buying and watching habits, my DNA is.. my DNA. That's another whole level

The issue here is if you'd need to prove where your data came from. So the default should be public unless you can prove the source of all the training data

Let's be honest though, the Android app for jellyfin is so so buggy. My partner can't even use it because there are certain orders of starting a video, casting, closing the app, reopening to starting subtitles, recasting, just to get it working

We do, for below 16

Arrogantly uninformed. It's an impressive combination

we should really wait until we have more evidence before making such wild and unfounded statements

No wonder companies want to move to a subscription model

The average user wants their computer to just work, they want to open up their new Bluetooth headphones that their son/ grandson bought them and it connects as expected. Your definition of problem and what is solvable is very different to theirs

Try logseq, it's a foss alternative to obsidian

Welcome to Linux, where simultaneously the forum "have you tried Linux?" people claims it works perfectly, and they've never once encountered an issue ever in their lifetime, and the rest of the users struggle with bullshit error after error that somehow miraculously don't occur on the soapboxers' machines

yeah this was me. swapped to Mac. Couldn't bring myself to sign up to all the debugging that would go into having a Linux based laptop. I left windows due to the overhead of disabling the bloatware, popups and general bullshit. I didn't want to swap that for other ongoing issues. Just give me something that works. It's an OS, not a hobby project
