  1. Re:MATE or Cinnamon on One Week With GNOME 3 Classic · · Score: 2

    I was forced to move to Cinnamon when the latest regressions to nautilus landed.
    It's impressive how they were able to fuck up such a good application, and how nemo is largely superior to nautilus from GNOME 3.6 and 3.8 in every way.

    You can't always prove something that is true.

    Force people to use their search tools rather than your own?

  4. Parrot automatic correction on Quadcopter Guided By Thought — Accurately · · Score: 1

    As can be seen, the drone used is a Parrot.
    The Parrot has pretty insane automatic correction so that it always stays stable and make smooth turns.

    Try moving like that while controlling the drone directly.

  5. Re:Bitcoin mining? Is anyone still trying that? on European HbbTV Smart TV Holes Make Sets Hackable · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What is difficult is to mine bitcoins worth more than the costs of running the machine.
    But these hackers obviously do NOT pay the electricity bills of their victims.

    Why do you care what OS your family uses? Why do you need to "support" it?

    It's a neologism for "made lightweight".

    Yes it is.

    Only the legislative body can change laws.
    I fail to see you're point, you're just spouting nonsense.

    In a country abiding to even a modest subset of human right, there is no need to commit anything illegal to protest. Doing so only weakens your argument.

    What's your point?
    When you're in the country, you must comply to its laws, regardless of whether you agree with them or if they violate some human rights declaration.

    Any protest, or even any public demonstration, does bring trouble to the normal society order.
    That's why you need to file for a permit before doing one.

  13. Re:German guy took part in the protest? on Turkish PM: "To Me, Social Media Is the Worst Menace To Society." · · Score: 1

    Most countries have laws that require the organizers of any kind of demonstration to be resident in the district where they file the protestation permit.

  14. Re:German guy took part in the protest? on Turkish PM: "To Me, Social Media Is the Worst Menace To Society." · · Score: 1

    The declaration of human rights is very abstract. In practice the laws implementing them have significant restrictions.

  15. Re:German guy took part in the protest? on Turkish PM: "To Me, Social Media Is the Worst Menace To Society." · · Score: 1

    It's a different article than free speech, and the declaration of universal rights is not law.

  18. Re:German guy took part in the protest? on Turkish PM: "To Me, Social Media Is the Worst Menace To Society." · · Score: 1

    As I already said several times in this thread, the right to protest/manifest and the right of free speech are different things. A protestation disrupts public order, and may prevent people from going to work or get access to some facilities.

  19. Re:German guy took part in the protest? on Turkish PM: "To Me, Social Media Is the Worst Menace To Society." · · Score: 1

    If it doesn't disrupt public order then it's not a process. The whole point of protesting is to force people to listen and force the government to negociate.

  20. Re:German guy took part in the protest? on Turkish PM: "To Me, Social Media Is the Worst Menace To Society." · · Score: 1

    Yes, definitely.
    By protest here, we're talking about some public demonstration. Not just saying "I'm against this" to whoever may listen to you.

    Voice an opinion and taking part of a protest are very different things.
    A protest disrupts public order. It is fundamentally different from free speech.

    You have no business invoking rights to demonstrate a protestation in a country whose you're neither a citizen nor a resident.
    That's just stirring trouble.

    Why should I care about sex-slavery in Africa? After all, I don't live in Africa, I'm white and I'm also male. Why should I care about what's happening in Syria? After all, I'm not Islamic and I'm not middle eastern and don't live in Syria. Heck, we can go even further, why should I care about the holocaust? I'm not Jewish, I don't live in Germany. Why should I care about the civil rights movement? I'm not black.

    You can care if you want, just don't go demonstrating it in public and disrupting public order because of it.

    You should not have the right to protest against a government unless you're an eligible voter.

    Maybe centre-right by American standards, but more like borderline far-right by French ones.
