Yes. Right now I'm running a Radicale server just to my phone's calendar and contacts local to my LAN with WebDAV. It was a pain in the ass to set up, and I only did it after I couldn't figure out how to just sync over my USB connection using flat files. All this work just to recapture the glory of using my Palm V... actually if the digitizer wasn't broken and I could replace the battery for it I'd probably still use it and keep my phone turned off in my bag all day.
Another example of this is the phrase "SJW". No-one can agree on exactly what it means, which is why it's so successful. It means whoever the reader disagrees with and thinks is an idiot, basically a cheat code to make everyone agree with you.
Well the term derives from "keyboard warrior" so we can narrow it down a little bit. Being the digital-media equivalent of a squeeky wheel, producing a surplus amount of noise, commotion, and drama on-line is certainly a defining factor. So "social justice" just qualifies the particular bent.
Yeah it's called brigading. It's sort of like a forum-raid, except on a site like Reddit which has a common-login between different forums it removes the barrier of account registration for snooping and shit-posting.
It's strange how the internet feels so much smaller as more people get on board. The centralizing tendencies and vertical integration of common logins via social media (as how Microsoft envisioned Passport working) just crowds everyone together and causes this sort of friction.
Yup! I'm with you.:D And the community surrounding it all, which makes it accessible and friendly is just wonderful. Everything is human in Linux land. And once you learn to RTFM first, you are afforded all the support you could ask for.
Why be scared of A.I.s when human brains are already the most complicated thing in the known universe, are impossible to fully understand, and already run everything?
This isn't going to fly well on a Raspberry pi, for instance, it'll just get way behind.
Just make it sound like Majel Barrett-Roddenberry and have it go "Working....kjunk kjunk kjunk kjunk... " while it works through the buffered speech data.
Okay but right now legal reverse engineering is allowed on the grounds of proven clean-room reimplementation, right? Like say with the ReactOS people being unable to accept patches from former Microsoft employees who worked on Windows. So wouldn't freely-available source muddy those waters?
Not everyone needs to be a mechanic, but it's good to know one. When auto manufacturers insist that cars only be serviced by dealer-authorized mechanics, there must be a adequately-sized population of people to rebel. It's kind of like herd immunity. Same thing with Free software. Enough people out there should be programmers, using GNU/Linux, etc. to keep alive the possibility for total computer ownership by end-owners. Knowing how to code, or being aware that it's a popular form of knowledge can deliver peace of mind for people terrified by a world full of digital electronics.
They're introducing the feature to compete with NewPipe which is a GPL app available on F-Droid which offers the same functionality. It's nice when official apps have to play catch-up with Free software.
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm scared of, actually. Socialization of the type you are talking about when you say "what genetic components exist can be overridden" can be undone in one generation.
So pushing to hard to "override" the proclivities of individuals into some cookie-cutter socialized norm is terrifying. A society set up to work that way is not sustainable.
Try exporting your bookmarks from Firefox now... it's a nightmare. I wanted to sync my bookmarks without using their web-service and wasted half of an hour trying to figure out how to do it. Because hey, free-software users don't want features that let's them own their own computer! I'd use Seamonkey tomorrow if it supported the TreeStyleTabs plugin.
Did you even read the summary? "Microsoft is controlling the end-to-end experience and there is nothing wrong with that." What about that don't you understand? There is NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. Nothing.
And the middle ground is something each sane person has to build for themselves. It's not just some obvious half-way point between the arguments and viewpoints from each extreme.
The pendulum has swung a little to fast into the right for many people. The good footing better be able to gain hold and achieve a momentum comparable to what the alt-right has been able to muster over the past 2 years and a bit.
I think optimism rooted and fertilized in realism approaching paranoid pessimistic conservatism is ideal, if hard.
If the passenger who hired the car was liable for accidents then Uber would be stopped dead in its tracks. After all, Uber just made the gun; it's the passenger who pulls the trigger by putting it on the road. Make it so passengers need auto-insurance to hire one.
I have disabled TCP/IP 4 and 6, and Client for Microsoft Networking (or whatever it's called) for my wireless adaptor. All Windows does as host is establish a wifi connection.
Then a Linux client requests an IP address over the bridged virtual network card, and from there I do all my surfing.
The only drawback is that accelerated graphics don't work too well from inside the virtual machine. Otherwise, I never have to worry about the Windows host needing security updates, getting spyware, etc. because it's never on the internet!
When you are being chased by the cops in Grand Theft Auto V the light bar on your controller blinks red and blue. This both illuminates a dark room for an immersive gaming experience and wastes batteries. I like this idea, it implements the ambiance in a smarter way.

I think parent is talking to us, not general home users. They're hosed.
Wow, you even sold the Microsoft cheque for charity. Right on man, class act.
Can't wait until the passwords to the A.I.s get leaked to anonymous image boards. That'll be a fun Dick Clark's hologram New Years.

Human #0000000667 knows what number he really is. He also knows his apartment really isn't on the 14th floor.

It's been 25 years and I still don't have a computer fast enough to let me escape the yeti.
I was watching on YouTube.
Exactly. This single plugin is the best reason to run Firefox besides all the rest. And despite every drawback.
