The new Opera (v. 33 or dev build 34) is based on Chromium, correct. It is vastly different and, by my guess, so far from the original that it could never be pulled back into the Chromium base. The source if available but it is not free, as in libre, if one wants to distribute it with their proprietary bits (that's my reading of the license). It is not in the repos for any distro that I'm aware of, only the older version exists there. There's no BSD version, as of yet, so that's a bit of a pisser.
I'm an Opera fan since the days when we had to pay for it. At first I didn't like the newer version but it has grown on me. At one point, I'd donated so much to Mozilla that they put my name in the newspaper in a big full page ad, along with a number of other people. Even then, I was still using Opera but I wanted to like Firefox. Gone are the days when Firefox was usable for me. It's unfortunate, really. But, I do enjoy Opera. The ecosystem is huge - you can use any Chrome extension, for example. I find it speedier than most, like they've potentially closed some memory leaks. It's stable as all hell - and this is from someone who actively tries to break stuff.
I use journalctl all the time. I also use systemd-analyze critical-chain too. I kind of, sort of, figured there was, indeed, a way to read these files that folks complain about - I mean, yeah, I do it with journalctl quite frequently. (If I'm not breaking something then I'm not learning anything.) It'd stand to reason that there's a way to make a reader just for these logs (if, for some reason, one can't do it with journalctl, et al).
I should think it has something to do with being done at their behest vs. doing it on your own behalf. One is speech. The other is working for a foreign government. I'm still not sure how I feel about this.
Not only do I know the names of each and every single one of them - I have met each and every single one of them, in person. Of course, it helps living in an unincorporated township in the middle of nowhere. I don't have to know nearly as much information. I do wish there were some way to ensure we had an informed voter while actually not abusing such a system. Alas, I am unable to think of such a thing. Even tests can be made to give prejudicial results with things as simple as verbiage.
Maybe if you had to check off a certain answer that was the platform the candidate was running on? I don't really know. I'm sure they'd find a way to abuse that or just make sure that only a few things were on their signs and were repeated often enough and maybe using mnemonics. That may not help at all. It also doesn't really do anything to help ensure we get higher quality candidates onto the ballots. A good candidate will probably have a more meaningful platform (even if just rhetoric) than will fit comfortably on a bumper sticker.
This cloud thing really isn't new. From a VPS, to email, to simple web hosting - it's in the cloud. The name has just changed. It's like renting time on the mainframe and connecting via a dumb terminal, all over again. Some methods have changed, sure... Essentially? It's much the same. That which is old is new again.
Interestingly enough, I notice the lack of three people who constantly scream about their iDevices and how glorious they are. Ah well... I don't have anything against Apple but I do find some of their believers to be a bit much. I'd think it a bit more honest of them to come in here and accept the music rather than trying to minimize it or ignore it.
Yeah, it has a security issue. So? Everything out there probably does. Give someone incentive and it will be found. Nothing is secure. Blindly following a greedy corporation is just silly.
*sniffles* No, I've never tried the large animal form of Fentanyl. It's even more powerful than the human form. They use it on large animals. I'm too lazy to look that up too.
What? You don't think I'd be ashamed or bothered by something I posted in public, do you Matrix007? I should hope not. If I were ashamed then I'd have not posted it. Sheesh... You're not the most logical of stalkers but, I guess, I'll have to take what I can get. Maybe, just maybe, if I'm really good - I can get a high quality stalker. I'm not sure what I'd do with one but I'd probably feed it and pet it. Or at least keep it amused.
Yes, yes I have used opiates. In fact, I'm doing so right this minute. Unfortunately, I'm back on the not so good stuff. I'm back on Suboxone. It keeps the cravings down but it's not the same. I truly have a fixation with the needle and with the whole process. It's a tough battle for me to fight and I do regret getting here but, well, there it is. That you're keeping track is a good motivation for me to keep using the Suboxone and avoid shooting up the Fentanyl. I've only been back on the subs for a little while but - if you want, I'll make sure to let you know when that changes. You, you can be a big help in my attempts to avoid the rig. Thanks!
See, you thought you had no value in life. Well, you do to me Matrix. Anyhow, during withdrawals I'd imagine I'm pretty easy to get along with then, too. I'm mostly sick and puking and blowing liquid out my ass. It's not pretty and I doubt there's much in the way of difficulty that I could offer.
Anyhow, nope... Not ashamed, not bothered, and certainly not going to hide. I own my deeds, for better or worse. I'm just, kind of, proud that I've managed to attract a stalker. I've never had one, until you. I just want you to know, I appreciate your efforts and that I am grateful you're keeping track of me. If you need any more information, just ask.
Absolutely, I was just making sure that we know that, at least nominally, humans are included in corporations - a corporation can not be a the individual that is the member. So Corporation A (while owning Corp B) can't have a president of Corp B be Corp A. Corp B must have a human in those three places. At least nominally. They must also be alive and breathing. At least for those three positions.:D
I think that "shut up" would have bothered me, internally at least. I don't mind correction (in fact, I welcome it) but being silenced is a problem. I suspect our behavior is different, however. You mention that you speak too much. I tend to shut up and listen before being told to do so. So, to me, it probably would have had to have been an entirely different situation? I guess...
My favorite, and probably not verbatim, "Code comments go in the code, not on coffee soaked index cards, asshole." It did take me a little to shut up and listen. My code base was my baby. My server room, in all its mayhem, was my mad science lab. Eventually, I was busy enough to no longer have the time to do those things on my own. I hired people that seemed to be the best (that I could find).
With enough insight and prompting, I learned that I'd hired them to do things I could not and that they were far better and more efficient than I could ever be. It was hard but I accepted that my code needed to be rewritten - sure, they kept some of it but the whole thing was so much better (and vastly easier to read and maintain) when they were done. I accepted that I didn't need to know the admin passwords and be involved in every detail in the server room.
It was like watching your kid go off to school on their very first day. Awesome but nerve wracking. I could still guide but I did not micromanage. It was tempting to do so and, indeed, I sort of tried at first. Then, well, I'd hired professionals. Get the hell out of the way, shut the hell up, and give them the tools they ask for so that they can do the job.
I don't mind being told I'm wrong - when I'm wrong. I don't even mind it being gruffly done. The way I look at it, it's done because they care enough to ensure it is done properly, otherwise they'd just let me keep going in the wrong direction. I'm amicable enough but that doesn't mean others have to be and, frankly, I'm kind of similar in that I do not like telling someone the same thing twice. I just don't get gruff, I get quiet and slow and enunciate clearly...
Meh... Ask the Democrats? They started the "Free Speech Zones" back in the 1980s. And no, before you ask, I'm actually further to the left of any of the elected Democrats. Well, except maybe Bernie.
An interesting note... In an earlier thread, I saw that APK quoted your signature. I do believe that signatures are not visible unless the user is logged in. APK has stated, numerous times, that they have no account. I'm unsure of what to make of it but I did find it amusing though I probably should have commented in that thread. Alas, I'm too lazy... Well, technically, it didn't cross my mind.
As stated, I have no idea what to make of it. I just noticed the comment that quoted your signature. Personally, I don't mind 'em but that's just me. I'm pretty easy to get along with, most of the time.;-)
I've done some looking now. It doesn't appear that this is anything that can be revoked - they simply need to register. There's no outright fee associated with it, either. At least not from what Google tells me. Unfortunately, I'm not able to find much on this. It doesn't look like it's subject to revocation nor does it incur any additional fees. If I'm mistaken then I welcome correction but that's what some basic skimming has told me. In addition, there's not a bunch of information on this unless I'm missing something. I probably am.
This is not a statement about the value or relevance of the regulations. This is just an observation of, seemingly, what they are. At first blush, I'm inclined to dislike it on general principle. I've yet to give it enough thought or enough time to actually give a qualified opinion.
Hmm... Corporations must have at least three member. They are a President, a Vice President, and a Treasurer. They are required for all forms of corporation (AFAIK), in the United States. Even wholly owned subsidiaries must have those at bare minimum. Not that that negates anything, I just figured that I'd clear that up.
Hmm... You don't actually know any Libertarians, do you? You probably don't know what one is or what the word means... How about you tell me what you think it means to be a Libertarian, why that's bad, and what you think is better. Then, if you want, you can ask me - and I will take the time to answer.
Seriously, I'll answer any question (within reason) as best as I can and give you the opportunity to actually know what you speak of when you approach the subject in the future.
Unless the broadcasters are cooperative, how do you prove they're doing it out of some sort of order from the Chinese government or because of their own, personal, beliefs? It seems like it CAN be too difficult to determine, accurately, and thus is rife for abuse - though I've absolutely no idea about case law, precedent, or of any other group doing this except for a case during WWII (the name is forgotten) where they shut the person down claiming that they were aiding and abetting the enemy - if I recall correctly. I also think that was print media? It's been a blurb on a couple of documentaries.
I don't see any really easily able to be digested information on this by way of Google. Perhaps my search queries are too broad or too limited, or simply incorrect. This is curious...
A buddy and I were going to go to one of their rallies. We were too drunk to drive and unable to actually figure out how to make the pointy hats with sheets - and his girlfriend, at the time, was not impressed with what we did to the linen. It is at this point that I should also share that I'm mixed, racially, and that one of those mixes is black and my friend, whom I was in the Corps with, was so black his nickname was "The Grape Ape" 'cause he was almost purple black - from the Dominican Republic by heritage. We were late to our Klan meeting.
This is probably for the best. We were in Virginia at the time. We'd probably have been lynched or at least had a good brawl on our hands.
Y'know... I'm partially black. I can't speak for everyone. I am mature enough to say this, there are certain times - like with references to the name itself, where saying "nigger" is okay. Well, at least I don't mind. I don't really mind any usage but typing "the N word" just seems a bit silly. I don't have a whole lot of black left in me (GNAA jokes notwithstanding) so maybe my opinion should only amount to that same amount. However, I thought I'd share.

The new Opera (v. 33 or dev build 34) is based on Chromium, correct. It is vastly different and, by my guess, so far from the original that it could never be pulled back into the Chromium base. The source if available but it is not free, as in libre, if one wants to distribute it with their proprietary bits (that's my reading of the license). It is not in the repos for any distro that I'm aware of, only the older version exists there. There's no BSD version, as of yet, so that's a bit of a pisser.
I'm an Opera fan since the days when we had to pay for it. At first I didn't like the newer version but it has grown on me. At one point, I'd donated so much to Mozilla that they put my name in the newspaper in a big full page ad, along with a number of other people. Even then, I was still using Opera but I wanted to like Firefox. Gone are the days when Firefox was usable for me. It's unfortunate, really. But, I do enjoy Opera. The ecosystem is huge - you can use any Chrome extension, for example. I find it speedier than most, like they've potentially closed some memory leaks. It's stable as all hell - and this is from someone who actively tries to break stuff.
Just load the unpacked Opera or Chrome/Chromium extensions of your choice. The extensions that I've tried have all worked.
I use journalctl all the time. I also use systemd-analyze critical-chain too.

VMs aren't really all that new. They're just more popular. Yes, it's speedier. Most everything is. Not much squinting required, I don't think.
It's never a democracy unless it is in your favor. /s
