Any media who actually do fact check and follow a journalistic ethic is good.

BBC became controversial because it did not call the Gaza genocide what it is, but its etics guidline is not to judge and only report what it can verify (and clearly say when it cannot). So if I strongly disagree with them, at least I can understand why.

RT, on the other hand, doesn't bother with all that ethics. If that's what Russia want you to believe, it represents it to its viewer as facts.

    Deleting by "error" the windows partition, with of course no time to reinstall until at least a month.

    By the time I came back to "reinstall", he told me "No need, I got used to it." .😆

    Note : he had all his files on a NAS, so nothing of value was lost

    Too late, changed all my family's computers to Linux. Even my 70 years old dad, who learned to use computers with Windows 95, prefer it to Windows now 😆.

    My methods may have been a bit underhanded, but it worked flawlessly 😆

    I think we mostly agree on that.

    Idealy feature or idea shouldn't be copyrightable, but to acheive that we have to find ways to make sure those who work on those new featurea and idea can live decently.

    If you work for years on something new, to see it immediately copied by someone who drown your product with cheaper copies, that'd kinda be disheartening for anyone.

    What I think would be ideal would be a standard license fee. One cannot prevent other from copying that idea, but one has to pay a reasonable sum to the owner of the idea until the R&D costs are paid (maybe a bit more so it can grow and invest in costlier invention), after which it becomes public domain.

    In all cases, credits are to be given to the inventor, a way or another.

    I think the question can be summarized as "do companies have an obligation of mean or an obligation of result in searching for similar code."

    I unless you have a search engine that can search all code across all repository, public or not, it is pretty hard to ask for an obligation of result.

    Moreover, in many countries you cannot copyright the code itself, but you can copyright complete algorithm (RSA would be a good example, but not the code implementation itself), or a specific feature (minigames during loading time).
    Note that I do not say itis right to do so, I'm all for opensource softwares, but I take into account that some people make a living from their inventions, so I'm generally in favor of limited copyright protection (in terms of both duration and scope).

    An invention property, a software engineer code, or anything like that, should be shared by both the inventor (for inventing it in the firstplace), and the one financing it (for paying for it), at least until it pays back the money invested.

    Yeah, I can tell that since I do tests for Amazon (Amazon Vine).

    There is more and more camera being put to test, ranging for cheap bellow €100 ones to miniaturized keyring sized ones (with tiny screens).
    I tested some of them (and have another one coming next week), the quality of the pictures are good, but the build quality of sub-100 ones are kinda bad (cheap plastics, no optic zoom, no hardpoints for better lenses, sd cards smaller than their advertised size)

    I've tried it for years, because I'd really like to have OpenSUSE.
    I followed the wikis, how-tos and all kind of tutorials, none of them managed to make it usable without root password.
    Heck, I even had my own custom image for a time, with those custom configuration backed in, but best I was able to do is remove about 50% of root password prompt. Better than nothing, but not enough to do the switch.

    Hi there.

    You probably expect some sort of brigading of some sort, or some ironic post to spite you or your values, but this is not. I don't share the provocations and general negativity that this new instance seems to have attracted.

    I, for change, welcome you to the fediverse, in hope, maybe naive, that sharing a common ground would allow both of our community nembers to get out of our respective echo chambers and try to find our common values and get a better understanding of each other, rather than locking ourselves into our dogmas and differences.

    Unfortunately, not everyone will share this goodwill, especially on a world as fractured as our is now, so I'll add a "good luck" handling all the stuff that are unfortunately coming your way, and hope you will not take it too badly.

    We, on the left, have our share of tankies and idiots, and that's not going to change any time soon, but at least there are others that want to mend that broken world, even if it takes time.

    Be well, stay kind, and good luck

    A (French) leftist.

    Hi friends,

    There was many threads lately on that topic, and despite attempts at making all those threads follow the community rules, looks like it will be better to make a megathread in order to avoid drowning other topics under the constant updates about this.

    You find bellow multiple sections, containing as much info as possible on every aspect of this topic, including the latest news (as well as older ones), and how to participate in fighting it (if you wish to).

    The moderation, even if we do have our own personal opinion on the topic, will try to stay as neutral as possible, which mean all opinion (for or against) are welcome, as long as it respect the rules, especially rule 2.

    As a special exception to rule 4, memes are welcome in the comment section, as I saw some good ones in various other topics, as soon as they respect rule 2.
