I guess they didn't see John Oliver's episode about this.

You could say that about everything. If you would account for all actual cost no one would fly, eat steaks, own 2 TVs or change phones every 2 years either. We would buy things that last 10-20 years and replace them only when they are broken. As we used to...

I'm a 40 year old man.

In 10 years: congratulations, you won. Here's 5% of the profits we made on this which after the lawyer's fees comes down to... $5 each. Enjoy.

I didn't have internet until I was able to take responsibility for what I do with it. Not because my parents were so smart but because it simply wasn't available where I lived. The only thing that affected me negatively for life was religion and I totally believe my parents are responsible, not the bible.

No, one of the theories is actually that early homo sapiens groups were mostly closely related and interbred often. That's what have them advantage over other species. We can see evidence of that in the DNA. Men fighting men came later, probably with first settlements and dependence on local resources.

The summary is twice as long as the article. Shit algo.

Expert? He says that those are 'things that go against future high-speed rail'. There's no future high-speed rail in USA. Not unless he's talking about year 5000. Stopping investment because it goes against projects that USA is simply unable to build doesn't make much sense.

I don't think this will turn the heat down. I will just stop turning it up.

In what world anyone would think that CP implies consent? I mean, the word 'child' is right there. Do you think that the term 'child soldiers' implies consent? I don't have anything against the term CSAM but if it was created because of doubts around consent it was a silly reason to create it.

Wrong.

Lots of tools in Linux have GUI. I can configure my WM (cinnamon), browser, terminal emulator, music player, communicators, email client, network and many more using a GUI.

What I can't configure using GUI are the truly powerful tools: awesome wm, nvim, ranger, kitty. Why? Because you can extend them by writing custom code (mainly in lua). Why would you build GUI for writing lua code in every tool? Doesn't make sense.

It's actually pretty big problem in Spain. I have to keep blocking spam numbers. I think it's the same in Poland. EU is not regulating this, it's up to individual governments and some are not handling it well.
