Where is the technology? Is it because they used a computer?

French guy here: I went to court once because the cop lied and needed tickets for his quota. I had all the proofs. The judge basically told me “I don’t give a fuck, you pay.” It’s useless.

best_username_ever ,

A strange source has found a few shitty generated memes. That’s not journalism at all.

best_username_ever ,

What’s a cager? I can’t give up my car because I can’t bike to work, buses go way too fast on the highway which is dangerous and illegal, and I don’t earn enough to buy an EV or to relocate near my job.

You must understand that poor people can’t live in the EV utopia right now. Car makers will have to sell small and cheap EVs.

best_username_ever , (edited )

My car cost 10k€, the equivalent EV is 20k€. Why don’t I buy more EVs? That’s a mystery, let’s call McKinsey to understand why.

Also let’s double the price of more affordable foreign cars to increase the amount of mystery. Sometimes I wonder if governments do this to make fun of us because it’s so stupid.

best_username_ever ,

Movies are shown to the public. It doesn’t mean I can copy them for free.

best_username_ever ,

That’s what I don’t understand. They want me to save the world with an EV, and at the same time make it so expensive I can’t afford it.

best_username_ever ,

So the alternative for millions of people will be universal income if they can’t work anymore. It’s still a good alternative but it won’t sell cars and I’m not sure the economy will be happy about it.

best_username_ever ,

I had a similar experience with boxing. We all suffer together, and anyone who makes an effort deserves to be helped. Strong bros are nice people.

best_username_ever ,

I hope it’s not 200€ but it’s way higher than what I pay for the gas.

best_username_ever ,

Even when I don’t use it? How is it acceptable?

There’s nothing Tanenbaum could do

Tanenbaum doesn’t seem to mind

Today OP was very dumb and showed his ignorance of the concept “I do whatever I fucking want.” Don’t be like OP.

people regretting releasing their work under a permissive license

They’re free to change the licence of future versions. OP also failed at understanding the concept of licences. He’s such a silly moron!

best_username_ever ,

that would limit my own option to make a version of the software and sell it under a more limited license in the future

Nope. As the author you’re free to license your stuff however you want. You can use 10 different licenses for 10 clients if you want. You could write a custom version of your application and give a non-free license to a specific client if you want.

I would ask how it is theft when I’m prevented from buying media from other countries. I can’t buy Romanian movies or Swedish books. It’s illegal for me to give them money. Where is the theft here?

best_username_ever ,

Why what? They don’t want my money, and I can clone it without harming anyone. Is it theft?

best_username_ever ,

I just can’t. They are European countries and when I try to create an account to buy something, I am informed that I can’t create an account from another country (which should be illegal nowadays but they don’t seem to care).

There are laws to allow someone buying Romanian stuff from France, but they don’t care. I know it’s a niche thing, but if they refuse customers, they can’t complain about piracy.

Is someone safe if they report income from illegal means to the IRS?

I have seen multiple times on Lemmy that the IRS wants people to report income from illegal means and that they don’t care to bust someone for it. For example, an illicit drug dealer is expected by the IRS to report their drug sale revenue without having to worry about being caught for drug dealing....

best_username_ever ,

Why would the [government] need to know [whether money has been illegally acquired or not]?

I think you have the answer to your question.

best_username_ever ,

I’m not American though. I didn’t realize that the IRS is not a branch of the government and definitely does not share its data with other people.

best_username_ever ,

IIRC, it’s controlled by the carrier and not encrypted. If that’s the case, it’s bad. We’ve been moving away from carriers and internet providers, and got some privacy back by various means. Why would be roll that back?

Yuzo Koshiro's 'The Story Of Thor/Beyond Oasis' OST Is Being Re-Released On Vinyl | Time Extension (www.timeextension.com)

Wayô Records has announced that it will release Yuzo Koshiro’s phenomenal soundtrack to the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis action RPG The Story of Thor (known as Beyond Oasis in North America) as a limited edition double-LP this September. The music for this soundtrack was recorded directly from a Mega Drive console, following a...

best_username_ever ,

I should be excited about it because it’s an amazing RPG, but what prevents them from selling the FLAC version on Bandcamp? I would buy everything, and instead I’ll get a random rip because vinyl is a stupid medium for this kind of music.

best_username_ever ,

Thanks!

best_username_ever ,

I only used it for 1 week but I remember that it would randomly commit suicide every hour, even without doing anything.

Sakuna on the Nintendo Switch. It was on sale and I wanted to try it for a long time.

I banned my daughter from using the iPhone she bought. It made her a better person | Em Rio (www.theguardian.com)

I think its not just kids anymore, it’s adults too. Everyone is glued to their screens these days. But kids are more vulnerable to influences from “social” media and don’t have any defences to the psychological warfare going on. Of course they feel like shit.

best_username_ever ,

social media

An anonymous forum without any shitty algorithm.

best_username_ever ,

My last brand new Pixel phone had debug strings in the user interface and the UI was not responsive. It’s the daily annoyances and details that made me get an iPhone. Comparisons have been stupid since the beginning of smartphones.

offline on a computer with a MS account

That’s technically impossible because you must create an account… online. Also it’s a Microsoft account which is worse.

best_username_ever ,

How would Apple technically know that nothing is stored? Even if IPs are hidden, the questions and answers are still useful for OpenAI.

Microsoft's new Paint Cocreator requires an NPU — AI-powered feature requires 40 TOPS of performance and a Microsoft account (www.tomshardware.com)

Microsoft quietly added a new AI feature, called Cocreator, into its raster graphics editor included in every version of Windows since 1985. You need a Copilot + PC with an NPU that can deliver 40 TOPS or better to use it. So, you need to shell out at least $1,099 to get one of the new Snapdragon X Windows Copilot+ PCs that...

best_username_ever ,

It definitely is. Microsoft said that open source is bad cancer.

best_username_ever ,

It was about Freemasons I guess. Those guys control the reptilians and the UFOs.

best_username_ever ,

It’s not only Americans though. French car makers also sell big SUVs to everyone because it’s very important to have the biggest car ever when you bring back a small bag of groceries, or when you desperately need to be on top of the world in the traffic jams. I see those morons every day and it saddens me.

best_username_ever ,

Nope, it’s over since the invention of SUVs and leasing cars. Nowadays everyone has a big car or an expensive car.

best_username_ever ,

That’s the surprise. It’s not like it’s written in black and white in their official book.

BREAKING NEWS: EU Commission announces preliminary tariffs up to 38% on Chinese EVs (www.euractiv.com)

The EU will impose additional tariffs of 17.4% to 38.1% on electric cars produced in China, the European Commission announced on Wednesday (12 June), as preliminary results from its anti-subsidy investigation confirmed prices are being distorted by Chinese state support....

best_username_ever ,

BYD+18% or a too expensive European car, I know what I’ll get. Anyway, we don’t have cars fully “made in France” here, car makers should be ashamed of themselves as they mostly rely on those taxes to prevent competition.

best_username_ever ,

schools teach how to use cell phones

If you were serious, your country is in deep shit.

best_username_ever ,

Reading books worked fine for a few thousand years.

best_username_ever ,

What competition? The expensive EVs that people can’t afford?

best_username_ever , (edited )

So 3 times the price of my car, that’s affordable.

(Downvoting facts, classic Reddit Lemmy moment)

best_username_ever ,

11 k€ in France, Toyota. Yes. It would be cheaper if it was a second-hand. I’ll pay it with a credit for 5 years. Buying an EV at 20 k€ or 30 k€ would mean a bigger credit with more interest for more than 10 years, and that would be like playing the lottery, not something that I want to do.

best_username_ever ,

For those who don’t know, “trash vaporwave” is a sub-sub genre made of ASMR sounds of garbage trucks with mallsoft music in the background.

best_username_ever ,

In France only the right and far right advocates for more control and defense. Which country has a center left like that?

best_username_ever ,

You’re right. I’m stupid.

best_username_ever ,

iPhone have content blockers but those are paid applications. Mullvad (the paid VPN) has a custom DNS to filter that kind of shit (ads, trackers, gambling, social media, etc.) and it’s so effective that I can’t read Facebook or Twitter anymore. Or you have custom DNS like quad9.net but I’m not sure if they do block ads.

best_username_ever ,

CMake does that…

best_username_ever ,

nowhere

The French left has been a lot in power since the 80s.

best_username_ever ,

I buy FLAC files on Bandcamp. I have the highest quality at a cheap price, and it hopefully won’t rot if stored properly on my NAS.

best_username_ever ,

Oh god, Windows IoT is the real-time version used for robots in the medical industry or serious stuff. This is overkill.

best_username_ever ,

“Resource forks” IIRC, old stuff. Same for the .DS_Store file.
