We raise our CUPS to your pun.

Yes, all of them.

In the long run, shit like this is theft from the Public Domain.

Well, that’s disappointing.

Your post made me wonder, so I checked and of course it exists. Behold, a text-mode Lemmy client: Neon Modem Overdrive

In other words, Japan apparently hates property rights.

Look, if the choice is “use Ubuntu because it’s easy and officially supported by Steam” or "give up and stuck with Windows (or even worse, a console) would you really suggest the latter?

Okay, look, I admit it: I own a welder, but I’m not a welder. My experience shopping for welding masks is limited to places like Harbor Freight and Amazon.com, and the notion of searching for “welding respirator” or “welding PAPR” instead of “welding mask” never crossed my mind until reading this thread.

“By loading this comment, you agree to give @grue@lemmy.world one million US dollars, payable in full within one week.”

See? Anybody can make up unconscionable bullshit. The extent to which Sony’s terms are enforced is only a measure of how many corrupt judges need to be gotten rid of.

Now, pay up!

I didn’t know this was something I agreed to when I bought my console.

That’s 'cause it wasn’t! Sony is “exceeding authorized access” – a felony under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act – but won’t be prosecuted for $ome rea$on.

Anything including Ubuntu will be perfectly fine. Canonical’s shenanigans that us Free Software people like to bitch about are entirely irrelevant to new Linux users.

I have literally never seen a welding mask with either a built-in respirator or enough room in front of the mouth/nose to accommodate a separate one. Do such things even exist?

Why are you trying to hijack the thread to make it about your xenophobic hot take on immigration?

Having 500K-1M new people could mean having as many as 500K-1M new construction workers to build more housing, if that’s what the zoning code and the market (etc.) allowed. That that isn’t happening is a failure of those things, not the fault of the immigrants. There is absolutely no reason a properly-functioning society would be unable to keep up with the demand from population increases, and scapegoating immigrants will do absolutely fuck-all to fix any of the real causes of society’s failure to function properly.

If he succeeds in using it as a propaganda platform to force the US into a fascist dictatorship, he will have gotten his money’s worth.

Need more information: Why do you want all laptops? Why do you think you need multiple computers at all?

You know what’s really fucked up? The concept of “corporate personhood” that Citizens United depends upon was invented wholesale by a goddamn clerk! The Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co. decision itself didn’t actually address the issue; the clerk just wrote a headnote “assuming” that the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment applied to corporations for ~reasons~ and subsequent courts treated as if it were gospel.

The annoying thing is that they held us hostage for our free labor, but the results are proprietary for Google’s benefit only.

That training data ought to be forced to be made freely available to the public, since we’re the ones who actually created it.

We’re talking about intentional acts of evil here, not just disregard for morality.

“Genera” is a plural form of “genus” (i.e. also “type,” but in the fancy scientific sense used in taxonomy).

Not only did I haul drywall home in a minivan, I even had the foresight to buy a couple of 2x4s to act as rails to slide it on so the edges wouldn’t get chewed up by the rounded rear hatch opening.
