Linux being a kernel is hardly relevant though. The law lies the responsibility at the “operating system providers”, looking at the definition in the article that would be the developers/organisation behind the individual distributions. Politicians don’t care if each distro comes up with their own solution or gets built-in to the kernel.

But personally I think they all just give this law the finger, put a ‘not for use in California’ in their licenses and forget about this brainfart.

That’s from IV, and you’re almost correct, it’s “the price of freedom” instead of “peace”. But very memorable indeed!

Two actually, III and IV.

I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.

Less if you were sensible and included an error correction scheme to combat the unreadable sectors that were bound to pop up after a while. I can be quite nostalgic, but if there is one thing I don’t miss it’s the ‘reliability’ of floppies.

Skewed telemetry probably, as most users that are aware you can move the taskbar are also aware you can just disable the phone home crap and will therefore not show up in the statistics.

Here it’s 112, my first time was when I was stranded on the emergency lane of the highway. I was driving a van and parts of one of my tires were strewn across the right lane.

In my country you’re supposed to call the emergency number when your car breaks down on the highway, even when you’ve made it to the emergency lane. You’ll be towed to the nearest safe place by a salvage company, at no expense. Of course, how you get underway again from that point is your own problem.

At any rate, before you get towed they’ll usually display either a big red cross (to indicate a closed lane) or a reduced maximum speed on the matrix signs (present every few kilometres on most highways) for the adjacent lane to make the situation a bit safer.

In my case they closed the right lane to prevent cars hitting the debris of my tire and to make sure that the government agency in charge could clean up the mess. It was unfortunate to see how many people just ignore the red crosses.

I also learned about rethreaded tires that day. We bought that van not too long ago, the tire profile looked as if they were quite new and should have lasted for thousands of kilometres at least. But apparently revising tires by stripping of the old threading and basically glueing on a new one is a thing. In our case the thread came off suddenly. So screw that shit, only new tires for me.

It’s almost as if he is just a Trump lackey without the slightest idea of what he’s talking about…

I do wonder how many hours you need to microwave yourself to get a crispy, dried out face like that by the way.

If they are using their ISP’s DNS server they probably don’t even need to use DoH or DoT, just switching to a independent DNS server is often enough. But yeah, otherwise using an encrypted DNS connection should also fix this.

Can you tell that to my pair of AirPods Pros? The amount of times only one of the in-ears decides to connect to my phone or laptop is just plain infuriating. All those devices support Bluetooth 5.0, but reliable is not the word I’d use to describe my experience.

Same for stuff like file transfers between my phone and laptop, I’m sick of that generic “file transfer failed” message without any helpful hint as to what went wrong this time. A cable is reliable, Bluetooth is definitely not in my personal experience. Sorry.

But they are still using Bluetooth right? That’s a hard nope, it must be my personal dark aura or something, but Bluetooth devices just refuse to work reliably for me. I just don’t want to deal with that anymore.

I really miss the good old jack port, not only does it just work, you can both charge your phone and listen to something at the same time as I do often in the evening. Having the charging port double as the headphone connector is such a step backwards.

Ah, sounds like the issue is not DoH in that case, that would be impossible for Reddit to detect if you are using a browser. I suspect a domain gets blocked in one of your proxies, or Reddit returns alternative records to recursors they know are being used for privacy reasons.

Can you enlighten me how that would work, as that makes no sense to me from a technical standpoint?

I fail to see how Reddit would be able to know how you are communicating with a random recursive resolver on the internet. Or are you running your own recursor and trying to use DoH to access their authoritative servers?

Edit: I hope I don’t come across as harsh, it’s meant as a genuine question and not to doubt your story. 🙂

Don’t know who he is supposed to be, but if you think your balls are big enough that you feel the need to use them as your online handle: please get the boys checked for testicular cancer.

The solution is obviously that the bikers are to join the daily traffic jam in a car, instead of entirely skipping the queue like selfish bastards.

/s, for the satire-impaired.

Chicken bathed in chlorine, meat filled to the brink with antibiotics and now also crops containing waste from the petrochemical industry? Glad to know what’s on the average plate in Texas, don’t mind me enjoying a lab-grown piece of meat for which every component has been accounted for.

That’s why he’s a cracked developer. Already broken under the heel of his capitalist overlord.

My rats were pretty intelligent and they didn’t shit where they ate or slept. And they weren’t in the Epstein files. So this comparison doesn’t fly at all.

On the bright side, you’ve now got squeaky clean disk space to fill with new projects!
