I did buy hl2 on disc and was furious when I realised I HAD to create an online account to play the game that I had physical discs for.

It certainly has the Direct Rendering Manager, which has no relation to any content control mechanism.

A bit of searching suggests this might be Total Eclipse by John Brunner.
The concept sounds interesting, I might give it a read.

I enjoyed it because I love that movie, so I valued the chance to see it on the big screen again.

It’s not worth it just to see the extra scenes, and no, there’s no more introduction of Doom than there was in the end of The Fantastic Four.

We’re not discussing exploitative porn or handing out guns and drugs here, this is a platform for distributing art.
I don’t want the Australian Government censoring things, or deciding who can and cannot view art and in what circumstances.
I want them making guidelines about labelling, so that citizens can make informed decisions about what they and their children view.

Discussing the particular method that Valve should implement this farce is talking past the point as far as I’m concerned.

because I actually think they’re being intentionally belligerent

Yeah, this screams malicious compliance.
They’re waiting to see if the Australian government will blink.

I can confidently say that the Jellyfin team intend to raise the price 10x the previous price.

From the blog post I have added to the original post:

The most visible change in this release is the one in its name: we are dropping the major version “10” from our naming scheme. What would have been 10.12.0 is simply 12.0, and the server reports its version as 12.0.0. 10.11.x was the last release branch to use the old scheme.

Yeah, it’s got Trump “a lot of people are saying” vibes.

What messaging service works without a data connection?

mobile data connection.

As opposed to wifi or the pigeons you linked.

The recent attacks have been against the AUR.
Which pacman doesn’t reference.

In terms of sneaking in malicious code, that’s possible in the official repos of all operating systems, including the windows store.

The actual meme speaks more to the fact that windows update is enforced unless you jump through enormous flaming hoops, and it will measurably make your already running system worse as it forces the installation of things the user wouldn’t want (ie copilot) or removes functionality they do (classic control panel).

But you know… I use Arch btw.

Don’t forget to stay active, contacting your reps and what not.

I am.

I’ve already had to justify each purchase to the registrar individually, just like everyone else with guns in Australia.

Placing an arbitrary limit on the purchase of something you have to individually justify is silly.

Just like a golfer doesn’t use a wood when they’re on the green in golf, and “mum” doesn’t use a semi trailer to drop the kids to school; a hunter doesn’t use an air rifle to hunt foxes.

Or at least, I don’t.

If I wanted an air rifle capable of humanely dispatching a fox, I’d need to apply for a permit to acquire this snowflake 50cal single-shot-with-a-scuba-tank abomination.
And part of that is justifying why one of my existing firearms can’t do the job in question.
And even if that’s approved, I have to consider my storage obligations; because quantities and categories impact your storage requirements.
Which are subject to inspection, failure of which can cost your licence, forfeiture of your firearms and fines.

The /average/ gun owner doesn’t have 6 now, it’s a pain in the ass.

And frankly, none of your business or concern.

Mmm, bait.

I was indeed speaking in generalisations, we could split it even further into hundreds of little sub-groups.
Those who are anti hunting, but pro gun vs those that are pro hunting but anti gun for instance.

The amount of people who are actively pro gun in any form is bigger than the group who are ACTIVELY anti gun.
And both of those together are outnumbered 20:1 by people who either don’t care at all or non active.

this?

the fuck does 1 person need more than 6 guns for?

This is bait.

I know a lawyer who just ordered one.

He’s got disposable income, he wants a decent windows based laptop for his work, he liked the repairability angle.

This isn’t for just tech enthusiasts.

The National Cabinet agreed in principle to the deal, but implementing it requires their individual states to buy in.

I’m surprised the federal government hasn’t completely abandoned this yet.
It’s simply not worth the political capital:
There’s a vocal minority desperate to take away other people’s guns for personal/idea logical reasons.
There’s a slightly larger, but still a minority, desperate to keep their guns (who personally have never done anything wrong).
And an uncaring majority who are being told they will have to pay for it with their taxes.

Who are these people that think that the general user WANTS this.

Gee, I wish I had reduced control over my own system.

This is great.
The unused code is (now) no longer an attack surface.
If Kicinski is wrong, someone needs to take ownership of the module and it gets re-added.
Win-Win.
