Oh sweet they finally need someone who can put up a slightly skew shelf while only injuring one finger!

And if Apple is preventing other competing proprietary systems from working on their platform, do you agree that they should allow those systems to work on their platform?

Apple’s versions aren’t really any better than competing systems (some of which are open) in my experience. They’re just better than the other systems they allow to operate on their devices, which is a way of using their large market share to prevent competition. Apple have used “but muh security!” as a response to letting competing services onto iOS, so the EU are giving them the other option - open up your own standard so others can use it.

That’s avoiding the question. It also ignores the fact that there are already multiple competing implementations that are also better than standard Bluetooth file sharing, but that Apple’s walled Garden prevents several of them from being usable on Apple’s devices, so if you’re taking that approach then you’re trading off one method of Apple being anticompetitive for another.

If the fuel for your car were specifically tied to the manufacturer, would that increase or decrease competition?

Most kernel level drivers are modules (though they don’t have to be compiled that way), but many modules are things other than drivers.

But also, fundamentally… Those modules are the device drivers, regardless of whether they’re separable from the kernel. That’s part of why they’re organised under the drivers directory in the kernel source tree.

Yes. An act intended to terrorise only trans people of Pacific Islander ancestry is still an act of terrorism.

What’s not clear to me is who this is intended to terrorise.

Here’s one example

What do you define as a “decent” WAN connection?

As someone with a telecommunications background who’s taken apart some cheap routers that look like that: the only caveat I’ll add is that the antennas are only useful if they’re actually connected to anything. From a decently trustworthy brand you’re probably fine, but I’ve seen a few where only one or two of the antenna couplings were connected to anything internally.

Nuclear bunkers are trendy amongst certain groups of very wealthy folks. It’s not about actually being protected, it’s about keeping up with the Joneses.

Dude borrowed my mug and still hasn’t returned it.

More likely to get pulled over, but less likely to get tazed.

Fully agree! But let’s not change them in a direction that also has known safety hazards.

There’s a pretty major difference between a moral panic and pointing out that something is going to decrease safety. Most notably, those moral panics are often opposed to things that actually do make kids safer.

If it runs fast enough, it can be correct every minute.

Good news for you: that’s what he’s likely planning (if he implements the 2022 Senate bill as-is).

Bad news for kids: that means they have to walk to school in the dark with sleep-deprived people operating heavy machinery in their vicinity for a bigger portion of the year.

Sure, but we should do that independent of this. Schools need to start at least an hour later on standard time. On DST they need to start two hours later at least.

How about this compromise: we go onto permanent DST, but then we make everything one hour later.
