In Spain the answer is 3. It was a question in the driving test. Idk if it’s a europe-wide rule though.

Safety rules are written in blood. When you spend at least 8hours/day doing the same thing, even if that thing has a very small chance of generating an accident, that’s a lot of time spent doing something risky. Everyone has bad days, any one of those could kill you/severely injure you if you don’t take safety protocols seriously.

That’s easy to explain. EGS managed to make everyone hate them just as it started. How do they expect to be profitable if they piss off the entire market?

There are other stores such as GoG that have actual users.

Good old Russian propaganda.

Can the average north Korean read though?

You don’t need to have wired across the room. You can put them through the wall like every other cable. If the wire tubes are not full, it isn’t very complicated. I put my Ethernet wires in the wall.

Yeah that’s not accurate. They have plenty of oligarchs. Only most of their population is enslaved.

The definition of “operating systems” is not really clear. Some say the operating system is what is called the “kernel”. In the case of Linux operating systems, that kernel is called “Linux”. Most people, however, say that the operating system is the whole thing you install. That is, the kernel + a bunch of other apps.

For example, in windows: notepad, internet explorer (now edge), paint, and all those apps are part of the operating system, that’s what people mean when they say “windows”. It’s the whole package. Other less obvious parts are drivers for example.

In the case of Linux, most distributions ship with a bunch of GNU programs.

“Akschually people” argue that the GNU parts are as important (if not more) as Linux itself for the operating system, so they feel like all the hard work of the GNU developers is shadowed by the people that say “Linux”.

Context: rule 1 is about xenophobia/racism.

Yep. Plenty of china criticism allowed in .ml

PowerShell, because of autocomplete and shift+arrows select.

I doubt Wikimedia streams even 0.1% of what netflix does.

At least reddit didn’t have .ml

I swear people in Lemmy don’t even want to argue, all they want is pure confrontation about every single opinion there is.

The entire content of the wikipedia fits in a pen drive.

Streaming video is a lot more expensive than text and images.

Prices should go down with scale not up though.

There’s initial investment on the initial servers (and the software), and afterwards it should be a linear increase of server costs per user, with some bumps along the way to interconnect those servers.

The cost also scales per content. Because that means more caching servers per user and bigger databases, and licenses.

So this service has less users and more content, it should be way more expensive. The only reason they are cheaper is because they don’t pay those licenses.

Fellow pythonistas, how can I make this code more pythonic?

Criminal would just use the communication method that is encrypted, because it will be known as such. Just like nowadays everyone knows that if you want to pirate you use torrent. And if you don’t wanna be tracked you use VPNs and tor.

This will hurt the dumbest of criminals and all the non-criminals.

Telnet? Banned. You now need the EUs approval to use networking software. The only apps that any EU users can use that uses the network interface are those whitelisted by the EU.

That’s the only way that this is enforceable. And still pretty easy to defeat, or are they gonna Linux too? Since Linux comes with the source code, anyone could recompile it removing the restriction.

It’s just absurd.

I know that the end user is the focus of GPL. But me, when choosing a library, as a user, I tend to avoid using GPL ones, because they restrict my freedom. In consequence, my end users (of which there are aproximately 0 anyway) don’t get GPL code either way.

How does GPL prevent Raytheon from using their software?

Open source is open source.

If I don’t want my software being used to make weapons I just won’t make weapon-related software. If they wanna use my 3D graphics library to display their missiles, cool, idgaf, that’s like putting ethical burden on a restaurant that serves food to soldiers because a military base was built nearby. The restaurant was there before the military base opened, and it’s not like they’re gonna use their food to kill people.

Well, it did improve someone’s live, didn’t it? I’m not claiming my library that has 3 stars on GitHub is gonna revolutionize all of humanity. But it’s a little improvement. That contributes to having a more complete software ecosystem.

That code is now available to everyone that wants it. If they need it, it’s there to use. Better than every company having to reimplements for the thousandth time the same closed software.

Which brings me to another point I didn’t mention before. If a company uses an open source library, even if they are not required to publish their improvements to the library, they might do anyway because it is easier than maintaining their own fork and migrating every upstream change.
