Please someone give me a reason he can’t nominate himself to the Supreme Court if a seat is vacant.

I have two AppleTVs and while they are great at what they do, I won’t buy another. The reason is that they are still locked down to what Apple allows you to do. Want to watch YouTube? Your only realistic option is Google’s app, complete with ads. If you connect a real computer to the TV, you have significantly more control over what’s going on, but you may lose some of the convenience of a dedicated TV device. Hopefully with things like the GabeCube, more Linux OSes will be dedicated to big screen TV use.

Plus the point is that you can replace the AppleTV with mostly whatever you like (some CEC functionality notwithstanding), and don’t use the TV’s own OS or apps for anything.

Breaking on updates is not good, I agree. I only use one extension (Tiling Window Manager), haven’t had any problem with updates and don’t find it useless by default. Would you agree that an extension-based design is OK here and the implementation needs work?

Seems to me that this is a good use case for an extension.

Seriously though, this brave man proves that you don’t need a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun. We need fewer guns, not more.

GNOME has a clipboard by default–actually it has two: Ctrl-C/X and middle click send to both clipboards.

As for terminal in the file manager, by default you can right click on empty space in the file manager and “open in console”.

Are we the baddies?

That’s what’s so great about bribery, if there’s any problem you just bribe some more.

Sorry poors, it’s just for rich people.

If you’re not yet on I2P, start with https://geti2p.net/ and then set up an I2P router. Once you’re on I2P, personally I use notbob.i2p to see what’s up.

Oh dear, things have worsened since I last looked, including 29 EU states just late this year.

I decided to never return to the US after they brought in mandatory fingerprinting. It’s progressed so much further now. Land of the free*

Beforehand the user gets a personal key from the government, then when a site asks for proof of age, the user signs a token which the site sends to the government server with a query “Is this user over 16?”. Then the government server identifies the user with the token, and responds to the site “Yes” or “No”.

The site cannot see any of your personal information, just that you are over 16.

I’m surprised the government isn’t doing the verification themselves as it has a huge information/tracking incentive to do so.

It’s been that way for a while with clubs and some designated bars, but when did this happen with all bars?

Though other major media outlets soon refuted the report as a mischaracterization, the popular memory of Bush’s reported amazement at a supermarket scanner remains one of the most enduring American political myths.
