It also sucks for locals because some corps will strongly preference people on work visas since they basically own the employees.

Our Samsung smart tv is super slow as well. It seems just smart tvs in general are awful.

I have the same issue every time the air compressor is turned on.

We had some of that in school. In English class there was a task that had an article that went something along the lines of "Aunt sues grandson over a hug" with the article body describing how she fell over due to the hug and broke her arm and is now suing the grandson over it saying he was irresponsible. We were then ask to analyse the article. On the next page was another article about the same event but this time it went in to the details that the only reason the Aunt was suing the grandson was because it would allow insurance to pay for her medical fees and would not negatively impact the grandson.

It was a pretty eye opening task showing how 2 articles which both report only the truth can be twisted to bring about different stories/emotions.

I don't disagree with your conclusion but your logic is incorrect.

If there was no food or water in the US then there would also be zero gun homicides. Food and water are obviously not a cause or related to a problem but the logic is exactly the same.

With the right tools. Arguably unrestricted vehicle access should not be available in densely populated areas. They are basically mass murder machines even with well intentioned drivers.

Even a fairly healthy society will have a few bad actors. The solution is to provide care for people so the majority do not want to cause harm and then prevent needless ability to cause harm so the occasional crazy person isn't able to do much damage.

The gun is still a problem. Its just only half the problem. A mentally ill person with a knife is still bad but an order of magnitude less so.

The solution probably lies in preventing people from wanting to do so much damage in the first place. The fact that it is such a common occurrence for Americans to want to shoot up schools says a lot.

With the absolute garbage apple has released in the macbook range for the last few years its a surprise they have any relevance at all.

A simple script could win at FPS games every single time but it also hasn't diminished the value of the game as long as none of your competitors are using it.

Just put a scoreboard on captcha.

A lot of things that seem to fall under copyright are not particularly difficult to brute force. Looking at music for example. Most music follows a set of fairly basic patterns where each part of the music (drum beat, chord progression) is just a short arrangement of only a few choices. And yet the copyright system seems to take even a tiny piece of a song as copyrightable. It would not be difficult or time consuming for a script to generate every possible 4-6 chord progression and every single kind of melody which is close enough for copyright (Often these cases use very general terms like "A descending melody starting at C")

So if I load up one of those websites that generates random images with AI and it spits out an image for me. Do I own the copyright to that image now or does the website creator own the copyright?

With that logic, the camera manufacturer owns copyright to all photos taken with it.

What if someone used no samples at all but used all of the stylistic choices of the artist and made something that sounds like the original artist made it despite no part being directly copied?

Years ago I remember there was an article of someone using brute force to generate every possible phrase of a certain length so that from that point on no one could ever claim ownership of one since they had all already been created.

Also I wonder what defines created. If I create a program that can generate every possible variation of x, do I get copyright when the program is run or do the results have to be saved. Or do I get copyright over the output of my program before it has even run since the result of the program is fixed we can know it would have resulted in the output even if it was never run. What if I just make a webserver with unlimited pages and given the correct url is entered it can output any result at all. That data was available on my website since it was created so do I have copyright over it?

If we allow the output of programs which were not extensions of the users input (photoshop, a text editor) than in theory my program that outputs random numbers now has copyright over every possible work that could ever be created.

mailinabox comes with a nextcloud instance which does contacts/calendar.

It has a built in backup tool using duplicity that by default backs up to the local storage but you can plug in your s3/b2 details and it will back up to those. The backups are encrypted so amazon won't be reading your emails either.

Mailinabox is a fully configured service. You need a fresh ubuntu install, you run the install script and it configures everything for you and notifies you when it needs to be updated or something is not as it should be.

I was running mine on a $2.5/m vultr vps for a year. Upgraded to a $5 instance for more storage and it has run almost maintenance free. In the rare instances I do need to do something it mails me the details.

The point of the numbering changes is if you want to insert a new item half way through the list you don't have to change every single line. Unfortunately it probably confuses people more often than it helps them.

Zoom is an awful piece of malware. Wayland doesn't need to support zoom, zoom needs to support wayland. With that logic literally every change to an OS is broken because it doesn't run my cli accounting program from 1985.

Its funny how people shit all over systemd for doing everything and then people shit all over wayland for just doing enough for the task it was made for.

I think the complaining is 10% real concerns and 90% people upset that it is different than it used to be.

No, the other end is just receiving a video stream. Unless you are looking for something more advanced which actually renders the desktop on the remote computer which I'm not would work to well if it is even possible in X11

My main complaint about npm/yarn is that they keep the library code in the project dir and only keep the exact versions and packages that you are using so every time you switch branch you constantly have to run yarn to get the right package versions unlike with ruby gems where there is a folder outside of the project dir which contains a cache of everything you have downloaded and it all just works after branch switches.

My work laptop has been on wayland for years now. My desktop was on x11 due to nvidia drivers but now I have an amd card in it so I am back to wayland.

Screensharing is possible but it is not part of wayland. The compositor/DE must implement screen sharing and manage how programs are given permission to this.

Sometimes problems are better solved legally rather than technically. You could spend all year thinking of a way to prevent this or you could just have a law that states that users must have access to machine readable copies of all the data you collect about them.

To a computer there is very little you can do to distinguish between obfuscated and regular data but to a human/legal system the difference is clear.

Location pricing was done before the internet and ad tracking. Some countries have richer people who can afford to pay more for luxuries.
