With Apple silicon, I'm not sure there is such a thing as a Linux USB boot. The install instructions for Asahi begin from macOS.
Even if there were, it may be orthogonal to the anti-theft online Activation feature that wpm was talking about.

I had no idea. I guess this refers to app-store rules? Related to https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/applicat... and https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/preventin... ?
Or is it even hard to browse to http webpages? (No problem on iOS that I see.)

When I lived in CA I had a landlord that demanded cashier's check. Do you know how annoying those are to get?
I could have also paid cash but then I'd take the risk that the cash, dropped in a mailbox, would "go missing".

The Maintain Top Safe Speed thing was envisioned for transiting across fallout-contaminated areas in the weeks and months afterwards. It prescribes there would be cops stationed at the ends of such routes, limiting the flow of cars entering so that those within the stretch would not be congested and could go fast.

https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-2.0-only.html has "51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA" in red italics, and says: " Text in red is replaceable (see Matching Guidelines B.3.4). License or exception text will match to the text for the specified identifier if it includes a permitted variant of this replaceable text. The permitted variants can be found in the corresponding regular expression as shown in title text visible by hovering over the red text."
Which in turn says: "can be replaced with the pattern .{54,64}" (that is, any string between 54-64 characters long).
"Left-hand-drive cars, but traffic keeps to the left" -- yet the picture doesn't hint at which side traffic drives on.
"Language on the shop fascia looks like a Latin alphabet business name rather than Spanish or Portuguese" -- I'm sorry, what alphabet are Spanish and Portuguese written in?
In a way it's a perfect little example of how a bug can seem obscure to some (most) users/developers but seem glaring and unacceptable to a few (the few who happen to use the relevant feature a lot).
The problem seems worse on "alternative" search engines, e.g. DuckDuckGo and Kagi, which both use Bing. It's been driving me back to Google.
A blocklist seems like a losing proposition, unless, like adblock filter lists, it balloons to tens of thousands of entries and gets updated constantly.
Unfortunately, this kind of blocklist is highly subjective. This list blocks MSN.com! That's hardly what I would have chosen.
The only search hits I found for this claim are your comment. I find no such mention at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Pacific . What are you referring to?
Meanwhile OSM says that you may "fade/collapse the attribution ... automatically on map interaction" among other possibilities (https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Attribution_Guideline...). It being licensed the way it is, you can use Leaflet.js or whatever else instead of the copy they host, if you really don't like their iframe...
Actually OSM's license is so weak on the attribution it requires, that OSM does not ingest CC-BY data, because OSM believes their further distribution would not satisfy CC-BY's attribution requirement.

Yeah. It is. I think the first half of the blog post is deliberately not a "good" blog post - it is deliberately written as if by someone with an agenda to push. I don't think the author necessarily has that agenda, I think he's role-playing it, as a set-up to his real point.
Reread the whole second half and it is clear. "You can write something similar about any useful technology."
EDIT: I'm not saying the whole theatrical presentation was good persuasive writing, I'm just interpreting it.
The whole point is that if you read something like that and all you glean is "this guy doesn't like Python", rather than "I will take those results into consideration if and when appropriate", you stunt your own ability to learn new information.
It reminds me of the book The Scout Mindset.
It's clear they don't want you distributing modified versions. The thing people are getting caught up on is "You may not create, maintain, or distribute a forked version of the software." They fail to define "forked" but they don't seem to have meant an undistributed modification.
Or are people really ripping DVDs and Blu-Rays from huge personal collections?
That takes HTML files as input, and I don't know where those are found. ISOs of CD-ROM editions from 1996 and 2009 are online, but it looks like an adventure to install the software and/or extract the data.
The trouble with piracy is that provenance is so shaky, with plenty of chance for bugs or alterations...
Edit to add: Also, "i scanned the first edition decades ago" sounds like quite a story. 13 volumes? What project were you doing?
