What I was recalling is the EPA's Engine Switching Fact Sheet from 1991.

https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/documents/engswitch_...

I learned today that it was replaced in 2020 by the EPA Tampering Policy. This one doesn't seem to focus so much on engine swaps but on the emissions devices themselves.

There's probably a disclaimer that it's not for street vehicles.

Note in the eCrate link it's explicitly claimed to be legal when done correctly.

Some of that might be to satisfy the EPA since it's technically against their rules to do engine swaps in many cases or delete or modify emissions devices.

"Black market AI" has a nice ring to it.

Obscurity can be fine but it's not security. I think of it like cover and concealment in the military. Security is cover. Something you can get behind so the bullets don't hit you. Obscurity is concealment. Harder to see, harder to find, so the enemy doesn't know where to shoot, but it's not stopping any bullets. Both have advantages and disadvantages and can complement each other depending on how they're used.

Race fans criticize liveries all the time.

I disagree with that as a hard rule and with the opinion that it's an anti-pattern. Reproducible containers are fine, but not always necessary. There's enough times when I do want to run apt-get in a container and don't care about reproducibility.

100% of marketing email I've received is spam. I didn't knowingly or willingly sign up for any of it.

There's some delusion in the marketing world that just because someone places an order or creates an account they should be spammed.

> Spam is not email from legitimate companies with valid contact details that have an opt out that you forgot to click when you signed up with them. That's legitimate marketing emails. You might argue they also shouldn't exist, but they are a different category.

Yes it is. Using a dark pattern to trick me into signing up doesn't make it not spam. It's still spam.

> It worries me a lot that people clicking "mark as spam" on messages from legit companies because they subscribed to the newsletter will mean that my messages with important information (order confirmations, e-tickets etc.) will get blocked.

Don't send spam and I won't mark it as spam. I didn't sign up for your newsletter, don't send it to me. Creating an account or placing an order does not mean I agree to your spam.

Three people in a car is not a tell for anything except three people in a car.

Yes

Conscription is slavery.

If Apple is distributing modified vlc binaries without releasing the source of the changes when requested, is that a potential legal problem?

It does that, depending on implementation.

In what cases are they mandatory? I've been leaving them blank for decades.

Wasn't Voice of America just a propaganda tool? Why are we happy that crap is back?

> Even non-atomic Linux distros have you reboot after updates.

It depends. Some of them have smart enough tooling to let you know if an update requires a reboot.

Alacritty shows me that it's http://evil.com when I hover over it.

gettext took over 30 years to get to 1.0 last month.

Tcl is great

EulerOS was certified UNIX some years ago.

It is not obsolete. It's also useful for other things.

> Swap files are a pain

Easier than partitions:

    mkswap --size 2G --file swap.img
    swapon swap.img

KDE has already created a browser engine, a browser, and a JavaScript engine.

Maybe it's available but you don't realize it.

Only 12?

X11 to Wayland was painless for me. I guess it depends on what you need from it.

> I think that Gentoo or even Arch would provide pretty close to the same education level, though, with a lot less time to install.

it only takes three commands to install Gentoo

cfdisk /dev/hda && mkfs.xfs /dev/hda1 && mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/ && chroot /mnt/gentoo/ && env-update && . /etc/profile && emerge sync && cd /usr/portage && scripts/bootsrap.sh && emerge system && emerge vim && vi /etc/fstab && emerge gentoo-dev-sources && cd /usr/src/linux && make menuconfig && make install modules_install && emerge gnome mozilla-firefox openoffice && emerge grub && cp /boot/grub/grub.conf.sample /boot/grub/grub.conf && vi /boot/grub/grub.conf && grub && init 6

that's the first one
