You're not going to be banned for connecting your joy cons to your Linux PC. They only ban people for modding their Switch to play pirated games.

Doesn't iTunes provide DRM-free music exports? You could migrate your media to some platform agnostic version like Nextcloud.

I think Linux phones like the Phinephone are the way forward. They probably won't gain huge marketshare, but everyone that uses Linux on the desktop (probably half of HN) would enjoy them. The only complaint I have with my Pinephone is that its slow. Maybe the Librem 5's beefy processor would be better.

That doesn't make any sense since all development for Linux is already complete.

>Also I shouldn't have to opt out

Actually, the law says the tracking cookies have to be opt in, which is why the pop ups are so aggressive and undismissable in the first place.

>Imagine paying 30% more for software on your computer

I would argue that prices are already as high as the market can bear so that raising prices would not raise total revenue. Instead you would have to imagine publishers making much less in profit, which would still be bad since less people would be inclined to make commercial software.

How much goes to Uncle Sam?

I can't really imagine the poor buying property just to leave it empty. That sounds more like the behaviour of rich real estate investors.

Those buildings were abandoned. I don't know how increasing their liability would solve the problem.

People use it all the time along with the Spurdo meme and ":D"

Yes. I switched fully to Gitlab.

I've been here for about 7 years now and I agree 100% with what he said.

Did you read the top answer? Level 3 compliance doesn't sound trivial at all.

Congrats, you probably don't live in a high crime area. The people opting in to these services definitely want them, and usually because they were victimized in the past.

>I just can't think of anything else I've had this kind of relationship with - other tools, I either master, or I move on from. GIMP is an odd one.

I feel the same about Latex

I like Flash as an idea, its just the Adobe Flash Player that everyone had a problem with. It would have received a lot more love if there were alternate implementations available, especially open source ones. It's kind of similar to how you can often find Windows users complaining about "Java" when they mean the annoying Oracle JRE that sneaks into installs and is a security mess. Nobody ever complains about OpenJDK.

Reminds me of a lot of custom Team Fortress 2 maps you can run into. I remember the pure craziness that was the Party Van server in the early 2010's.

Why not just put the mp4 with every other static file and wrap it in a <video> tag on the page you want to embed it in?

Don't forget that Google flat out just bought Youtube when they realized Google Video couldn't compete.

Can't he give out his videos to subscribers in a torrent or something? That way you don't need any infrastructure to get it out there.

>Be aware that Qt's widget library isn't exactly well-suited for mobile usage

How so? It's my understanding that QT has been the industry standard for embedded systems.

>why would you ever run tasks you don't trust on your computer at all

Sometimes you have to use proprietary software for work. Or maybe you just really want to play a game.

No, but it seems to be the direction those two companies are moving anyway. Just look at Windows 10 "S mode". I'm just glad we have Linux as an option on the desktop to get away from that nonsense.

>Surely this is true for all developers, at any size? And also just about any product, or service, in any industry?

No, this is very unique to Apple, and only on iOS. Its the reason why iPhone web browsers have to use Safari under the hood.

I remember it doing this as well. But I just tried it now and it doesn't anymore.

>Citing unidentified industry and government figures, the FT said Johnson now intended to move the date forward again to 2030 in a speech on environmental policy he is expected to give next week.

>The BBC reported a similar plan earlier on Saturday, without giving any sources.

So it didn't happen yet, but they think it might. Why not just wait a few days to report it when we have something more concrete than anonymous sources?

Well there is a Convergence Edition which allows you to output over HDMI.

Operating systems for the Pinephone use the same software packages as desktop ARM Linux. So if it runs in the Raspberry Pi, it will run on your phone. Nextcloud is a nice option for seamless cloud sync.

You're thinking in an us-vs-them mentality. Really, we should be working towards a community where people can respect differing opinions, and not just a bunch of isolated sites full of extremists on either side.

There are full Linux distros for phones nowadays. They're still in alpha stages, but they're getting better all the time
