He doesn’t want others to think he’s as poor as those guys who cannot afford to pay these taxes.

Edit: typo

I believe you are saying that I never should have expected such purism in the first place.

What I’m saying is that Signal have a conflict of interest when it comes to Google and other customers.

their clients are open source

Their clients are but they sell proprietary licenses, so when they proclaim that There is no WhatsApp ‘backdoor’, you have to take their word for it.

Signal is a paid contractor for Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and others since many years.

They openly talk about this on their own blog: https://signal.org/blog/allo/

One of those paywall removers is basically Perplexity summarizing entire articles.

the Gnome dev in that thread mentions that Gnome bans AI usage, but I haven’t been able to find anything that confirms that

You can bet your behind that the developers employed by IBM Red Hat are 100% using LLMs to code. Chances are they are even mandated by corporate higher-ups to do so.

They’re welcome imo

Not without protecting their southern border first, preferably by making the southern neighbour pay for it.

Don’t post pictures of keys online, too easy to make a copy

Or your fingerprints…

Speak Spanish then.

Wait, to nut is to wank but a nutter isn’t a wanker?

They could just add optional support upstream behind a compilation flag.

Hah! It’s roughly 50-50 but even the 50% that doesn’t mind honey would usually buy some sort of syrup. It’s usually about it being an Ingredient.

Some otherwise vegan sweets are coated in super thin bee’s wax, so they don’t stick together. Many don’t mind, especially if the alternative is wrapping them in plastic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mett

It’s a common fast food sold at butcher shops. Handling is not much different to sushi which you also wouldn’t want to eat without proper refrigeration.

If it’s not safe to eat in your country, your food hygiene laws are lacking.

Mett is perfectly fine, just like sushi.

Textile products often come out of the factory with an insane amount of synthetic chemicals that get absorbed through the skin, so washing clothes, bedsheets, etc is mandatory anyway.

Just do the same. I don’t see the problem. Some time ago I bought a pack of “used” steel drinking straws. I think only the packaging was damaged and never actually used, not that it matters. Put them into the dishwasher, as I would have done anyway. Saved 60%.

ICANN’s procedures for redelegating a TLD require either the consent of the current manager or substantial misbehaviour of the current manager. It seems unlikely that Register.BG will give up control voluntarily

Just pass a law to take control of Register.BG by requiring that they answer to some agency. Blah, blah,blah, national interest.

I looked for but didn’t find any about LG TVs, the actual topic here and what the wild claim was made about.

The TV should just act as a TV with input ports. Why update the firmware?

jack it into a PC for media

Even a proprietary streaming stick like FireTV would be an improvement because it only collects telemetry from the stick itself and not devices connected to other HDMI ports.

Projectors have become amazing.

Yeah and consumer oriented ones have their own apps and Google TV integration and the like, so no idea how a different image displaying tech would be a solution to privacy invasive TVs.
