Lol cars last more than “a few years”, my current vehicle is 20 years old. I’ll easily get another 150,000 miles out of it, probably more. I already have a crate motor picked out to swap in when the engine finally dies. Or I could just “upgrade” to a newer year and still be non-networked.
Now I’m being a little silly, but at this rate of climate change acceleration, I’m starting to bet that my current vehicle is going to outlive capitalism anyway.
Yeah, so the thing is, any amount of trust that I had has already been completely destroyed. “We don’t do it anymore because it’s illegal, trust me bro” isn’t going to cut it. Does the bill include mandatory prison time for executives for violations, or just cost-of-doing-business fines? Will this be enforced by a government regulatory body that is not literally outnumbered 20:1 by car manufacturer lawyers?
If the car has any kind of network capabilities and 100% of the car’s software is not open source, I’m not buying it. Period.
This bill would not need to exist if cars were FOSS, or if cars were non-networked. Those are the only 2 solutions that I will accept. This bill is worthless to me.
What about extreme violations of privacy? Let me know when that is “out”, too.
I remind myself “it’s just life” and that “no one makes it out of life alive”
A tiny bit of nihilism goes a long way
Ha, had no idea it was pronounced like that. I’ve always said MATE like “date”/“rate”/“fate”
It is not only more Rubles than currently exists, but more money than currently exists in any currency 😂
KDE Plasma. I like having a familiar start menu and keyboard shortcuts
Wow sounds like great news for Russia and a huge win for them then, I’m sure their internet trolls are supporting this decision instead of crying about it all over the internet, right??
You’re welcome to fork Linux at any time 👋 see ya!
It’s a little unclear what you mean, like because more than half a million Russian soldiers have already been killed so far and yet the war keeps going, that the people must be responsible for supporting?
Russia is conscripting, so most are not there by choice but required by law. If you draft dodge and get caught, you go to prison, and still just end up on the frontline anyway, since they are emptying their prisons to use as soldiers, too. And these people will be shot and killed by their own side if they attempt a retreat, while fed propaganda and misinformation about their treatment if they surrender. There has been significant human trafficking to support their war effort. They’ve also depended heavily on mercenary forces outside of their military in order to have skilled soldiers, and are now even receiving soldiers from North Korea in order to continue fighting.
Besides that, there are so many factors that go into why a person would decide to join the military and in reality, they are usually economic ones or from extensive propaganda.
This has kind of been the expectation of JWST and why it was so anticipated and is so exciting. The whole point is to collect new data that challenges our understanding and learn new things.
These articles are usually written in a highly sensationalized way. Our understanding of what “should be possible” is based on computer models/simulations. These new, hard to explain observations have taught us that our models were not detailed or precise enough, or need to have parameters adjusted to accurately reproduce them, without needing to break our theories of the big bang and an expanding universe. We don’t even need to throw out the old models, because they are still useful and great for modeling most of the universe, just understand that there are limitations for using them to model the very early universe
There are definitely big mysteries yet to be explained and a lot to learn and figure out. The Hubble Tension comes to mind, and that one does make me a bit suspicious that something isn’t quite right.
100% agree with you! Like I said, I don’t think we can hold all Russian people directly responsible for the actions of their government.
I wish for an ideal world where politics could stay out of Linux, but this is extremely tricky and cannot be treated black and white. Labeling things as “political” and then crying to keep “politics” out of things is often used as a weapon for exclusion, for example by sexuality or race, and I think exclusion should be anathema for Linux and open source projects.
if russians get banned from the kernel bc russia invaded ukraine
You should read the article because this is not a thing that has occurred, at least not yet.
ALL conflicts involve at least two sides
Okay then, so describe the 2 sides and the punishments they deserved during the Nazi Germany invasion of Poland/Europe and the holocaust. I hate to bring Nazis into it as an argument, but you did say “ALL” and it easily shows how ridiculous that take is.
Your justification of genocide is both ludicrous and gross.
Wait, what?? Zelenskyy took office after being democratically elected in 2019. Russia invaded Ukraine and annexed the Crimea region of Ukraine in 2014. Your timeline does not check out there.
The US has been involved in probably 300 regime changes throughout the world, has invaded many countries, including those that we were not affiliated with.
Absolutely fair point. I agree with you on this portion of your comment.
Does invading your neighbor count as international collaboration? Not that all Russian people can be held directly responsible for the actions of their government.
I believe you could use qemu for 64-bit emulation on a 32-bit system
