Pretty sure this was described exactly in Snow Crash (Neal Stephenson, 1992).

I'm no "veteran diplomat" but in my experience it is only the people without real power who make threats. When you have power, you don't need to make threats. You just respond to events with whatever proportionate response is necessary and within your capability. You don't need to provide a preview of what those responses will be.

Setting "red lines" looks to me like weakness because it is essentially a plea to the other side not to do those things that you don't want them to do, and it invites them to push up to those red lines, do anything but, and test their boundaries to test your commitment to them.

Yes, but they're made by Apple.

This is not a federated bandcamp, it's a platform for bands to do marketing across mutliple various social networks from one web portal.

I've been using Firefox since the beginning, before that Mozilla, and before that Netscape Navigator.

But I think it's finally time to switch to Librewolf.

I don't want digital advertising of any kind, even if my privacy is "preserved" through fancy data-laundering.

KSMBD is also important in that placing such core server functionality right inside the kernel represents a significant potential attack surface for crackers. As one comment on Hacker News said "Unless this is formally proven or rewritten in a safer language, you'll have to pay me in solid gold to use such a CVE factory waiting to happen."

Words to live by.

I started the video thinking "huh, that's neat I guess" and then I was more and more impressed as the video went on. This would be pretty revolutionary in how it could change your workflow. It's the kind of feature that would get me to switch from Gnome to KDE if it was only supported fully in the latter.

7-zip supports just about every archive type (including rar files) and it's Free Open Source Software.

The ads are legitimate and paid for but disguise themselves as the website or software the user is searching for.

That is not what "legitimate" means.
