The EFF's How to Fix the Internet is an interesting podcast which talks about various issues with the current landscape of the internet and potential ways to improve it.
Beehaw is a pun of yeehaw, the thing cowboys say. Hence the bee with a cowboy hat as a mascot.
Exactly. Especially a subreddit whose entire purpose is posting pictures, why would reddit care if all those pictures are of a single celebrity.
What does it mean for the money to disappear? Can I just not spend anymore or would it disappear from whoever I bought from. If the latter, I couldn't in good conscience buy anything. I wouldn't mind if say Walmart lost some profit, but thousands of dollars worth of cash suddenly going missing would cause people to lose their jobs.
If the former, I'd buy as much electronics as I could from Walmart and then buy a bunch of scratch offs and lottery tickets. Those are the only two placed open around here at 11pm.
I'll be the first to admit that I have no idea if the punishment fits the crime. I'm sure republicans are going to claim favoritism or something like that, and that probation is not enough, but I have no idea how stuff like this usually pays out.
The only frame of reference I have is Wesley Snipes who had 3 misdemeanor tax charges instead of two and got prison time, but Snipes' case was a lot wilder and more money was involved. Snipes didn't plead guilty though and didn't have a plea deal, so it seems reasonable enough to only get probation when you did plead guilty.
I'll have to try that and see if it helps.
The problem I have with that is you have to tip before you even eat the food. They could have screwed up your order, burnt your food, etc., but you won't know until after you've already tipped them.
A small correction: Swartz didn't share the journal articles. There's reasonable doubt on whether he was ever planning on sharing them or not, but he was arrested for the downloading of the articles not the sharing.
I've used RedReader for many years. When the api changes were announced I was certain I would never use reddit before, as I usually browse it on the phone. I still want to migrate away from reddit fully, but since RedReader has an api exception it's going to be more difficult to break my addiction.
Unfortunately none. I have an S10e with a locked bootloader. This is the first android phone I've owned that I hadn't used a custom ROM on. The last Samsung phone I owned was an S4 and I hadn't kept up with the custom ROM scene, so I hadn't known the locked bootloader nonsense when I got the S10e.
It sucks because there are no note security updates for the phone even though the hardware is still in good condition. I can't justify replacing a working phone even if I could afford a new one. I'm hoping eventually a vulnerability will be uncovered that allows unlocking the bootloader. There was one a few years ago I think, but it got patched before I even knew about it.
I used to run an OpenBSD mailserver for my personal email address for a few years. It wasn't that difficult to setup, more tedious and annoying than anything. I stopped doing it when I started searching for a job as I was too paranoid about my emails getting rejected without me knowing about it. I don't send many emails, but when I do send them I want to know they are getting to where they need to go. I know I was never blocked by gmail, but I couldn't be sure about other providers.
Now I just use my domain name as a catchall on mailbox.org and access it using offlineimap. All my emails are saved and backed up, so switching providers is no problem at all.
They could just disable booting from USB drives in the bios and password protect it. They could install something like Fedora Silverblue, or even customize the image used to include whatever modifications they want. Any changes they made to the image would be propagated through autoupdates. Kids wouldn't have root, so they couldn't forcibly install a different OS. Of course they could install flatpaks to their home directory, which is probably something administrators would want to prevent, but a knowledgeable student can always find ways to do what they want.
This of course requires schools/districts to hire people to manage that stuff, which could be a problem.
