They become shit when doing so makes them more money - eventually temptation wins. There is less temptation when a platform is open source (libre) because someone else can come along and host practically the same platform but minus the anti-features.

While it would expand battery life that doesn't mean their intent was genuine. Could be a concern about their phone's image: "100%" looks better than "80%". It sounds like the "you're too stupid to understand" route.

Having the same name was okay when the lowest VRAM version actually had enough for the time.. but today a NEW 8GB GPU shouldn't exist. People will hear reviews for the bigger version and mistakenly think that's what they're buying when sorting by price.

I hope GNU Taler does well in Switzerland. One day I would like to accept payments/donations using Taler ❤️

It's not piracy, it's unauthorised copying. No boats and murder here.

I assume most companies write somewhere in their terms that "lifetime" means effectively "whenever the fuck we want".

If there is a company that uses the word lifetime properly they may be worth a mention.

Having power over others means there is temptation to use that power for your own gain, and at others' expense. Resisting that all the time is a lot of effort. Best to reduce the amount of power to a more manageable level, and affect fewer people if not resisted.

Hopefully we'll have more compassion in the future and treat criminals like they're in need of help.. not ideal test subjects for a new torture machine.

I lose interest in DF when, after some lucky military dwarfs die in glorious combat, I have to micro manage re-adding dwarfs to squads. Is there a mod to automate adding dwarfs to squads?

I'd love it if the commander/captains would have meetings to choose a new member out of some pool of dwarfs that want to join. And also kick out unhappy, trouble-makers from the military.

Hell of a first day.

Cognitohazards are my favorite - at least.. I think I remember them being my favorite.

 

A video taking on the difficult task to address an article with a unique format (my favorite "read"): https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2521

 

They told me who you are.

 

This sub looks empty, thought I'd post one of my favorite SCP videos.

 

Work are chucking out a "Cisco 887VA-M" integrated services router.

Anyone know if I can install some custom OS/firmware via the USB on the back?

I expect this is just e-waste but maybe it has some use as emergency switch :)

 

I had not heard of a weighted blanket until I saw that image and searched for what it might refer to. Are they useful for adults too? Will ask my ADHD friend if they ever had one, might make a good gift.

The image looks like it could be used as a real emoji (expressing comfort). Who made it? I would like to use the image if permission has been given (e.g. Creative Commons licence).
