GRRM is still writing his series.
That’s simple: have the earliest works released into the public domain, while he keeps squatting on the newer and promised ones.

How long do you think copyright should be?
No easy solutions but my general guideline would be that both copyright and patents should never last more than half the retirement age of a current generation, calculated via actuarial tables or some trustable scientific method.
The rationale is simple: the ultimate purpose of both is (or, well, should be) to promote creation so that society in general can be participant of the resulting effects. Half the retirement age not only is a good compromise between giving creator control and giving at least half of society the opportunity to enjoy the public good result of creation within their lifetime and within their fair opportunity to earn wages, in particular in such cases as eg.: big pharma and medications, but also promotes that big creators, such as corporations, act towards the public good of lengthening life and providing good living standards for the rest of society.
And this is the reason I run infra on Debian Stable, or Oldstable, rather than eg.: Sid.
, where u can probably disable it if wanted.
these things should be opt-in, not opt-out. Opt-out is the way Microsoftism get (and have already gotten into) Linux.
Potterdung’s hand in it probably. That said, it makes it much easier to extract information about an error condition on a machine you might not have keyboard access to… assuming you do have screen access to, tho.
And they specifically logged and delivered data about freedom fighters and environmentalists, so there’s some bias on Proton’s hand there.
No problema.
Hicimos llorar y retirarse al tal “Messías”, we made him cry and retire. Dos veces. Lo humillamos y lo hicimos un meme. Podemos hacerlo de nuevo. Yes we can.
Mentira. Aposté Chile 0-4 Argentina en la oficina.
Think about it, do you really want to have X11 going forward the next decades?
If the alternative is a new system that literally does nothing? Sure!
Want to present a menu for windows? Wayland: “lol, do it yourself”.
Want to position a window? Wayland: “lol, do it yourself”.
Want to remember that a window has a position? Wayland: “lol, do it yourself”.
Want to add a global keyboard shortcut? Wayland: “AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
X11 may be old and whatever you want, but it works and it’s battle-tested. Wayland can’t even launch a full desktop session in my machine, which is even less than the failure Pulseaudio was back in its day and that’s saying something. And even if it did somehow launch, I probably would not be able to use anything serious like a media player or multiple workspaces on it.
February this year, and the iGPU of my machine (Intel 915 driver).
I mean yes, how exactly would you want the web to work?
Text and images and hyperlinks; maybe audio and video if you’re lucky and you can prove you can be trusted. No such thing as scripting, or if it’s allowed, only in a limited manner with no such thing as “eval” and obfuscation and no ability to add or delete nodes from the DOM (or if it’s allowed, those nodes must reflect under View Source / CTRL+U). No such things as loading a javascript audioplayer that tries to mix 123456 weird sources, just link me the .m3u direct to the audio stream’s .mp3 file, or even better an .opus.
Definitively no DRM.
If any such thing as GPU access is provided it should be to deposit data, not to run code.
It’s not dead there either, although I’d make the argument that X11 as a project is “mature” or “finalized”, it doesn’t really need hyperactive development like the tiktok children are used to.
(There are very good arguments that a new software stack was needed, but I’d expect the result to at least do something; ATM Wayland is little more than literally a “everyone else do my work for me” project)
I ask for some method that prevents the file to even be copied through a disk clone
Oh that’s quite simple! Just don’t have the files on the first disk in the first place. Make them a remote mount from a server, for example via sshfs, webdav, etc. Heck, even ftp if it comes down to it. That way, even though you can clone the disks, you can not get to the files if you don’t also have the full authentication requirements for the remote server (such as a password).
At a conceptual level, you can’t do anything via root
to prevent someone who clones the disk from… well, cloning the disk. Having physical access to a disk is a much higher level of access than even root, so if what you are looking for is for your content to not be cloned, you need to fortify physical access to the device.
alias run0=sudo
(not really; I’d rather not introduce an alias or any sort of symbolic behaviour that would teach me to expect that systemd crap is available on a system. The less you rely on it, the better)
lol, Wayland can’t even start a desktop session on my machine, whereas X11 has worked without issues since 2009 (the last time I ever had to edit xorg.conf).
Sure sounds like X11 is the one who’s “dead” around here!
La suscripción por el canal de la cuneta cuesta cero, wink wink.
Y sólo por si acaso, ten algún Software Libre como fallback. Hay varias alternativas a los productos servicios de Adobe.
To be fair, the fact that browsers are allowed to do so much that this warning has to be shown is more an indictment on the current state of browsers (which at this point are almost like installing VMWare and a virtual machine on your computer!) than on something something Firefox or something something Flatpak.
To be fair it’s 2024 and I’m still doing this, because adding an alternate location to install flatpaks in results in Flatseal not being able to detect those apps or edit those permissions. Just setting the default location as a symlink to where I want to magically fixes everything.
I might be old but I seem to recall the French taught the proper way to protest this kind of stuff, rather than the soft protests we saw in 2020, let alone 2016.
As for me, fortunately I live in tbe Best Hemisphere so I plan to offer whatever housing space I have available so my friends from the US can flee over and nap the Trump Kingdom over.
