Prolong your browser for as long as necessary and explore the possibility of using the internet without any web browsers. Firefox is a last stand of competition, and without choice there might as well not be browsers at all.

Is it wise to have such a complex everything-app with no end in sight? (more like, no end in site)

Why can't we have nice things instead.

I doubt that would be the reason for their ban. If it is a creative work then in some countries it's automatically copyrighted, but it's not like most would go out of their way to stop it (unlike with like people reacting to other YouTube videos, films, anime, etc).

What type of reaction content? If it wasn't using the minimum amount of copyrighted material needed to comment or being transformative, and was distributing the majority of a work, then at any point a DMCA will nuke em. Google might not think it's worth the risk hosting that reaction content forever.

If your hardware ain't working maybe there's barrier to devs working on it caused by the designer/manufacture. Or we have not paid them enough for it to be worth their time?

Relying on info gathered from the copying of info without asking is also selfish.

No I don't think users "agreed to it" because page 165 of 245 of legalese says Reddit owns the posts. If anyone reading does then why not complain about Reddit, not the users.

Just because you are "bad programmer" does not mean you are a bad programmer.

The total number of countries on Earth is.. depends on who you ask.

It's our hardware so we should be able to select another provider or host our own. Not that I consider ad tracking a "service".

Draw.io says it will use Apache but "with an extra line forbidding usage (...)". It is not the normal Apache license. The extra line is a big difference in principle.

I hate scamming people but I think that should be fixed in another way.

It seems "open source" means different things for different people.

If you could see the code but were not allowed to redistribute it then I'd call it "source-available".. but you can redistribute the code, in this unusual case.

Forbidding reselling to any degree makes it "non-free" (as in freedom), which is the important part. The term "open source" was created to speak about "free software" without the moral or political aspects of user freedom.

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.

+Wood mug+ engraving unrelated.

 

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).
