> Amazon argued that the class was too large to be manageable

Sorry, we've wronged too many people to be held accountable! What a wild argument.

Yep, and if legal system won't work in such cases then it clearly need to be redone, somehow. It would be realy easy in monarchy (if monarch wants) so why obvious _effect_ can't be possible with democracy too ?

Same with "right deny to repair" - obviously anti-legal.

Stupidity can't win forever.

When it will stop ? The minimal languages... To be useful for something language need to have at least minimal standard library.

Or just possibility to do syscalls to do something. What is more important then new syntax and sugar over basic instructions.

It's a crying shame that given the choice, the voters picked the modern-day equivalent of Lysenkoism[1].

[1] Which due to the timing of its adoption and abandonment did avoid outright causing famines in the Soviet Union... And went on to kill tens of millions of people in China.

Sorry, but thats what USians choose and looks Trump was better alternative then Lady-do-nothing-California.

And you literaly insult peoples that actually lived in Warsaw Pact, check your body count numbers.

yes, yes, everybody know that now...

but software is just not-a-base thing - it needs cpu's, computers. If you want realy independence do base thing - computer hardware ! Make small hardware that just can run Linux, can display things and use keyboard and mouse... Do eg. Dennmark do this ? Or Bosh ? Or...

Computers just to connect to internet and send some messages via IRC or something... ;)

I don’t understand the obsession with systemd managing everything. I do not want it to manage my logs, NTP, DNS resolution, and I sure as hell don’t want it to manage /home.

It's easy to understand: RH is IBM which in turn is same business owners as MS and Apple so they preparing to destroy Linux, making it not a Windows or mainframes killer. Positioning... Holds even if systemd started before RH buyout.

Works becouse RH is or was main developping force in open source. Ubuntu or SUSE or Debian or EU are just joke in software development. And RH [management] goes rogue... Think: back to pre-POSIX UNIX wars...

If abandonware of Win11 UI means Win12 then maybe I like that direction :)

On the other hand it it is smpossibility that MS is working on something better, right ? They probably plan some worse UI prison...

ASCI was [business] enforced by some EU project, POSIX - the same and probably there are more examples of such things so we just need some sanity __OS with UI__ project from someone...

Part about button is joke, right ? :))

Woodi commented on When Streaming Won't Cut It and You Need the DVD   nytimes.com/2025/07/13/mo... · Posted by u/bookofjoe

I have "Battle Royal" on CD so:

- I hate Fortnite for trivialising killing

- CD is damaged in one place, boo...

I also have "Matrix" and "Pulp Fiction" on DVD etc. but imagine this: you login to Netflix or HBO and there is no "Matrix" or PF to watch ! HOW idiotic and dumb by platforms owners... Maybe it is limited to other streaming platform because of ownership or something but putting it somewhere online is basic SANITY ! But no, _they_ do limit accesibility... I can't grasp that...

On top of that so many older films are not available ! Eg. where is Toy Story number 1 ?? I saw somewhere 2 or 3 but skipped becouse you need to keep order ;)

And when I log to streaming platform I have max 2 weeks or less of material to watch and then just thing to rewatch. But they want _monthly_ subscriptions ! Are they intentionally suicide their own platforms ??

So DVD is best thing after CD ;)

Woodi commented on 'Europe must ban American Big Tech and create a European Silicon Valley'   tilburguniversity.edu/mag... · Posted by u/taubek

Not true. Why ban companies ?

But Europeans MUST ban data transfer! Like yesterday! And that is literal but temporary shutdown of american Big Tech. Logic. And I know eg. Australia tried something.

Also european spy agencies don't want it because they are literal 3rd Word institutions if we talk new technologies and getting stream of data is easier.

Shut data transfer now. We are not integrated yet.
