Yep, Electronic Frontier Foundation. Key players in Right To Repair in the US. With good history of "fighting for the user".

I can see a lot of comments against copyright here, but has anyone considered the implications of changes to copyright on copyleft?

I argue copyleft is demonstrably socially useful in locking things open. I do wonder if we'll end up the two being different legally....

Can it run problem bank apps? I need a bank auth app for work as the bank stopped fobs and it just would not run on LineageOS. It refused to run because "the phone is insecure". I tried Magisk hiding stuff and MicroG, and a number of way of tricking methods. That's why I ended up on GrapheneOS, as a compromise without feeling too compromised. Everything seams to think it's on a normal Android phone, but I've sandboxed the Google tentacles. But it would be better if mandating OS wasn't allowed. If I want to run a "insecure" phone, that's my "problem".

Age of Earth will be my guess.

They won't want their kids exposed to all that scientific consensus showing it's about 4 billion years old.

I can only speak of on Linux. If you know the disk is bad, clone it, with ddrescue, and fix the clone. But in future RAID and backup remotely. Also, next gen filesystems like ZFS and Btrfs for check sums and self healing and subvolumes with send/receive deltas between them.

I trust Tasmota more than some random closed source thing.

Just because no one else has said, Adam has been involved in EFF for a long time. EEF Podcast episode with him in it:

Which delights me as he's more mainstream and so wakes people up to things like the Right To Repair movement.

But super important and not done enough! Disproving something can save humanity such time.

You can see what he'll be like. Constantly trying to talk more than he would be allowed for his position, then claiming he is being silenced when he's not allowed. If he got himself kicked out for behavior, he'd love it. His followers will lap it all up.

What I wanted hasn't been implemented.

I want Mixed Member PR (Germany and New Zealand have this), but with score/range voting instead.

I'm glad that had a happy ending and sorry that happen. Autolock is so dangerous.

Ah. Sorry

FPTP has to go, but the further right the government, the hard it is to push them for it. A right Labour is better odds then any Conservative flavor, and it's not like the Conservatives are moving left right now.

Well done at retiring at 53!

There will literally be Tory trolls/bots pushing this narrative to split the Labour vote. Get the Tories out, then push Labour for PR, hard, to keep Tories out of unjust power.

It's an entertainment channel, that happens to have "news" in it's name. So not subject to news rules. So it can have Tory MPs as presenters interviewing other Tory MPs as guests.

That OK isn't it? Not remotely dishonest and unbalanced....

They will get shutdown soon enough for this dishonest nasty stuff. Or, as they will say, "silenced by the woke main stream for telling the truth". It's kind of what they want.

I've been on Debian Testing for my own desktops for about 15 years now. Sometimes as a Frankendebian mixing in SID/unstable. Sometimes mainly unstable, but mostly just Testing.

It rarely breaks, but when it does, it's a learning opportunity. Stable for servers and other people's desktops. Maybe with backports. Flatpacks if this no other option.

You don't get 100% solid and 100% new. Ever. With anything.

Busybox is used in the initramfs normally. It's the shell used by any scripts in that early stage, as well as the fallback shell environment.

You spelt monopoly wrong.

I think it's a step.

We also need to enforce existing news laws on any media outlet that calls itself "news".

There is so much disinformation right now and there will probably be multiple solutions needed.
