They actually may. They keep records tied to membership number and already have a system set up for yearly rebates.

I suppose I should say freedom of relevant information. Things that fall into the net of privacy generally don’t benefit the public to know. I’m focused more on scientific research, software code, things like that. Things the public benefits from the sharing of.

Good question, and a difficult one to answer comprehensively. Generally I’d say if the information is sufficiently dangerous to know, then destroying that knowledge for -everyone- including the original possessor of that knowledge is a reasonable choice. The knowledge of how precisely to make a nuclear bomb is not necessarily going to benefit anyone. But given something where that isn’t an option, such as mapping a virus to attempt to fight it, I’d say the information still should be available.

Mind you, I recognize this is an idealistic viewpoint. But I also recognize I will not be the end arbiter of informational dissemination. I just seek to get us closer to the point where someone else can agonize over these issues.

Ultimate freedom of information. Death to proprietary knowledge.

Honestly, I don’t see it happening. Granted, I’d be spared that outcome anyway, I run custom firmware on my X1. But while they’re a bit of a pain about some things, I don’t see them taking steps like that. They’re more of a Chinese pain (don’t share the source code, don’t follow the standards) than an American pain (money at every turn, subscriptions, vendor lockouts, etc).

What does any of that have to do with Bambu?

Could go for a middleground. Verbose -and- obscure. Check out fetlang when you’re not on a work computer.

Ask for all output in brainfuck.

Isn’t Motorola now Lenovo? I unfortunately can’t use their devices for work.

Didn’t Bambu just do this same thing about six months ago?

A site that basically exists purely to dox and harass people. They’re responsible for multiple people committing suicide, and have celebrated that fact.

No, that’s a filly buster.

Thank you.

Depends on your skill level, but I always found rsync the best tool for transferring between two systems, regardless of distance.

Could be worse. I once experimented with a debug-level function that ran on every line of text printed to the console. And had a typo, which threw an error. Which printed to the console.

Looks like no land tax because the house is not on land. The river undoubtedly is town/city property, so taxation of the land wouldn’t work.

Please sir, spare some cores for the needy?

I did something of that nature in a group chat once -with consent (and encouragement) of the people in the group chat-. Without that consent it’s just creepy to involve other people. That said, I played a MUD where it was quite common for casual acquaintances to engage in this sort of play in private. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it other than the lack of consent.

Carson City, NV. Apparently we pulled 7000 people. Think they severely underestimated how many people are pissed off.
