I think the question is flawed and so are the responses. You all wrote far too much so I cba to read

The revolutionary aspect is the quantity of the satellites and the affordability of access due to reduction in deployment costs.

There are certainly more secure options but better is unlikely given how revolutionary starlink is.

Arms manufacturers would probably argue that guns are intended to be deterrent. And they shouldn’t be held liable that the cops keep executing unarmed suspects with them.

As someone who read a lot as a child I still find myself saying hyperbowl. I’d certainly heard the correct pronunciation but it wasn’t until very late that I made the connection to the word I’d learned by reading.

What phrasing are you saying is dishonest? A quick search of proton student discount doesn’t even bring up any results from them

Do you mean rel="nofollow"?

I used to see this a lot with Facebook. Every time they altered the design people would kick up a fuss and I never understood why, the new design always looked far better.

Nowadays of course I don’t use Facebook but will occasionally have to sign in to look up the details of a business or something. The design has of course changed and I can’t find a damn thing on it. So I’m finally on board with the masses.

But they aren’t getting forced to change accounts. Their service continues just under another provider.

People who use the default email their ISP gives them don’t like change. The new service will probably have a different login screen and that’s going to upset aunty Ethel and uncle ron. And then a different colour background. It’s the worst thing that anyone could ever do to them

I imagine most single developer projects lack any design or UX so the screenshot would do little to encourage users to download.

You may want to re-read the comment I was replying to. At no point did I blame Windows. I simply provided an anecdote supporting that Linux has decent out of the box support for drivers.

Yep. I’ve got a Logitech mouse that always bugged out on Windows. Tried downloading their app/drivers and the install indicator just kept going and going above 100%. Completely broken.

Same mouse on Ubuntu works perfectly.

I’ve been playing around with Grafana alot lately so my screens do look closer to the second. Except not such a disordered jumble so it doesn’t have any where near the same wow factor

You must mean ie7, surely?

I was developing for ie6 back in 2010 and I considered those to be dark, dark times. I can’t believe it hung on for another 3 years?

C# is a superb language, it’s a shame it’s not used more often for open source projects.

The only argument people seem to have against it is that it’s maintained by Microsoft - which apparently is the worst thing imagineable. The reality is the Microsoft of today is very different to people’s pre-conceived image. They’ve done a fantastic job with C# and .NET.

.NET has the best documentation of any language I’ve worked with, it makes life so much easier.

Disagree. If that were the case then the evil bit would be entirely redundant

You’re replying to a two year old thread.

I imagine you were browsing “Hot” which has a bug where after scrolling down the feed it suddenly starts including very old content that only has one comment.

Is there actually any source for the reason it was painted over. Given that Disney is insanely protective of their IP it seems just as likely that they were removed for being unauthorised.

Here’s the relevant section of the GPL FAQ:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#IfLibraryIsGPL

If a library is released under the GPL (not the LGPL), does that mean that any software which uses it has to be under the GPL or a GPL-compatible license? (#IfLibraryIsGPL)

Yes, because the program actually links to the library. As such, the terms of the GPL apply to the entire combination. The software modules that link with the library may be under various GPL compatible licenses, but the work as a whole must be licensed under the GPL.
