I’m not sure it’s a “calculated insult” but it did read a but oddly (I assumed initially that it was referring to someone else).

Yeah. My choice of words was a bit unnecessarily inflammatory. I struggled to find the words for how weird a choice of introduction it is, but don’t mean to actually assign malice.

I don’t really think the article author meant anything by it necessarily.

Your point about the context of the cat relationships makes sense. Probably why they went for it.

I find this outcome delightful for all the compliance mandated organizations that are leaching with no intention to contribute back.

It could be really helpful for developers at pure leech organizations to make a case for being ready to contribute in an agile manner.

Now they’re all stuck waiting on either a good Samaritan, or their lawyers to get out of the way of progress.

I have little doubt that the fix has been committed to private forks dozens of times already, of course.

Synology Drive does what you want, if you bought a Synology NAS. Look for the Synology Drive or DS Drive app for each of your operating systems.

Whatever you’re using, I find it helpful so to setup Samba shares, since most operating systems can talk to it.

Some command line utilities that you may wish to schedule, if not using a sync app:

• I’ve heard great things about KDE Connect, which supports a bunch of platforms.

• On Windows: robocopy.exe

• On Linux: rsync

• On Mac: rsync

• On Android: I don’t have a non-Synology favorite, right now. KDE Connect looks promising.

• On iPhone: I’ve heard of these “eyes” phones. People seem to like them…

Edit: I see you have Syncthing. Disregard the above.

For NAS to NAS backups, I do prefer RSync.

Mini Motor Racing might be a good match. It has some DLC available (additional cars), but none of it is necessary to enjoy the game.

MineTest is an open source game engine that allows running various open source Minecraft clones.

Tennant called transgender critics “a tiny bunch of little whinging f*ckers who are on the wrong side of history, and they’ll all go away soon.”

Is the real headline here. And good for him.

I’d rather not give what’s her name any more attention over this crap.

Also, calling Tennant a “Harry Potter actor”, while true, feels like a calculated insult to a man who has played Doctor Who, The Purple Man, and Crawley.

The approach I’ve seen most is using semantic versioning for releases, and having a continuously upward counting (not bothering to reset) build number for everything in between.

Sweet. Welcome to the cult of Debian.

We (Debian users and contributors) are inevitable. Our quiet satisfied computing cannot be stopped, only delayed.

We should consider getting some fancy robes and a few club houses, though. The only thing that can make Debian better is cookies and tea.

Would you trust this “wallet” tho lol

Hell no. I just kicked Google out of my life for the same crap. Ugh. But I’ll laugh too, because it’s either that or cry.

I wouldn’t trust them as a lone voice on something, but if other groups come to the same conclusion, sure.

As a Privacy nerd, I agree with the conclusions in the article, for what it’s worth. We do see a lot of “privacy” law proposals lately that are anything but.

I don’t think things will get better, on this front, until the average person better understands privacy rights and risks.

I can’t say I’m shocked. But I am disappointed.

You’re not alone in that.

I also reread your comments sometimes with a deep sense is satisfaction.

(I’m kidding. Although I did check your comment history to make sure you weren’t a monster before even making that joke.)

True. I don’t post the license prominently, but my comments are Creative Commons, Attribution, Share Alike

Okay, I’m actually kidding about misunderstanding which bit of my comment your reply was to.

Yes, it’s great that MineTest is open source! And the mod community is impressive.

My comments are pure Internet gold. I’m actually only here to read my own comments. It helps me remember how brilliant and humble I am.

My posts help people discover MineTest. It’s pretty great, and it’s free.

Lunchtime, doubly so!

Ooh. Good reference! Nice!

Your “laws” seem to have lots of exceptions when you need them to

Let it be known that I am a generous and benevolent ruler.

Yeah. I understand what they’re saying, but they’re wrong, based on past court cases.

Defining “full equal service” in a way that carves out big portions (like knowing what the lyrics are) in ways that fully able bodied people take for granted - has gone badly for companies that let it go to court.
