@connyduck Even projects that would try to erase all files if ran from a Belgian IP address can still be free software. There's no legal way around this.
That thread on the F-Droid forum is ridiculous.-
@connyduck I do believe that putting anti-features in code is against what free software stands for, but this is not a legal issue.
After all, AOSP is free software, too.
I think code used for bootloader locking in upstream Android is free, too.

@kaniini @lain The Patriarch is on his way to you now. Video evidence: https://youtu.be/fx62wOW8oNg -
@diodelass@cybre.space You can write a subnet there instead of a netmask, after the address.

@mono @mangeurdenuage I hope this is not the case of "Nothing is more permanent than the temporary".
Howerever, if she doesn't have a back-up, then the odds of the instance getting back online aren't good, judging by what was left from !loadaverage after the crash. -
@mangeurdenuage No one expected that the expected will come unexpectedly, again.
@kaniini did a better job explaining this than I have.
And yes, I still insist that software is not a service. It's the core of the free software philosophy that the user executing the code should absolutely be in control of what the code does.
Of course when the sources are available, one can simply do:
sed -i "/I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that/d"
Yet that is more of a safe-guard than something to be expected.
And with provided binaries on DRM'd platforms like Play Store one doesn't have that courtesy. Should DRM be considered a feature then? -

@dblaze09 The film? -
@orekix@aria.company @mangeurdenuage There are some memory consumption issues with MariaDB 10.3 on !loadaverage specifically (other installations are unaffected), but I'm giving that one to MariaDB or Oracle MySQL, and not to Debian.

@orekix @mangeurdenuage I have. Not as far as I am aware. -

@profworr@noagendasocial.com This just shows that human faces are not as dissimilar as (most) humans perceive them to be. -
@mangeurdenuage It's a very special of prepping that involves using a petroleum vehicle then :-).
-
@mangeurdenuage As I understand it, @celesteh is saying that in some circles an idea is circulating that a glacial period is coming and the Greenhouse effect will be the salvation.
> It's silly to connote that a subject such as ice age is related to a political party/way of thinking.
It makes sense to me that political "conservatives" (Usonian in particular) would find the idea appealing, as it twists keeping the status-quo as a feature even with the changing climate. -
@kaniini What's even the point when Mastodon doesn't support creating a Vysotsky fan group?

@brainblasted If you really have to… how about "Cartina"?
Italian for fine paper and Russian for a painting. -
@inditoot @alexl What does that even mean, considering !firefox does have agreements with multiple search engines?

@schestowitz I take it security their is based solely on trust, and Chelsea Manning violated that trust.

@ash @mangeurdenuage I've remembered about something: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interbreeding_between_archaic_and_modern_humans#Denisovans
> I would like to point out that if the regions of this discovery had just happened to be inverted, it would be used as incontrovertible evidence of the fundamental genetic inferiority of certain people.
That doesn't appear to be happening with Denisovans. Albeit it may be as it is a lesser known species of humans than Neanderthals. -
@celesteh There's logic to that.
But it'd take a few centuries for impoverished families on a massive scale to acquire enough funds to reduce inequality to statistical insignificance.
And that's completely ignoring politics and other economical factors like universities getting more expensive every passing day (in the US).
And even then this is completely ignoring the least fortunate who are only concerned with survival and not with education, etc. How are they supposed to climb the social lift without support? -
> My dad explaining over dinner that 'the market' corrects for systemic discrimination.
@celesteh Does that mean that "the market" compensates for any attempt to diminish systemic discrimination? -
@noyoushuttheFrankerZupdad By calling them names and driving over imaginary agents of theirs?
-
@ash I always thought that Neanderthals are unappreciated.
I guess I should prepare myself for the opposite. -
@schestowitz That's not shashlik, that's shawarma.
