  • The general feeling of documentating things

  • Although it's pretty easy to stumble upon some guide that you don't understand that gets you to enable dev mode. Not saying it happens a lot, but there's not a very high bar for the test for enabling dev mode.

  • Okay...? Your point?

  • How is it not transformative and intentional to reinterpret neurological signals as music?

  • I mean it also means I inherently have an off-site backup, which is important given that my home occasionally gets raided by the police. I'm not worried about data access since I use FDE on everything, but data loss is a real concern.

  • I know what you mean; I think it would be hurtful to people with Parkinson's, but whatever, I luckily don't have Parkinson's so not much point arguing it.

    Characterising involuntary but normal phenomenon as intentional or artistic is maybe a little less gross, but still asinine.

    That seems like a very bizarre take. Isn't that a very common artistic device, to find creative interpretations of natural phenomena, and to imagine intention where there is none? I mean, art is subjective so maybe that's just your personal taste, but it seems like a strange thing to be offended by to me.

  • It seems to be the journalist presenting it as such, but in any case, I don't think the artists are suggesting it's equivalent to what the guy made when he was alive. It's an interesting artwork riffing off of the fact that the person whom the DNA belonged to was a musician. That also seems like a pretty disrespectful way to talk about people with Parkinson's.

  • That's a pretty misleading headline. The news article is about a cool art installation, in which an artist has used a deceased composer's DNA to produce electrical signals that are interpreted as music. Still cool, but it's not "composing music" in the same sense as the alive musician was composing music.

  • I rent because of government surveillance; I want my server in a different country.

  • It's not an outlandish amount, but for instance I have my own VPS where I host a variety of services, and it still has under 1TB storage. Most hobbyists who rent a VPS would have less storage than that.

  • how much do you donate to projects?

    Jump

  • If/when I have money to spare, I share that money by a function of how much I use a piece of software, and how much the project needs funding (so a combination of costs vs income). So generally the projects I donate most to are the ones I use daily, and also are either more obscure or more expensive to maintain.

  • Design vs. Implementation

  • The implementation is cute. I would like that plushie.

  • Given the US adults I see on the internet, I would hazard a guess that they're right.

  • Just direct it into a file, read the script, and run it if you're happy. It's just a shorthand that doesn't require saving the script that will only be used once.

  • Check your DVDs for disc rot — Warner Bros. says it’s replacing them

  • I don't know about the US specifically, but oftentimes, and definitely where I'm from, laws can have a small amount of "common sense" leeway and judges can find justifications for rulings if they want to rule a particular way. e.g. I have pirated games that I legally bought because there's literally no functioning "official" download link anymore, if anyone were to ever prosecute me for that, even if it were illegal technically a judge could find a way to rule it lawful out of sympathy or whatever other reason, if they wanted to. A lot of the time it's "the government can't have possibly intended this law to be enforced this way, therefore I rule XYZ".

    In any case, as you said, I've never heard of anyone being pursued for that. And if it's not enforced, it's not a law.

  • The state should be purely passed through function inputs and outputs

  • I'm not talking about "AES", I'm talking about communism. By the definition of "communism = AES" then communism doesn't abolish class, private property, the value-form, nations, etc.

    Anarchism distinguishes itself from communism principally by an inherent opposition to hierarchy, and an opposition to many of the organisational forms that communists may advocate for or participate in, eg communist parties, councils, and any kind of structure that could constitute a hierarchy. And anarchists are inherently opposed to centralisation, and so on.

  • Only if you use privacy as the opposite of public. "Privacy", though, generally refers to counter/non-surveillance. It's not surveillance to be able to access data that you explicitly publish publicly.
