The reason is software patents and asinine licensing for HEVC. Thank the greedy fucks in suits for that.

I am ashamed of GitLab.

Don't be. Gitlab has to comply with the law.

It's the law that's broken, not Gitlab.

It’s absolutely ridiculous they took it down even though Nintendo didn’t DMCA the Suyu project directly.

Um, no. If shitty corpo X (ab)uses the DMCA to send you a takedown notice for some project and you also host a fork of the same project, you must take down the fork too.

"You see, while this might be the exact same code, the name is totally different, so we don't have to take it down!" will not hold up in court.

Whether the DMCA request is valid or not is an entirely separate question. You must still comply or open yourself up to legal liabilities.

The process to object to the validity of the request is included in the screenshot.

Depends on how much of our needs would be covered. Not needing to work to survive is different from not needing to work to live a comfortable life which is again different from living a luxurious life.

At least they now allow passwords over 8 characters (yes, serious).

Are you 100% certain they don't just truncate your password to 8 characters?

Why do you feel the need to change phones? Pixel 6 Pro should still be plenty good enough.

If its stock ROM bothers you, you're in luck because Pixels are surprisingly hackable and it's very easy these days.

Distro doesn't really matter here. Choose any that you like.

The link you posted is a post by a mod announcing that they will enforce the policy given to them by the LW admins.

From the modlog I can tell that (presumably) you posted a text post to [email protected] about the policy that was then removed.

If you're posting to [email protected], such posts would obviously be removed because that's A. not on topic (that'd be a topic for [email protected]. ) and B. not a link to an article. The latter is also the reason given for the removal.

Stirring up drama over absolutely nothing usually ends up hurting someone. Could you not?

What a terrible graph. That "huge" spike is a mere 0.5% increase. That might as well be noise.

Don't believe any graph whose y-axis starts at any value but 0 people.

And also tar -the fuck is in this file

Das heißt Städten wird die Autonomie bei Errichtung von Fußgängerzonen (also, die Gestaltung der Stadt) abgesprochen?

Was zum Fick?

Warum saugen wir Deutschen eigentlich so hart am Auspuff?

Stell dir vor du bist zu arm um gerettet zu werden. Das sind ja schon fast Amerikanische Verhältnisse.

Yikes.
