something something saying the quiet part out loud
291·1 year agoAbsolute trash article.
like most things on techrights.org; every time I read almost anything on that website, I agree with a lot of the substance and then wonder why it has to make that substance look so bad by adding inaccuracies and/or conspiracy theories into it.
3·1 year agoPlaces like Lignano, Bibione, Caorle AFAIK get a lot of beach tourism from Austria. They’re the closest beaches to our unfortunately landlocked country…
13·1 year agoYou can add new roads (or really anything) with desktop editors like JOSM, iD, Merkaartor, or on Android you can use Vespucci. StreetComplete is intentionally very limited in what it can do so that it’s easy to use, so you can’t add new roads with it.
quick reminder: the project is called “OpenStreetMap”, without an “s” in the end
The wiki is definitely the most authoritative source.
11·1 year agoYes, fighting crime (especially such uncommon crime) is a lot more important than privacy or non-censorship. That is definitely the right attitude for a free society. Nothing bad can come from it. /s
John Perry Barlow was right with his Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace.
pretty sure they don’t, those last things are already (or will be?) banned for young people in Australia :(
If I hadn’t had the Internet growing up, I would have 0 (zero) positive memories of my preteen and teenage years. People who want to take that away from future generations are truly pure evil. I have no other words.
Yes. People interested in news about that should consider subscribing to !bad_internet_bills@lemmy.sdf.org where I regularly post news articles I can find about it. I don’t always crosspost them here.
It’s not very surprising, base64 is just a conversion of the byte stream that makes up a file, so it’s clear that similar-starting byte streams will also start similarly when encoded as base64. But still good to know.
actually surprisingly large
The article is from 2019. I was wondering because my impression was that was pretty old news and common knowledge by now.
In my city they built an even stupider version of this a few years ago, not in a parking lot but in the middle of a busy road crossing.

it’s in the OP under “Comments” (like everywhere in this community); direct link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44765939
8·1 year agoannnnnd it’s bipartisan
The worst bills in the US Congress are always supported by both parties, I suspect so there is no way to vote against them.
Quick reminder that draw.io is no longer free and open source software.
https://github.com/jgraph/drawio
but the sources to build those files are not in this repo. This is not an open source project.
so which is it, are you asking for a friend or for help improving this? :D
They come from completely different heritages.
GNU/Linux is a reimplementation of Unix, an operating system that was originally designed mainly for universities, but also mainframes.
Windows is descended from DOS, an operating system intended for home computers.
Nowadays Windows is the only widely used non-Unix-like OS; GNU/Linux, Android, macOS and iOS are all Unix-like.
If Windows became FOSS, I at least would likely switch to it. It’s really the FOSS philosophy more than anything else that makes me want to use GNU/Linux.
