My gender is my concern, but you may use any pronoun to refer to me
I think the distinction between data acquisition and data application is important. Consider the parallel of photography; you are legally and ethically entitled to take a photo of anything that you can see from public (ie, you can “scrape” it). But that doesn’t mean that you can do anything you want with those photos. Distinguishing them makes the scraping part a lot less muddy.
Yes. Piracy in the sense of stealing from ships in international waters is different from piracy in the sense of copyright infringement. Thanks for that.
Are you saying that the mere action of scraping is fair use, or that absolutely anything you do with the data you scrape is also fair use?
It doesn’t have a head like that. It places things in a conceptual space, not a numerical space. To it, a number is just an adjective, like a colour. It is learning to play chess by looking for language-like patterns in the game’s transcript. It is never attempting to model the contents of the board in it’s “mind”.
A proper Faraday cage, a truly excellent one, just the most Faraday of all the cages, is easily defeated by physical attacks such as getting your phone cloned when you get mass arrested and summarily released on OR.
Yes, the format demands it; no fault implied on your part, just commenting on how it hits
emacs has been with me since the 16-bit era, across paradigms, across generations, across careers. When I use emacs I think in terms of what the elisp is doing. It’s such a deep and developed relationship, I would be throwing away so much personal power to use anything else.
You’re looking for FreeBSD.
Seeing “.TAR.GZ” in all caps gives me strong feelings of wrongness.
I use a teletype. My scrollback is INFINITE.
You dropped your friggin’ in another thread and I just stepped on it. Pain like Lego.
Two years, then the drive exploded a couple weeks ago and I rebuilt it just now. Doesn’t work out of the box, X11, does, so I’ve never looked into it.
Every time I build a new box or do an upgrade, I try selecting Plasma on Wayland from the login screen. Every time it doesn’t work, I select X11, and never think of it again for another six months to two years.
It is obviously not the same as manually making all these connections and using different apps for each of them and backing them up with git.
I mean, that’s the whole unix philosophy. Rather than one big monolithic app, we use dozens of tiny ones that can all be scripted and work together. I think I’d just use an org-mode file to create the sort of centralized UI you’re describing.
Looking at you, BattleBit.exe
It’s going to be an artifact of the data collection method. The sample size is extremely small and taken during the period where top has never stopped running.
You’re dyslexic, aren’t you?
Sometimes you have a runaway process sucking up another gigabyte of your swap every second and you don’t have a chance in hell of bringing up some kind of system management gui
There’s no rational reason typefaces shouldn’t enjoy protection.
Ran an ISP on a Pentium 90 and a few 486s. Linux and FreeBSD!
