What are the use-cases, and when would such a policy have led to a drastically different outcome (in the case of a crime being committed, industrial espionage, or what-have-you)?

If I have a laptop encrypted with luks or whatever, then what? What are the consequences of non-compliance?

Anecdotally, my Aunt had banned all guns and violent toys from her house. One morning, after serving breakfast, she noticed that my cousin had bitten his toast into the shape of a gun and was making "pew-pew" motions. They laugh and laugh about that. It is what it is.

This old saw again?

Shit. Just don't use Ubuntu. The writing is on the wall.

t. Not a Linux user.

Google it bro

OpenBSD dabs on this list from the towering arches of the heavens.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at this level of pedantic cherry-picking, but yet... I still find myself bristling.

No, like choose to follow Sweden's example.

Time will show.

Virus going to do what it's going to do. People can choose to stay home but this shelter in place stuff is wrecking the lives of the poor and the people who are most vulnerable.

Tcl/Tk dabs on your gui frameworks from the unreachable pinnacle of the heavens.

Canonical always has tried to differentiate themselves, and they just can't execute. Remember Unity, Mir, Juju, upstart and all the other failed shit they've come out with? Snap is just more of the same. I don't want to run that garbage on my desktop. I don't need more daemons and forced auto-updates and all the baggage.

I strongly recommend anyone similarly frustrated to check out debian, which is a fantastic distro. Thanks to Kevin for posting this, but if you're using Ubuntu and disabling snap, you're fighting against the current and I have to imagine it's going to be increasingly difficult with subsequent releases.

Looks like it's affecting git operations for me.

Yikes.

my friend, I call him "150".

Yikes

UX careerists are clowns who chase trends and aesthetics over quality and function.

a pandemic ravaging unchecked through the entire population would be having an even worse effect

That's not a fact. That's your opinion.

Missing the point all over the place.

It really sucks you can't run your own webserver and host your own videos.

I don't like zoom either, but what exactly made them the HN punching bag of the month? Ad/surveillance giants like Google or FB are typically spoken of with notes of reverence and awe on here. Zoom gets lit-up for sending data to FB, but FB gets a pass? I don't know I just can't get into the mood. extinguishes torch in moat.

I prefer 4:3 grainy shit from the 90s to a slick cg any day.

I've used python with gstreamer to create my own music player as well. It was a fantastically enjoyable project and I use it for hours every day. Strongly recommend it for anyone who wants a fun challenge (and who is finicky about how they listen to music).

How do you log into stuff on your phone, or when you don't have your password db and app installed?

Nice username for such a comment. I approve!

Did you bother to read? It's about the combinatorial explosion that happens when you need to support lots of configurations. It's apolitical.

I'd suggest that you try those suggestions (direct contact, then escalate privately) before rejecting them.

fvwm is like the pinnacle for obsessive configuration. I spent a couple hours over a weekend setting it up and thought it was really neat. The man pages and official website are very thorough, but I found this guide the most helpful getting started:

Yes, and the trend towards codes of conduct and ethical licenses are producing projects ripe for this sort of hijacking.

The original idea was great, but people have gamed it so hard that it's falling apart because of lack of trust (in my opinion).

Thanks I didn't see this.

Memcached doesn't pander or resort to marketing to achieve a userbase (compare to redis/labs). It's a great piece of software engineering and I absolutely respect that there's no gimmick, no bullshit. Just a lot of hard work given away for free. Great work!

With python the only thing that matters is the workload.
