The mind boggles…

Where is this sign, and why is “fuck” not on it (among other words that come to mind)?

The port number on the outside doesn’t have to be the same as the port number on the inside.

You could build Debian from scratch and use your preferred compiler settings.

So, whilst they’re presenting the entire group could distract the speaker with such notifications?

What could possibly go wrong…

The question is even more fraught than you might have considered.

What if you report them to your rideshare company and they do nothing?

As a passenger of a private vehicle where you observe or experience dangerous behaviour, are you required or obligated to report the behaviour to the police?

What if that driver came to collect your teenage child?

I don’t envy your situation, but their income is not your responsibility, your personal safety is.

The platform is owned by Google. By using YouTube in any way, watching, liking, subscribing, commenting, searching, clicking, all of it, you’re “using Google”.

So, the answer is that you cannot use YouTube and not use Google.

If Google is broken up, that might change, but I’m not sure if that will ever happen, what form that might take or if it would ever happen at all.

It goes well beyond bother.

In my opinion, the biggest issue is that software with a GPL licence is not permitted to be distributed without making the source code available, which Red Hat restricted to only paying customers, and in doing so added a licence restriction which is not permitted by the GPL.

They are now profiting off the work of every developer who ever contributed to the software they’re selling and none of those people are getting paid.

That’s a big question, but I don’t trust Red Hat after the stunts they’ve pulled over the years. Here’s a taste.

I’m still a “native” pendant and use Docker to bridge the gap.

I use Debian for anything that matters. The release cadence means that stuff just works and keeps working. You cannot beat the documentation and I’ve been using it for 25 years.

I’m not touching anything Redhat / Fedora with a barge pole.

Not sure what the attraction to Mint is.

Never used OpenSUSE.

I’m beginning to suspect that the recent election results can be explained by one word: Entropy

I’m not eligible to vote in your country. In mine, voting is mandatory and there are no stickers, just democracy sausages to aid in the funding for local polling places like schools and community halls.

That’s like asking for an elephant stamp for wiping your butt after going to the toilet.

Voting isn’t an accomplishment, it’s your duty and the reward is the society you live in.

I’m fairly sure that the price information shown on a Google Search result page is advertising that comes from a different source than the results do.

As far as I know, you could write a plugin for SearXNG to query suppliers and format the output as required.

I think that Google Shopping might be queried in the same way, but I’ve never looked into it deeply.
