Ubuntu supports a wider range of devices than Debian? Since when? I was under the impression that Debian supported all or nearly all architectures the Linux kernel supports, Ubuntu only a few popular ones?

No, it’s possible that there needs to be some kind of reform, but the solution is certainly not to make the judiciary entirely subservient to the executive.

If it’s in the public domain, it’s almost certainly legal. I don’t have the general answer to your question.

Really this question shows how outdated copyright law is; in many countries it prohibits “copying”, but in the age of computers nearly all accessing of information involves “copying” it in some way.

You’re literally opposing the existence of an independent judiciary, which is a fairly important thing for a liberal democracy.

Fortunately no one is forced to use it in a world where OpenStreetMap and apps that use it exist (OSM is exactly as good as volunteers made it).

I think it mainly means that Google invests a lot more money in the quality of its navigation for cars than bicycles, meaning that they think it’s pretty likely that the cycling directions might lead you into a place where it might not be a good idea to cycle.

The Internet used to be a common resource and information system.

Now it is a propaganda warzone.

OT but: How does this Mastodon/Lemmy integration even work? OP seems to be posting on Mastodon but we are commenting on Lemmy which makes everything look confusing.

It still is a website too, that was never abolished.

I think the problem is most people can tolerate anything except the outgroup.

Google Maps seems to have been launched in 2005, so it did exist, though maybe not as a smartphone app.

Honestly I still think that to some extent; at least I think it would be like that if we didn’t have corporate social media showing us things only very selectively, but had something structured like old web forums where there was not even a way to sort by popularity.

later than 2005 for most people, the first iPhone was released in 2007, first Android phone in 2008, those things made a lot more people practically able to access the Internet from outside, and even then it took until 2009 to 2011 for many people to get one

What is the difference between USA and USB?

One connects to all your devices and accesses your data, the other is a hardware standard.

Nick Fuentes was born in 1998, so it’s been a few years since he was 18.

Also relevant: teenage me thought the future would be awesome because people like me would be in power. Nick Fuentes is several years younger than me, I would classify him as having more power than me nowadays (after all, journalists report on his opinions about things; journalists do not report on mine), so we can tell that my prediction was very wrong.

Of course you can use XML that way, but it is unnecessarily verbose and complex because you have to make decisions, like, whether to store things as attributes or as nested elements.

I stand by my statement that if you’re saving things to a file you should probably use XML, if you’re transferring data over a network you should probably use JSON.

Yes and it is a good thing we don’t anymore.

IMHO: XML is a file format, JSON is a data transfer format. Reinventing things like RSS or SVG to use JSON wouldn’t be helpful, but using XML to communicate between your app’s frontend and backend wouldn’t be either.
