If the Australian government is going to regulate ex-Twitter, it’s going to be writing a law that applies to all websites (or maybe: all websites above a certain size), including here on the fediverse; not just to ex-Twitter.
I am not seeing any movements by governments that would “restore some freedom for individuals”, anywhere in the world. All I am seeing is censorship.
Somehow I am managing to completely ignore the existence of ex-Twitter as well as any decisions made there. What is being ruined?
Remember when the Internet was nearly unified in believing that governments shouldn’t regulate it, or at least not much?
What happened that I am now reading here a stream of comments that say that Musk is wrong and defend the Australian government? 🙁🤮😡
22·7 days agoUbuntu 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?

Really this question shows how outdated copyright law is; in many countries it prohibits “copying”, but in the age of computers nearly all accessing of information involves “copying” it in some way.
What is the difference between USA and USB?
One connects to all your devices and accesses your data, the other is a hardware standard.
“how to kill orphaned children in Java”
what do you mean Java is also the name of an island
There are cars where you might need to add gas, and ones where you don’t. The above definitely worked in the car I learned to drive in.
You are right that if your car isn’t level (especially if you want to move uphill), the process is somewhat more challenging and you need to be careful not to roll down the hill, but I have never been taught to use the handbrake even in those situations and have not ever done it that way (for context, I live in Austria, i.e. I have driven a manual transmission car on mountainous roads many times by now).
Yeah why would you go on a microblogging platform if you didn’t want to see “weird political shit”?
Put your feet on the brake (right foot) and clutch (left foot), press both fully. Release the handbrake.
Put the first gear or the reverse gear in, depending on the direction you want your car to go at first.
Remove your right foot from the brake completely, the left one from the clutch at the same time very slowly until you can feel that the car is moving. When that happens, keep it in that position for 2 or 3 seconds, you will get a feeling for it over time. Then release the clutch completely.
After you’ve released the brake, you can already slowly and carefully press the gas pedal if you want, that will cause the car to get moving faster than if you don’t.
“Can you program in Java?”
“Yes, if you pay for the plane ticket.”
I’ve been thinking since my early teens if not earlier that copyright is an outdated law in the digital age. If this dispute leads to more people realizing this, good.
That is the reason why you’re glad you don’t have kids? Because if you did you wouldn’t be able to control what information they receive?
There is no inherent security problem with changing the content of the clipboard. That doesn’t do anything until the user pastes it somewhere; of course if that “somewhere” is a command prompt, then that is a security problem, but users really ought to check what they’re pasting there before they execute it (yeah, I know, “ought to”).
It would be possible to do it the way you say, but that would mean that the user would need to allow that for many websites; I don’t think copying from apps like Google Docs would work anymore, and “here’s your access token, click here to copy it to the clipboard” features certainly wouldn’t.
The screenshot in the OP would then probably be changed to include a step “click: allow clipboard access”; I think most people who fall for the screenshot in the OP would also fall for that.
