“Copyright holders who initiated the blocking are required to monitor the blocked websites to ensure they still meet the criteria for blocking. If the conditions are no longer met, they must inform the Clearing House, which then notifies the ISPs to lift the block,”

They have no incentive to monitor and unblock them, it would just be more work (and therefore cost them more) to do this. When the list of blocked sites isn’t even public, there’s no way for them to be held to account unless someone sets up a service to check - just like this student did.

No idea, didn’t do anything wrong and they were fine with it all until they suddenly closed my account. I too would like to know what I did wrong.

They disabled my account without any notice, I tried to login to see why my VM wasn’t responding and found they’d deactivated Oracle cloud services. It’s also difficult to get in touch with support as there’s multiple different portals and with the cloud services disabled I struggled to find a way to raise a relevant ticket. When they eventually responded they gave some generic BS about their ToS.

My suggestion for anyone using Oracle free tier is stay on it if you want, but be prepared for the eventuality that they shut everything down without notice or access to your data.

Make sure you have backups, they randomly shut mine down after a couple of years

Hacker’s Keyboard

I like unexpected keyboard, it’s also on F-Droid

You could look at setting up a discord bridge on the matrix server to bridge messages between the two. Pine64 have had something like that for quite a while on their discord & matrix.

Also echoing what’s been said already, I did initially think this was some air pods style product from Pine64, as they prefix almost anything they make with Pine

Right, but you asked why not type it, I was giving you a reason why. That’s also why I put in the disclaimer about having your hand on the mouse.

If you’ve just opened a new tab, your hand is on the mouse and the page you want is one click away, why bother typing?

Yeah, it’s not FOSS, but sleep as android is great. You can set various “captchas” that need to be completed to turn the alarm off, you can connect it to smart home stuff to turn on/off lights or open curtains and the general customisability for the alarm settings is extensive.

Or an indentured slave to the British empire having your kids eaten by cannibals because you didn’t make your rubber picking quota.

WTF are you referring to here? I mean I’m guessing that you’re referring to a historical event, rather than making shit up?

Looks like the 5.6.1-2 release on Arch moved from using the published GitHub releases to just using the git repository directly, which as I understand avoids the exploit (because the obfuscated script to inject the exploit is only present in the packaged tarballs and not the git repo itself)

Why even bother having swap at that point?

I use Arch on a Framework 13 and 125% scaling in KDE. It works fine and I honestly forget that it’s not at 100% scale. The only big issue I’ve seen is when you have multiple monitors with different scaling, some applications can get a bit confused, especially if the edge of the window is touching the edge between two monitors with different scaling.

Wow, you must be able to chop loads of wood with all those axes 🪓

OP tagged Linux in the post and that specific tag actually links to !linux@lemmy.ml resulting in the Mastodon post being posted to the community

Anyone that still wants a supported version of win 10, look into Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC (2021) - supported until 2032 and can be activated by MAS with HWID

Until they randomly ban you and shut down your free services

I thought running rm -rf /dev/* was a good idea, I was sure worst case scenario […]

Worst case scenario:

They have installation instructions on the Github
