How is it nonsense?

The EU law is that the reject all should be exactly as easy as the accept all button. 1 extra click, however minor of an inconvenience it is, is extra effort. And therefore strictly speaking in violation of the law.

Nothing will ever happen but it's valid criticism.

It is not, but a write amplification of 36704:1 is one hell of an exploitable surface.

With that same Raspberry Pi and a single 1gbit connection you could also do 333333 post requests of 3 KB in a single second made on fake accounts with preferably a fake follower on a lot of fediverse instances. That would result in those fediverse servers theoretically requesting 333333 * 114MB = ~38Gigabyte/s. At least for as long as you can keep posting new posts for a few minutes and the servers hosting still have bandwidth. DDosing with a 'botnet' of fediverse servers/accounts made easy!

I'm actually surprised it hasn't been tried yet now that I think about it...

Charging from the left side isn't all that either, some macbook pro models actually become slower due to thermal throttling because charging from the left creates heat closer to the CPU. Resulting in a significant CPU slowdown.

No no, they are planning to add, nothing about when it's being added yet. This patch is just a very small number of quest blocker fixed.

That is not the correct analogy. Offcourse you can customize it. Just like you can customize or mod the game.

But you won't get the actual designs to the bicycle. You will not get the blueprints to send to a factory to create exact duplicates or with your modifications.

Releasing the source code would allow anyone to copy AND modify or extend the game as they see fit. Including all the inner logic that is normally compiled away.

Piracy or a compiled release without DRM (like GOG) only allows you to play the game and maybe modify some parts of it through modding after a significant amount of effort.

There is also a much more in depth blogpost by Stephen Wolfram about his work for this movie. I don't think it goes much more in depth on the language aspect but he tells a lot more about the process and questions he got from the movie creators.

We are running the above pi tests with an extra (Gradle based) build plugin so that it only runs mutations for the changed lines in that pull request. That drastically reduces runtime and still ensures that new code is covered to the mutation test level we want. Maybe something similar can be done for C or C++ projects.

Exactly. They are being transparant, it looks like it will be an opt-in when the time comes and are already telling you why they are collecting data. Now if they will tell you exactly what data they will be collecting in a short way before asking approval this is a textbook example of how analytics data collection should be done.

Je zou toch verwachten dat nadat alle grondstof prijzen weer gedaald zijn, er minder vraag is dan opbrengst en de orders niet meer ver vooruit gereserveerd zijn de prijzen ook een keer kunnen dalen?

Ik lees in dat artikel alleen maar dat ze langer personeel thuis houden. Blijven produceren en de prijzen iets verlagen lijkt wel iets te zijn wat niet eens meer in mensen op komt...

He can't stream on twitch anymore if he broadcasts on kick though. Twitch just changed their streamer eula to say you cannot stream to any other web based live streaming service while streaming to twitch.

Which in its own might be a reason for people swichtng to kick if they have a YouTube viewership as well.

Twitch also tightened down on sponsorship in streams last week with such strict rules that they backpedaled due to community response. Seeing the timing of this deal makes me wonder if both changes might have played a party in xqc's decision.
