Re: "Can't blame a business person..."
Oh yes we can! YTF not?!?
Just because theyr'e "a business person" doesn't make a blameworthy idiot any less of a blameworthy idiot.

A minute with a non-conductive, thin, sharp, implement removed all the fluff and now it works fine!...an ordinary wooden match or toothpick. Or, if even that is too thick (many toothpicks and all matches are, I think), whittle it a little thinner with a sharp knife.
Of course I found this out the day after I'd bought a new phone to replace the “dead” one.

...I notice that so did I. Dunno why, for just noticing that "bazza"'s comment had (at least) a "1" in the "Downvotes" column... "Yup, it did" doesn't mean that was from me. FWIW, I still see a blue up-arrow next to "Upvotes", which means that one of those currently 14 upvotes was mine.
As noted elsewhere, we're rapidly heading toward systemdOSI've been saying that for years; it's a great relief to finally see that others also are recognising it for what it is.
any day now he'll reinvent containers.As others here have pointed out, apparently he already has. Oh well, if nothing else, perhaps it will serve as confirmation so more people will start to see what's going on.
Seen her referred to as the mother of the daughter who died (plus another one) once or twice in media reports.
So apparently Lynch at least wasn't the type to, like so many tycoons, dump Dumpy Old Mom for a newer-model Bimbo Trophy Wife. Speaks for his integrity, raises my impression of him a notch.
> and his daughter died with him leaving wife/mother behind.
At a guess, with her surname different from his and the daughter's, I'm thinking perhaps wife/stepmother. You know, once they make their billions, these guys often upgrade to new cars, domiciles, boats... and wives.
(Except I think I saw somewhere the boat is actually hers. Dunno whether she's independently wealthy, or it was a "write it on the wife so they can't take it from me" hedge against taxes and court cases.)
(Or, adding them up: Ignorant + unimaginative = stupid.)
So please feel free to explain how you think such a lifting keel mechanism would work,You don't think they had electric power on board that luxury superyacht to power a winch? Or, as apparently was the case here, a hydraulic pump? (Or any of the myriad other tried-and-true ways of converting power into movement, like, say, a rack-and-pinion system.)
and maybe where they would keep it when it was retracted.Just like on any tiny lifting-keel dinghy, in a shaft in the center of the vessel. Sure, the keel is much bigger than on a dinghy, but so is the craft itself. So it fits and works pretty much exactly the same way, only on a larger scale.
Like, duh.
I haven't read up on the Chamberlain accident, but the comment you replied to talked about a country road. Are there usually sidewalks bustling with crowds for a pusher hitman to hide among on the country roadfs where you're from?
These conspiracy theories don't only look absolutely dranged in themselves, but make the people spouting them look even more so.
The woman who hit him apparently stayed at the scene and reported herself to police. How many shady hitmen, male or female, do that?
So you're down to one single "freak" accident; nothing there _to_ co-incide, so not even co-incidence.
The yacht sinking being an accident is not at all impossible, so don't eliminate it. Which leaves it far more probable than any silly conspiracy theries.
...tap in a PIN at the POS (interpret as you like) terminal.
Would be cool if you could set the up to follow the card-holders chosen preference: "Never" (for he gullible), "Random / every X(10?)th payment + on bigger amounts" (as seems to be the default now, at least where I live), or "Always" (for the more paranoid among us).
Generative AI is a system that can be asked to retrieve significant portions of the data fed into it.Well, that's easily fixed, then: Remove that retrieval capability, and now it's magically legal!
Whether that is in accordance with the spirit of the law, though...? (Not to even mention "fair" or "just".)
From Mother Beeb herself: Even in peaceful countries be ready for a siren blast (emphasis added).
Well, “klaxon”, more or less. See Wikipedia | Siren (alarm) and Wiktionary | siren (noun, sense 7). I'm pretty sure it was this sense of the word they meant.
“Siren” also has the advantage of being exactly the same word in many languages, whereas “klaxon” is pretty much limited to English – and Italian and Catalan, judging from Wikipedia's “Other Languages” links. Which refer to car horns, not general alarm devices... Because that's what “klaxon” redirects to even on English WP. Seems it's your usage that is parochial, not the SSH developers’.
A few weeks later, I was back indoors at the dinner table. Which entailed a daily dance of lifting the monitor up onto the table after breakfast, and then back down onto a spare chair after work and before dinner, so said dinner could be had at the dinner table.
One day a few weeks into this dance – can't recall if it was in the morning or the afternoon – I dropped the damn thing, the front surface hit the top of the backrest of a chair, and cracked.
Maybe the actual picture element has come down in price enough that I could get it replaced soon... Not holding my breath, though – 43-inch 4K real-computer-monitor picture elements are probably still darn expensive.
I'll probably go for a couple of 4K TVs in stead, so I can swivel one of them to vertical. (Have gotten an actual desk to keep them on, and a room to keep the desk in, in the meantime.)
The only way they could absorb whatever new developments the open source community comes up with on the fork is if what they absorb it into is also under an open source license. So, first off, switch the order of your “absorb the fork, open source their version again”.
And then the next step, turning it closed-source again... That's only possible one of two three ways:
1) Rip out all those contributions. (Provided they were contributed under a proper Copyleft license. How's Tofu licensed?) Then they wouldn't gain anything from the whole exercise.
2) Acquire copyright assignments from all contributors whose code they want to include. (Again, same caveat as above.) You see that happening? I don't.
3) If OpenTofu is licensed under some idiotic ultra-“free” license. (How is Tofu licensed?!?) It should be obvious enough by now that this serves no purpose except enabling precisely the scenario you describe, so... Honestly, if the Tofu people have been so utterly moronic, I can't even find the energy to be sorry for them. Nobody but themselves to blame if it's so.
there are a lot of arbitrary hurdles in HAMradio still...What's with the capitals? It's not an acronym.[ . . . ]
The whole point of a HAM license...
