It's a great feature - a necessary feature even. Tired using doas Linux port and that feature isn't supported - it was depressing.

Being able to build it yourself is a must: otherwise you can't make/share changes (and use changes from others).

I lean towards a "pay want you want" models (including 0) as DRM is pointless. But no, I do not believe binaries or code must cost nothing for it to still be free software.

Is that Ed from Ed Edd and Eddy?

I treat "AI" as if it isn't conscious btw, I'm arguing you cannot ever know.

We could create an Android that acts so much like a human we would feel emotionally compelled to not do it harm but remain unaware if it can actually suffer.

I think people say FOSS and FLOSS interchangeably and come to say FLOSS due to floss being as established word (dental floss). If you know of "libre" then that you probably know the free software vs open source distintion too and would just choose to say one.

You can charge for free software, for the binary and/or source code - bandwidth/storage ain't free.

Not to take away from the point but the F in FOSS stands for "Free as in freedom" and not free as in price.

You can talk about company "AI" misadventures without a headline claiming to know things you cannot investigate. A sun appears unconscious but only in how unlike it is to humans. Having an experience is knowable to only to the subject having it.

The manufacture should have zero say if their product gets repaired or not. The only person who can give permission to repair it is the owner. It should be illegal to implement tying to lockout parts being used as a replacement. Right to repair

They call it jailbreak because this is an issue of freedom: software freedom

Why are we comfortable with not owning the things we buy :/

Work are chucking out a "Cisco 887VA-M" integrated services router.

Anyone know if I can install some custom OS/firmware via the USB on the back?

I expect this is just e-waste but maybe it has some use as emergency switch :)

I had not heard of a weighted blanket until I saw that image and searched for what it might refer to. Are they useful for adults too? Will ask my ADHD friend if they ever had one, might make a good gift.

The image looks like it could be used as a real emoji (expressing comfort). Who made it? I would like to use the image if permission has been given (e.g. Creative Commons licence).
