That is interesting, my comment got removed.

I think the commentor meant in regard to US restrictions that may get imposed on a project, since they have odd ITAR/EAR controls. Moving sonewhere with less export restrictions could alter choices of development.

i don't know what exactly was in question in the kernel, that the lawyers had to worry about, but From EAR rules... "note that open source software can still be subject to export control measures if it includes technologies or functionalities that are regulated. In such cases, specific controls may be applied to prevent the unauthorized export of these technologies or functionalities."

IF something was deemed controlled, it makes sense to pull it so kernel can ship anywhere, and whomever received it can do their own tweaks

Mud Runners. Surprisingly a good game if you like mishaps that provide challenges. The soft terrain physics are fun just to watch as your truck plows through, too.

I bought a Front242 CD from a record shop once, got home to find out the staff had grabbed Steely Dan CD an put that in the case accidentally. (The days before tamper proof display adapters, where the media was stored behind the counter)

Sure maybe best cloud gaming experience, but is an avid gamer really going to switch to sonething like that. I'm not a hard core gamer, but I do find game delay stuff annoying, I can only imagine playing over cloud is worse

Yep, cars speeding through don't generate business. Doug Ford is just a giant douchbag

Wasn't what stopped google was poor user experience? Trying to prerender all possible frames so there is no lag when user changes direcrion etc on streamed gaming seemed like a waste of resources also.

Hmm, that sucks. I was disappointed they trashed it almost as soon as it started...like a Killed By Googke thing

It is also taking on technical debt, as each revision can come with OS quirks, and you now have to support X numbet of versions of hardware/software troubleshooting.

I never check usernames or comments. It is about the conversation at hand.

I assume sone people are sensitive of pronouns if they have transitioned or altered their pronouns, but simple catch phrases should not get you banned--if it was clearly not harrassment.

I try to be cautious of gendering and use they/them when possible, but also i feel individual people need to realize the world does not revolve around just them as an egocentric bubble, and sometime shit happens and you have to deal with your feelings about it, and either A) ask for what you need, or B) move on. Having mods protect your feelings for a perceived slight does not prepare you for the outside world of actual interaction with humans.

Again, anyone please don't take this as condoning purposeful harassment, bullying of those not in the boomer view of gender. I grew up as a cismale that did not follow the normal idea of what a boy or man is. I was the artsy, poetry type that had mostly female friends. This caused toxic males to label me gay. Cuz gay to hang out with women, LOL.

On a funny note my as a bearded man standing at the pharmacy counter, my pharmaciat called me "Sir Or Madame" as one phrase. They clearly had just taken a course on inclusivity, or have something in them that made them respond per the exact script corporate presented. There wasn't even a need to address me with an honorific, they could have just said Next, or I can help you now.
