They’re not actually unconnected. The skills built on recreational software piracy simply remain useful for industrial software piracy and sanctions-avoidance.

Oh yeah, that’s a thing. Probably need to sprinkle some backslashes or something in there.
Gotta close that bracket tho
Does it matter, unless there’s an agreement that says the US (or some other place where Mozilla actually operates) will enforce Russian law?
Sure, and they can regulate it by blocking access to Mozilla. That’d be within their authority.
That doesn’t mean Mozilla has to answer to them. Mozilla would be within their rights to ignore Roskomnador.
Whether they should is another matter but they don’t have to respond.
operating within that country,
That’s kind of an important detail there… as far as I know Mozilla does not operate within Russia.
I mean… yes? Generally laws only apply within the borders of their jurisdiction.
What, are the Russian police going to come to the US and arrest the CEO of Mozilla Corporation?
Mozilla, as a law-abiding organization, must at least acknowledge the requests of a regulatory agency within its own country.
TIL that Mozilla is a Russian company.
But seriously why the hell would Mozilla be obliged to acknowledge this request? Do they have offices in Russia?
Those are not 2x1 tiles.
There is only one edition of Brass: Birmingham. Are you thinking of Brass: Lancashire?
What a confusing headline.
Today I learned that you can “agree” to fines.
What’s with the scare quotes around “support”?
Is there any reason this 5% number still holds true? Back in the days of 40 MB hard drives it made sense to make sure the system didn’t totally run out while root was fixing the low disk situation … but these days even 1% is still several gigabytes of space, not likely to run out that quickly.
Yes… I’d classify context as a reboot of latex.
I’d say only open/libreoffice fits that.
Edit: maybe Tex/latex/lyx too, but context is not.
I’m familiar with “dud” in both contexts. Just never heard “never make a dud” as an expression.
There are many instances like that. Systemd vs system V init, x vs Wayland, ed vs vim, Tex vs latex vs lyx vs context, OpenOffice vs libreoffice.
Usually someone identifies a problem or a new way of doing things… then a lot of people adapt and some people don’t. Sometimes the new improvement is worse, sometimes it inspires a revival of the old system for the better…
It’s almost never catastrophic for anyone involved.
Probably, yeah. Depends on a few other things (drive age, SMART test results, how risk-averse you are…)
But at least it’s worth thinking about.
No. I just don’t kid myself, I know I’ll never read it.
