No, salaries are based a pre-tax basis. In other words you’re told you’ll make $120,000 per year, that amount is before taxes.

In District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), the Supreme Court affirmed for the first time that the right belongs to individuals, for self-defense in the home, while also including, as dicta, that the right is not unlimited and does not preclude the existence of certain long-standing prohibitions such as those forbidding “the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill” or restrictions on “the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons”.

Please tell me where the Supreme Court, who is responsible for constitutional law understanding, was wrong?

The constitution is supposed to be a fluid system, designed to be ratified and easy to apply to modern standards, if the country would actually do it, to create a better life for everyone I the United States.

Even the Supreme Court says you are wrong.

The creators are making money from the ads, they probably won’t abandon ship at yt unless they stop making revenue. A lot of the creators on yt rely on the ads to be worthwhile in creating the content.

I agree, yt is getting stupid with their ads, from what I understand they are now including ads in the yt premium subscription aervice, which is supposed to be ad free mind you.

As long as greed dictates content, creators won’t abandon ship, unless they can have ads on the alternatives to make money on.

One thing to look at is you are self-hosting on a local tower turned server.

If you are using a hosting provider, most of them offer domain name registration through their company.

It’s a KWin scrip called Autocompose. Does endeavour ship it by default?

Endeavour installs a mostly default DE when you make your choice of which one to use, so most of the DE’s come as packaged by the devs. If I’m not mistaken Autocompose is a default script included with KDE.

I say mostly, because some parts of the DE you use is incompatible with the Arch ecosystem and disabled by default. For example, Discover on KDE is pretty much unusable on arch/EndeavourOS because the repos aren’t adequately designed for such a setup.

So do snaps and flatpacks. And they are still consider containerized / sandboxed. Appimages are the predecessors to snap and flatpack. The only difference is unlike Appimages they got it right for the most part.

Generally speaking the Appimages integrate with KDE better than all the other DE’s. The codes for Appimages are still containerized from the OS in general as defined in my last post.

Unlike snaps and flatpaks, Appimages aren’t containerized or sandboxed at all. They are only used to bundle (some) dependencies, so you don’t need to rely on packages provided by your distro’s package manager.

You might want to look up what Appimages are as well as what containerization is. To help I have found the following.

AppImage aims to be an application deployment system for Linux with the following objectives: simplicity, binary compatibility, portability, distro agnosticism, no installation, no root permission, and keeping the underlying operating system untouched.

Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppImage#:~:text=AppImage%20is%20a%20format%20for,developers%2C%20also%20called%20upstream%20packaging.

As stated Appimages are containerized/sandboxed as it prevents needing to install any files on the OS.

Containerized applications are applications run in isolated packages of code called containers. Containers include all the dependencies that an application might need to run on any host operating system, such as libraries, binaries, configuration files, and frameworks, into a single lightweight executable.

As you can see, once again, your info is incorrect as this is another example of what Appimages are.

The thing about snaps and app image is they are containerized. The idea behind that is to help keep the apps separate from the main file subsystem by sandboxing them from each other as well as not cluttering your hdd with different versions of the same libraries to make them work.

Because of the sandboxing, once you close the app it stops running in the background therefore there is nothing to get notifications from.

IMHO, this is why snap and app image programs are not advisable for programs you may need notifications from on a, generally, required/needed basis.

As for superconductivity, the only way around that problem is to download from source, compile it and let it run natively on your system in the background, or add it to you auto startup list so it is running at boot time.

Nothing wrong with that. When I see a re-post from X/twitter, or whatever he wants to name it in the future, I happily scroll right by it.

I say let him go bankrupt trying to save it.

Well he is helping it along with the latest talking point that he is going to make X a subscription only platform, aka you must pay to play.

I dropped it when trump was spewing his bs on it. My feed was 90% Trump bs and re-posts. I actively dumped fb, twitter and a few others back in 2019 and My life has been so much better since then.

Like he cares. He bought it for money and political reasons. And now, because of piss poor decisions, the company has been devalued from $44 billion it is now only worth about $4 billion. What makes it so sad is a lot of online companies are following suit thinking they can do what he couldn’t.

You do realize that X is now it’s official name right? Elon changed the name to X and deprecated the twitter name. At the end of the domain registration, he is not going to re-register twitter.com as the domain name, and because he owns the trademark on it, he is going to sue anyone who tries to re-use the domain name.

Not completely true. Are there shot pirates yes, just like there are shit uploaders that think it’s fun to bundle a computer virus with downloadable content.

If it’s something new, like a new book or movie, I will pay for it. The movies/shows I pirate are old and mostly out of circulation, unless they are streaming on some service. I pay for those so their is monetary transactions.

For example, I just recently spent 2 days downloading CHiPs original tv series, even with my high speed broadband it was that slow because there aren’t that many people offering it. Took me 3 days to find it to dl.

Not all piracy is bad. New stuff, ok not cool. But older stuff that has had a good run, the loss of revenue to creator/publisher is so minimal that they won’t feel it.

I’m an ethical pirate, if I think it’s worth watching over and over again I’ll buy it, if it’s available. I won’t pirate software or books.

I have kindle for reading and there is nothing new worth downloading software wise, plus I use linux on my computer, so all my software is free anyway, and if I can’t donate financially I find other ways to help. I’m not a big gamer and when I do game it’s on console, so I do pay for that.

Because they all seem to think their beliefs are the true beliefs of what the Bible teaches. They will always be at war with one another.

The “teachings” of the Bible are all based on how one person interprets it compared to another, the individual churches all believe the same version as they were taught by their religious leaders, who in turn believe their ultimate religious leader, for example the Catholic Church (all variations) follow the pope and his interpretation.

Because they use personally identifying I for other than what you saw. In your comment does that mean you have a right to follow their personal life and invade it then sell it to others? No!

Your problem is you like being a commodity rather than just a consumer. You don’t mind your life being intruded on which could include cc numbers or bank account info. You want to lose your money like that that’s fine. Me personally, they can get out of my life and quit following what I want to do just to make a quick buck. Fuck that, me and my personal information is not for sale! And if anyone seems to think it is, I will stop them as that is my right.

Personally I think all tracking cookies should be banned on the internet worldwide! I am not a commodity.

This is true. However, they need to inform you that they are collecting this data, what data they are collecting, and why, and give you the option to opt out of that data collection.

Just because they can doesn’t give them the right to do so without your explicit permission.

Ubuntu wants you to use snap for all your app needs. I think their plan is to make repos only for os maintenance and installation and nothing else.

Because they listen to people rather than ignore them and then make policy based on how much money they can make from the deal.

This shows me the EU is actually more democratic then the US is.

Wish it was that simple. The problem with the internet, as a whole, is someone figured out they can collect just about everything from your data, with or without cookies, and sell it to big companies.

Everything is about that almighty dollar. We are now the product under the guise of being a consumer.

You want to complain about access being blocked because of where you live, fine just makes you an easy commodity to sell to someone else.

Tbf, you want complete anonymity, stay off the web, don’t use bank accounts or credit cards, not even those like cash app, become a hermit and tell everyone to fuck off as you are not for sale.

In reality, it’s policies, like the GDPR, that are actually looking out for your best interest. Here in America the arguement would be “they’re taking away my freedom” or “the government is overreaching” instead of “Hey, someone actually cares about my privacy in the government!”

Like I have said in another group, people complain about their privacy online and then use the likes of chrome for their browser. We say we care about our privacy, but in the end we are a tool that doesn’t do the job we need done.
