It would be for the best if public transport were good enough everywhere that you wouldn’t have to drive a vehicle with alcohol in your system.

If someone couldn’t pass a driving test, they shouldn’t be driving. This should apply to everyone, elderly or not. It’s just that elderly people are less likely to be in as good of a condition as when they got their license for the first time.

I agree, and it could work like that here. (your driver’s license is only valid for a certain time) But as far as I know, you only need to retake the tests when applying for renewal if your license expired multiple years ago. Otherwise, you only have to fill out some forms.

At least old people & those who’ve had their license taken away need to redo their tests, which is better than nothing, but not enough in my opinion.

It’s not reasonable to assume that everyone has that much control in any situation. Removing yourself from a situation is not always possible. What can you do if it’s caused by your environment, like family, school, etc.?

Life does have challenges & there always exists someone who can be miserable in a given situation. That doesn’t mean that everything should be normal.

You can definitely affect some things & you might be able to choose how you see some other things. Still, some things are outside your control or “as they should be”.

How would it exolain Stockholm? Radiation has nothing to do with radiation & popular porn categories do not depend on population size (it’s largest % of population in an area, so more niche categories could be more easily popular in smaller areas). I don’t think that population heat map syndrome applies here.

It’s a number, and bigger numbers are always better, right?

Can confirm.

He was a murderer, but that doesn’t make the death penalty any less inhumane.

Edit: humane -> inhumane

Is that really enough? Not an expert on USA law, but isn’t he protecting himself from legal consequences by pardoning himself? A leftist (super-)majority should be enough, though.

That’s true about personal devices, but at least my server doesn’t have nano installed. Though, in that case, you might manage with sshfs or something similiar. Also, for the ‘Learn Vim’ step, you only need to know the absolute basics, like entering input mode, saving & quitting.

Using Vim on other people’s computers may not always work. I know someone who remapped ‘next match’ from ‘n’ to something else, though --clean helps with such configurations.

Also, nano may not always be installed.

The safest way to edit a file on someone else’s machine for a emacs “user” might be something like emacs -q || nano || vim --clean || vi --clean || vi, assuming a sane shell. (the || vi --clean step is probably unnecessary, becuse if it’s supported, it’s just vim, which would then also be available)

No, no. You’re supposed to drop tables, not throw them.

I’d recommend attempting to scam ten thousand euros or pounds instead. Likely more stable, given the current situation.

Does it really matter? Just hook it up to reddit & let an AI interpret if the responses are positive or negative.

According to the source, Goldman & Bakunin.

In proof of work, the client performs (relatively) slow & expensive calculations to prove that it’s not spam. If you tried to make too many connections, the work would add up, preventing you from affecting the availability of the service.

For PoW to work, the server needs to generate a challenge, then the client needs to solve it and return the answer. JavaScript can do this without any input from the user.

For JavaScriptless PoW, you need to find a way to perform those slow calculations without access to a programming language.

Like I said in my previous comment, solving the challenge can happen outside of the page, after which the user could paste the answer to a normal HTML form, for example. This allows PoW to work without JS, but requires user interaction & eternal tools.

I don’t know about Dread, but Tor has built-in PoW now. Since Tor runs outside of the document/tab, unlike JS, it can do a lot more. Tor’s PoW happens invisibly between the network request & response, making it unobtrusive & bypassing JS entirely.

It might be pretty difficult to implement the work part of proof of work without JS in a practical way. Of the three languages available on the web, HTML, CSS & JS (+ WebAssembly, which requires a bit of JS IIRC & would probably not be available) JS is the only one that allows you to perform the work in a sane way. (It might be possible to use CSS magic with remote resources, but that has its own problems if it’s even possible.)

It would be possible to use a dedicated program or another website to perform the work, but it would be far from seamless to users.

The Linux kernel is licensed under GPLv2, not v3. The third version of the license forbids tivoization (vendoring unmodifiable copyleft software). Also, the GNU coreutils aren’t limited to Linux.

Unlike the other alternative coreutils, uutils focuses on GNU compatibility. If you depend on GNUisms, uutils allow you to unGNU & unGPLv3+ your system.

Isn’t providing free gas to the undesirables un-American, unpatriotic, communist, socialist, fascist, etc.?
