  • Libre (from French) is sometimes used to solve the ambiguity of the word free in the English language, but it sounds kinda awkward in English and there’s certainly no consensus that this should be the official replacement, or that the term free even needs replacement.

    Furthermore, the FSF who originally came up with the idea of “free software” still exists and is still called the Free Software Foundation, though Stallman uses both terms interchangeably.


  • They don’t have nukes as such. They are prepositioned US owned nukes that remain under the custody of the USAF. The part of the base where the nukes are stored is strictly off limits to local personnel.

    What makes them “shared”, is that they are intended to be dropped by planes owned by the host country, and both the government of the host country as well as the US government need to give their authorization to activate and use them.

    So you may as well just consider them as US nukes.








  • US defaultism much?

    This is absolutely not a thing where I live and it sounds quite entitled to expect this level of personal service from an underpaid and overworked worker who’s probably already overbooked and struggling to finish his round on time.

    Here a delivery driver will come to the street facing door of a building, and attempt to deliver with you in person, or if you live up high you can buzz him in to put the package in the shared entrance space, but he’s not going to go on a lone quest to gain access to every single private multitenant building. You’re not home, and haven’t given permission to deliver to your neighbors? Tough shit. Come pick up the package at the depot.

    They don’t want to deal with pushing the buttons to enter the premises

    Why should they have to though? It’s not a delivery driver’s job to jump through various hoops to gain access to a private residence, and that’s not even going into the liability and safety issues that come with it.

    Also, why even bother having a door code if you’re giving it out to every random delivery driver.










  • Yeah no ublock origin really won’t block all that many

    Meh, it’s fairly easy to check this you know. If I turn off uBlock, my pihole logs do turn red. If it’s left on, pihole logs stay mostly green, with nothing suspicious or out of the ordinary getting through.

    the chattiest DNS comes from apps and smart devices, windows and mac laptops etc.

    I don’t have many of those. My work laptop is windows but it connects through a VPN only, and I have my smartphone that I barely use at home.
