From what a quick google search told me, RHEL caps out at 13 years.[0] I'm curious what caused Canonical to offer 2 more years of lts support than Red Hat?

The FBI also makes a good argument that adblockers prevent scammers from directing people to malicious sites.

Looks like someone archived the page of firefox-patch-bin[1] and the only thing that stands out about the package itself is that it's supposedly the "Extended Support Release." Besides that it looks like it's depended on by 183 other packages/metapackages. While that seems more interesting, there isn't an archive of all of those packages.

Isn't it interesting how this post has more votes than anything else on the first page, is one hour old, and is currently on page 4. Seems like there's some interesting censorship going on in this website outside the consistent flagging of material deemed wrong-think.

I ctrl-f'd Oregon State and didn't find it in the link you provided. I think you found UofO's endowment: University of Oregon - $1.651

Wikipedia states that OSU's endowment is $829.9 million (2023).[0]

If we were back in the 1930's would you be worrying about the rate[0] of people being diagnosed with left-handedness?[1]

Every time I see this pop up it reminds me of this part of an epsiode of This American Life [0]. At parts its quite difficult to listen to, however it seems like an important thing to be aware of. If they're willing to do this to children, what are they fine with doing to adults? It's beyond words how someone can imagine that this is moral behavior in the pursuit of justice. I don't see how anyone can harass a child like that - already distraught by the death of his sister - and to treat some kid like a murderer for hours on end.

From what I've read the Fedora project has an interest in providing solely open source and non patent encumbered software like codecs. Which sounds like something OBS may infringe on

Thankfully this shouldn't become a large problem, because websites simply don't load that quick

It'd be neat if you could create conditional blocklists. Like only whoever X person AND Y person block will be blocked from my feed. And so on...

I don't think that'd solve the problem, but it would marginally help (and should be better than the status quo)
