Yay! Depends on their motivations, I wouldn't stereotype them either way. I'd say there can be hipsters among punks. I haven't dug into this, but I'd instinctually position punks about being "against the establishment", not just "being different". It's not about them, as it is with hipsters...

For all these cases, in my opinion, the critical question is: would they still do the same if no one knew about it? If they had no one to tell, no one to feel superior to, no one to claim moral high ground against. A less critical, but still meaningful question is would they do the same if it...

There is a difference between using linux because it is different and using it to be different. The former implies it somehow matches better to what you expect and want from it. The latter implies you don't actually care how it works, as long as using it makes you different from others. People...

If the main reason for using it is just to be different, then yes. It's the motivation that counts.

I guess when people identify as opposed to something a majority readily adopts they tend to define a group of their own. Some people are drawn to these smaller underdog groups just because they're not the "sheep". Typically these sorts of people find all kinds of rationales for their choice...

Wow, someone actually recognized it from that as well :P

Calling it property was the best move the copyright extremists have done so far. It evokes associations to tangible property, for which scarcity is a natural state, contrary to the intangible, where it must be enforced artificially. That's my main problem with the term. Copyright, patents and...

Nice. I'll upload the PND later today. PNDManager 1.4.2.1 is now available on the repo: Fixed a bug that caused libpnd to scan the PND files twice after a download

Contemporary art, be it music, movies, games or paintings document the history of culture and society. There's no such thing as "enough art", because there's never any "future art" already made. For example the types of games made document well the advances in technology and changes in society...

I upgraded a package, here's the result. Looks okay to me? $ inotifywait -m -r -e create -e close_write -e move /media/sd1/pandora Setting up watches. Beware: since -r was given, this may take a while! Watches established. /media/sd1/pandora/appdata/libpndman/ CREATE xbmc_ptitseb.tmp...

There's a significant difference that for software, like many intangible things, there's only the initial lump cost to create. There are no unit costs associated with them and they are trivially reproducible by anyone. After the original creators have been compensated justly for their effort and...

You could add a mic and speaker to that bar and side-talk using the pyra :P

Property rights are distinct from copyright. Copyright is a temporary ban on reproducing works devised to facilitate the creation of more culture and science. Just because the author (or other copyright holder) has a temporary right to prevent others from doing one specific thing, reproduction...

That doesn't extend to things that don't require support and maintenance services after publication like music, movies, games and such. For software that needs to be maintained and trained, sure.

Distributing cost over multiple sales. Without any copyright any easily copyable thing would make your first sale also your first competitor. Now, I believe there should be a good- much shorter than the current -limit to the duration or total profit so while you can distribute the cost of...

If someone gets you to run their malicious code on your computer as root, you're screwed systemd or not. Any "vulnerability" that requires root access is not really a vulnerability, just one more thing to do on already compromised systems.

I've never looked at USB connectors this close.
