The Portugal model consists of decriminalisation, harm reduction and rehabilitation, but the Portuguese government has basically defunded the rehabilitation programs. Seems to me no wonder that the approach is failing if you take away the one factor that would reduce addictions, but also disingenuous to claim that the entire approach was a mistake. It worked, and now after defending an important part of it, it no longer works.
TOTP: better than nothing, but not a lot better. It depends on the human being infallible. U2F doesn't, and would have worked here to prevent the takeover and the need for blaming the employee for not being infallible, but hey, at least less than $50 of hardware costs was saved by the employer!
No LUKS password was guessed, clevis-disk-unlock command in the last screenshot used the TPM to provide a key to a LUKS keyslot for getting at the actual decryption key to decrypt the disk. The TPM should have had information about the boot state to be able to refuse to provide the key, but didn't.
Xorg has very bad support for display scaling (for HiDPI) and multiple displays and especially multiple displays with non-uniform scaling factors. Architecturally speaking, this will never be fixed, even if new maintainers do show up. Wayland may be over-complex or under-complete or under-supported (by Cinnamon and XFCE) (or by Nvidia), but it is as the article says, the only game in town.
I always wonder if people aren't confusing racing with bicycling. Granted I live in moderate climate but we have our hot days too, generally it's not that hot yet early in the morning, but in that case I could dress appropriately with shorts for the bike ride and change into work clothing after.
According to my phone I generally do a pretty leisurely 12-13 km/h (7.5-8 mph) on my upright (ie. normal) bike and could keep that up for hours without breaking a sweat. Bicycling is really very efficient.
Looking at the way bicycling is experienced in London, and I think many US cities too, I see people dressed in full racing gear and doing 25+ km/h (15 mph+) on race bikes, which makes no sense to me for a city like that: you're sharing the street with dense car traffic, meaning any miscommunication easily turns into a nasty accident at those speeds; on race bikes you're hunched over and have less information about what's happening around you, just due to being lower and the anatomy of how your body turns to look around; and yes your body has to actually work to keep those speeds up.
In the US South for multiple months it can be too hot to bike or e-bike due to heatstroke regardless of how much effort it put in. You'd need a lot of water and end up drenched in sweat if you try.
> The complaint states that when the 78rpm records were converted into digital files, IA reproduced copyrighted recordings without permission. When IA copied those files to a server, that amounted to another unauthorized reproduction, and when it transferred those copies to the public, yet another.
That first step, making a digital copy of a copyrighted work, is not illegal to my knowledge of at least Dutch copyright law — you're allowed to make a copy "for your own studies", although it's not allowed to then give this copy away, or in general to make the copy for somebody else.
I also thought that copyright lasts for 70 years, so that all pre-1953 work is in the public domain, or did Disney succeed in extending this period?
Copyright in music is a nightmare. I used to work in this area, setting up one of the very first legal streaming services. There are about five different rights attached to each piece of music:
It’s most places, due to the international pressure from multinational organisations like the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organisation) and WTO (World Trade Organisation) … they have longstanding campaigns to harmonies members national legislations to facilitate easier international trade and respect of intellectual property rights between countries…
As a result most countries (but, yes, not all countries) have the Bern convention “life plus 70”
It is life+70 only for copyrights owned by natural persons. That's why, for example, the estates of dead artists are managed by their heirs (at least in name). For copyrights owned by businesses, it's 70 years from publication.
It's a good idea to be caching sdists and wheels — for resilience against PyPI downtime, for left-pad scenarios, and even just good netiquette — and for packages that don't have a wheel for your environment, you can fairly easily build that wheel yourself and stick it into the cache.
