Do you also believe that the Democratic Republic of North Korea is a democracy just because the name says so?
I used to use a system that was perfectly happy to let you use a semicolon when setting the password, but then login would fail if you did.
Technically, what he’s doing is election fraud.
Depends on the distro. Some have a configuration setting to allow unfree software or not, others have separate repos.
A similar argument is what finally caused the value of the vi family of editors to click in my brain:
They are designed to be fully functional over even the shittiest possible* remote connection. You can’t always count on ctrl, alt, or even the arrow keys being transmitted in a way that is understood by the remote machine.
*Well, I guess the worst possible terminal would be something like an actual teletype, and in that case you’d probably want to fall back to ed or its descendants. To save paper, if nothing else.
I’m under the impression that these sort of third-party warrants are often accompanied by a gag order. Which is why warrant canaries are a thing.
Gah, you’re right. I had it that way at first, but then glanced down a list to check my count and they listed 2002’s Harem Adventures as a separate game even though it’s just the Java phone port of the original.
I’d just like to point out, for the record, that that isn’t the original trilogy. Sands of Time is the fifth Prince of Persia game.
Yeah I’ve definitely heard “up to [amount] or more” used in advertising. Which is just completely meaningless.

is also helpful if you want to do something but don’t know what the relevant tools are.
It’s not a measure of efficiency per se, but efficiency is a limiting factor:
In order for a solar panel to put out 1000x more power, the baseline you’re comparing it to must be at most 0.1% efficient, because otherwise the new thing would have greater than 100% efficiency and that isn’t possible.
And that’s a purely thermodynamic argument. The actual limit for solar efficiency is likely less.
No, it’s the national symbol of Ukraine.
Fascists love to try to co-opt national symbolism, and sometimes they succeed, but ceding ownership of a 1000 year old symbol (it was used as a seal in Kievan Rus) because some assholes adopted it in 1993 is just letting the fascists win.
So crude, when you could use a butterfly.

Also “doctor” means teacher. The specific term for someone who practices medicine is “physician”.
It’s funny, I just switched to pulseaudio hoping it would fix some issues I’ve been having with pipewire. It did not.
Edit: I’m not on Mint, though, so best of luck.
It’s funny, I don’t think I would even understand the attack matrix reference, had I not just watched a yt series about Gamma World (and Metamorphosis Alpha).
Well, not always: Plural ‘they’ is a borrowing from Old Norse ca. 1200 AD, and the earliest attestation of singular ‘they’ is about a century later.
But, yeah, you’d think 700 years of continuous use would be enough to make it uncontroversial…
When public officials tamper with elections, it’s election fraud.
