I wish this article would have delved into the details of the system because it’s even more incoherent and insane than you think.

Google also lost a court case and had this system forced onto them by the law. I believe it would literally take a change in the dmca (ideally just repeal it or strip all the anti consumer bs out of it) for them to be allowed to do anything different.
I think you already got a good answer but let me throw in another:
Fedora’s dnf provides some good history and update reversion tools. You can use:
dnf history list
to get a list of all actions taken on the system since install. Use “dnf history info 5” to get info on the 5th transaction. (Get the transaction ID numbers from “dnf history list”.)
Then to revert a change use either:
dnf history rollback or dnf history undo
Using undo reverses a single transaction, so if you have one where you did something like “dnf install tmux” and then ran undo on it then that would be equivalent to running “dnf remove tmux” in terms of what it does on your system.
Rollback does what you might think: it basically goes through all the updates between the most recent and the one specified and it reverses each of them, theoretically restoring the system to the state it was in at that time.
I say “theoretically” because this isn’t a perfect system. For example, if you have an update where you removed some software that had some customizations done to it and then went through a rollback it’ll put that software back but may be missing configurations you applied to it, so potentially it could cause some issues if those were important. This gets into a lot of complicated stuff and tbh it is a powerful but imperfect system. Something like Atomic gives you more of a guarantee that a rollback will work because the whole system state is defined by the installer, not just the packages.
There’s one more note: Fedora removes old versions of packages from its repos so you’ll need to add their historical archives repo to do certain things. I forget how to do that off the top of my head.
This may not be what you want exactly but it’s a powerful tool that’s good to be aware of.
Yeah, even if zero people ever consented the ability to defeat end to end exception would still be required in the software just in case someone ever did consent. That’s all governments need to bring their other powers down on companies. They can spy on whoever they like with this.
I don’t think i care what Jack Dorsey says that isn’t backed up independently. Even if he’s right i just don’t trust him.
I’m being a little silly. Blockchain stuff wouldn’t work great for hosting git on for a number of reasons. You might be onto something with that idea about integrating it with gir and torrents, though. I was thinking of using it as an external way to verify the repo is the real thing and hasn’t been tampered with but your idea may be a better version of that.
On the grounds that the dmca is a blank check to let big corporations do whatever the fuck they want. It doesn’t have to be legal, but if you don’t take whatever they want down then that’s illegal and could get you (GitHub, in this case) in serious trouble.
Finally a use for block chain tech.
You, uh, forgot to change accounts there, buddy.
Funny how diversity is bad when it includes non conservatives but suddenly good when it forces (occurred) conservative views into, say, science, medicine, and engineering.
Meanwhile i don’t think a single person who is afraid of immigration has changed positions.
I mean that’s all but explicitly what they wanted.
May as well start somewhere and this is somewhere.
It probably won’t be hacked for most of these cars, though. Just the ones interesting enough to attract that kind of attention.
That’s what i pay for gigabit fiber and unlimited 5g combined. (Admittedly my cell plan is one of those crazy grandfathered plans.)
They’re training people for even worse subscription models.
There is, for better or worse, authoritarianism on the left. “You will be fed and given a place to stay and personal safety… or else!” Even in its more benign forms (ex Bolshevism) it’s kinda bad imo. When it gets extreme it gets… well… being an English speaker i’m sure you’ve heard all about it.
Places like Lemmygrad and Hexbear are actually pretty benign. They’re just on the verge of being acceptable to people so they make a lot of noise and cause a lot of drama but in terms of the actual bad actors… well, as you can see, they don’t even rate.
Canada, too, i think.
Man it’s crazy how these fuckers basically get to ignore copyright law whenever it’s inconvenient to them but if you have one too many Windows machines provisioned they’ll send the Spanish Inquisition after you.
