Yes. And that doesn't excuse it; a moderator should be better than the community they moderate.

I'd understand if they were a random user, but a mod should already have at least some understanding about a community's topic.
But worse to me are their comments in that post calling the people responding "childish trolls in this community". I do not think that this is appropriate for a moderator.
The people who coined the term "open source" are the same people who founded OSI. If you don't like their term, don't use it.
It doesn't actually contribute to the discussion.
Yes. You are free to distribute it in any way you wish. Some methods, like printing books, have a raw material cost. You can choose to pay someone to distribute via that method, or if you really want to, you can do the printing yourself at no cost but your own time and effort.
If you don't want to give it away for free, then just don't make it FOSS. It's that simple. People use free-libre licenses because they want to use that license model. If you don't want to, then don't.
That's not a meaningful comparison because it splits Ubuntu by version but all of Arch is a single category. We'd need to roll up the Ubuntu users for it to be apples to apples.
If you're in the position that the NSA is in your system trying to bypass SELinux, you have much bigger problems.
Besides, in that case, having it disabled is going to make it easier for them anyway.
Someone is going back over their contributions, right?
Right?
Debian and Fedora have ports, though not all packages are available, and you'll probably be doing a lot of porting if you want anything else.
But this bit from the uConsole R-01 product page might be relevant to you:
uConsole R-01 is a highly experimental model and requires some experience with Linux systems & FOSS. We strongly recommend all beginners choose other models.
A lot of this stems from instances running old versions with loose registration requirements, like no captcha. This is a problem in a federated system because there's no barrier for a banned user to just jump to another instance.
Perhaps it would be a good idea if, when Lemmy has anti-spam measures implemented like rate-limiting and captchas for registration, it disabled federation with instances that are at a lower version, to motivate small instances to upgrade and enable the new features.
Good news, the GNU Image Manipulation Program is designed for manipulating photos
swapoff, reformat, swapon?
Also make sure the drive isn't dying.
The employer doesn’t claim any intellectual property rights over my work product. I’m not able to find anywhere that the proprietary vendor does either.
You're probably in the clear. Legalese isn't so opaque that you would miss a section about this.
Of course, that doesn't stop them from suing you if they decide your work could be very profitable for them.
I'm not sure there's a good adhesive that will accomplish this. What's the shape of the earbud? Could a piece of heatshrink on the outside accomplish it?
tl;dr:
The research was initiated after scientists on the research team reported seeing occasional flashes of green light while working with an infrared laser. Unlike the laser pointers used in lecture halls or as toys, the powerful infrared laser the scientists worked with emits light waves thought to be invisible to the human eye.
But packing a lot of photons in a short pulse of the rapidly pulsing laser light makes it possible for two photons to be absorbed at one time by a single photopigment, and the combined energy of the two light particles is enough to activate the pigment and allow the eye to see what normally is invisible.
“The visible spectrum includes waves of light that are 400-720 nanometers long,” explained Kefalov, an associate professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences. “But if a pigment molecule in the retina is hit in rapid succession by a pair of photons that are 1,000 nanometers long, those light particles will deliver the same amount of energy as a single hit from a 500-nanometer photon, which is well within the visible spectrum. That’s how we are able to see it.”
Neat! But please don't shine lasers into your eyes even if it's supposed to be invisible.
Even at big companies, devs get flexibility because they need to run a bunch of random stuff that can look sketchy to security software.
Sometimes it can’t connect to the server (which is a completely stupid necessity).
That's where it does the voice processing. The only processing it does on-device is the wake word and taking commands. Actually figuring out what you mean is done in The Cloud. Doing that on-device would not only make the devices significantly more expensive, but they would also rapidly become outdated.
The rest of your complaints are valid and I've experienced them all myself to boot.
Overkill and overpriced. If you're on Windows, bitlocker is enough. If you're on Linux, LUKS is enough.
I've used Apricorn drives at previous jobs. They're cool and very much fit for purpose, but I'd have a hard time justifying the significant price premium when software is nearly as good, free, and works with any drive.
Honestly I'm not sure that that button is even necessary.
