@omgubuntu the real trick is - once I have a non-disk thing mounted in Gnome, how do I access it through the CLI?

Can an online library of classic video games ever be legal?

Preservationists propose access limits, but industry worries about a free "online arcade."

@arstechnica it cannot be legal, because Copyright is not here to "promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts". It is to give Corporations the power to maximise revenue, no matter what they may destroy along the way.

Praise and glory to the righteous Firemen! Let the bonfires they light lead the way to a more glorious future!

Business groups sue FTC to block ban on noncompetes, claim they help workers

Noncompete clauses "benefit employers and workers alike," Chamber tells court.

If it's "beneficial to both sides", then why are they being written by just one side?

@ZachWeinersmith You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. You're just standing there, with a Sharpie in your hand, not drawing a dick on it. Why is that?

Google Project Zero researcher Mateusz Jurczyk has published a two-part series on security bugs he found in the Windows Registry.

Between May 2022 and December 2023, Jurczyk found 44 vulnerabilities.

He since found another six since then.

@SirTapTap @textfiles while you're playing, keep in mind that you were never meant to be able to see things on the Game Dot Com's screen. It wasn't smeary like the Game Boy, the moment anything moves on the Game Com's screen it was just gone. The entire time you are playing something like Sonic, the screen is blank plus a little bit of static.

Corporate crime is notoriously underpoliced and underprosecuted. Mostly, that's because we just choose not to do anything about it. American corporations commit crimes at 20X the rate of real humans, and their crimes are far worse than any crime committed by a human, but they are almost never prosecuted:
