Circumvention: https://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/legis/cth/consol_act/ca1968133/s116an.html

Aussie copyright law gives us the right to circumvent protections in order to make copies to watch on a device the original can’t be played on.

Linux out of the box is remarkably incompatible with DRM protected content and so makes an excellent thing on which one might want to watch, listen to, or read a thing

I luckily live in a country where I may break copy protection if it is to move the content into a format where I can use it as I prefer

Eg I could (and did) legally break copy protection on DVDs to allow me to watch them on my Linux computer

I wonder if she would have been treated differently if she had flown to BC and entered on the northern border

IT worker in system analysis and design in the public service in Canberra, Australia.

There’s no official policy though many of my co workers believe a lunch time drink is not allowed. I have often enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine or a beer at lunch, have never made a secret of it, and have never been told off or warned by anyone above me

10C* charging isn’t all that exceptional

But also charging a Tesla on a road trip takes ~15 minutes each couple of hundred kilometres, that’s often not enough time to get a coffee and use a toilet; it’s never long enough to get a meal.

On a thousand kilometre trip recently for a lunch break my partner would find a place to get lunch and order for themself and me while I waited in the car for it to become charged enough. I would generally get to the lunch place before food was served

Faster isn’t much use until it’s fast like filling a petrol tank

*10 times capacity – Charging rate 10 times faster in kilowatts than the battery capacity in kilowatt-hours

And not doing shit that tanks the stock price and sales.

Ok, so list the ones I can buy today

Usenet is harder to use

Usenet is more expensive

As someone who’s been around a while, I disagree. The tools now are so much easier than those when ISPs mirrored usenet, and the cost is so much less than just internet back then

I don’t have a problem with the character, just the way she was written especially in the second film, I didn’t watch the third. And that film was terrible. The plot was bad, all the characters were bad, their adherence to star wars space stuff was bad

I don’t know if the writers were bad at their job or whether they were required to change it

The bit I didn’t say was I meant such a character in a hero’s journey style story

It works in that genre. The main guy in Nobody also was pretty good from the start. The fast and furious flicks also don’t do a great deal of character development

Those all have characters presented as good at whatever the movie is about

If the worst happens there are many instances to choose from, and it seems easy to get your preferred username

I think that’s it. I was taught how to project my voice, how to use an authoritative tone and it has helped me get leadership roles. It’s a skill, and it’s a skill that any leader ought to have, in a film, at least.

Both men and women can do it, but you need to learn and I haven’t seen nearly as many girls trying to learn it as boys

Your comic book examples with one woman on a team of mostly men are probably due to the audience for conic books having been almost exclusively boys. I suspect the one woman was indicative of the market share going to girls

I wonder if umbrella academy’s gender balance was due to the power archetypes being perceived as gendered

Funny thing with books is you can tell whether the intended audience is men or women by the cover art, but the art is (perhaps was) all aimed at women because they don’t find a significant number of men buying books, the man’s wife or mother buys them for them

So books aimed at men have cover art aimed at attracting women buying for a man.

Who complained about the female led movie Alien (93% audience rating on rotten tomatoes)?

I think the issue is that the movies aren’t written well. Rey in the third trilogy never saw a challenge she couldn’t master on the first attempt. A story about a character born perfect and never faltering isn’t fun

Isn’t it reasonable for a maintainer to say “no rust here” when they don’t know rust, don’t want to learn it, and have decades of experience in C, and are maintaining that part of the system

Which instance is it on?
