Laws do not, did not ever, guarantee interception. It always allowed the police to try to intercept. The police hid bugs, tapped wires. Never in history the police said "for lawful interception to happen, all phones must come with preinstalled wiretap. The implication that "communications systems are too secure, there has to be a backdoor for lawful interception" is a fallacy.

Lovecraftian horror for mathematicians. Immediately goes insane.

Please do get started. I am curious.

Turkish military uses Pardus, a Turkish Linux distro, but I'm not sure to what extent.

That is why Microsoft spent a total of gazillion dollars to have its OS pre-installed on all PCs. We need more PCs with Linux pre-installed. This should be an antitrust issue but I am not knowledgeable enough to say how.

It actually looks great. I'm surprised to see that to be honest. But I use next cloud only as an alternative to Google drive. I find most of the times I can't make apps work and risk breaking my next cloud installation. But if it works for you, awesome 👍

Before Gaben, there was only vapour. He invented, nay, created steam.

But, and there is a big BUT here, you can't copy someone elses brand. You can't put someone elses name on it and sell a product without asking for permission first.

Yes. That is also how I see it. Plagiarism is immoral, copying/replicating/altering is just natural. Has been the norm for millenia. That's how art, science, and engineering, frankly, the entirity of human culture developed.

I really couldn't find a better way to describe how it feels to use gnome. I am used almost all tiling window managers through the years. I always got lost in configuring my setup. I know I didn't have to, but there was almost another step of optimization that was available to me. This is not a bad thing in and of itself, of course. I have been using gnome o arch for the past few years, a plank/dock extension, a system tray, and a clipboard manager. That's it, there is nothing to fiddle with, to distract me. It is entirely personal. I just can't stop myself from trying to optimize my desktop/workflow if there are still ways to optimize it. Before gnome I was using my WM/DE and then the applications necessary for my actual work. Now, the DE is "out of the way" and I just do what I actually have to do. But again, this is entirely personal.

x = "make the functionality of the Software or a Modified version available to third parties as a service"

y = "distribute the Software or a Modified version"

You may not X, or (Y in a manner that X)

Perfectly normal legalese. Just like "included but not limited to..." it sets a condition and adds a more specific version of that condition, which seems redundant but helps during actual litigation.
