It is bad because can be weaponized and give the judge a too wide area for interpretation.


Almost any UK/US legislation is purposely written to be interpreted though


Forgettable as Citroen and Peugeot, for example?


I think GP means forgettable in the US. Here is the brands from the Wikipedia article:

  - Abarth
  - Alfa Romeo
  - Chrysler
  - Citroën
  - Dodge
  - DS Automobiles
  - Fiat
  - Jeep
  - Lancia
  - Maserati
  - Opel
  - Peugeot
  - Ram Trucks
  - Vauxhall
None of them I would call "forgettable". Most of these brands have been there for more than a century. The only ones more recent than that are Abarth, DS and Ram. DS and Ram refer to iconic vehicles by Citroën and Dodge respectively and lately turned into their own brands.


I do not know if it is the same in other countries, but in Italy public sector has been used for decades by bad politicians for paying political favors, "if you bring me votes of you family I'll manage to find a job to your son", the result is an oversized apparatus of people that do not like their work, work badly (if they work at all) and try to spent time in order to arrive to payslip day. In Italy the bureaucracy is become a monster that try to justify its existence creating other bureaucracy. At least half of italian bureaucracy workers are redundant. And I'm not a supporter of the private sector at all.


IMHO the only solution for real safety for children on internet are the parents that navigate with the child and education, any other solution is only a patch that give false security. And, above all, you're giving to other people the right to choose what is good or bad for your children. Not my way.


Some link to both proprietary and FOSS alternatives?

Thanks, Pietro.


My family is happily using only Linux since 10 years, I since 15 years ago. But there are a lot of "but", without my support (I'm a sysadmin) they could not, but half of the issues are not Linux only, so they needed support even if they were using Windows. The real question should be "why even non technical users should use Linux?" You should not give a supercar to drive to a novice driver, it could be dangerous for him and for others. Every OS has its use, maybe I'm snob, but if you're not able to manage Linux rough edges use MacOS or Windows, Linux natural environment was and should be datacenter. I won't trade server features, robustness for having a Linux desktop at all cost.


Wezterm (kitty too) is really a great piece of software, I use terminals 12 hours a day, but I did not spent a lot of time configure them, but this article is inspirational.

PS: kitty developer is the same developer of calibre, another beautiful software.


Sadly this is not US only issue, I'm from Italy and here is the same, very polarized view, black or white, if you're not with us you are against us. I hate this.


Yeah, me too. On Linux the copy&paste is a real pain, it depends on terminal, window manager and moon phase.


Agree. And what I hate the most is the randomness: some times copy paste works and sometimes it doesn't. That is my daily curse with tmux.


Similar project to Spacemacs, doom-emacs seems more alive recently, some people say it is faster than Spacemacs. I like both, but I never switched to them from vim.
