    Well, this is how hate speech legislation works already: you have a responsibility to remove it, even if you didn't see it.

    On one hand, that's a terrible idea. On the other hand, they could just move it to the US like any sane organization would. Even the ultra-nationalist publications do it, and it stands to reason they would otherwise not be very keen on moving abroad.

    In other words, that people are getting prosecuted at random is a decisive improvement from the status quo and something to celebrate. God willing, this will finally put an end to the perverse order of non-US Internet publishing.

    Man, FUCK the Washington Post
    We noticed you’re browsing in private mode.
    Private browsing is permitted exclusively for our subscribers. Turn off private browsing to keep reading this story, or subscribe to use this feature, plus get unlimited digital access.


    It's not even ad blocking, it's straight up private mode. Aren't journalists supposed to at least nominally care about privacy? I'm using perfectly bog-standard Tor Browser with JavaScript on, the same as their dissidents in China or whoever it is they pretend to be deeply concerned about for the moment.

    It is innovative though, I'll give them that - "cough up or we'll give your data over to the Google". It sure is something to sell ads to someone who's already paying for your disgrace of a newspaper. Then again, the people who pay to read newspapers online (that's like three layers of WTF at the very least) don't generally tend to be very bright and would probably pay $90 a year because they thought the EU law forces them to do it.

    The blocking was also slightly better than usual. It wasn't enough to delete the element, you actually had to open it up in view source and to a CTRL-F for the article content.

    Here is the (strikingly dishonest) "article" in its full "glory":


    On a side note: has UI gone too far?

    A Tech Expert Says Google Chrome Has Become Spy Software

    Over a recent week of Web surfing, I peered under the hood of Google Chrome and found it brought along a few thousand friends. Shopping, news and even government sites quietly tagged my browser to let ad and data companies ride shotgun while I clicked around the Web.

    This was made possible by the Web's biggest snoop of all: Google. Seen from the inside, its Chrome browser looks a lot like surveillance software.

    well ok, but google's track record regarding privacy hasn't exactly been stellar either. though it seems like it's a function of their size more than other companies being "nicer". any company this big is likely to be involved in some rather shady stuff like working with the NSA and "PRISM" and things like that

    Perhaps, but this article isn't even remotely about anything shady Google is doing. It is literally just "Oh god, Chrome has cookies!"
    Now, granted, Chrome has extremely limited cookie controls(extremely limited anything controls), but that isn't the same thing as being spyware. And the author foists the blame upon Google instead of the bajillions of sites using cookies to spy on people.

    (Ironically, I remember back when Firefox stripped out cookie controls because only nerds cared about cookies. That decision probably did more than anything else to make browser extensions a mainstream feature, since only nerds used anything but Internet Explorer and there was an extension to restore the cookie controls.)

    I'm amused that many of these are hour-long. The usual suspects have been done to death, so they've completely moved on to longer games. I could invest maybe 5 minutes to watch an interesting speed-run, but I don't have the attention to watch someone spend 2 hours playing Minish Cap.

    Just watched the Titanfall 2 run, it's great even if you haven't played the game yourself. Stays entertaining the whole run through.

    They still have the "Shh! Don't call them R*m hacks" tacit rule I noticed. Which feels silly if they're hosting speed runs on some of those hacks ( played on hardware) anyway but whatever.

    Having only a few minutes of Internet access per day gives you more than enough free time to do other stuff you've been neglecting for YEARS. Like another purge of the remnants of my shareware CD-ROM collection, and archiving the stuff from those gold CD-Rs that were bought with my very first PC, 21 years ago (!!!).

    Stuff like plenty of ancient edutainment stuff, most of it old Win16 apps like:

    - Dorling-Kindersley titles - I really loved their How Stuff Works 2 CDROM, too bad its ancient QuickTime didn't played nice with more modern versions of itself, trying to hijack your BMP/MOV file associations at every time they could!
    - Encarta '98. Remember back when there was no Wikipedia? No Google? No dialup modems with most PCs? If you owned a PC and wanted to get fancy over your schoolmates still relying on good ol' textbooks, you had to pirate buy Encarta every freakin' year, and combined with a state-of-the-art color inkjet printer, you could easily become the master of copypasta of your classroom! F in effort, A+ in pretty reports.
    - Miscellaneous encyclopedia CD-ROMs from newspapers ("get the first free and buy the other 18 for $LOW_PRICE!!!")


    And then, some of the surviving magazine cover CD-ROMs back when I was starting with this "Linux" thing, almost two decades ago. I found this weird jewelcase (seriously, it's the only one I have like this: it opens backwards, there is no room for holding a front cover or a booklet, and it's slimmer than a standard jewelcase but actually not as slim as those dreaded slim packs which broke if you looked at them funny) from a Spainard Linux magazine containing a somewhat popular (in Spain) Linux distro from the era, Esware Linux 365.

    Noone ever heard about Esware outside Spain (and some Latin American countries, if you were lucky), and that's because this was a distro aimed at the Spanish market. This was from a era where it was much more feasible to call and buy a bunch of CD-ROMs (that would get obsolete in no time) instead of spending the next 3 months downloading gigabytes of stuff over 33.6K dial-up. But then I could typically find them for free with select computer magazines (this particular specimen is a demo build for the now-defunct Todo Linux magazine issue #15, according to the printing on the cover). I can't recall having any particular luck installing it on my ol' Deceleron shitbox back in 2002, but then that box really hated anything that wasn't Windows 9x/Me (even 2000/XP would BSOD at startup with INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE, and most Linux distros would either fail to install, boot only to console, or if you were very lucky, with a heavily distorted X11 GUI). Esware 365 (AKA 2.0) was actually a bold move for them, not only they switched their base from Red Hat to Debian, they also tried to embrace the Year of the Linux Desktop™ by making a user-friendly distro, easy to install and to maintain. (I never got to use their original RH flavor)

    What makes this particular distro CD-ROM remarkable? We bitch and moan about the disease of Electron/Chrome-in-a-can desktop webapps, where a glorified Silly Valley IRC client can easily bring a octacore Xeon with 64GB RAM down to its knees when some Javascript decides to take a dump on it. But those Esware guys were waaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of its time, as this distro features which is probably the WORST Linux installer I've ever interacted with in my entire career as a Linux user. It's the WORST OS installer (of any kind) I've used, PERIOD. And as you have already guessed it, it was a webapp. Yes, these Spainards were being disruptive in 2001. Too bad their webby shit was unable to achieve its ultimate goal most of the times, which was actually installing a Linux distro to your PC.

    First things first: when you boot this thing, you setup your mouse, and get asked which kind of setup would you want to do:
    - Normal: it starts its webby setup wizard - actually a barebones X server running Mozilla in kiosk mode, connecting to their setup webapp running in a local Apache instance. If you knew Mozilla back then, it was a miracle that the thing didn't crashed at startup!
    - Help: "This distro is brought to you by $LIST_OF_SPAINARD_DUDES"
    - Network: Same as normal, sans the X server and kiosk Mozilla. Instead you get to setup your network (no DHCP allowed, assume compatible Ethernet NIC installed), then get prompted to go to another PC in your LAN and connect to the same setup webapp.

    Then you make your way through the usual Windows-ish NEXT->NEXT dance (or I must say: Siguiente->Siguiente - there are also English and Galician options, but the English one is broken still in Spanish, and the Galician one is not better as only a few pages are translated). There is a hardware setup page, but strangely you don't get to pick your keyboard map (something essential even today), you don't get to pick a video driver (hope your VESA is not bugged to hell and back!) but only a video mode, the sound setting only allows to perform a sound test (which naturally doesn't work), and you get a completely useless "Other Devices" section. Since this was a demo (the complete version supposedly span across four discs), the package selection is already fixed for you, therefore the entire section is read-only.

    Anyway, onto the scariest part of every Linux installer: disk partitioning!
    Oh boy, how do you even---?!?!?!?! These Spainards managed to screw up this thing so badly I'm still amazed that they managed to ship this thing as is! The partition tool (actually a bunch of Perl/PHP scripts under the hood, with whatever little bits of JS the Mozillas of the era could cope with sprinkled on top) is a special class of failsauce:
    - Sometimes it fails to detect some (or all) of your HDDs, leaving you with no room to install your fancy new Linux distro.
    - There is no option to resize or reformat existing partitions, only create new ones.
    - There is no undo option!
    - It gives you no control over where to place your new partitions, and it reeeeeeally wants you to use extended partitions even on an empty drive.
    - Speaking about empty, unpartitioned drives: presenting one of those to the partition tool may cause it to lose its mind, either telling that there is no space, or causing it to create a MurderYoWifeFS ReiserFS partition when you actually wanted an ext2 filesystem!
    - Even if you managed to clear all those hurdles and make a sane partitioning scheme, the thing may simply ignore you and create nothing at all, leaving your HDD perfectly untouched, defeating the whole purpose of a partitioning tool (and leading your setup to a surprise halt, as there are no error messages EVER displayed to the user)

    If you survive this shitshow, you still have to setup LILO (this step is also prone to silent failure), optionally create a boot floppy (this step also silently fails), setup your network (AGAIN: you already did this on the Hardware setup step, but this time you get to tell them that you're actually not using a dial-up modem anymore), setup users and passwords, and THEN... actual install begins. First, your actual partitioning scheme is applied (if you're lucky, considering how poorly coded is their partitioning "tool"), then the base system is copied to the HDD. And here comes the second WTF of the day...

    If you take any Linux distro CD/DVD and start browsing it with your favorite file manager, you will eventually find a directory full of software packages in whatever format is used by your distro maintainers. The install scripts will simply take the contents of those packages and copy them to their intended destinations. There might be some special packages which are manually put in place before all of this (for bootstrapping the base system, or whatever), instead of going through the regular install procedures (things weren't as streamlined in 2001 as they're right now in 2019). That's... not how things were done in Spain back then, it seems. if you browse this Esware 365 CD, you will find a directory with a bunch of 2001-vintage Debian packages, but exactly ZERO of those are used during install phase. Instead, there is a ~184MB tarball (/Esware/base/esware-base-1.0.tgz) with the ENTIRE system image on it - the installer will simply vomit its contents all over your filesystem, including temporary/duplicate files, obsolete cache contents, possibly broken config files, and surprisingly, no kernel package anywhere to be seen. No, that one ships on separate tarballs according to your architecture (which back then could be i386/486/586 -all of those shared the same image-, or i686). Anyway, just like everything on this doomed demodisc, this step was also prone to silent failure: you could sit there, staring at the "Now installing..." display, with absolutely ZERO disk/CPU activity at all. The installer just gives up, walks home, and leaves you -the user- stranded in a big fat seat of nothingness. Just a stoopid "ESWARE 365: WE MAKE LINUX POSSIBLE" animation. "Making Linux Possible" indeed.

    If for whatever reason you were chosen to win the lottery, you MIGHT end with an actual working, bootable Linux install somewhere in your HDD! Once inside, you will find a standard KDE2 desktop (not as great as KDE 3.5, but still miles ahead of whatever they're doing right now with Plasma 5, or other LOLDESKTOPS by Silly Valley®), the ability to use standard .deb packages, and no kernel .debs installed anywhere. Or working sound. Or video drivers other than VESA. God, how spoiled we have become nowadays, with our fancy Linux distros with full-blown 3D graphics acceleration, bloated sound systems, wireless networking that (often) Just Works™, and cheap games from Steam. No way Jose, that's not how things were done at the dawn of the millenium: getting your system to boot Linux was just the beginning of the adventure! But with Esware 365 installer, it was more like the beginning of your nightmares.

    Bonus: If somehow you get yer' filthy hands on a Esware 365 ISO and try to get it working under a VM, get ready to extra fun. And by "fun", I mean "don't try this at home, kids. Seriously, DON'T!". These are my instructions for VirtualBox:

    - Configure your VM with the oldest hardware you can choose... not that Esware will take any advantage of it. PIIX3/4 IDE controller is fine, forget about USB, PS/2 mouse is your only logical choice here, don't bother enabling sound since it won't work at all (Esware will detect AC'97 audio but will output nothing; it will fail to detect VirtualBox's SB16 card), and while any of the AMD NICs will get detected by Esware, none of them will actually work for whatever reason. At least it plays nice with the VESA emulation of VirtualBox.

    - 128MB was overkill for a Linux distro back then, so go and use that. As for HDD, a 4GB should be more than enough. The installer silently failed with a 1GB disk (despite being more than enough to dump the base system image, with plenty of space to spare), but Your Mileage May (Greatly) Vary. Don't forget to add a floppy drive, as VirtualBox doesn't add one, and you WILL need it - keep reading!

    - Mount your Esware ISO on the virtual CDROM drive, and try to boot. The kernel boots... and dies with a "cannot mount root filesystem, tried /dev/sdd" or some similar BS. This is because somehow whatever ancient SYSLINUX version on this CD doesn't play nice with the (much newer) VirtualBox PC BIOS - for whatever reason the initrd image already loaded on RAM gets "lost" when the control is passed over to the kernel, which can't found it anymore and instead tries to look for it at a hardcoded (non-existing) device path. The workaround is kinda lame: extract the initrd.img inside the boot-esware.img boot image on the root of the CDROM, rename it to initrd.img.gz (as it's actually gzipped and we need it uncompressed, but gunzip will bail out since the file doesn't have the expected file extension because Troo UNIX® Philosophy except when they're not), gunzip that, and mount the resulting initrd.img on your virtual floppy drive. Yes, it's a wacko 3MB "superfloppy". No, VirtualBox doesn't care, and neither does the kernel. You're not done yet! To boot, write any nonsense on the boot splash, hit ENTER, you will get an error message. This is what we want, so we can actually drop to a textmode prompt. The magical enchant is "linux initrd=/dev/fd0". At some point during boot, the kernel will ask you to insert your root floppy and press ENTER - just make sure you've mounted your initrd.img into your virtual floppy drive, and hit ENTER. Or don't bother, and go watch a porn or synthesize nitro compounds at home instead, rather than waste your time preserving this piece of turd.

    - Mouse will stop working when you logout, just because.

    Typos, useless files, toilet humor, and more bugs than at Joe's Apartment inside of this fine piece of Spainard software engineering, because Your Mom™.

    ...I'm totally calling my next Javascript library "YourMomTampaxApocalypsisNow.js"

    If you're wondering what happened to Esware: unsurprisingly, 365 was its doom, and while they managed to hang on for a while (switching to IT services and the like), they ended folding anyway. Their remnants were slurped by someone else (which most likely failed too), and they faded into obscurity.

    But I'll keep this CD-ROM safe, if only for lulz, and its really weird disc case.

    There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination. You believed that you had actually held it in your hands. It was a photograph something like this.

    Apparently the "racist" version hides the Galician entry by default:
                <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <tr>
    <td>
    <div align="center"><a href="es/centroportada.php" class="textotitular">Castellano
    - </a><a href="javascript:;" class="textotitular" onClick="MM_swapImage('enanillo','','es/images/galego.gif',1)">[+]</a></div>
    </td>
    <td>
    <div align="center"><a href="en/centroportada.php" class="textotitular">English</a></div>
    </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td align="center"><a href="gl/centroportada.php"><img src="es/images/enano.gif" width="71" height="10" name="enanillo" border="0"></a></td>
    <td> </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    <br>


    The regular one just shows all languages at once:
                <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <tr>
    <td>
    <div align="center"><a href="es/centroportada.php" class="textotitular">Castellano</a></div>
    </td>
    <td>
    <div align="center"><a href="en/centroportada.php" class="textotitular">English</a></div>
    </td>
    <td>
    <div align="center"><a href="gl/centroportada.php" class="textotitular">Galego</a></div>
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>


    As a outsider, I don't get it. But when you consider how delicate have been relationships between Spainards and Galicians through history you may get it. Or not.

    Guy gets an old Macintosh 512 that doesn't work. Goes to open it for repair, notices it is strangely heavy. Opens it up and a bigass full-height 5.25" hard drive is staring him in the face from behind the case of this "unexpandable" "floppy-only" system.

    Turns out the company that made this hard disk controller(called a Hyperdrive board, and I love the name) decided to give Steve Jobs the finger in the most blatant way possible(other than actually etching an illustration of the bird onto the board).
    "You say your computer is unexpandable and unmodifiable? There's no expansion bus and it shall be thrown away when it ceases to meet our needs? Well, all the address and data lines end at the CPU, so we're just gonna clip a ribbon cable on top of it and MAKE an expansion bus for our hard disk controller. We think Wozniak would approve. Also, we're taping a fan into this air vent. It isn't even fanless anymore. "
