This seems to be the European take too from what I've seen.

Your syntax is fine, but not all commands/programs accept input from the pipe, or more accurately from stdin. Looking at the man page for file (https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/file.1.html) I can't see a stdin option, so you have to pass each of the files from your head output as arguments to file.

I thought we were unique in this but frankly everywhere in the "western" world is talking about the same things. EU has chat control, Australia has similar efforts, USA aren't pushing for privacy at all so it's not a uniquely British problem.

It's a programming community, you're programming, you're fine.

Watching the series on netflix I had the same reaction.

Basically any channel that started doing "reaction" content. Oh you're reading the top page of Reddit today? Cool, what creative value does that have to me? Absolutely none. Goodbye. I get that it's really popular but I have no idea why, and I get it's cheap to make but it's also shit, so you get what you pay for I guess.

The only exception to this is Jimmy Broadbent who occasionally does his "Sim Racing Stewards" series which is basically his take on Reddit user submitted clips of their online racing mishaps. I find it really interesting to watch because he has so much sim racing experience and, albeit less, experience of real world racing with real life stewards and racing rules. It's entertaining and interesting and I want to know his opinion on these incidents because he has enough context to have an opinion, and doesn't act like his opinion is gospel.

How is what you're describing different to what the author is talking about? Isn't it essentially the same as "AI do this thing for me", "no not like that", "ok that's better"? The trouble the author describes, ie the solution being difficult to change, or having no confidence that it can be safely changed, is still the same.

R has the same problems as far as I'm aware, though it doesn't form the core of a lot of modern CI of course!

Yeah that's the (public) policy, but there's nothing stopping them from saying "we're Google, we have a literal army of lawyers at our disposal, and you can't prove shit. Even if you could prove shit, we would find a way to keep doing what we're doing through some loophole that you can't afford to fight us on"

I used to find it took forever to start showing a picture compared to HDMI on my PC. Getting a new GPU so maybe that will improve things.

Yeah I'm a recent convert to less permissive licenses and was disappointed to see that redox was MIT. At the same time I know if I was to make anything worth open sourcing I couldn't fight big tech if they decided to make use of it in a non-compliant way.

I'm only really aware of him as former (?) leader of private discords who have to pay to talk to him so this article made that idea even more ridiculous and funny than it already was!
