If there is no other crime then no, the new crime can only be tacked on to an existing crime. it seems like they are committing vandalism, so perhaps under the new law they could get a charge commensurate to the penalty for vandalism probably not worth the extra lawyering imo.
I’m sorry I don’t follow how that sticker would be related to bil c9?
saigot@lemmy.cato Ask Science@lemmy.world•If Peaceful Aliens beamed down. Wouldn't we pose as much problem as them being out immunities and diseases are different from them? And vice versa? So we could accidentally kill one?English61·20 days agoI think it’s a safe bet that an alien race that has figured out FTL and how to identity inhabited planets has also figured out germ theory even if they somehow had a biology similar enough to us to be at risk in the first place.
We were pretty careful with the apollo astronauts when they returned to earth on the off chance some dangerous space virus survived on the moon. https://spacecenter.org/apollo-mission-quarantine-procedures/
saigot@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•US Planning First New Coal Power Plant Since 2013, in Alaska2·21 days agono hydro
I don’t think thats true. Hydro already accounts for about 25% of Alaska’s energy (source). Here’s a list of the hydro plants noaa tracks, including a 20MW dam under construction.
There’s also this massive dam that could power 2/3rds of alaskas energy usage, it gets proposed whenever oil prices rise and then abandoned as soon as oil prices drop again. I’m not entirely sure of practicality of this one but it’s interesting for sure.

It isn’t even going to be what the released product looks like.
There are quite a few pieces of software that have 2 different branding. For instance the windows file searcher agent ransack also goes by “file locator pro” to keep from scaring the corpos.

They literally try and positively review bazzite in the linked video.
If his teasers are to be believed thats what he does for the second installment of this.
I think the purpose of the video is to review who you can just tell to switch to linux and have them be able to do it unassisted in a short time frame. I think it does a pretty good job of showing that, the type of person linus was emulating represents a pretty large group of people and they generally can’t switch without either a large amount of frustration or a helpful friend. Also keep in mind this is the first in a series not a single video.
I think you are grossly overestimating people’s capabilities if you think anyone can switch to linux with no interactive help. https://xkcd.com/2501/ . “Setting up windows” for most people means swiping the credit card and pressing the power button. They do not care about data collection, and if its slow then they think they should buy the upgraded model.
I also think its funny how many of the people in this thread see this as a negative video, when I think it actually shows things in a very positive light, just a realistic one. I have already had someone switch to linux because of this video.
Windows laptops absolutelly come pre-installed with the drivers compatible with that system.
Also while hit or miss windows update will install graphics drivers (on a slower cadence than direct from.nvidia/amd) even in a fresh windows install. It’s a common pain point for windows update to mistakenly downgrade your drivers.
People are being exposed to something outside their bubble, and are lashing out.
