Here is a video of someone demonstrating it on a car headed for the scrap yard.

I think they are very good. Don’t expect any fancy features though. The gallery for example only shows pictures in directories and has very basic editing capabilities. There is no album management or automatic backup of any sort.

I know people don’t like to hear it but, assuming you and your neighbours collectively own the house, taking out a loan for a renovation like this isn’t the worst idea. Might be a massive headache though.

I recently read about something similar called Anubis. Is it related?

FOSS doesn’t mean that you are entitled to a place at the table or that your contributions have to be accepted. Nothing prevents these Russian devs from continuing to to work on the kernel.

You make it sound like a huge conspiracy but there are laws and regulations around everything you try to sell, especially for electronics.

You also have to do EMF radiation testing, ensure that your printer doesn’t produce toxic aerosols or fumes, and probably a bunch of other things to prove that your product is safe. I don’t see why the fingerprinting isn’t just another thing on the list of things you have to do to be in compliance with the rules. If your company is capable of producing something as complex as a printer, encoding the device’ serial number into a bunch of yellow microdots that you add to the printout shouldn’t be an issue.

That article is hilarious.

So I devised an alternative: listening to the work as an audiobook. I already did this for the Odyssey, which I justified because that work was originally oral. No such justification for the Bible. Oh well.

Apparently, having a book read at you without taking notes or research is doing humanities.

[…] I wrote down a few notes on the text I finished the day before. I’m still using Obsidian with the Text Generator plugin. The Judeo-Christian scriptures are part of the LLM’s training corpus, as is much of the commentary around them.

Oh, we are taking notes? If by taking notes you mean prompting spicy autocomplete for a summary of the text you didn’t read. I am sure all your office colleagues are very impressed, but be careful around the people outside of the IT department they might have an actual humanities degree. You wouldn’t want to publicly make a fool out of yourself, would you?

Stay vigilant. Content about “Political correctness gone mad!” is step one of the alt-right pipeline.

You can compare the WPT test results of many different browsers here. Its surprising to me that Servo lags behind Ladybird in successfully passed WPT tests.

Lunduke is an alt-right shithead.

Wikipedia has some info about that.

An important event for the spread of the raccoon in Europe was the release of two pairs of raccoons on April 12, 1934 at Lake Edersee in Hesse. Four raccoons were released into the wild by forester Wilhelm Sittich Freiherr von Berlepsch at the request of the owner, poultry farmer Rolf Haag. The idea was that the released animals should enrich the local fauna and save the fur industry expensive imports.

It requires you to buy a Google Pixel Phone and its too complicated for the average user. Just look at the usage guide, I completely understand anyone who wouldn’t want to deal with any of that.

“Ukraine set to sign a piece of paper that outlines the concept of a deal, maybe, in the future”, sounds like a whole bunch of nothing.

Unfortunately true ever since divestos stopped being developed. Living without a smartphone is pretty hard nowadays, but a reasonably secure and private smartphone (or anything really) is something reserved for the tech-enthusiast and you have to give money to Google.

Your shit is apart, and it’s rather unbecoming of a cop and a human being. It’s supposed to be the opposite of that: together. Compressed in a small area. To achieve a solid level of shit-compression, squeeze your butt-cheeks together for 30 minutes. Do something similar with the two hemispheres of your brain. Talk to people, maybe that will help.

If a full-face helmet works why not use one? You can also just skip the extremely cold days and use public transport instead. It doesn’t have to be an all or nothing decision.

I disagree cycling in winter is nice. Just get some warm clothes and good tyres. A car is also really expensive to own in the city. Why pay for a car and parking when the alternative is almost free and arguably more fun.

You can’t offload these kind of decision to the user. Just think about how effective the various fishing and social engineering attacks are. No, a fediverse dating app would have to be secure by default. The only possibility I see for this is something that involves homomorphic encryption, an encryption method that allows you to operate on data without having to decrypt it first, but I know nothing about that topic so I could be completely wrong. This vague idea of a solution might be technically impossible after all.

I don’t think control features help much when one of the most basic question that you can ask is “What is your gender and who would you like to date?”. As I have already outlined in another comment in this thread, this information has to be shared with the federated network and is already enough to get people into serious trouble should it get into the wrong hands.

Alternatively think about it this way. Would you hand over this kind of information to a total stranger? Would you take on the responsibility of handling data that could literally kill someone if you make a mistake?
