  • Burner phones are now mandatory when traveling to the US.

    Jump

  • TBH, buying a cheap Chinese burner phone with no security relevant data on it just for traveling to the US, might be better security wise than buying an expensive Google Pixel Phone with GrapheneOS on it.

    Especially now where Google, a US company and bound by its laws, that produces these devices, might (start) hand(ing) out backdoor keys to their hardware.

  • I suppose some of that comes down to the personal understanding of what "smart" is.

    I guess you could call some person, that doesn't understand a topic, but still manages to sound reasonable when talking about it, and might even convince people that they actually have a deep understanding of that topic, "smart", in a kind of "smart imposter".

  • France and Germany, in joint collaboration, have developed a Google Docs alternative - and its awesome! (Netherlands are currently onboarded)

  • I thought that MinIO is a Open-Source S3 implementation, which you can just install on your own system. S3 is a "protocol" here IIUC.

    Is your complaint that they are using the S3 protocol, because it was invented and is controlled by AWS?

    Or that some services might use it without MinIO, directly on AWS?

  • The title of this post is "Self-Driving Tesla Crashes into Wall Painted to Look Like a Road… Just Months Before Planned Robotaxi Launch". In order to know that someone was sitting in the car, you have to watch the video.

  • Trump invokes 18th century law to speed deportations, judge stalls it hours later

    Jump

  • We are never recovering as a Nation from this. This kind of violation of the order of law in our nation will take a century to heal if not more. The United States as it was is gone, full stop.

    Well, that is the goal. I think the goal is to create a (US/global) crisis, which allows the powerful (rich) to step in to reshape the society, to fit their agenda better.

    I do not think that the Trump administration is simply incompetent, I think they are having a plan, and are executing it and what we see is part of it.

  • I am a bit disappointed to not see the Tesla crash into a real wall. I feel a bit click baited here.

    Also, they prepared the polystyrene wall to break this cartoonishly, but still played on being surprised.

  • the perfect browser

    Jump

  • What makes implementation so difficult is that browsers cannot just "work", they need to be correct in what they do. And support all websites.

    The standards of HTML, CSS and JS have developed over a long time, not only is the amount of stuff massive, over time sometimes strange features where implemented, that were then used by website developers, and now these all need to be handled correctly by all new browsers.

    Emulating and reimplementing existing stuff is often more difficult, especially if you cannot leave out any feature, no matter how obscure, because that might break someone's website.

  • "the middle class" does not exist, they should focus on helping the homeless, jobless and working class.

  • Startup formed by former Intel engineers and backed by AMD legendary chip designer wants to become the Arm of RISC-V

    Jump

  • But as long as they are RISC V chips, then they would run the same software as any other RISC V chips.

    Not necessarily, RISC-V is permissibly licensed, so they could add proprietary extensions, that would make the binaries or even compilers only work with their implementation of the RISC-V ISA.

    Embrace, Extend, Extinguish tactics would work on RISC-V, and I trust billionaires and huge corporations to enshittify it.

    Big player joins RISC-V, creates design, introduces proprietary extensions, builds compilers that use them, software depend on them, other RISC-V designers need to license them, because the whole platform now depends on them.

    Also based on how complicate it is to port Linux to different SoCs, which at least share a common ISA, it will be much more difficult if you need to support even more RISC-V ISAs with different proprietary extensions, not only in the kernel, but in the toolchain as well.

  • Thunderbird will not adopt the new terms from mozilla

    Jump

  • So a bit like extending Mozilla Application Suite aka Seamonkey instead of focusing on standalone products?

  • AMD's new RX 9000 GPUs only officially support UEFI systems

    Jump

  • AFAIK, UEFI isn't technically a requirement. However, TPM 2.0 is, and that requires UEFI.

    TPM 2.0 does not require UEFI. I have a system here with TPM 2.0 and only legacy boot support. And you can just buy a TPM 2.0 module and connect it with any board, that has a SPI connector.

  • TBH, it is very difficult to me differentiating between the different flavors of authoritarians.

    Maybe someone can make an easy to understand comparison matrix? You know, "Kills people because they have a different opinion.", "Suppresses minorities.", etc.

  • House is such a great show

    Jump

  • Well, taking meds everyday is a lifestyle change, possible even more so than going to the fitness studio couple of times per week, cleaning your rooms couple of times per month, or getting rid of your disgusting carpet. Just speaking from my own or my friends anecdotal evidence. From my experience doctors where sometimes a bit to quick to hook people up with meds. I don't want to critique science in general, just that I would wish that "we" get better advice, and don't need to do their own (bad) research.

    But sure getting people to stop using drugs and narcotics is much more difficult then getting them on them.

    Anyway, this was more of a comment on Dr. House, where the doctors had a lot of time on their hands to practice lock picking skills in order to break in peoples homes to figure out what is wrong with them.

  • House is such a great show

    Jump

  • Personally, what I would like more of doctors doing house visits. Even if it is just about seeing how people live, sleep, what they eat and if they exercise enough.

    If you can find and fight the cause of sicknesses, you might not need to fight against the symptoms with meds for the whole life.

    Sure there are sicknesses, where you have to take the meds, but sometimes lifestyle changes are effective as well.

  • Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps

    Jump

  • Interesting discussion about this on the OpenStreetMap forums.

    The resolution is introducing "official_name" tags, referencing "en_us", because "en" is not just the U.S.:

    https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/gulf-of-america-gulf-of-mexico/124571/11

    So when OsmAnd or OrganicMaps start to support them, maybe your locale settings will change the displayed name there as well.

    Current description of that node: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/305639190/history/80

    So maybe that could be a reason for everyone around the world to stop using en_US locale settings. XD

  • Polls keep showing Americans want Elon Musk and DOGE out of government

    Jump

  • That is pretty common when you hear conservatives talk. You often agree about the issues, but then you suddenly hear crazy conspiracy theories about why everything is the fault of immigrants, jews, trans people or whatever.

    When conservatives talk about the rich and powerful being bad, its often about some "globalists", "George Soros", "World Economic Forum", "Liberals", ... than just the system being bad.

    That is the reason why the leftist critique should always focus on the system, not specific people or groups.

  • Time to get serious with E2E encrypted messaging

    Jump

  • There are different degrees of vendor lock in. If you use email (or Matrix) with a domain, you have no control over, you are soft-locked it. You can buy a domain, self-host or pay for a managed service and inform everyone that you are now reachable over some other address, but nobody else has to change.

    If you use Signal (or Discord or whatever) and want to switch to a different domain. You cannot. If you switch to a different protocol, everyone in your contacts has to switch as well, or you lose that contact. The network effect forces you into the service of one provider. The only way out of there would be if the service get so bad, that a critical mass leaves, but you will have to deal with that bad service all the way.

    As long as financial interest are there, non-federated services will sooner or later start to enshittyfy. So if you choose a communication medium, choose something that leaves your options open. If you don't like Matrix, try XMPP, it has come a long way as well.
