Electric is far more efficient too, thus cheaper. Electricity you can transit over distance over wire and generate however you like. We’ve done it a long time, far and wide.
Turning electricity into hydrogen, distributing it, and then turning it back into electricity to move a vehicle, is so wasteful/expensive.
Just use a big battery.
So teens learn about Tor & VPNs. This stuff doesn’t work. The higher you put the skills to get access, the more they will learn. Nothing motivates teens more than access to adult stuff. Maybe this is really a tech literacy policy.
Someone got to say it…
There is no Debian if everything was a pile of Snaps/Flatpack/Docker/etc. Debian is the packaging and process that packaging is put through. Plus their FOSS guidelines.
So sure, if it’s something new and dev’y, it should isolate the dependencies mess. But when it’s mature, sort out the dependencies and get it into Debian, and thus all downstream of it.
I don’t want to go back to app-folders. They end up with a missmash of duplicate old or whacky lib. It’s bloaty, insecure and messy. Gift wrapping the mess in containers and VM, mitigates some of security issues, but brings more bloat and other issues.
I love FOSS package management. All the dependencies, in a database, with source and build dependencies. All building so there is one copy of a lib. All updating together. It’s like an OS ecosystem utopia. It doesn’t get the appreciation it should.
Unfortunately it’s not just young men. The alt right machinery recruits young women too. Just less of them as it a bit of turkeys voting for Christmas.
I don’t think so.
Only now are Nazis getting a foot hold again, at the same time they are getting a foot hold across the world. It is the after effects of the 2008 crash and Putin putting his thumb on scales where he can (troll farms and corruption).
The fact Germany doesn’t stick out as more Nazi that France, or the US, or others, means the original denazification worked.
There was a process : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denazification
A lot of vagueness. How many is “Hundreds”? I guess under 700 or it would be “nearly a thousand”.
Then “About a fifth of respondents said they had either decided to spoil their ballot paper or were considering doing so, among them Sharon”. How do we know Sharon is reflective of the others? We don’t.
It seams like picture painted with not a lot of data, from a self selecting group, that is being cherry picked. Maybe it’s reflective, but I got no way of knowing it’s even reflective of the few hundred who wrote to The Guardian about it.
This writer got an axe to grind?
Yep, Electronic Frontier Foundation. Key players in Right To Repair in the US. With good history of “fighting for the user”.
I can see a lot of comments against copyright here, but has anyone considered the implications of changes to copyright on copyleft?
I argue copyleft is demonstrably socially useful in locking things open. I do wonder if we’ll end up the two being different legally…
Can it run problem bank apps? I need a bank auth app for work as the bank stopped fobs and it just would not run on LineageOS. It refused to run because “the phone is insecure”. I tried Magisk hiding stuff and MicroG, and a number of way of tricking methods. That’s why I ended up on GrapheneOS, as a compromise without feeling too compromised. Everything seams to think it’s on a normal Android phone, but I’ve sandboxed the Google tentacles. But it would be better if mandating OS wasn’t allowed. If I want to run a “insecure” phone, that’s my “problem”.
I’m dyslexic and even paying the half attention I have, is probably too much for what seams to be hexbear trolling. Nothing says troll more than torrents of insults.
If your real, just vote too keep Tories out or don’t complain about them. Then advocate for better voting to keep them out of unchecked power again.
Age of Earth will be my guess.
They won’t want their kids exposed to all that scientific consensus showing it’s about 4 billion years old.
Fine. Don’t vote. But don’t complain things don’t change. Perfect is the enemy of good. Me, I’m for getting rid of Tories then FPTP. I know the first is on offer, I hope for the second. As do the majority of Labour party members, so I have hope.
Refusing to vote just gets you ignored. It’s also being peddled by the rightwing to try and disengage left leaners and reduce their voting power. Both in the UK and US. This Labour might to be as left as many would like, but they are more left than this Conservatives.
Yer, I’m out. This isn’t worth it. Just vote to keep the Tories out, which ever party than needs to be where you are (bar Reform), or don’t complain about them.
I can only speak of on Linux. If you know the disk is bad, clone it, with ddrescue, and fix the clone. But in future RAID and backup remotely. Also, next gen filesystems like ZFS and Btrfs for check sums and self healing and subvolumes with send/receive deltas between them.
Because they and their voters had no interest. But they might now!
Hexbear has a rep.
Just because no one else has said, Adam has been involved in EFF for a long time. EEF Podcast episode with him in it:

Which delights me as he’s more mainstream and so wakes people up to things like the Right To Repair movement.
But super important and not done enough! Disproving something can save humanity such time.
You can see what he’ll be like. Constantly trying to talk more than he would be allowed for his position, then claiming he is being silenced when he’s not allowed. If he got himself kicked out for behavior, he’d love it. His followers will lap it all up.
Certainly not the way we lunch right now. The energy used, that focused, in that short a time, is insane.
