On behalf of everyone with aphantasia, no that doesn’t work for me. Sigh. `

Rotary (Pie) menus rock and should be everywhere, not just controller games. I like Kando. I like keyboards too, but when I’m mousing around it lets me do so much without bothering to touch a keyboard.

I hear you, you makes sense, but that way lies the death of personal general computing, which would be a crying shame. You’ll have nothing and (won’t) like it a few years later, SaaS taking over powered by all those ‘AI’ datacentres. Peak phone could even have happened if RAM becomes prohibitive, instead they’re just windows on an all centralized, subscription web services. I see it as a pretty existential threat for my preferred way of life.

FOSS obviously, why is this a question ? Just support KDE (or Gnome if you like that)

If you’re after direct hate on AI, you’re swimming upstream, it’s propping up the government of the largest economy in the world. Just wait, it’s unsustainable.

Can’t believe Cosmic Dare (Pretty with a Pistol) isn’t here already. Go watch Cowboy Bebop stat!

Cool stuff, I’ve been using https://github.com/SnoringDragon/gluetun-qbittorrent-port-manager but it’s 2 years old and intermittent in functionality (works sometimes, check it if you haven’t). Will keep an eye on yours.

If you’re up for a challenge flaresolvarr is always in a cat and mouse game with cloudflare if that’s your idea of fun.

Well Done!

Same, many years now, does the job well, simple web interface without any fuss. Docker (in my case podman, but whatever) version is pretty damn bulletproof, can’t remember the last time I needed to do anything to it. Tailscale / Headscale / wireguard will let you use it on your phone’s browser if you’re keen on that.

VSCode is super light on resources on linux, I have two running right now and they don’t break the top ten on btop (often). It can be done right, rarely is, but it can be. Generally electron is badly used, probably a skill issue, seeing as the skill is locked behind useless documentation, proprietary BS and whatever, but the ppl who made it actually make it work, might be black magic or chicken sacrifice…

Someone’s actually gonna take this seriously, and they’re right.

A more cogent argument would be they’re enslaving Corvids to the capitalist ideal, but I suspect Corvids are too smart to care…

There’s a product? Are you a bot?

As to manipulation without disclosure, that’s pretty much politics, unfortunately the world we must exist in, for now. Totally agree that should change. Got good ideas ?

You’re right (I think, damn timeline) but it’s the sort of AI Slop I can get behind, a call to action. It’s the sort of thing some politician somewhere will look at and go ‘there’s votes in that’ (and there is) and it ends up happening. Art has been used similarly for eons, I’m willing to give this a pass…

Pretty much that government API you mentioned, rather than the platform self regulating. Fox guarding the hen house and all…

Cybersecurity: where defenders have to win every day and attackers only have to win once.

Anything like age verification should probably be handled with absolute minimum identifiable information (i.e. you’re older than X true / false) from an authoritative source like say the people who give out IDs (because if they’re broken into everyone’s screwed anyway). Instead OzGov has dumped it in the laps of the corpos, who will hoover up pictures of IDs or faces instead. As of a couple of days beforehand there’s still no actual information on these age verification protocols to my knowledge, very untransparent, very disturbing. Corpos being required to moderate their platforms would be good, this is not that.

It’s the limit our legal liability and PR damage because we’re cheaping out on cybersecurity plan, not uncommon.

Observational bias : You remember only the bad ones, especially as they are the ones most likely to wake you, and thus cross the memory barrier to the conscious. You likely have good ones as well that you don’t remember.

If it really bothers you consider keeping a dream journal for a few months which should make you able to remember more, and more of your dreams. If it turns out you really have no good dreams, the next step is to learn lucid dreaming and fix that shit. If that’s too much work, you can try repeating “I will have good dreams” in your head as you go to sleep, you might be lucky.

For the record, if the software updates stopped where they’re at today, I’d be fine with how the car functions until the end of its life. In fact, I kinda wish they’d just leave things alone at this point because I don’t want any extra features out of the thing.

And therein lies the rub, you don’t get to choose, the corpo does and you have to trust them (you do trust them, don’t you?). Pretty much like you’re renting, not owning. As the article points out this is similar to phone ‘ownership’, hopefully in the fullness of time there will be a GrapheneOS equivalent for cars…

“Man will never be free until the last politician (mayhap capitalist) is hung with the entrails of the last lawyer.”

Eh, Syncthing-Fork is basically feature complete, it’s not even a significant exploit threat (on gOS and constrained to local network and storage spaces in my case, but probably in general). I just pinned it at v2.0.11.2 in F-Droid and will wait for things to shake out. If things go badly there’ll be a Syncthing-Fork-Fork, it’s too critical to too many peoples workflows.

Just as vulnerable to traitors as signal.

Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy !!

Thanks for the link, that’s so happening.
