spez doesnt even compare to how evil Musk is
Nah thats just wrong. Spez has been following Musks orders, so he is exactly as evil as Musk.

The second half was 50% pseudo philosophical yapping tho sadly. It started out so strong that is was deeply disappointed by the average tier ending.
- Comment on Breaking - Trump Resigns! 2 days ago:
I did my own by pranking my boss. We discovered an issue with parts made by a contractor recently and he didnt know yet how far back the parts were affected. So i edited the serial number of a few months old part onto a picture of a new part that has that defect. For a good 30 seconds or so he thought we had something like 200.000€ of bad parts. I love my boss, funny guy.

With my huge JBL Xtreme i would say 7 points. I use floppy at work to get data off a super old scientific measurement device that would cost 6 figures to replace.

I don’t think they’re ever really used for crimes?
Yeah there are probably more deaths from chainsaws than those swords. But yeah ofcourse in this case there is no legal use case other than artistic value. For things like folding knives tho there are lots of good legal uses and they are still banned.

- Comment on Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft. 5 days ago:
As long as it only pulls data and doesnt share any its not as bad. But each of these local services most likely use different APIs and formats, so implementing it wont be so easy. For just large highways its realistic imo, but if you want data for inside cities it becomes impossible.
If the database of traffic info become so large that it’s impossible to download it all at once it means you have to selectively download data for your location/route which makes it possible to infer user location again.

Whats the joke tho?
- Comment on Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft. 5 days ago:
Has anyone actually created a traffic plugin yet?
Nah, because the organic team doesnt wanna deal with collecting user data. Getting live location data from millions of people requires using and feeding into google services and thats a no go.
Location data is just too sensitive and impossible to anonymize properly. No matter what you do, there will always be some company that has to collect all the data. That company no matter how cool and FOSS will eventually be forced to cooperate with law enforcement and then you are back to what we have now.

Yeah, i mean if someone really wants to decapitate someone they can just go to the next best hardware store and get a chainsaw. This is so pointless.

Nice! It even supports the same RSS feed format. For anyone who also wants FOSS releases injected straight into their veins git.omaps.dev/organicmaps/…/releases.atom
- Comment on Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft. 5 days ago:
Its also a really great base project to build on top of. The routing system is a plug in library which can be easily replaced. That means if someone wants to build something that collects and utilizes live data for traffic/construction avoidance they can totally do that. Adding new map layers is also a big one that they made sure is going to be easy to do.
- Comment on Hina releases sodium-ion battery solution for commercial cars, able to be fully charged in 25 minutes 5 days ago:
Imagine if we started seriously investing in battery tech at the time the combustion car was invented and hadnt stopped since. We would still have been limited by not having computers for simulation for a long time, but we could probably have gotten to the current level like 20 years ago.
But yes, the future of electricity depends entirely on eco friendly, sustainable and cheap batteries. Its just a matter of time.

- Comment on End-To-End enshittified 1 week ago:
I think self hosting this kinda thing is a pretty rough first project. At the moment you would also have to host your own matrix server to make this work.
This is the code for hosting the bridge: github.com/mautrix/whatsapp
There are also ones for signal, telegram, etc matrix.org/ecosystem/bridges/
The EU and the matrix foundation do a lot to push changes to make this interoperability more user friendly while maintaining E2EE, but its just not there yet.
At some point the messages just need to be decrypted because the encryption algorithms all these apps use are different. So unless you directly add whatsapps or signals code into your app, this will have to happen elsewhere, like your or someone elses homeserver. If you dont care about that or if you trust that server, you can try to find a server that has an existing bridge running.
tchncs.de for example is running a signal bridge tchncs.de/en/matrix/ (scroll down all the way)
- Comment on End-To-End enshittified 1 week ago:
YSK that these kinda bridges break E2EE. Your matrix homeserver will register as a whatsapp web client and forward the messages to you basically. It does work really well tho, with read receipts and media and everything.
- Comment on how do they decide where to put bus stops? 1 week ago:
In my experience in Germay, the more expensive shops are closer to public transport. In the same vein apartments near public transport stops are the most sought after and therefore most expensive ones.

- Comment on Popular 3D printer vendor has come up with a foldable portable concept that's mindblowing 1 week ago:
Yeah this thing would suffer really hard from over time degradation and you would have no way to fix it probably. Its like the Iphone of 3D printers. The beauty of 3D printers is exactly that everything is exposed and can be easily modified, repaired or replaced.
