- Comment on US demands access to tourists' social media histories 1 day ago:
The EU is already using that. Pick some other Reich that is still free.

Right-wing is code for not being part of the ruling party block.

The EU is fast-tracking the Fourth Reich, so visit it while there’s still time.
- Comment on US demands access to tourists' social media histories 1 day ago:
Russians are visiting China visa free and vacation in North Korea no problem. So, this is worse.
- Comment on US demands access to tourists' social media histories 1 day ago:
You have to prove that you don’t have accounts with the usual suspects. And that obviously makes you suspicious. Oh, and Lemmy would be considered to be social media.
- Comment on US demands access to tourists' social media histories 1 day ago:
That would fly well, as a defense in court. Social media are what they say are social media.

It’s the weather, probably. Something for the natives, and Finns maybe.

“…in another world” is missing.
- Comment on Gmail users warned to opt out of new feature - what we know 2 weeks ago:
Growing an ecosystem takes time. I’ve been using open source software since 1980s. Now I can use open source on tablets and phones. All my apps work because they’re open source.
The ecosystem would be now even better if more people would have put their choices that way. They didn’t. That was a choice, whether they realized it or not.
- Comment on Gmail users warned to opt out of new feature - what we know 3 weeks ago:
That’s what the consumers collectively wanted. Whether they knew it, or not.
- Comment on UK wind farms generate a record 22.7 GW of power on a single day 3 weeks ago:
Much more interesting than peak power at a certain moment is energy generation over a meaningful period.
- Comment on Sam Altman and husband reportedly working to genetically engineer babies from having hereditary disease 3 weeks ago:
G factor is highly correlated with real-life achievements. I make no other claim.
- Comment on Sam Altman and husband reportedly working to genetically engineer babies from having hereditary disease 3 weeks ago:
High IQ would be sure nice, but has a large number of genes involved. Not that you need a high IQ as a farmer in a low technology future.

My 2 kWp DIY is on the roof.
- Comment on Race to the Bottom - What do the union struggles of IT workers in India tell us about the present crisis in the global tech sector? 4 weeks ago:
AI is primarily threatening junior level positions, since it allows a senior to offload tedious/elementary work to automation. This increases productivity but makes checking for AI confabulation/hallucination necessary.

I suggest something more physical.

Do not take a mobile device on demonstrations if you can’t verify it respects airplane mode. E.g. GOS does, but I’m not aware of any other such.

I use hardware TAN generators but my bank’s app works on LineageOS and GrapheneOS. If my travel service doesn’t accept printed out documents then it is not a travel service I will use.

This has not yet happened even in the most authoritarian jurisdictions, with the possible exception of North Korea. The Internet is built with open protocols so any restrictions will have to be implemented on the network edge. There is no vendor locking for on-prem routers in multiple countries. As long as all purpose computers are not illegal you can still use strong encryption and anonymizing services on your end devices on your own network. So any mandatory surveillance and tracking will have no power there.
- Comment on 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower 5 weeks ago:
Simplicity, no transmission. As to unsprung weight, designs like these have a ridiculous power density, so add only very little. Advanced suspensions are active anyway, so just part of the wheel robot.

- Comment on China releases 'UBIOS' standard to replace UEFI — Huawei-backed BIOS firmware replacement charges China's domestic computing goals 1 month ago:
OpenBoot at Sun and Apple had a ggo thing going for a while. Too bad they didn’t release it as open source. In theory you could deliver architecture-independent drivers that ship as firmware on device.
