What the hell is with the Flurry of legal attacks against Valve now?
- Comment on System76 on Age Verification Laws 15 hours ago:
Hardly a ‘hive mind’ situation when everything governments all over the world and big corporations have shown, time and again, that they will step up the surveillance any chance they get, try to get away with it, and if they do (which happens all too often), step it up yet again, rinse and repeat.
But you follow your optimistic way of view, at least you’ll be happier than most of us until you see how right we’ve been all along.
- Comment on System76 on Age Verification Laws 2 days ago:
Know what? I’ll bite. Let’s have a civil discussion how this is either actually beneficial to ‘save the kids’ or, on the other hand, this is just the first step of a process designed to force full surveillance at the OS level, now that people are finally starting to care a bit about their privacy.
If it is to do something to keep the kids away from harm (you mentioned to reduce manipulation of kids) how does spinning 3 wheels with numbers, attached to no verification whatsoever, help? This is that useless ‘Are you over 18?’ pop-up all over again, where you just click ‘yes’ and move on with whatever it is you wanted to get away with. So, on that front, unless this is designed to put undue extra responsibility and work on the OS developers, this makes no sense (of course, I’m more than willing to hear you counter this theory).
Now, if it’s just that first step, the politicians trying to see what else they can get away with pushing on the population, one step at a time, next they will add ‘the OS will require a picture of the user holding an ID to confirm the entered date of birth, but it will remain local, the OS will just reply yes or no to the apps requesting the info’. Then it’ll be ‘will be sent to a government database for safeguarding’, and so on until you no longer can get away from not showing your face and ID to everyone out there.
Anyway, which one makes more sense to you, honestly?

No, they don’t. Fuck them and everything they stand fkr.

It’s not his law, it’s the precedent and how it’ll be used sd leverage later to push super invasive and manipulative shit.
- Comment on Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops 6 days ago:
You’re exactly at the perfect level to start getting your feet wet without losing productive time (as long as you don’t go on a distro-hop frenzy 🤣).
Weirdly enough, you’re way ahead of 99% of the tech-using population worldwide.

It’s unlikely that fact will change the repairability of the devices. They risk too much by posting biased and false information on that end.
- Comment on BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace 6 days ago:
Lol. I do break the law some times by speeding, but have almost no tickets, so that’s a win, haha.

I can attest that the blade battery doesn’t seem to care if you take it all the way to 100% or drop it as low as 5% regularly. I’ve had my car for over 3 years now, and the battery degradation has been negligible. I’ve lost 1% over all this time, and both our cars (BYD HAN and Tang) are consistently allowed to drop under 10% before we decide to go charge them back to 100%. Granted, we live in the Caribbean, so we don’t have to deal with cold weather ever.
- Comment on BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace 1 week ago:
Sounds about right. My experience in range difference is very similar.
- Comment on BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace 1 week ago:
Right. Open road should be more around 770Km. I have a BYD Han 2023 that has a claimed range of 550Km, and I get just about 420Km realistically, at a steady 110Km/h with a few bursts of up to 150Km/h to get away from idiots doing 80 on a 100 (or just to show off the torque to other types of idiots like BMW and some Tesla drivers 😏).
- Comment on Ideon: I'm building a self-hosted project cockpit on an infinite canvas (v0.5 update) 1 week ago:
OK, ready to be a guinea pig for another nice self-hosted service. Just let me know what you want to test from now on, and I’ll freely do so, break it if necessary, and try to put it back together.
Thanks, this is pretty cool.
Also, as others have mentioned, a bit of on how to configure the .env file and other modifications to the docker-compose.yml is always a good idea to make sure people that may not be as tech savvy have some idea on how to troubleshoot. For example, in the .env file the instructions on the ‘App URL’ are clear to me, and evidently to you, but I know of many that would not be able to get it to work over a cloudflare tunnel, for example, only because they wouldn’t touch this part.
Just something to keep in mind.

- Comment on Ideon: I'm building a self-hosted project cockpit on an infinite canvas (v0.5 update) 1 week ago:
Take your time. It’s by no means a deal breaker. I’m sucked into self-hosting deep enough that I can keep what’s in Obsidian right now and just wait until I can move it to Ideon. It wouldn’t be the first time I have 2 services running in parallel until I figure out which one I’m keeping. Hell, I did that for almost a year when I was in Joplin and then decided to move to Obsidian.
As for the divorce, I don’t think it’s going to happen any time soon. She wanted to catch-up on Solo Leveling, so I joined her. I’ll spin up the server tomorrow when she leaves for work 🤣
- Comment on Ideon: I'm building a self-hosted project cockpit on an infinite canvas (v0.5 update) 1 week ago:
No, I said I wasn’t playing with my server this weekend. I promised my wife. She’ll get pissed.
I guess I’m getting a divorce 🤣

And it isn’t wasteful to be forced to replace perfectly good hardware and filling landfills with it because fucking companies want to own your data, your money and your life? People like you are the reason these assholes feel empowered to push this crap.

- Comment on Apple brings age verification to UK users in iOS 26.4 beta - Users who don’t verify their age may not be able to download or purchase apps. 1 week ago:
I’ve been on GrapheneOS for years now, and I still don’t trust anyone ‘not to be government spyware’. I believe they are not bending to governments right now, but the way this is going, it wouldn’t surprise me if they end up being coerced to introduce backdoor at some point. I’m not saying that the GOS team would willingly do something like that, I am saying that, in this time we’re living in, this is not outside the realm of possibility.
Im preparing to, if necessary, move my personal life entirely out of the reach of the internet eventually, because at the speed these legislation and laws are being passed, anything connected will be a straight shot into our deepest thoughts.
Meanwhile, I’ll remain on GrapheneOS, CachyOS and ProxMox as long as they can be kept private.

About 1password publishing their pentesting results. Why put it behind a ‘give me your email address’ wall?

In my head that sounds like what they actually want to be called, not what they are. I’m pretty sure those drivers actually want to come across as arrogant.

BMW drivers have this fame of being douchebags (most absolutely are) , which makes me wonder, how the hell do we describe Tesla drivers then?
