.? No the information entertainment system is fully proprietary as far as I know. Without any way of flashing something else like Linux on it.
- Comment on Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto? 2 weeks ago:
I'm pretty sure the sofware that is running on the information entertainment system from VW is fully proprietary without any way of flashing it with a custom rom or running Linux on it.
I'm not taking about connecting other devices like apple or android phone to this system.
- Comment on Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto? 2 weeks ago:
Of course I'm talking about the information entertainment system. Not the main Can bus that is handling breaking or whatever...

I wish I could develop my own apps on my own car. I mean I own the car.. why can't I "sideload" my own created apps? Their apps are sht anyways.

I'm curious to see how it will go with Albania. They have Diella Ai system in place. It's an Ai government.

Avoid Windows and avoid Ubuntu if possible. Try Linux Mint for example: https://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=322

- Comment on UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones 4 weeks ago:
200% agreed! They have no fking clue what the hack those "legislators" or "regulators" are doing. Have zero technical knowledge and they think you can breach encryption or something. Its simple a lot of incompetence and I hope they get punished by it.
- Comment on UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones 4 weeks ago:
It's not about nudity. It's about control. The government wants full control over your computer and mobile phones.
- Comment on UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones 4 weeks ago:
What a joke world we are living in. UK is getting too crazy with their "protection children" and introducing age limits by people providing their password and IDs. And chat control. And now this again, blocking these pictures would require massive privacy issues and closed source operating systems that will lock the user down like North Korea.

For example we have ap issues with lemmy, lemmy doesn't support multiple attachments. We use attachments for both links (url, other than image links) as well as images themselves can be an attachment.
But again AP fails, and lemmy only shows the picture.

I fully agree. And you nailed it. This was exactly what I try to explain what is wrong with ActivityPub FEPs.
Thank you, we do indeed publish those schemas, these are coming from the code. So our documentation build is also relying on our code to expose these schemas, and that's also why I can guarantee it's always up to date.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Hi Melroy from Mbin. It's true what you are saying Julian. These FEPs forms the basic of the fediverse.
But at the same time I hate those FEPs alot. I would rather see a more detailed and better described ActivityPub protocol v2.0 or 3.0. My point is that the current ActivityPub is way too vague.And we need dozens of various FEPs to get the features we actually need and want to get the basis features of today. Currently it's hard to read, there is no single document. So single source of truth. All FEPs are actually optional to implement. And it's a mess.
Could you imagine if an internet standard like http or TCP was documented like this? It would never have worked.

Maybe there were just testing if fail over was working correctly when I turn off this machine. Well, in that case fail over didn't work xd

I was very surprised that Linus (T) didn't knew about arch btw. And even didn't know about Linux ISO joke.. Come on.. Linus is really only looking at emails.

Well.. Not really. I watch it to the end. It still feels a bit off.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 month ago:
yeah. I just don't recommend Mozilla anymore. Do some searches online about the recent developments about Mozilla, "AI" and also bought an ad company: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/advertising/mozilla-anonym-raising-the-bar-for-privacy-preserving-digital-advertising/ (ps this is a marketing blog article of course.. read between the lines)
Look.. I will not use FF anymore. Hence I use a fork instead.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 month ago:
That being said. Do we want to go back to 30 windows? I don't think so.
Floorp has additional features that keep you managed. Like Workspaces. And also you can group tabs. Or even use colored tabs.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 month ago:
Try floorp and use workspaces or colored tabs
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 month ago:
They use to be new window (not like a pop up, but a new window). Today every new page or "new window" becomes a new tab.
And before you know it, you have dozens of tabs open. But no way you use to have 30 different windows open, since that would drive you crazy with alt+tab.
So the bar is low and it's easy to keep them open as well. So people will.

- Comment on Widespread Cloudflare outage blamed on mysterious traffic spike 1 month ago:
I understand the need for anti-bot or DDoS protection, but there are better and free options today. Like Anubis. So please, in the love of The Internet, move away from cloudflare. Ideally yesterday already.
- Comment on Widespread Cloudflare outage blamed on mysterious traffic spike 1 month ago:
I hope more websites will move away from cloudflare. I could not access 90% of the web anymore. This is insane if just 1 company goes down, the whole internet is dead. The internet is broken!
- Comment on Looks like now Mbin, at least on mobile, mixes threads and microblog posts 1 month ago:
Do you like the setting to be opt-out so "all" will be the default. Or should we make this combined frontpage a opt-in feature (default will stay "threads")?
- Comment on Looks like now Mbin, at least on mobile, mixes threads and microblog posts 1 month ago:
In my case I do also use "sub" feed. But I still want to see only threads by default. I do use microblogs as well, but if I want to see posts, I click on the Microblog menu.
