This is absurd.
A reasonable law would have been to require operating systems meant for individual use to ship either parental control software, or a disclaimer to the fact they do not ; and then specifiy what features said parental controls are to have, with a certification badge (just like Energy Star) for verified systems and/or add-on parental control software.
I use NixOS on everything ! This way, I can re-use parts of my configuration as a base, and customise only the few things that need to change from one machine to the other.
The only exception is my Steam Deck. I trust Valve on that one, and my usage of it is so different from other computers as to make 95% of my config entirely irrelevant anyway.
First they came for our jobs, next our hobbies, now for our very entertainment ? Who could ever ask for a feature such as this !?
Switzerland is not a safe jurisdiction.
I used to make fun of vegans. Now I am one of them x)
I don’t understand why people still buy consoles. There used to be so many reasons to do so, that are all evaporating away…
I don’t think there is a point anymore.
I’m personally focusing on the parts of tech I still find enjoyable. Chip / circuit design, OS and low level programming, and Formal Verification.
All of the patient detailed work that AI is never going to be able to do, because it has to be perfect to work. I feel lucky that I enjoy this type of work, it seems to be very much against the Zeitgeist.
Since I have to carry a keyboard anyway, I’m just going to carry a full laptop instead.
Do not link Lunduke in here. He is, literally, an insane bigot.
It does not matter how factual or not the particular thing he is reporting on in this particular instance is.
One of the chief things that make macbooks commendable over PCs is the build quality. While I don’t doubt there are very many PCs with better hardware at that price point, often macs are superior by robustness, display resolution, and the quality of their keyboards and trackpads.
I hope this cheaper model doesn’t cheap out on that front. And if it also gets good Asahi Linux support, then it would get me to recommend it above anything else.
We will see soon enough.
The first one was an excuse to get a look at some virtual ass.
Now I don’t necessarily object to that, but maybe also put a well-made story in there, too ? Bayonetta is also an excuse to get a look at some virtual ass, yet no one objects because it makes sense in-universe.
But if they partnered with GrapheneOS, there could have been a concerted effort to remedy that.
Welp. This comment has completely killed all my enthusiasm for matrix 😅 I had no idea it was such a horrible mess under the hood…
I’m trying to move some communities off Discord to something self hosted but I don’t know enough about SMPP to know if it would do the job.
50 people is an irrelevant sample size.
Well, fuck. I really hoped they would pick FairPhone. Motorola is… Okay. I guess they made the Nexus 5 ; which was one of the best phones ever.
I hope they make a SMALL one, I am so tired of this GIGANTIC pixel 9.
I really hope he kills a second one of those fuckers, then.

No. In interpreted languages that is kinda true, in compiled languages that is definitely false.
The code is a simplification. It has a direct relationship to what actually happens, yes, but most often glosses over the details (even in C and other very low level languages)
Pretty sure the same soda from cans vs bottles rarely has the same formula. Specifically Coca-Cola, it tastes way different !
In Brookhaven I usually break into people’s houses by exploiting the sleeping bag and the ladder.
I have a “cardboard box” outfit made especially for that purpose so that I can hide and look like a prop.
People get exceedingly mad when you rob their house’s money safebox, even though that doesn’t actually take any money from them in-game at all, and I think that’s hilarious.
