That's a nice vision. However there are other issues than security ones. Some stuff is not allowed, like for example doing some grown-up things (sorry to be so vague). Self-publishing only works if a third party efficiently controls fo

No need to be negative ("utterly ridiculous"). And you seem to have misunderstood me. It's not about Apple locking something, its about Apple software on the hardware of your Asahi Linux system.

Or just try small claims and see.

Follow-up: Now I am afraid the victory of Asahi running Linux on Apple Silicon systems is only superficial. Apple still has a tight grip on how hardware is ran on a level lower than Linux. If I am wrong, please point out. I would be happy.

I have taken the time to watch the talk. What I have learnt (to my dismay): Complex hardware has their own software, like IME, but they do important things you can't turn off. The danger in this: hardware-based exploits. In other words

I think what happened is that some people perceive they go upwards even when going flat. I discovered that after I once tried to stop at the top of a hill but already was beyond the top because the car started to roll down by itself. Perhap

Let me paraphrase more generally. Crimes, like sexual abuse, do happen in private spaces like bedrooms. Some people propose or request that all private spaces have surveillance, for example with cameras. Data should be stored, analyzed and

Of course. Perhaps it is wrong to talk about middle management being replaced by AI. It seems that AI as of now is not very inventive. It is a clever mash-up of things that were already done by humans. But most employees just do that. They

Last year I tendered a logo redesign to freelancers on a specialized website. The experience was not pleasant. After all they are humans. They had diverging interests. Two designers did something I liked and I would have liked to combine th

It is my opinion that software problems tend be analyzed corresponding to these four axes: - Can an end-user solve the problem themselves? If so, tell them how, if not, display a generic error message telling them to ask for support (with a

Gamma rays are photons. Photons influence matter. One example is infrared which we sense as warmth. I am somewhat fuzzy here, but I imagine that these photons bump into the atoms of our skin such that they tend to shake more vigourously tha

Yes, this was a thing already thirty years ago. There's even a term for them: coded reference letters. I even got a reference letter explicitly declaring that it doesn't contain hidden codes. https://www.arbeitszeugnis.

In Switzerland you would have to prove that you work as a consultant, this means: You could switch to a different company if the gig runs out or you could take on a different company as a customer. A way would be to work for two different c

Thirty years ago I rent a wreck (anyone still know that company?). It was cheap but then I lost a hubcap or it was never on the car, I don't know. I was pressured to pay $50 on the spot but I managed to decline. I told them I need to t

It seems plant-based meat falls between two stools: vegetarians and vegans don't need a meat substitute and meat-eaters prefer the real deal.

One way I try to solve that problem in Rust: use repeated `let thing = simple.invocation();`. No need to rename the variable `thing` if not neccessary. Rust allows redefining a variable with the same name. Additionally I sometimes give the

It's not boring. I use Arch Linux sway on my Framework laptop. I have 23 virtual screens (one for each digit, one for each function key and an additional one), and they have different scaling. This means on some screens I don't ne

They go to a shady website telling them to open a terminal and entering `sudo rm -fr /`, and you got unlucky that they entered the same password they used when logging in. But! It's your fault! They shouldn't be able to sudo!

I hate ads. It's intrusive information. A few, some or many people would prefer to decide when they get information about a product. It seems a status quo for many people that advertisement finances a lot of things, however I posit tha

This type of discussion is typical. If all goes well, no worries, Signed Language is so beautiful, how can I learn to sign? and so on. If there are problems, Deaf people are used to rough treatment. And if they complain they are told off no

It's not possible to have a Signed Language interpreter around you all the time. Or did you? If not, how did you communicate with your coworkers? When I was working in companies I just lipread and talked German, and it worked mostly fi

So the good ones left when they realized what was going on and the mediocre ones stayed. I, being Deaf, would have been forced to stay with the mediocre ones because interviewing is difficult for me. I am lucky that I don't need a job
