The person you're responding to is asserting that the privacy of the jet owners apparently matters, but the privacy of Meta users doesn't (presumably due to the way they do business etc.)

IMO, people who own and regularly fly in private jets are definitely worthy of the scrutiny -- not to mention the flight tracking data is public information. That said, to me it's redundant: social platforms owned by publicly-traded c

Since it's apparently a 3d map (?) I'd be curious if they will re-run the scan and compare between the scans? Pure speculation my part, but that would be pretty interesting, surely.

Ehh, Framework isn't open-source hardware and its repairability is reliant on a single vendor. A nice step in the right direction, but MNT is the only company making computers that meet the bar for true "anyone can make their own

Nice, I've got the same (default colorway)! Such a good keyboard! I built/bought many keyboards and finally got tired of the search and decided to finally try the fabled Topre... so good <3

Same. My newest computer is from 2015... That said, at least one vendor is making computers I'm willing to purchase: https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/mnt-reform-next

Holy. This is so dire. I like how "smart" is always a euphemism for "shitty" when it's the prefix of a technology product.

Ah man, don't go in there with a shortwave receiver and scan through the dozens/hundreds of stations you'll pick up anywhere in North America (or really anywhere in the world)... :\

Yeah, GL.iNet GL-AR300M16-Ext is perfect for this purpose, very affordable and compact. You can configure the wireguard client, and then "Block non-VPN traffic" so it allows ONLY connecting through the VPN. Very handy! GL-SFT12

3d scanning is a pretty common technique to get some example geometry for stuff in games. It's not difficult to retopologize the scans to work better in a game engine. I don't know much about those pipelines though, but either w

Yeah, I've contacted numerous owners of personal/small sites and they are usually surprised, and never have any idea why I was blocked (not sure if it's an aspect of CF not revealing the reason, or the owner not knowing how t

Nice. I canceled a service recently and I had to "continue to cancel" and click on other such "confirmations" such that I think I proceeded through 7-8 pages before my subscription was actually canceled. Truly manipula

Hmm, feels like the article could have been so much longer.. it's a pretty cool topic. Sadly, all the 1-or-2-sentence paragraphs makes it feel like a Goosebumps novel or something. Really awkward presentation.

Thanks for sharing. Last time I updated the hugo version I built my site with, it was indeed a good few hours of altering the template customizations I had made. Luckily as someone else on here said, having lots of documentation available

Yeah, and so far EVs almost universally have a couple "no-go" bullet points for me: touch screen controls, and always-online. Either of those just instantly excludes such a vehicle from my consideration. Uhh, unsurprisingly, I

Nice, that's really good to hear! Hopefully other jurisdictions follow the lead there!

No doubt. I hope there's more pushback against that crap.

Nice, I'm glad to hear LFP batteries are gaining popularity. More stable, no nickel or cobalt, IIRC cheaper to produce, way more charge cycles, and slower degradation of overall capacity.

Yeah, the amount of issues I hear about with chargers not working, and everything relying on using some app? I'm not installing a smartphone app to charge a battery! So far I'm not feeling too tempted about electric vehicles. I

Yeah, my original post is focused on the idea that "getting everyone on ozempic" isn't a long-term sustainable solution to obesity. It is a reactive, band-aid workaround that will never tackle the underlying causes. It will
