Didn't Canada already learn this lesson the hard way? How would these French papers like to have all their news banned from X and perhaps even all their journalists?

Well, in my opinion, 1) you have to feed yourself in real life, you should pull your weight in prison too, and 2) the whole reason you're there is that you did something presumably wrong, and the consequences for that have to suck if t

I think whatever warning is OK with the users who pay them. There's a feedback mechanism there, they get paid more the more customers they have. I don't know how most mullvad users use it, but I've never used their ovpn confi

Yes, currently the house, and to a good degree everything else including state governments, represent the parties. Supposedly parties represent their members by proxy as an unofficial institution, but I think you and I would agree that th

Well, of by "awry" you mean that, as has happened this year, the Republicans get the majority popular vote, then it's not really a principled stance on the fairness or little d democratic effectiveness of the electoral colleg

How is this scary? So I understand fears and concerns about greenhouse gas emissions, including methane, from fossil fuel and industrial production. But from natural sources, these are part of the carbon cycle and remain net neutral in aggr

This is a good decision all things considered, but there are plenty of hardware vendors with proprietary firmware that only support ovpn and now mullvad is unusable for them. I suppose the onus is on them to support wireguard, but still thi

I knew it was coming. Development of starlink wasn't just about developing it once, it was also about integrating starship and the satellite technology to enable quick to spin up global networks around planets, very forward looking. Th

Yes, and as of today that party would be the one youre (probably) not thinking of.

It would require a modification to the constitution, Article 1 Section 10 Clause 3 prohibits the states from entering into any compact with one another without the consent of congress. Congress could consent to it, which would bypass the am

Yeah sure. So just for reference, here's a Wikipedia article about this amendment https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Apportionment_... You wind up with one representative for every 50,000 people, minimu

I think that it would be a way to get the US closer to popular vote aligning with the election result, and in a way that allows states to make the change themselves instead of requiring a constitutional amendment or somrthing. You'll n

I think this is a boringly naive take, and generally I think the author is quite a techno optimist transhumanist type and that is blinding him to some realities. The first of those I see, which is contentious among tech people, is that AI i

That sounds like a really messed up set of incentives. These are Norwegians , they have a right by birth to live in Norway and do business with their countrymen, and their government is saying "go find another tribe to join, we don&#x

Well, the money they made in that country was the result of services they provided to the people of that country. The country already benefitted and to lay claim to the return they got for doing that is to say that they were slaves when pro

The disadvantage is the same as with 401ks and the like: such a system would require every citizen to have a relationship with a fund manager. At least 401k is opt in and voluntary. Wall street would love such an arrangement, and they get g

Highly ideological? You're talking as if the goal here were to run off rich people from the country, and not the stated purpose, to generate more government revenue from people who can afford it. If the goal is to run off rich people,

If that's true, then why do all the subreddits feel dead? Everything but the big default subreddits will have the same set of posts on their home page for weeks, and the big ones seem filled with bot spam and manipulation. I'm goi

A tangent, but the US spends only 200 billion a year on power generation? For all industry, every household, every street lamp, everything? That's crazy, I had no idea, you hear the government throw much bigger numbers out there about

I wonder if it's gonna be illegal in Australia, in light of the fact that it's a depiction of an underage girl that's probably getting raped in the confession booth.

Can't wait to see someone find a prompt injection attack talking to one of these on twitter that gets the agent to send him all it's money. I'm gonna have a very predictable laugh.

Really... I've run it for a few minutes and couldn't get networking lol but it ran in a single window, I guess I need to look into how to use it like that, would be useful sometimes.

But I thought the experience with waydroid is running an android system in a window? You can run android applications directly in Linux as their own "native" window using waydroid?

by big-green-man 2y ago
But waydroid is just an android system in a window. That's really not as useful as it could be, especially with a mouse and keyboard.

Do you intend on giving the world access to this thing you shared with us? Or is it going to stay private? I'll request access but I'd like to see what you have, and it's kind of silly to publish this to a public forum withou

The article already went over the meaningless distinction between natural and unnatural, and I've already agreed with that. Are any of them hazardous to humans or biomes? Also this concentration on the organicness of plastics fails t

What a loaf of crap. I'm one of those people that doesn't think plastics are the devil, that doesn't think natural == good and unnatural == bad, basically the kind of people this guy expects to be in agreement with him. I wa
