I blame people like the author for the coming world war (technically we're already in it but it's not massive yet). They just regurgitate narratives without ever having an original thought and they don't understand they'

What about security? I didn't see it mentioned in the paper. Most of the "junkyard phones" are way out of support, who's going to build anything serious with this? It's a security disaster waiting to happen.

What was avoided in this case? A balloon isn't much more than a low flying satellite.

Good for you that you can choose only the best. The rest of us are in the trenches making do despite the unending stream of spaghetti code that cruel gods have chosen to torment us with.

Here is an anecdote to illustrate how "The Machine TM" tried to get me fired. For context, Microsoft introduced a "AI revamped Intellisense" in Visual Studio (not Code) a few months ago. It's not Copilot, it just ma

I have 14 years experience, same job. But as I said in another comment I have aging parents that I have to take care of and I live in a small town without opportunities. I had found a high paying job in Switzerland that was close enough but

My point was that I'm not a rarity, not everybody makes 100k+ a year even in the "West", there are a lot of people like me that have to watch carefully what they spend.

No I would still have to sit at work waiting for the clock to be at the right time to be allowed to leave.

I live in Belfort in eastern France near the Swiss and German border. It's a small town, there's not many opportunities here but I have aging parents I have to take care of so I can't move.

I don't think OP referred to authoritarianism about children, but authoritarianism in general. If you had tried to get over the wall you'd been shot and your family questioned. And they probably would have been suspects for the re

> $20/month feels like a nobrainer if you're in the West. I earn 2000€ per month as a C# dev in France, (assuming $1 == 1€) I just need a hundred subscriptions like that to have no money left at the end of the month. While I&#x

AFAIK most of the Dart server projects have been abandoned so I'm weary to try new ones. Let's hope this one will stick, it looks cool.

You can't stop these kinds of double edge swords from being developed but what I'd like is for people to get together and dev a counter to that, something like DetectDeepFace. For me everything (image, text, sound etc) that comes

I did exactly that: I use KDE.

by jmnicolas 4y ago
On the other hand KDE isn't very pretty and is a bit unstable. But Dolphin is the only file manager that I can tolerate and last time I tried Gnome (43 on Fedora 37 beta) it couldn't handle switching of my second monitor (it made

My 71yo mother is a Linux user. She just use Firefox and a couple Sudoku apps, so not exactly a power user. Before she was a Windows user and I had to regularly maintain her computer. Not anymore since Linux. Thanks Linux.

There are countless open source projects that don't charge a dime and don't have the "Gnome attitude". There's such a thing as too opinionated (and it's coming from someone that likes opinionated).

Thanks for the invitation but I live in eastern France so I'm not going to fly to Boston to search your house. At least you're living by your rules. Have you ever wondered what you lost by not having any embarrassing things to hid

Even cats have wildly different personalities so I don't think sleep training human babies have anything to do with their personalities.

When I meet someone like the author, I always ask them if I can search their house, after all they have nothing to hide. Somehow nobody ever accepted my offer. When I see how authoritarian tendencies thrived under the COVID "episode&qu

Except the other vaccines were not alpha products developed in a rush and they had not a full on massive propaganda machine trying to push them.

French electric grid won't cope this winter: our nuclear powerplants are at the end of their life (50+ yo), more than half of them are in maintenance. We're now a net importer of electricity, cuts are already planned for January.

I have the same problem with my ISP (Orange, France). In the router configuration (NAT / PAT something) it's possible to open a port on one machine that will be internet accessible. It also allows to link it to a No-Ip account so

Frankly I don't pay for tools. Money is tight at work and at home, so if it's not free it ain't happening.
