It was meant to say that multiple vehicles share the same drivetrain model, not the same unit.

Firefox Flatpak has neither write or read permission to your home directory. At least that's my take from browsing file:///home/myuser. If you try to open or save a file using the native dialogs, you do grant the ap

I'm inclined to believe that preventing food particles from rotting between my teeth is a measurable impact in itself, regardless of whether it directly impacts my health.

I couldn't reproduce the tty example, but it might as well be a mistake on my side. Other than this, the sandboxing spec itself is as safe as I'd expect. I reckon that Wayland applications not packaged to require $HOME access or s

Do you mean you don't trust it? Because they do describe its sandboxing as a security feature.

On the Linux side, aren't Flatpak and Podman enough, and even more granular, to limit file system access in the absence of pledge?

Are you referring to the speech that the judge ordered to be taken down? I don't know the details, but it seems the request was related to alleged anti-democratic remarks. I'm not familiar with Brazilian law, but I believe that so

Doesn't that quote support the judge's position, though? X is being treated just like all other citizens. The page you linked also states "no one is above the law," so I'm sincerely not sure who we're talking a

You're right that electric showerheads provide instant heat. My comparison was based on the electric showerhead I have at home, which can't heat very much due to electrical limitations. It's definitely not the case of every i

You're absolutely right that they're common in poor countries and that we can't afford more modern and safer alternatives. Not to mention that the more modern alternatives heat the water much more effectively, providing way m

In some countries, electric showers use a metal coil as a heating element, similar to a spring, located directly in the showerhead. When you turn on the faucet, water fills the showerhead and touches the metal, effectively bringing the posi

I can't tell if that's sarcasm, but that's a thing already, called honey pot. Very often, you set it up to let attackers in so you can analyze what they're doing and protect yourself better.

I wonder, though, why there are so few incidents where this type of shower is prevalent, given that people not used to it are so worried. If the fatality rate were 0.0001%, hundreds of people would die every day.

On a related note, I wonder if people around the world are familiar with electric showers. Essentially, it's a resistance similar to the one found in a toaster, placed right inside the showerhead. It heats the water as it flows through

When you say that reusing patterns and components is very hard to do in code, do you mean this applies even when building a reference page in code, with your design system and all of your components?
