This looks very cool, I'll be able to consider using it more if it when a free software license is selected for it - https://github.com/pkalogiros/AudioMass/issues/1

Nuclear batteries removing the need for electrical wiring seems very pie in the sky to me but perhaps I'm just ignorant of the practical application of it. Concrete seems far more common in residential construction outside of the U.S.

I have no specific knowledge of this but it looks like it is supported by ALSA so you could run Linux to keep it working. https://alsa.opensrc.org/Edirol_UA-25 but I suspect developing open source drivers for OS X might be

Corporate media is also pretty much an extension of corporate public relation firms a lot of the time. For instance I turned on broadcast TV for one minute this morning only to find a Amazon sponsored segment parading as a news piece promo

I think zulipchat has a usable UI but it's not as visually inviting as slack. Less brightness, colors, emoji and the like. It might actually have support for this stuff now as I've not tested the latest version. I'm not sayin

Goats are the pentesters of the barnyard or as my step-dad says a goat will show you any weakpoints in your fence.

I imagine the answer would be a little harder to calculate if you had to introduce the statistical probability of the goat eating the rope.

Yeah I had one and I donated it to a university computer science department in South America. I'm not sure if the students ever got much use out of it but I was happy to pass it on to someone who might have fun tinkering with it.

This maybe true for you but I know that I get a sense of satisfaction from releasing free software and knowing that people around the world are benefitting from it. Not everyone seems financial riches as the end goal of their efforts. Most

Yes in the other article in Wired that was on here he said they felt like it was important to add this feature because other messenger clients we're adding it. That was one of his primary justifications for it along with the promise of

Moxie seems to think that they need to do this to keep up with the Joneses, as they try to build some kind of decentralized alternative to WeChat. I guess we should have seen this coming when he got involved with MobileCoin. I'm not a

People should be free to make choices regarding their own body but the notion of "nature" as an anthromorphic problem solver and superiority of genes is pretty out of sync with our reality. There are many augmentations we use to h

I am kind of partial to the pan-psychic notion of all plants and animals who are living having something that could resemble consciousness or at least an experience of existing. It may not resemble the part of our consciousness that forms w

I had good experiences with System76 support. I've bought 2 laptops off of eBay and had no problem getting support even though I wasn't the original owner since the original owner bought the 2 year support package. If I had a loos

This is an exciting development. As someone who has supported the desktop use of Linux audio by community radio users I've found it very frustrating at times how things don't work. I remember a decade ago going to a presentation o

I don't think Facebook is likely to release a Linux based app. If they did it would likely be electron style. There also lots of Facebook apps that wrap the mobile website inside of a stand-alone "app" available on F-Droid. I

They point out the battery life doesn't last that long which I don't doubt. I suspect that power usage and battery optimization is one of the places where Linux could be improved quite a bit still.

If civilization collapses then I'm pretty sure bitcoins would be worthless as the whole mining chain collapses. I guess it is a good store of value in the more cyberpunk dystopia where large corporations continue to grow in influence a

If they ever did support federation I think it would make sense to have it include some level of coordinated service level agreements and vouching to avoid people signing up for random servers that someone then pulls the plug on. Also consi

This is a pretty big claim, or that NGOs cut down 70% of the land they buy. Do you have any links that contain news or evidence that this practice is widespread and the allowance change ?
