And that's why need to keep using cash and non-KYC'd crypto.

If you don't want to play 3d games or run local LLMs, why is GPU acceleration important when you have a more than capable CPU for any desktop UI?

> GrapheneOS has built-in encrypted backup and restore. The backup tool on GrapheneOS doesn't work for a large percentage of app data. And it often silently fails to backup some data, so you don't even know where the gaps are.

I really really want this for GrapheneOS. The current backup situation is terrible and nowhere near being able to easily image and restore the entire phone (or at least user data).

It's obviously a balance. But if you're asking if say 1,000 lost lives per year is worth it to save the privacy of 350 million people, I would say yes. Just look at the 10's of thousands of people who die every year so that

I would have agreed with you a couple years ago. But a few motivated volunteer developers and some LLMs could do it (possibly along with some moderate community funding).

Why do we put so much focus on CO2 emissions? Sure, climate change is bad and has the potential to disrupt and end the lives of many in the future. But other forms of air pollution like pm2.5 particulates in the air are already causing an

I agree that Matrix has a lot of problems, at least when used with the Element app, but I've found that voice calls are much better with Matrix compared to Signal over a flaky network. It was as good as WhatsApp in my experience.

I didn't claim to be an expert in this particular area of security, but I have enough common sense to know that remote attestation is not "critical" for a corporate network. Perhaps it has valuable use cases for very large c

Why not just buy clothes that fit properly? I haven't tied a drawstring or used a belt in maybe 15 years, when I realized it was worth finding clothes that fit well. They're more comfortable and look better.

What's your definition of "abject poverty"? I find it hard to believe that half the US would meet the criteria for any reasonable definition.

After seeing the pictures, I assumed they were moving into the mass-market budget EV sedan market at a price 1/10th of that. $650k is a fine price for a Ferrari, but not one that looks as plain as that.

I'm surprised by Grok as well: https://grok.com/imagine/post/8d1eab88-737f-4d46-ba92-9b6502... Interesting that it does better at making the pelican peddle in the video generation than in image generation.

I can easily pay for a VPN service with crypto anonymously. I can also use a VPN run by a company outside my country of residence and jurisdiction. Neither of those is possible with my ISP.

You don't have to go back 30 years to see it. Just take a shared taxi in Sumatra. Most of the men and some women will be smoking. Inside the car. With the windows closed. Sitting next to babies and young children.

Bison are less selective eaters and tend to spread out more, so they're less damaging to grasslands than cattle. They also require less water, antibiotics, and general attention than cattle.
