While this is BS, rotisserie chicken is unfortunately actually a splurge nowadays 😅

I am very glad to be vegan, even if you only consider the money aspect, the savings are absolutely worth it 😂

Excellent news ! I have been preaching the good word of Codeberg for months, delighted to see it’s working.

If I can get NixOS to move, I will be the happiest gal in the world…

Comment sections removed ? That should be a feature !

I had an extension that removed those, amongst other things, but that part broke. Most video comments on YouTube are incredibly stupid, I’d rather just not have to see them.

Break any pair you see out in public. Don’t assault the user, only break their glasses !

That has existed since the early 2010s. This patent should have been rejected on the grounds that it is insufficiently innovative.

(To say nothing of the idiocy of the idea. Patents aren’t concerned whether your ideas are idiotic or not, just whether they’re new enough that you deserve credit for them)

Ditch Google Play !

You can use Obtainium and F-Droid to install apps as directly from the Developer as possible.

You can use Aurora Store to get things from the App Store anonymously.

If you want, you can install /e/os (any phone) or GrapheneOS (Pixels only) to de-google your Android as much as possible !

“Notorious fool joins band of other notorious fools”

The problem of course is that, bad as it may be to think this way, people (including me !) absolutely do think this way by default, unless consciously making the effort not to.

Maybe this can be deconstructed, but until then we need a good dose of “Realpolitik” that takes those biases into account, at least if we want to achieve anything concrete.

There is some truth to the “us vs them” between elites and the people, and the current elite is (somehow) very good at making a big part of the people they oppress think that “actually, you’re part of the elite too !”

Unfortunately, optics are incredibly important to win public opinion. As a radical leftist myself, I have little to no compassion for the man who died ; nonetheless I hope this doesn’t start a pattern.

Many people see these things as entirely vibes-based, so if we don’t look like the good guys, to many people that’s enough to decide we aren’t the good guys.

According to the Financial Times, he said that creating regulatory barriers would be harmful in a context of rapid technological advancement.

Are we on a context of rapid technological advancement ? I would say we are in a context of dire technological stagnation.

«AI» is a mirage that is utterly failing at pretty much everything it is applied to, and in every other domain I would say tech progress is coming to a halt now that our new feudal lords have conquered so much of the market.

This push by the EU is, apart from digital sovereignty, a very necessary push to get some innovation going again. I hope more complementary measures will follow ; we really need hardware sovereignty as well.

The article isn’t clear on one thing : was it an analog or digital signal ?

The results are entirely unsurprising if the signal was digital. Also, I’d like to see a similar test in an environment with more electrical interference, I think the unshielded materials would fare less well there.
