Yeah, no. iPhone VPN apps aren’t the route that Russian hackers are taking.

To be fair, I was in the camp of “put a sock in it” until I reached a point of “alright FINE, I’ll give it a go” and now I’m joining the choir on it, desktop Linux is a dream.

most Linux systems don’t even use DHCP

WTF are you smoking? WTF is wrong with you that you think such a dumb claim would go unscrutinized? I would play Russian roulette on the chances of a random Linux installation on a random network talking DHCP.

Edit, in case being charitable helps: DNS and IP address allocation aren’t the only things that happen over DHCP. And even then the odds are overwhelming that those are being broadcast that way.

I can confirm both Pixels and Samsung phones have that feature (1/2/4 hours or indefinite). On my current phone (Samsung) you get the option by holding the DND button.

The consumer vehicle side of Polestar has always been exclusively electric, and was launched 7 years ago with the Polestar 1

Welp, looks like my next hardware isn’t gonna be Dell 🤷‍♂️

I was about to say. There’s a million concerns over environmental and economic effects (that I’ll own up to ignoring when visiting family or exploring), but safety is still wayyy down the list. The statistic about being 20x more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the airport than the flight itself still holds very firmly true (and I’m being SUPER conservative about those numbers in case recent events tilt it, it’s still a ~800x per-mile ratio).

Ditto, I practically could’ve wrote that comment myself

Sure, but this is less than nothing. It literally applies 0 friction against AI and is completely and totally unenforceable. AND it’s a laughing stock for everyone and sucks the oxygen out of better AI regulation groups and think-tanks.

Luckily Google is here to save us. Just replace the word “save” with “screw”. Ad revenue over safety, always.

Oh hell yeah now I get to fart in my friends faces without being physically present

I’ll make the “China bad” post. There are very few governments with an ego as fragile as China’s. It barely even makes sense since they have the weight and soft power to lead by example, or develop healthy ties with the rest of the world. But they just. Don’t. It really gives the impression that all is not well within their borders.

Fwiw, it’s not videos, it’s a Spotify clone.

Have the new Z Fold after years of owning borderline-phablets and the usability is much better. My previous phone (Galaxy S20+) felt too big and painful to use one-handed, yet typing with two hands felt awkward. This splits the use cases. Slim one-hand phone on the outside. Mini-tablet typing monster on the inside. 🤌

I agree, I have some hope as common folk get more and more tuned in, especially as obscure runs like the Wisconsin Supreme Court judgeship and votes against the Ohio constitutional amendment process change result in overwhelming positive outcomes.

It’s not…? It’s literally just another social media site, it doesn’t hook into ActivityPub or any cross-broadcast protocol. I don’t know why you’re throwing around the word “fediverse” here.

Is Mozilla 100% forced to comply with this? What’s to stop them from dropping their French presence and keep serving the browser unaltered on the public web? Do they also then get added to the ban list?

The thought behind this is alarming and worrying, but the mechanism of action seems shoddy and not thought out at all.

Anyone with a Mac

Sorta, but people didn’t originally sign up for his company. People joined and set up channels of communication and outlets of information on a platform that got bought out and rapidly changed in unexpected ways.

I can buy the Oreo brand and only sell toothpaste-flavored Oreos and I think people would rightfully be pissed off. The first buyers would get a nasty surprise. Competitors would take off over time, but the nostalgia and attachment to the original product would still be there. “Remember Oreos before they fuxkin’ sucked?”
