I was going to recommend the open source "Barcode Scanner" app also known as "zxing" on GitHub. However when looking at the app's page, I noticed that someone seems to be engaging in some kind of review-bombing with that app. There are tons of reviews claiming that it was recently updated and has highly intrusive full page popup ads. But looking at the version info, the app hasn't seen an update for over 2 years and the repository is in maintenance mode, and I nor anybody else that I know has seen a single ad when using it.

I wonder if this is a concerted effort to steer impressionable people away from a "real" FOSS QR code reader app and direct them to a malicious one instead, using scare tactics.
>Oh come on. There was a rioter wearing a "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirt in the Capitol this week.

Yeah, so? What part of this is not already covered by my "few and far between" comment?

And what part of that anecdotal isolated example proves that Nazis are anything like a real presense in US politics, or that the people deplatformed and silenced are kept to Nazis or people of that kind?

Would you point to some persons wearing a "class war", "kill the rich" or some questionable communist leader (e.g. Stalin or Mao), or "Camp Gulag" t-shirt in a liberal rally as excuse to deplatform people?

(And I say that as a European, sympathetic to communism, leftie - just one that can't stant cant).

Was Donald Trump - a ho-hum president compared to Reagan as concerning the social damage his Reaganomics did, and less hawkish compared to Clinton, Bush, and Obama - a nazi (and thus 40% voting for him Nazi supporters)? Or is it just either hysteria or a code for "people we disagree with politically" (and can use the real-world equivalent of Godwin's law to to yield political wins over)?
Sounds like it might be related to the reviews for this app?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.zxi...

A 2020 review talks about ads appearing after a recent "update", but the app hasn't pushed an update since 2018!

I've always had this app installed and never experienced adware, perhaps those reviews are left by people falling victim to the copycat scam?
Really neat. I've been looking for something like this to try out open source FPGA development tools, just wish it came with a usb-c port instead of micro.

No, it's because the grid was angled relative to the road (and the surrounding hillside). If you regard the road as level, that grid was a sudden steep incline or decline, and after that the road suddenly returned to level.

They fixed it by reworking the road so get rid of the suddenness.
so there are a ton of different apps for which you can pay to get a feature that ios has builtin. great

We're not discussing foreign policy but domestic politics and media as they are within the US. How the rest of the world judges them isn't relevant, and would be the same as someone in the US talking about how things are going in Zimbabwe as they look to us here.

The rest of the world is not a single monolithic group either so I don't see the point of your sweeping generalizations.
No, I think Israel needs to go sit at the kiddie table until they respect the rights of everyone who lives in their country. Did you miss the part about how no Arab party has ever been invited to join a ruling coalition, by any chance? Or the part about how Israeli law explicitly says that only Jews have the right to national self determination? These are facts, buddy. That you are unconvinced by what I've put right in front of your nose shows your bias.
It wasn't a QR code reader that was the problem, it was a malware posing as a QR code reader. It didn't sound like the author downloaded a QR code reader and happened to get malware. He got malware from some source which installed itself that way.

I had a QR reader in my camera app on some old Androids, around 2011 or so, but maybe it was because I then often was running custom ROMs? Or because back then QR codes were hyped and used for everything? Anyways, in 2019 or so it was included again in the native camera app on all Samsungs.

While I get the allure of "it just works", having a niche feature that's basically never used and easily installed anyway seems like a weird hill to die on.

Agreed. My thesis was on the genetics of schizophrenia. A genetic contribution has been shown through twin adoption studies. Researching the literature, it turned out that there are hundreds of theories on the etiology of this psychosis. This was two decades ago. Hard biology eludes us to this day.
> You can see them drag someone down the stairs in the first few seconds of the video and then you see them beating someone on the ground.

It looks to me more like flag-holding-man throws it away to help someone get up, who then joins the protestors. The police officer in the yellow vest is under the arch on the right on the start, away from where the protestors are doing whatever they are doing. When a bloke in black gets up off the ground he joins the protestors too.

I don't think that is a video of protestors beating a policeman. If they were the video would probably have been more violent. I think the protestors might be helping the bloke in the blue jacket stand up at the start.

The intent of the mob is entirely comparable, at any rate. Protestors hurling stuff at police vs. protestors igniting stuff.

Wow, this sounds like a classic clickjacking vulnerability. That’s still possible on modern[ish] Android? Definitely interested in your write up.
Frankly, since I've moved to the Netherlands, every project I worked in seemed to exist exclusively to justify a comfy, lazy job for incompetent Dutch POs, scrum masters,"customer journey experts", copywriters, designers. There is way too much money in this country and an incredible amount of bullshit jobs.

Well if you have designated source (s) and sink (t) in a directed network, then yes, finding max s-t flow and min s-t cut are dual problems. Here the paper seems to be dealing with undirected graphs and all cuts in them, not necessarily between a given pair of vertices, so it is slightly different.
That's exactly the problem. If you present a number but it's uneven for all kinds of reason it's a bad measure. And people will go around and unfairly point at projects being "bad for new contributors" with how you present it.

One thing I miss very much is some kind of spatial voice conference software with virtual characters. I have seen a videogame-like attempt, but nothing for real business or real events. I thinking something like a full 3D models of the people freely moving around in a virtual office or something.

The current solutions where it shows everybody's face is not the best solution for bigger events or conferences, where you can go from conversation to conversation freely.
It would be very minimal compared to a game, like one room or something, but the most added value would be to be present, more actively participate and not just listen somebody else talking.
That says "seditious conspiracy", not "sedition". I'm not saying it's wrong to call that "sedition" by extension, if you like, I'm just confused because I didn't get the memo on how the word is being used now.

All my life, "sedition" has meant, as far as I knew, criticism of the government, possibly false criticism. Nor did I know of laws against it since around a hundred years ago or more.

Here is something saying sedition is:

"The federal crime of advocating insurrection against the government through speeches and publications."

https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/sedition

Here is a part of the law that sounds like it's outlawing sedition even though it doesn't actually include the word: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2385

The significance, ultimately, is I'm suspicious that someone is pushing this term because they want to turn around and outlaw criticizing the government and say Democrats asked for it. Or, even if nobody has that plan yet, that using the term carelessly could invite it.
Needs (1982) in title, or some other clarification of how long ago the research was done.
Decertifying a self driving car does nothing considering that today the driver is legally 100% responsible for the driving. Regardless of how manufacturers sell their "fully self driving cars", they are all still a "hotdog/not hotdog" type intelligence and the tech is there just to assist the driver, not replace.

I don't believe we'll solve autonomous driving too soon without adapting the infrastructure to it rather than the other way around. At this rate we'll have truly self driving cars (not "straight line, follow the highway lane self driving") right around the time everyone starts taking most personal cars off the road to replace them with something more efficient that better suits cities of millions. But right now too many people and manufacturers are lying to themselves that self driving cars are right around the corner, and even that they're mostly here.

The solution would be to fix the disinformation surrounding self driving tech and fining the hell out of any manufacturer that doesn't make it painfully clear on every channel that the tech is very limited, mentioning also the limits of the system (e.g. types of traffic it was tested on, how many road signs it can recognize out of the total, how much of the regular driving experience do those conditions cover, how well did it do compared to an average human driver). All in "human" language.
Yup, also a workaround I use very often.

One of my therapists at one point described how the mental health community wanted to move away from labelling people into boxes (especially for Autism and ADHD).

They're a series of traits which people can have at in different quantities individually.

One of the challenges seems to be that health insurances work expecting a concrete diagnose, and this labelling satisfies this need.
Discord Is Embarrassing
Are you seriously comparing a gaming XMG Clevo laptop (I looked up the Clevo NH57ADS) that has been designed for the gaming crowd, that requires a 230W external power supply in a maxed out configuration, that is nearly 3x heavier and 3x thicker than a 13" MacBook Air ultraportable, more than 2.5x heavier and 2x thicker than a 13" MacBook Pro? I could not quickly find stats on the battery life for the latest and greatest Clevo NH57ADS, but – since they use a desktop CPU in it – I do not expect it to be that great.

If I were to apply your logic, I could then declare that my POWER9 2U blade is a portable device ahem laptop (technically, I can carry it around as well as keep the blade on my laps, yes) that surpasses any other known laptop in terms of hardware configurability, and Linux compatibility will be even greater, too.
Currently there's a large community forming around NixOS, which might be what you're looking for. That said NixOS still seems to have some rough edges so most people seem to prefer traditional distributions like Debian or Ubuntu.
Can you provide an actual example of hateful speech by Trump or a member of his cabinet?

> this horrible hateful speech for four years

I've heard the left call Trump a racist for 4 years, yet he has never said a racist word. If I'm wrong, provide an example.

So where's the beef?

You've fallen for the big lie.
You're forgetting something. If someone were to check the existence of the identities, they would eventually show up as fraudulent. Here, the "proof" works by absence (which is admittedly not logically correct according to the strict classical rules).¹

Consider that an investigation (that includes said identity check), concluding with a recount happens

• mandatory by design to a random small subset of voting districts

• everytime someone reports to the voting commission an indication or outright evidence of irregularities or fraud

• everytime there is a difference between head-to-head candidates smaller than a certain percentage

If GP is right and "nothing pans out", then that means that the CA Secretary of State web site is not an effective tool to commit voting fraud.

¹ A common analogue is: "I do not believe in gods. Theists can change my mind when they bring forth evidence that measures up to the extraordinary claim. In the last couple of thousands of years, this did not happen. Thus, I will live my life as if gods do not exist."

So he's a self-promoter and a provacateur, not a Trump supporter.

It took a lot of words by the NY Times to muddy the waters, but I don't see Trump behind Gionet's actions. This is why the MSM is laughed at by anybody with critical thinking skills - it's nonsense.

There is remarkably good evidence that some sort of hominin was in North America 300kya, and butchered a mastodon. No evidence which, and no evidence they left descendants to be encountered by later entrants.

The Americas amount to a fascinating laboratory testing successive waves of migration, if only we can learn to read the notes.
Being left-handed was once considered a terrible disease (and still is in some parts of the world).

Autism in pretty much the same: things are perceived and done differently, but that doesn't mean people are broken.

Following this metaphor, the real problem is that society keeps making only scissors (and mice) for right-handed people.
Young people in general have not been a reliable demographic.

Also a quick google search showed that 75% of the Tea Party were 45 or older (back in 2012).

My take is that there’s a desperation behind the last 20 years or so.

Haven’t you wondered what would cause an entire segment of the population to take a deep dive with thinly-disguised racists and Russian trolls?

I disagree. I used to be left-leaning for at least 20 years. But this sort of argument from the left, simply claiming "our cause is the better cause" has opened my eyes. I can no longer support the left, because of their bigottery.
As long as the engineers are replaceable by other engineers, that’s not really leverage. The leverage is the capital to pay the engineers’ salaries and the risk tolerance for the business model possibly failing.
"Linux on LiteX-Vexriscv" [1] is a fun way to get started. The readme includes a table of supported boards, as well as the amount of memory and maximum tested clock frequency.

I played with it on an OrangeCrab [2], and was shocked by how easy it was to get it running and by how well it worked despite the slow clock. The FPGA design includes peripherals for GPIO, PWM, serial interfaces, etc., and the kernel includes drivers to talk to them. On the OrangeCrab, everything I thought to try pretty much just worked as expected.

That being said, this is mostly just a fun exercise in SoC building, and isn't going to give you PC-like performance. VexRiscv is small and fast and super configurable, but you're still looking at "high-end microcontroller" rather than "low-end application processor" levels of performance.

What do you mean by flipped? I haven't been following too closely.
It seems like in Gtk3 and earlier there was an architectural reason, IIRC all the icons had to get created once and so would use loads of RAM.

In Gtk 4 the limitation is lifted, so this might be a matter of someone implementing it.
If you think USB is bad, try looking at all the various things that can be connected together with M.2 slots vs. the pairs of devices that will actually work together despite having the same slot. I have a degree in electrical engineering and after years I only just realized that there are actually PCIe M.2 storage devices that only support AHCI mode not NVMe.
The reflow issues as incredible in the Twitter mobile web, at least for me on Firefox for Android.

It even scrolls to a different point than where you were before!

Something similar happened to me a few years back after I accidentally tapped an ad in Chrome (an ad delivered by Google no less). While I didn't get infected the site did start displaying system like prompts (my phone was also vibrating at this point and playing the same sound I get when there's a natural disaster) saying my device was infected and that I should tap OK to download an apk.

I did several things after this:

- Reported the ad to Google (no followup from their side - naturally).

- Removed Chrome.

- Installed Firefox and uBlock Origin.

An important distinction I've also noticed is that the burning down and looting done in riots this summer was an act of spontaneoud anger and rage, not a planned event in order to create fear.

No one was planning the looting of a store three weeks in advance, and this is a really large difference being a riot representing the (unproductive) language of the unheard, and an insurrectionist plot.

The camera app is actually not one thing, even on Android One, it depends on hardware support. The Pixel one doesn't work on my Nokia for example.

My last few Android phones have had QR reading built in to the camera though, just not current Nokia. It might even be my biggest annoyance with it...

Similar situation with ElementaryOS not having icons on the desktop ... or many other Linux 'desktop oriented' distributions without icons on the desktop.
I think things have changed rather a lot since I was young. As I understand it, a large number of UK schools have standardised on continuous cursive, a trend which has been hastened by teachers using centralised resources from websites like "Twinkl".

This can cause significant problems, as schools often tell parents that their children are learning "cursive". This confuses a lot of people, as default cursive is a slightly different style to continuous, and resources provided by schools can be lacking.

When I tried discussing this with my sons' school, they were not very forthcoming.

See this link for an explanation of some of the issues:

> Linux and peertube are trying to offer an alternative to something of a much bigger scale, and most likely with more pressing ethical concerns

True.

But my point is that you could call both "a success" the moment that one singular person uses it as alternative. For that person it is a success!

With Peertube you need some network-effect, because one single person uploading and then watching those videos, can't be called "a success". But if a tiny niche, say a small group of specialist beekeepers, uses it to share instructional videos and no-one else in the entire world uses it, it can still be called "a success". Because for them it offers a solution.
