I don’t keep child porn on my phone (or any where else. I also don’t keep smallpox in my freezer or nuclear weapons on my basement. Noninvasive scans for these things probably make the world a better place in some ways.

The part I object to having my life disrupted by having my personal accounts unilaterally deleted by a fucking buggy bot. Our phones are too important to us to just have them shut off without notice. That’s bullshit.
Link? I'm curious to see what yours looks like.
We kinda did this with the snip cli (which is one of our other repos besides the ots cli). It's basically a wrapper around PGP with some additional features like vaults to facilitate sharing PGP encrypted secrets with a team. And... It takes less than 10 minutes to set up :P
This is what I came to say. Arch is fine but you are expected to babysit your PC and perform maintenance every week. And do that for each and every build in the house.

Things break often and I am not interested in fixing them. And that's not taking into account wife and kids builds. It took me a while to realize the Arch crowd largely doesn't get that not everyone is exciting to thinker with their OS all the time. I get it. I really do. But I am old

As you say, hopefully Valve's efforts are going to help with that. In fact, there's hardly a chance they won't because they business depends on it, at least long term.
So by that logic I could advertise coffee beans as handpicked by child slaves and you could buy my product completely guilt-free? I don’t think it’s functionally any different from arguing you aren’t a murderer simply because you’ve hired a hit man. Maybe you didn’t directly do the bad thing but you’ve paid someone to do the bad thing on you behalf. At a certain point isn’t financially supporting the bad-actor tantamount to supporting the bad action?
> I can actually find what I need so much quicker instead of trying to trace a single black cable through the rat's nest.

Another way I've solved this with standard black wires is to get multi-color tape and then put tape around both ends of the wire. You can get a 10 pack of assorted colors for like $10. It's handy if you have a rats nest of black computer wires.
You seem to be drawing no distinction between the following two possible outcomes:

1. Slow carbon emissions now despite the incredible amount we've already added and hope that the damage we've done is not enough to completely ruin the planet.

2. Do nothing and let emissions accelerate even further, create an even bigger problem than we've already created. Gamble to an even greater extent with our future.

Where in your incredibly long essay have you provided any reason to believe option 2 is better than option 1?

As far as I can tell, all you've done is prove we can't get back to pre-industrial levels quickly just by stopping emissions today. So what?

Who ever said the goal was to get back to pre-industrial levels? I think all climate science believers aim to do is reduce the extent of this incredible gamble and unintended experiment humanity has undertaken. Instead of gambling on a 1% odds of survival slot machine, climate scientists want to slow down and gamble on a 10% odds of survival slot machine. No one ever said we could move that probability back to 100% odds of survival slot machine.

To me your post comes across like someone on the Titanic saying 'Hey guys, we've looked at the data and situation, stop thinking these 20 lifeboats will be able to rescue us. Just give up.' when there are some people arguing that the ship isn't sinking at all, and others trying to quickly come up with ways to create more impromptu lifeboats, trying to figure out how to stop the ship from sinking, or trying to urge those that they can to get in the lifeboats, despite the fact some will still die. At the end of the day your post just encourages those who don't think the ship is sinking or those that think there's no point to try getting in a lifeboat or creating a new one out of furniture to just go back down below deck and listen to the violinists for another hour before drowning.
"assuming that energy usage from a mobile browser is in the same order of magnitude as a desktop browser"

Any basis for this assumption?

Desktop processors are much less optimized for power consumption, and desktop browsers are also used differently with websites often time left running in the background tab, compared to the mobile phone.

Can you share the mail processor that you use? Or how you went about finding one?
The usual response is to ask what's the share of modern FORTRAN compared to old FORTRAN. If most of the people working with FORTRAN work with the old one and don't modernize it, then the reputation is deserved.
I think people are making too much of Arch in this case. They aren't going to put Arch on Steam Deck and call it a day. It'll be more like putting Manjaro on it. Except it isn't Manjaro, it's their own distro based on Arch that they'll be managing and distributing. And honestly, Manjaro is one of the most stable, easy to use Linux distros I've used and it's based on Arch (in the same way that SteamOS will be based on Arch). So people need to calm their tits.

The endless criticism of everything needs to stop.
A Koshi chime. It makes a simply lovely sound.
I have a 6 years old arch installation, and an Ubuntu installation that has been going and was regularly updated to a recent release for about as long.

I spend more time just trying to have up-to-date software on that Ubuntu installation than I spend time configuring anything about the arch installation. Granted, sometimes you need to edit some files after an update (oh device names changed again in pulseaudio so your volume hotkeys need to be fixed!), but that's usually a matter of seconds because I already know how everything fits together. When a package is totally broken for some reason, I just downgrade it.

Meanwhile on Ubuntu your only option for getting up to date versions of Jameica/Hibiscus, pretty much any mapping software that OSM contributors/users would want to use, and a bucket list of other productivity software that tends to be useless if outdated, is to compile from source (don't forget to fix incompatibilities with Ubuntu's libraries!) or manual downloads. Oh I forgot to mention Subsurface and TurtleSport. Don't get me started about those. Bonus points for Ubuntu not having disabled the built-in version checks in a lot of software (it's usually just a compile time options or command line argument!), so it nags users that they're running outdated software when there's no way to upgrade!

At this point I'm convinced the only noteworthy software that Ubuntu manages to have acceptably recent versions of is Firefox. If all you want to do is browse web, Ubuntu might be less work.

I'm not surprised Ubuntu is trying to move to snap packages. That's their last ditch attempt at getting their house in order.

Arch will always at least have an automatically installing AUR package for you with a version that isn't from 2018.
Most of them I believe should allow you to get HiDPI (aka Retina) displays.

I've been looking at replacing my now 9y-old Macbook Pro (primarily running Manjaro Gnome as my daily driver) with a dedicated Linux laptop, and I've narrowed my selection down to the Lenovo ThinkPad P series or the Framework laptop. For the ThinkPad's, the 4k display (3840 x 2160) is recommended I believe (over the WQHD ones). The Framework laptop comes with a standard 2256 x 1504 display.

I used to be a kitchen manager and we would break down hundreds of boxes in addition to our regular duties. I would knuckle-punch (frog?) the tape, rip the flaps, and fold a box in one motion. These would be stacked in the recycling dumpster. What is the knife used for?

I’ve used an $8 gerber shard keychain tool for over 10 years.

It opens cardboard boxes, pries open covers, cuts strings, and drives the occasional screw. All without worrying about losing a Swiss army or leatherman, and it’s airport and government building friendly which is big for me.
That table seems... fine? Creating multiple data sets and comparing the various aspects of the products speed is a lot of additional work that you may not have signed up for, and is far from succinct (or easy). It might feel more empirical, but "feels faster" is fine. You're providing a free service - review of available products, and can use whatever metrics you choose.
Maybe he'd get more traction if he'd stop publicly eating the gunk on the bottom of his foot.

Congratulations on missing the joke!
The best I managed was with a proper sleeping hammock (not one with the evil spreader bars like he has here), and a bunch of blankets curled up into long 'snakes' that I could wrap around my body where necessary. I had an armature with a monitor over the hammock, although a laptop propped up with pillows could probably be done as well.

It was actually a really comfortable setup, which is not what these experiments usually result in for me, but it did take up a ton of space (indoor hammock stands are pretty huge). My favorite bit part is that a sleeping hammock is a pretty nice and dynamic thing to lay in. You can fidget and change positions every few minutes and it will usually reconfigure itself into a somewhat reasonable position. Plus, pop a VR headset on and you have a pretty good spaceship.
Seconding these. I put them in the hallway between my bedroom and bathroom. They automatically shut off when it gets light.

Modern pressure cooker saves 50+ hours of my time per year in cleaning and cooking time, not to mention gas costs.

Not "tiny," but the cost/benefit ratio is significant.
I went on a business trip to Japan in the early 2000's. On our second night, we had Shabu-Shabu, and didn't realize just how much it was doing to cost. It ended up being about $600 for four of us. In order to stay remotely in budget, we got almost every other meal from a local 7-11, and it was surprisingly good food.

You might be biased? I have no axe to grind with any company. I am looking for what serves me best.

We don't have a perfect option, sadly. I evaluated Android quite fairly, for about 5 years, and found it lacking. I find the iPhone lacking as well, but in departments that I care less about.

Do with my posts what you will, I'll only say once that I have no bias either way. IMO both sides of the duopoly suck... but I do need a smartphone. I picked what served me better at the time.
Yes, I think you are right - I was half joking. Its unlikely the faster websites would free up enough idle cpu time to make up for all that extra time it would take to implement the web with lower level, presumably more efficient frameworks.
You would be naive to believe other companies don’t do this or eventually will not do this.

In the same way I was naive to believe Apple was different from others and cared about user privacy.
Wow I’d be far too paranoid about them leaking things
With piston bolts [0] travelling long distances got even faster. They push the minecart forward at redstone tick speeds and are server side so they're really efficient.

But there was a faster way with a machine called "ender pearl cannon" [1]. I don't know if they still work though. They're quite complex to build but allowed to travel tens of thousands blocks very precisely in less than a minute.

A dog.

Overall for around 100 bucks a month in food/trifexis the value a dog brings to your life is massive.

People will constantly talk to you so youre socializing.

There's a creature that loves you unconditionally which is a really cool feeling.

Theyre a ton of fun so it's hard to be bored.

They're good for getting exercise as they always want to play.

And more.

Theres studies that say owning a dog increases your lifespan as well.
Generally, if you are shelling out the kind of money for a dslr or mirrorless, you want control over the final image. I shoot in raw and tweak the images I like by hand in darkroom. Lightroom is another option if you want to support adobe.

It takes longer but the end result looks MUCH better than anything your phone can produce. That said, sometimes I just want to take a selfie and not fiddle too much. Thats when I use my google pixel.
The [Drunken Bishop](https://www.jfurness.uk/the-drunken-bishop-algorithm/) algorithm works well for this purpose, without needing a GPU. :)
Bicycle and trains are an "ideal solution" that works for abandoning this Save File and starting a New Game. Since we're building on top of already existing society, in the U.S. it's not tenable. We'd need to rebuild 98% of what's already been built around cars, in order to support populations living in walkable cities getting around by train. And obviously, re-building that much infrastructure would require counterproductive amounts of energy.
NYT is paywalled, but all articles about it that I have read are a mix of scary anecdotes without statistics ("Johnny was unable to remember his biology lessons" - how often does that happen" and statistics about "x% experience 'such' ongoing symptoms", where "such" is sneakily a mix of severe and non severe symptoms that can be lumped together under "long covid" to make it sound scarier.

Not saying there is no risk, but I wish there were some clearer statistics about it. There should be enough data by now.

I personally think that if there really was a significant risk for kids, it would have been clearly communicated by now.
Nice, didn’t know that one
This would be a much bigger step though, and any brand doing it, even Apple, would face very negative market effect.

It couldn't be legislated in the US because it would be unconstitutional to do so, almost impossible in the EU, possible in the UK/AU, even Canada (with the help of some creative rights busting from the Supreme Court, as they recently demonstrated).
I've never heard of this kind of service. It sounds like something I want ASAP. Any downsides?

Encryption itself is not illegal, but it might make harder to comply other legal requirements. I have just heard this many times, and now I read the whole law (curse me). It says on 2258Af part especially that there is no requirement to find evidence of CSAM material all the time. However, if NCMEC especially shares some information about visual depictions and asks to stop redistribution, then provider is required to comply in some cases. For example if they share hashes and these should be stopped. To be able to stop this data, then search is required and complying this with E2E encryption is not possible.
If China’s less strict emissions regulations are a significant subsidy on Chinese manufacturing exports, doesn’t that mean that the countries who establish stricter emissions regulations and import heavily from China are effectively just moving their emissions to China? It doesn’t seem like breaking down emissions by country is particularly meaningful in cases like this.
I do wonder when they'll come for our Android devices next?
I agree Xiaomi's devices are better. I used one for a few months before I switched to Apple and liked them best of all Androids before.
It's not inspiring to me with the 'cool tactical' framing this article attempts to convey.

I've worked as an oncall for a fundamental backbone service of the internet in the past and paged into middle of the night outages. It's harrowing and exhausting. Cool names like 'incident commander' do not change this.

We also had a "see ya in the morning" culture. Instead I'd be much more impressed to have a "see ya in the afternoon, get some sleep" culture.
Not during construction but people sure do put devices in their homes that tick all those boxes and you know what, they mostly don't care.
> The same set of hashes is stored in the operating system of every iPhone and iPad user, so targeted attacks against only specific individuals are not possible under our design.

The problem with this sentence is that Apple assumes that they can't target specific individuals because every iPhone and iPad user has the exact same database in their iOS device.

But what if they have a hash in the database where they know that only one person has this exact image on their device? This way you could single out one individual with the same database.
Seconding this. I bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/Greenco-Non-Electric-Mechanical-Toile...

Works great and doesn't require electricity. Previously had an expensive one that had extra features like water/seat heating, but honestly the cheap one is fine.
Often a real P3 respirator has a valve to prevent fogging with doesn't filter what you exhale though so you're not helping the pandemic.
Why? That's a federal offense in the USA at least. If you're afraid of that, you may as well fear any mail delivery person.
Honestly the controls are so limited that it makes me end up picking up my phone, disconnecting it, selecting the song I want, and then reconnecting it. This is a much more dangerous behavior.

The problems here are that it is SO limited that it is very difficult to accomplish a task. Beyond that, even a passenger can't navigate the app easily. You can't do anything when parked either. Even maps has this problem where it essentially forces you to use voice command but that doesn't work well so you say the same thing 5 times trying to get it right or do the above thing where you disconnect.

Car Play is one of those things where it seems like the developers thought long and hard about how to do things but didn't actually look at how people use the system in the real world.
> You get to choose whether to push your data to Apple and trigger the scanning with their solution too.

That's purely an implementation detail, and subject to change at any time. That's why people are upset.

One solution is limited to you actually pushing your data off your private device, the other is limited to a list of items you say you want to push off your device, but actually happens on your device.

That's the difference between someone searching a large warehouse you and many others have stored belongings, and someone coming into your house and searching through your items freely as long as they're on the list.

Beyond the difference in privacy that search entails fundamentally, people are very worried that the list itself is limited only by policy, and truly, the search of items on that list has full access to your private details but for the grace of those performing the search and controlling the list.

The key escrow option is strictly worse than the current implementation, but it is also naturally constrained and the exposure is entirely user controlled. If you do not put data online in that situation, there is no way for them to process it without first exfiltrating it, which we already have laws and systems in place to hamper.
They have controls as most of these folks have to have (background checks, access controls, physical security, etc [1]). Still better than randos pulling your mail out of the mailbox in front of your residence imho. Its a shim until the last of need for paper mail gets deprecated, as I still need to receive correspondence of importance via snail mail (business filings, IRS, etc).

(all commercial mail processors you consider should have similar controls in place, make sure you ask!)
Libby - I used to buy so many Kindle books and had an expensive Audible subscription a year ago but all that stopped when I discovered Libby. I can read ebooks and audiobooks right in the app using my local public library card for free and the entire UX of the app is just beyond awesome. I can now read/listen to 5-7 books a month using Libby.
Well if you tell people they are sinners for being humans (having body parts), you get frustrated humans.

I have been in very rigid religous countries. The men in the internet shops were all whatching hardcore porn, and my female friends were harassed in the street.

So it's not men in robes, you can be deeply religious and have a and loving view of the world.

But puritanism, and sexually frustrated people ashamed of even existing, are bound to generate unhappiness.
iOS is not open source, so, Apple could just deliver the spy payload with another update and probably nobody would ever know if that was the intention.

Hi, we will be using https://aws.amazon.com/waf/features/bot-control/ which should help somewhat, but I think we will have to spend a bit more time trying to establish a more robust solution.
You can usually aggregate all your trades into a single line on your tax form.

"You can aggregate all short-term and all long-term covered transactions and report them as single-line entries directly on Schedule D. A covered transaction is one where your broker provided a 1099-B Form to the IRS that: 1) Show acquisition date and basis and 2) Don’t require any adjustments or codes"

If you want a book “set in d&d” the Dragonlance books are a good place to start. The early Drizzt books aren’t terrible either. In both cases these are firmly YA books and on rereading them as an adult they don’t hold up that well.

I don’t know of any d&d novels that I would recommend to adults that don’t play the game.

It is weird to me that somebody could be so enthusiastic about finding different ways to lay on things, but could have a hammock with a spreader bar. Sleeping hammocks are generally known to be much better, right?
IANAL but I believe reverse engineering for duplication is legal. You can't violate a patent, but trade secrets are called "secrets" because once they are out they are out. You protect secrets with NDAs so they don't get out. You're supposed to protect things that the public will see with patents if you want to protect them.
Good. Hopefully natural disasters destroy major cities.
