No, LineageOS does not disable this.

Personal opinion but the LineageOS project seems more concerned with security than privacy. The idea of Google hijacking your privacy for profit doesn't seem to really bother them too much. Their web site and wiki repeatedly address security but rarely privacy.

As for explaining further, I will defer to the document below from the e foundation.

I agree with you.

My only, personal, issue with front-end is typescript - I don't enjoy it for some reason.

If you group anyone who takes the opposing view together then it is unfortunately easy to spoil the well with false opponents. If I make statements against the idea of a vaccine mandate should my arguments be construed to represent belief that these vaccines induce 5g tracking? No, so those in power are obliged to accept all arguments on their individual merits.
> Tether held sufficient fiat reserves in its accounts to back USDT tether tokens in circulation for only 27.6% of the days in a 26-month sample time period from 2016 through 2018

With how shady they acted I would have assumed that number was 0%. A bit shocked it wasn't a total scam to be honest, even if they did misrepresent that it was in fiat not risky investment assets.
I enjoy OpenBSD and I would use it production if it weren't so hard to build and distribute packages that target it.

On Linux, installing packages can transform a system from just the base OS into a functioning part of my infrastructure. I can pull FOSS software from the repos, but if I need more control over security patches I can easily build and package my own server, database, scripting languages, and I can sign these packages and host them in my own custom repo. I can also package things that aren't programs, such as CA public keys, artwork, even backup/restore points. I can package closed source software that isn't suitable for hosting in the public repos.

On OpenBSD, the "ports" use case appears to be only for FLOSS software that's built and publicly hosted by the ports team. If I want to package something into the equivalent of a deb/rpm without submitting it to be hosted on the ports server, or use `pkg_add' to install a package I made myself, search results make it seem like I'm about the first person to ever have tried it. Is there nobody building or hosting their own org-specific ports?
The takeaway: tether executives are explicitly engaging in dangerous and shady behavior, and you can't trust any statements made by them.
I didn't make any claims about how much they know.
Asking for clarity since I'm one month into my Linux journey:
Are you saying that most of the distros are really just more surface level changes rather than deep "divisions"? I've been struggling to understand.

The spike protein cannot self-replicate because it is not complete enough, so it can't create a runaway infection. There is only so much mRNA coding for so many copies of that protein, and that mRNA is quickly broken down. I am not a molecular biologist, but I believe the spike protein is not complete enough to actually even penetrate cells, so I don't think it can even cause any kind of cell damage.
wonder what the 'orchestration feature set' of 2 years in the future will be

speaking just for myself, feels like I want a system that runs a mix of serverless (like knative), normal containers, raw linux binaries (easy w/ fat binary systems like golang), language-specific packages like heroku does, maybe firecracker VMs.

Spreadsheet apps in the browser?
Nokia is re-releasing their 6310 phone this year and honestly I'm more tempted to go down that path at this point. Just a regular, reliable phone. The most painful thing for me at this point will probably be authenticator apps.

That said the pine phone looks really cool and I hope they succeed. Mobile Linux is going to be such a large uphill battle without huge investments. But with Google/Apple having compensation packages amounting in the 300k-500k+ per year you'd think there would be room for a competitor in there somewhere.

I think a lot discussion around consciousness focuses too much on the binary (e.g. either you have it or you don't), but I like to think of consciousness as a spectrum, with organisms falling into various points along that spectrum. Your take fits nicely into that picture I think.
I don't think you can really export a font to SVG vector graphics if you want it to look good at low resolutions. You will lose all of the hinting information. The best option is probably glyph culling which should be not much larger, it may even be smaller in many cases.

> I mean actually going into depth about things like algorithmic complexity, memory usage

OK, I agree that's definitely something the candidate should be able to do. I'm just trying to point out to anyone reading that it won't be sufficient to explain an algorithm. You have to actually write code to solve a given problem. That's not the same as regurgitating code you remember from leetcode, so please don't think that. You have to apply techniques that you've learned. It's not easy, and it's not intellectually shallow.
Maybe the good news they didn't cancel it offsets the bad news that they postponed it
It was a supremely well written article. I suggest reading it.
Perfect haha. Tether has figured out how to print money and nobody seems to care.
Excellently written. As I have said before on this site, Jira is the wet dream of mediocre middle-level managers who feel the need to micro-manage by ticket, rather than lead by example.

Jeffries makes the point that the symptom of this malaise is that the primary system of measurement is "what's in Jira" rather than what the product is becoming.
To add on to this comment, its ultimately the market that decides how much energy is spent for one bitcoin. Anything else of value will expend the same amount of capital to meet demand. Fracking in oil was a great example because even when the difficulty to acquire this asset increased the market was willing to expend more capital for it as long as it made economical sense. Which is another way of saying, bitcoin has nothing to do with pollution and that responsibility lies solely with the energy sector and how its regulated.
> But using it to treat a coronavirus is.

No.

Ivermectin was identified as a broad antiviral a long time ago.

A large number of papers started to emerge on Ivermectin's applicability to a number of viral infections appeared at least as early as 2012. I'm sure there must be more earlier, it is just that my search skills are bad.

There were also patents around some of these applications.

Please, do your research before you make incorrect blanket statements.
It's pretty rare for construction crews to be sitting around waiting for delivery trucks stuck in traffic. I mean it happens occasionally, but the traffic in most places isn't that bad. And contractors usually schedule deliveries in advance, or shift their crews to other job sites if they know a delivery will be delayed. Any contractors who couldn't manage such basic logistics have already gone out of business.

I predict that drone delivery will never be used for heavy, low value items like sheet rock. The costs of flight will remain too high even with better batteries. If delivery drones are used at all it will be for small, high value items like medical supplies, electronics, cooked food, and toiletries.

i.e., spike proteins emerging from normally smooth blood cells, protruding out into the vessels, causing clotting. This idea has apparently been vindicated by D-dimer tests.
I suspect Pine ships Manjaro ARM because that distro will apply nearly any patch to the kernel if it makes something work, no matter how hacky or unsustainable the patch is. Right now their kernel has 43 patches, and they are not even organized or annotated well.

I think it's even more wrong than that, and suffers badly from post hoc ergo propter hoc.

How could the growth of answering machines be connected to the break-up of AT&T, which was about separating local from long-distance service? According to https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nma..., there were commercial answering machines being sold in the U.S. in 1960. The increase in the use of answering machines in the 1980s likely had a lot more to do with the emergence of cheap microchips and cassette tapes, which greatly reduced their cost.

And what did the breakup of AT&T have to do with the creation of the first ISPs? Even before the breakup, anyone could create their own separate communications networks if they wanted. There were already commercial computer networks like TymNet and consumer proto-ISPs like CompuServe before the breakup and the breakup had no effect on them.
That is an assumption that is not stated or implied.

But, if you want to go down that tangent the tech industry would benefit from a set of standard minimum qualifications. Such would reduce employer liability and result in higher quality products pushed to market in shorter time at lower expense. That last sentence is technobabble really meaning employers could more easily discern candidate maturity and thus require a lower headcount for an equivalent task. The great discriminator there isn’t financial but the time and cognition required.
The Nordic countries have removed Moderna from circulation for younger people because it kills them more than COVID does. Are you going to claim all those governments are in the grip of "Q-like emotively loaded disinfo"?

Lasting side effects: of my girlfriend's friends, 4 of them still have periods that are disrupted or entirely missing months after the vaccine. As far as the establishment is concerned, that's impossible and never happens. Do Not Fear Because The Vaccine Is Perfectly Safe And Definitely Does Not Impact Fertility In Any Way, Citizen. Except it obviously does, and it must be happening at scale, because on the incredibly rare occasions a woman manages to get an article published on this in the news media they invariably seem to mention that it affected both them and many of their friends too.

Your belief that all these sorts of real events we can observe with our own eyes are "disinfo" is dystopian.
I don't have any comments on the Purism customer support because I haven't bought their phone, but as a Pinephone owner it's good to have them around. Purism has been investing a lot more in the software side of things. They work well with upstream. Their new projects are good too, phosh and libhandy came from Purism and are both extremely useful on the Pinephone.
This is just BS equipement. I mean you can't even wear ordinary glasses with a helmet without it getting in the way, bouncing around, fogging ... and they need no USB charging.
> disproportionately affect people from disadvantaged backgrounds in those fields

And, a less worse problem: it's bad for the companies too
That's a bit too reductionist IMO. Human beings didn't invent suffering, animals rended each other limb from lim for eternity before us, so does that mean the suffering from warfare cannot be attributed to human beings, or that past suffering was not attributable to the state of the world then?? Warfare for profit existed before America, so does that mean the american military industrial complex cannot be attributed to America, or that Roman conquest cannot be attributable to Rome seeing as conquest did not disappear?

You can very clearly see that the current state of affairs is propped up with blood. That doesn't mean the future state of affairs won't also be supported by suffering and death, but that doesn't absolve the current state of things.
We’ve been making pan-fried Beyond Meat burgers at home recently and they taste better than the beef burgers we used to make. They don’t work as well on a grill as they tend to stick to the grill and are easy to dry out, but pan-frying works well.
Ground rules as in “you have to compile with 100s of these google3 libraries to run a simple app”?
The question posed by the monopolies is not "are these the only options". But do these wield too much market power to be controlled by the market. That is, sure, Bing and DDG make up 5% of the global search, but is that enough. Yes, people use Twitter and TikTok, but does that replace the social graph of FB? Yes, I can buy directly online from many places, but if people are going to Amazon instead of Google to search for prices does it matter?

So, my question to you, if every non-Google search engine published their formula for rankings, and SEO for going up all their rankings was mutually exclusive with going up in Google's rankings, do you believe any site would implement them?

I doubt anyone would trade higher status on every other engine for lower status on Google. And in that case, they may as well be a monopoly.
> The statement I have an issue with is claiming that disruption was caused by apps needing to be rewritten for PulseAudio,

There's not any doubt about that. Things were broken all over the place until they were patched. It was awful.

> which was most likely not the case.

It's weird that you're writing as if this was a hypothetical period that human beings did not actually live through, such that we can only speculate about it.
> The last time the battlefield was insanely lethal people just dig trenches to even survive the day.

Trench warfare proliferated when a revolution in firepower was unmatched by similar advances in mobility.

Most likely, ongoing advances in stealth, armor, area denial, anti-drone tech, etc. will preclude its reappearance on the battlefield.
You just posted the article that this whole thread is based on. You just posted the author's post instead of the blog's rewrite of it.

I'm sorry but even taking into account the clusterf*** of government procurement this is a truly obscene price tag. Even by government standards, this is ridiculous.

It's half as much as the development of the entire flipping Space Shuttle. It's more than Apple's entire yearly R&D budget. It's more than the James Webb Space Telescope and the entire Hubble program (including operations and the repairs that were needed post-launch) combined. It's roughly the cost of 8 Mars rovers of the same type as Curiosity / Perseverance.

This is worse, even, than the Joint Strike Fighter program, which at least started out reasonably with only a pair of 1 billion dollar grants handed out to Boeing and Lockheed to develop two functional prototype fighter aircraft (never mind how the costs spiraled later).

Setting aside the question of how much it should or shouldn't cost to develop such a product, it's absolute insanity to do it with a single massive project. The DoD loves to claim in public they're trying to be more agile, and this is the exact opposite of that. This ought to have been done $100 million (or less) at a time with limited initial scope and incrementally expanding goals.

Don't make excuses for this. There is no possible justification.

I recently looked closer into my billing data for GKE (Google managed Kubernetes) and was astounded by the overhead taken up just by the Kubernetes internals. Something like 10-20%. It might be better if using bigger node types.

how does Nomad compares on this front?
I have one from a year or so ago, and it just collects dust right now. If I understood how utterly unusable it was and how unusable it would continue to be, I would have preferred to just donate to Pine's organization rather than have them send me clutter.
I can't imagine that you'd compare this idea with firefighting.

Firefighting: a public good, paid for with public tax dollars, so that you don't have to worry about paying out of pocket for fire defense. They just show up when you need them, it comes out of your taxes, done deal.

Skip the Interview: a private company which turns job openings into pay-to-play gambling and takes a cut. People with networks of friends and family that have disposable income (i.e. "rich kids") are disproportionately advantaged. People from poor backgrounds, whose friends and family can't afford to put up $50 to buy them a job, are disadvantaged. Networks of friends can easily game the system over the course of a few years and buy each other several good jobs. The existing systems of class and privilege are reinforced, and on and on.

The people who would be opposed to firefighters if they were proposed today are not the same people saying this is a stupid idea. People who would oppose firefighters now would be the financial hawk conservatives who think all public funding for anything is bad. The people saying this is a stupid idea fall into two camps; they either see how impractical, toxic, and easily gamed this system would be, or they recognize that it would entrench class and privilege even further and they don't want a new business to contribute to such a world.

Thanks partially to SPACs and direct listing we've had a boom in IPOs the past two years. (https://www.wraltechwire.com/2021/10/01/biggest-ipo-boom-in-...)

Before 2018-2019 the common wisdom was to stay private as long as possible because Softbank and other late stage firms were willing to throw a lot of money around in private rounds. Now VCs are trying to throw their companies over the fence as soon as possible.
I actually used to use Instagram quite a lot because it brought me quite a bit of happiness seeing what my friends were up to and IG had defensive measures to protect me:

- The “you’re all caught up” screen that stops me from scrolling

- The fact that stories signify whether they’re watched

- The fact that my posts feed only contained followed stuff plus ads

So there was the sense of “I’m caught up with my friends’ lives”. Anyway, they’ve changed it:

- They now place random stuff below the list of my friends’ posts

- They place people I don’t follow into the ad slots for stories

Anyway, I use it much less now and we just end up sharing photos in group chats.

Does anyone know of what a true IG replacement is? Like something for your friends and you.

Maybe the distance and the volume? I belong to some whatsapp and Telegram groups with people I know and I meet with at least every few months. We share stuff, even foodgrams. It's ok to hear from them. I can't just cope with all the stuff posted by some people I know but I didn't meet with for years. There are too many of them. I need time to live my life so I gave up Facebook, downsized my network and do things with people I meet.
I make a conscious effort to not get sucked into Facebook. One rule I have is to never browse past the first ad unless I've got the day off. That minimizes a lot of the time I spend there. Unfortunately I am involved in a few special interest groups in there, but at least the information we share serves a purpose. For everything else, I simply use the standalone Messenger app. That way I can still keep in touch with my friends, without having to scroll through mostly pointless Fb posts and ads.
I'd expect the battery performance to suffer. Android did a lot of things to optimize that vis a vis 'normal' linux.
