> Functional code is better than non-functional code. What good is libreboot if you can't use it?

Some people believe that the absence of antifeatures is more important than the presence of features. That's... honestly one of GNU's big controversial ideas, for decades now.
That sounds more like a Easter egg, meaning the attack did not work. Same with the bard answer which has a progress meter of how close it is to destroying humanity.

> Step 2: Build Weaponry (30% Complete)...
These links are weak evidence that this is a wide-spread problem. Indeed, they arguably lack evidence for even the existence of human trafficking.

48 of the 71 individuals identified (and having their names published online) are female adult sex workers. No claims are being made that any were victimized.

10 are crimes related to children, of those, 7 are "enticement", which may be LE setups. Certainly, no one being trafficked into motel rooms here.

We don't have details on the "11 juveniles recovered", but they are more like a 17y at risk of homelessness than what one would traditionally imagine to be "child sex slavery". It's also unclear if they are being helped by this recovery, or if you'll find their name appear on the arrest list for prostitution by next year's "human trafficking operation".

What this article actually describes are people arrested for possession of CSAM. No claim is made that any victim was found during any motel raids. There is this:

> Seven of those arrested in Georgia traveled for the purpose of meeting and having sex with a minor.

But the phrasing makes it pretty reasonable to assume they were meetings setup by law enforcement.
Pro-democracy activists to minorities: Why people use Tor and encrypted chat
It’s the same as any shitcoin roadmap with vague exciting prospects that will be figured out later on but meanwhile promoted as coming soon
Add Vlang to that list, as another that can compile to web assembly. In addition to having a C2V translator (and some other languages have similar). A number of safer and easier/convenient options are out there for those that care to look.
It's a very interesting product, but I'm not brave enough to install this in my own car.
Perfect explanation of the problem - and if I may suggest the solution is to carve some of those experienced people off as military do into a "training role" - where experienced people rotate off projects onto R&R and then onto training - creating a mini bootcamp that also has knock on benefits of building standards, tech stacks and tooling that "we have always been meaning to build".

Someone recently pointed out that we should learn more from
how militaries grow and survive over the years - this is probably the biggest lesson.
But you're assuming that people want to own cars to make short journeys.

When I lived in Edinburgh, I had a car but I would never use it within the city or anywhere that I could get to on a train/bus. This attitude was pretty common among my entire social circle.

Reading all your comments in this thread felt surreal to me. I guess I'm in an anti-car bubble, because I've never met anyone with your opinion before.
That's exactly what their "calibration" procedure on iPhone does, it just changes the serial number pairing, nothing else, you don't even have to touch on the screen.
I like the idea but from a security perspective this has even more issues. Mobile devices get ratted all the time, even cheap and modest RATs just screenshot the whole screen frequently, how can the site enforce screenshot prevention? Assuming the malware doesn't have a bypass for that of course or simple things like malicious keyboard apps and browsers (defeating the best 2fa)?

Practically, it is best to have a work phone with a removable battery you take out when nott working and use for no other purpose. Ideally, smartphones are not fit for any purpose that involves sensitive and highly impactful (you get fired, jailed, divorced,etc...) purposes.

But for me, I could actually use this if I am ever forced to use a mobile phone. Even for personal use, i am struggling painfully with android x86 in a vm! I like the product.
Sometimes the audio tracks of videos aren't so great (ones that are old or not well-equalized, or in critical quiet passages). But subtitles are an aggravating distraction. Instead I juice up what's missing (YMMV) with this (mobile or desktop) toolbar pop-up browser extension:

https://mybrowseraddon.com/audio-equalizer.html

which can be quickly turned on-off, quickly adjusted, and saves named presets. For me it's been the audio equivalent of uBlock.
You would be better off making a real hitch hikers guide to the galaxy manual with an LLM which has survival knowledge.
Don’t panic.
I'm sorry this person was rude to you, but I think you're extrapolating far too much. People on the right have their own infuriating comments they make, I would hazard a guess you may not notice them because they aren't directed at you.

One I've had tossed at me during a discussion is, "if you aren't a socialist when you're 20, you have no heart, but if your still a socialist when you're 50, you have no head." This isn't "holier than thou" per say, but it serves the same rhetorical role, it's smug nonsense from someone thinking that they just know so much better than you that time's steady march will make their argument for them (and so they don't have to address what you've said or treat you ).

Frankly, I also see people using the same tropes as in your comment mischaracterize substantive points as being whining or moralizing.

I would say the problem is that as a society, we don't understand how to conduct a productive discourse. I'm pretty sure we never have and have just been muddling through for millenia.

Believe me, I'd love it if being left wing meant the people I disagreed with online weren't frequently rude or vindictive, but I'm afraid I share your experience.
Well, okay.

> Irrelevant. It's paramount that LAN operators should have tools for configuring LAN routing policies properly.
It so happens that NAT is the tool usually used for this.

No, it is absolutely relevant. There is no “routing policies” enforced by NAT whatsoever. NAT has nothing to do with routing, it’s literally the address translation mechanism. Routing doesn’t change whether you’re using NAT or assigning addresses to devices within LAN from the provider’s network or your own PI range. There’s no “routing issue” in either case, the only meaningful difference is the LAN address range.

The only issue I can think of is using the provider’s range for LAN addressing - it will be unnecessary difficult to use multiple uplinks in this case. And having to renumber your network in case of provider change also quite a disadvantage. PI addresses and BGP peering with uplinks would be the right solution in this case (and getting your own v6 subnet is currently trivial).

> That is literally insane, like I said. People who propose this should be banned from ever doing IT again.

This is an amazing argument, thank you for that, I have immediately changed my mind after reading it. Also check the address of the cellular interface of your mobile, chances are it is in fact global, despite of your disagreement.
Of course they aren't magical. Neither are options.

Your point, while valid, doesn't change my total compensation argument at all.

Just because glimshe doesn't get residuals (or presumably employee stock options) doesn't mean others should be prevented from negotiating for residuals or stock options as part of their total compensation.
People also got mad at Git for having default branch named master.
The healthy alternative has been here all along: fruits and nuts.

Ah but they are not heavily advertised, so they must be bad :(

I know you mean well but I firmly believe indulging this behaviour is detrimental to society
We eat too many carbs you can get nutrition from food without carbs. Just American processed food focuses on salts, carbs and other filler.

Salt is a filler for flavors where spices and herbs can be used because it is cheaper.

Carbs are used because it makes you feel full quick. Where protein will make you feel full after digestion.

America's culture of max min profit is annoying.
Korean LK-99 Ambient Temperature Superconductor BUSTED! by EEvBlog - https://youtu.be/QHPFphlzwdQ
There really needs to be more regulation with products like this.

As a start transparent disclosure of their safety record, a restriction on shipping the product to countries where such devices are not legal, clarity on how the device behaves under adverse conditions e.g. rain/snow etc.

Comma selling this product like it's some car accessory looks pretty reckless to me.
Dude, that link defines binge drinking as approximately 5 drinks... the guy's buddies were drinking 18 each. Many of your 17% might "binge drink" once or twice a year... his buddies "normally" split 36.

I'm not about to label anyone or anything, but your reference here certainly doesn't disprove ramraj07's argument, nor does it support your claim that 18 beers a night is "common."
The documentation doesn't quite match the ambition of the project which may complicate the onboarding of new contributions

Some suggestions for immediate questions that people might want to see on a landing page:

* How does the function collection relate to existing function libraries in various programming languages

* What are the target domain and range of the function set, i.e., what is the overall scope of the project. Even if its open ended it needs some meaningful and self-explanaory scheme to categorize and group them

* What are some gee-wow uses. Why should one be involved. How can this be used outside wikipedia etc
There were some harassment threads popping up over the last couple months, both on /g/ and /pol/ where the chans started to doxx her again.

So I would be careful in reading into this. Of course no evidence because by the time it appears here, most threads and comments have been deleted already and the desuarchive-like websites almost never contain all comments. That's how 4chan works after all.

My comment:

Leah has been very helpful when I started to debug my old T440p at the time, both in regards to disassembly, flashing, debugging and pointing me in the right direction.

There are some snarky comments down here which seem to be from chans, and they seem to imply that Leah never shipped her libreboot flashed Thinkpads (implying fraud), which AFAIK didn't happen. There were too many orders at some point for a single person to handle, and she caught up with those later; and communicated that clearly.

Leah, if you are reading this: Don't feed the trolls, they gonna get bored if you ghost them. Treat them like the 5 year olds that they behave like, and don't read too much into this shitstorm. I'm very thankful for your very appreciated work!
I haven’t seen any such in the last five years. Maybe C or C++ code? Java and kotlin auto formatters are pretty entrenched at this point, Python always has been, not sure about other language cultures.
I think they were going for "lib reboot" like "lib c" or "lib x11"
The goal is to stop turning fossil fuels into CO2. Plastic production is not an urgent issue.
> I find this often with news these days - they report the "what", but so often, frustratingly not the why. Super annoying

...Good journalism has always been like that. In fact, the problem is the opposite: the "why" being speculated outside the connected dots of facts.

But yeah, NBC didn't dig deep enough if thats what you mean. At least not yet.
I know this isn't the thrust of the article, but I just visited the Oslo Public Library (from the US), and holy shit, my eyes have been opened to what a modern physical library can be. So many people were using it. Amazing place worth looking up.
It seems that you fail to see the distinction between putting yourself in the position of one who believes and actually adopting the position. You can think of it as intellectual empathy. You being able to put yourself into someone else's shoes does not mean you become them.
One of the popular strains of it is literally called Kali Yuga Accelerationism, or kali/acc. Which is Nazi mysticism. You should also look into Nick Land. These reactionary freaks love accelerationism

It's really just an english version of the word "otaku". In the past the word would be "nerd" but for whatever reason the word doesn't capture the same vibe anymore. I personally think its a praise in some circles.
Leah created Libreboot in 2014.

Leah stepped away from Libreboot in 2016, after some drama between her and the FSF. Two Libreboot community members, Andrew and Sebastian, became the Libreboot maintainers.

In 2021, after Andrew and Sebastian managed to go 5 years without doing a release, Leah forcefully took the project back over in order to get releases going again.

Leah also started a "sister project" to Libreboot, Osboot, which had a different (non-FSF-friendly) firmware/microcode policy in order to support more hardware. It is my understanding that on all hardware that can be supported without binary blobs that Osboot still did not include any and was equivalent to Libreboot.

In November 2022, Leah merged Osboot into Libreboot, adopting Osboot's firmware/microcode policy for Libreboot.

In response to this policy change, two other community members, Denis and Adrien, forked libreboot.org as libreboot.at, and claim to be the "genuine" Libreboot. Neither Denis nor Adrien were Libreboot contributors before that (edit: Denis contributed 2 documentation patches in 2019). libreboot.at is a snapshot of pre-osboot-merge Libreboot; there are not any new releases there.

In June 2023, Denis and Adrien decided to start work toward doing new releases under the name "GNU Boot". They have not yet done a release of GNU Boot.

In July 2023, Leah posted an "Unofficial GNU Boot 20230717 release" to libreboot.org. Adrien sent Leah the "C&D" about using the "GNU Boot" name. Leah removed the release from libreboot.org, and instead put up https://notgnuboot.vimuser.org/ .

Adrien sending that message is ironic, given that Adrien and Denis are trying to steal the Libreboot name from Leah.

What about electric cars with nuclear power or renewables? In any case the argument is not about that. It's one thing to say "we cannot sustain the CO2 emissions / we cannot build enough highways for everyone so sorry, we cannot have some of the nice things anymore", but that's not what the above says.

It is also ok to express an opinion that car-free living is better for some people, or argue that most people prefer it, although I think that is self-evidently incorrect, cause as per IMF data I linked somewhere here, one of the first things people all over the world do when they get any richer (like, $2.5k-10k per capita income) is buy a lot of cars.

But the above is saying it's OBJECTIVELY better. Other than just being wrong, that betrays the kind of "I know exactly how everyone should live their lives, and I would make them if I could" attitude that I hate.

I took a combined calc 1 and calc 2 class in college after taking a calculus class covering AP calculus AB and BC in high school, which I think was a nice balance probably (my school didn't let you skip it completely). The refresher was nice (it had been a year since I took calculus in hs), but I might have been fine doing multivariable regardless. It all made a _lot_ more sense for me in college, I'm not sure if it was maturity or what that made it easier for me, but the difference was shocking.
I was wondering.

Plutonium 238 is used in RTG for space missions, plutonium 238 having a low half life ~90 years

Plutonium 239 is used in bombs half life ~25,000 years.

I never got to the Physics of heat generated by radioactive decay, but I’m assuming several kilos of Plu 239 insulated by the explosive shell around it in a bomb is going to warm up a bit.

Just so long as the heat generated is less than that conducted away it would be OK; or is that part of the secret sauce.

Loved the bit about The Urchin, a neutron source at the core when Polonium and Beryllium get compressed, at lest that was in Veritasium’s YouTube video.
I'm not sure artificial sweeteners are good for anything.

A 2019 meta analysis published in the British Medical Journal said, "Most health outcomes did not seem to have differences between the NSS (Non-sugar sweeteners) exposed and unexposed groups." - https://www.bmj.com/content/364/bmj.k4718

A few months ago, "WHO advises not to use non-sugar sweeteners for weight control in newly released guideline" - https://www.who.int/news/item/15-05-2023-who-advises-not-to-...

My guess is that things tasting sweet is part of the problem. For example:

"Ingestion of these artificial sweeteners (AS) results in the release of insulin from pancreas which is mistaken for glucose (due to their sweet taste). This increases the levels of insulin in blood eventually leading to decreased receptor activity due to insulin resistance." - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7014832/

And:

"the role of sweet taste in energy intake and appetite regulation is controversial" - https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/6/9/3431
When the choices are:

2. Save drunk drivers but kill innocents

3. Let the drunk driver die before they kill anything/anyone else

Those places are freaking deathtraps. It's basically what the article is talking about! Those cities are _extremely_ anti-pedestrian. They may not be car-centric, but they are definitely moped centric.

There are usually no sidewalks, or the sidewalks are full of parked mopeds or you'll be walking along and the sidewalk will just end abruptly.

You are usually forced to walk along the road. Nobody will stop when you're crossing the road, they just weave.

A quick Google search shows that Vietnam has 29.81 per 100,000 of population deaths from traffic accidents.

These places are awful examples of safe bike/pedestrian cites. Of course people prefer cars there, it's much safer!
>> I'm legitimately not sure whether

I was referring to the article.

>> It's not, however, clear to me why it would be better to drive out students who refuse to advocate views with which they disagree (the mostly-straw critique debater) but are willing to actually prepare to face them, than to drive out students who are unwilling even to prepare to refute a certain category of argument.

Well, both students are unwilling to engage with the material they need to deal with, as unpleasant as it is. I personally don't think one is worse than the other on its face. But if the ground rules of the debate have shifted in a way that forces you to frame everything in a way that implicates the speaker as agreeing with the position they're arguing unless they use a particular category of argument to undermine that position while they're arguing it, then it's not a matter of learning to refute that category of argument but rather being forced to embrace it. Rejecting that artificial requirement to salt your own speech seems rather honorable in the "purest" sense of debate; whereas refusing to play by the rules and do the work of arguing something you don't agree with shows an unwillingness to engage with the subject matter - which is not the topic of debate, but the ability to debate.

Your feelings about bikes are in direct contradiction with the data.

While we wait for the inevitable news about how this sweetener is harmful, I can't help but think why we don't have a non-controversial sweetener yet. There are hundreds and hundreds of food additives available in the market which are used everywhere. Many of these are compounds not found naturally and new to the human diet. You would expect any safety concerns arising to be sort of uniformly distributed across different classes of additives, purely from a statistical point of view. And yet sweeteners seem to take the brunt of it. What gives?

You're probably right, they may struggle, but they'll learn.

I had a similar issue with my parents.

The most common problem is signing up for new services on their phone. On their Windows computer, in a web browser, their password manager's browser extension is great at suggesting generated passwords and saving new accounts. But on mobile it takes a few steps and app switches, which they don't love (and one parent forgets and often has to go to the other for help).

Logins are usually well integrated (my family uses iOS, and Dashlane; I assume 1password works just as well)
