I recommend using a separate profile for apps you may want that require Google Services. GrapheneOS is perfect for this.
My separate profile is called "Burner" which serves as a handy reminder to me that I may, at some point, wipe out the whole profile and every app therein.
I understand and somewhat share that sentiment. But I think you're wrong in a few ways.

Firstly, I think it's only some segments of the population that are turning away from being nation states, and I think that idea is far less common than us liberals think. Many countries are facing "crises" because of immigration. I mean, the UK itself did Brexit partially because of fears of being too beholden to other countries, which isn't exactly the same thing as going back to a nation state, but I think comes from a similar place.

Secondly, as a Jew, I am extremely aware of the history of my people. While I really wish that I didn't live in a world which might one day decide to kill me just for being Jewish, I unfortunately don't live in that world now. I unfortunately have to want there to be at least one country in the whole world which will for sure always take in and defend Jews, because the world has proved the need for that many times throughout history, obviously with the Holocaust being the worst example.

How do I square my progressive sensibilities with my thinking that there needs to be a Jewish country? I don't know. Most people don't have that problem - not many Swedes have to contend with the idea that the country will no longer be Swedish, and that no other country will want to take them in. That's just not a relevant concern for Swedish people.

It is an acutely relevant concern for me.
Big Tech crackdown will kill London startups
We use a similar system at work and yes, it is a problem.

For example we have categories like "customer input", "contractual", "work documents" and "delivery". Some technical specifications could go in every place at once. It is an input from the customer, and it has contractual elements, but sometime, we have to update it, and make it part of the final delivery. These often end up all over the place.
I believe you would apply the correction for every comparison you make regardless of the conditions. It's a conservative default to avoid accidentally p-hacking.

There might be other more specific corrections that give you power in a specific case. I don't know about that, I went Bayesian somewhere around this point myself.
the fact that in the U.S you can sue larger and more powerful organizations for their having harmed you is a clear benefit in comparison to some European systems (the way this works can vary between land).

In Denmark and I assume in Norway if you have been harmed by a governmental organization you have to complain and spend lots of time to deal with the problem and in the end get nothing for the time, you get a worthless apology and change of policy for what harmed you in the first place, and then wasted years, and nothing is done to right the hurt or damage you suffered.

Better the American way as an opportunity, however limited, to make the powerful suffer in kind.
A large reason why virtually all modern web stores suck as much as they do is the insane amount of bot bullshit they need to deal with.

Most storefronts are designed more or less as an obstacle course to make any sort of scraping or automated retrieval more obvious, this includes having beyond useless filters, having no working search function, having nebulous item names, paginating with 4 items at a time, etc.
Yeah, I was thinking more terms of pico8 where you have the the editor which basically has everything included to make the game.
What's the problem? Libfuse stopped maintaining it officially, and this new maintainer stepped up and continues. That's enough qualification.
As long as the animations are done right (subtle and short) they make the experience feel smoother without slowing you down or annoying you. At least that’s my experience, it’s probably not the same for everyone
There is sufficient contextual padding that I feel this is not a problem.

DuckDuckGo App Tracking Protection is an app which can raise your awareness of what tracking the apps on your smartphone are doing, and probably give you a fright in the process!

Last week it blocked 31000 attempts to track me by apps on my smartphone.

> GrapheneOS allows disabling network for a particular app, alongside the other permission settings.

This feature is also useful in LineageOS, as a kind of native firewall. Thankfully most open source apps on my device don't use network connectivity so the permission is greyed out to begin with.
They’re more like frameworks or libraries. CC isn’t open source and the editor doesn’t work on Linux.

By far the best thing with XFCE is that it does not change, it merely improves. Other DEs and applications radically change the UI between releases.

I have my XFCE desktop working as I want now and I don't want to change it or having to learn where buttons are located after an update. With Gnome and Windows I feel like a lab rat for their UI experiments.
I remember watching a student film society showing of Schindler's List, where about halfway through one of the reels came in upside down and backwards. They took a while to fix it and it was very immersion-breaking.
Depends very much on the problem domain. It's really easy to do this on macOS.

So for example I have a top level `Documents/docs` directory. In this everything is recorded in format `yyyy-mm-dd Title.ext` format. I have a saved search which says "give me everything untagged". I will select each thing that is untagged and then tag it!

> Technically, all of them are required to join once their structural problems are solved - it's not that they chose not to adopt

Denmark has a real opt-out. They chose not to adopt in a referendum.

> Most of them have a clear political will to join the eurozone.

No they absolutely don't have that. Even leaving out Sweden and Denmark - it's a toxic political issue in Czechia even though de facto euro is widely used in the business. And while Hungary has currently no chance to fulfill the technical conditions, there is also no political will to join until Orban is in power (and that will be a long time). The ruling party in Poland (PiS) is also explicitly against the euro, as is majority of the population.

> the hard core has won because the Euro is now a cornerstone of EU policies

The Euro won through merit - it just makes sense to use a common currency in the common market.
Electric Hydrogen is selling a much larger electrolyzer module than competitors, which should be more economical to operate.

Yep, due to the whole ecosystem - apps, operating systems plus other devices (iPad, iMac etc.) that are lightyears ahead of the competitors, easy to use and sync nicely across the board.

Samsung phones looks nice but Android is a pain. Also, I somehow feel more comfortable putting my data into the hands of Apple than Google - even though privacy is an illusion of course. ;)

Some Huawei products look cool too, but who wants to trust China?

Windows (and any other Microsoft product) has been a pain ever since. Unless you're into gaming, I don't see a reason to use these products.

> It’s unmatched on Android.

I have great respect for the iOS security model. Seriously a marvel and best-in-class accomplishment.

But this is flatly not true. If you really care, you have Graphene et al, and even without that stock Android has plenty of well-tested features that enable you to lock down the device further than at stock. And rooting as a pathway to undermine security is a well understood aspect of the threat model
I've used this in the past for power cycling USB-powered embedded boards in a test farm, but the dependency on specific hubs is a pain. In the end it was easier to dedicate an RPi per board. The generation of RPi I was using could switch the overall USB power and that was good enough [1].

You still need to bring it to your face and look at it, just not necessarily make eye contact :)
Thanks! Don’t hesitate to open issues if you find bugs or have feedback :)
Came here to say this too.

From the article:

> A less obvious downside is that the contract for a database can be less strict than an API. One benefit to an API layer is that you can change the underlying database structure but still massage data to look the same to clients. When you’re shipping the raw database, that becomes more difficult. Fortunately, many database changes, such as adding columns to a table, are backwards compatible so clients don’t need to change their code. Database views are also a great way to reshape data so it stays consistent—even when the underlying tables change.

Neither solution is perfect (raw read replica vs API). Pros and Cons to both. Knowing when to use which comes down to one's needs.

There will be no stage manager like some iPads have.
I can see a trade off here: effectively we're talking about different strategies for reducing the amount of noise.

With GitHub you reduce the noise because people who know how to use Google will find the relevant issue and either contribute to it or find an answer to their question. OTOH everyone else submits issues with no regard to what's already in the issues list.

With Discord you do it by putting an auth wall in the way, which reduces the overall number of people reporting issues and asking for help but, OTOH, everybody who signs up has to ask for help.

Even with that, I'd still prefer GitHub issues, but I can see why some owners would get annoyed with it.
It will retry expired auth but backing off the timeout is a good idea!

That'd almost definitely turn me off from using that project. Whenever I'm assessing if a project is good enough to use, the first thing I check is the issues to see what bugs/missing features there are and what things users commonly need help with.

If I had to waste time digging through their discord to understand that when the issues page can give a quick overview, I wouldn't bother with the project unless it was something extremely unique and important enough to me to deal with such a mess.
Yes, the initial idea[1] was proposed by SCKelemen in 2021. The current design and implementation was created by me a few days ago. Basically everything in the language is up for discussion.

Sort of. The foundational issue here is the longstanding premise "Wayland can replace X!". The problem is that Wayland can't replace X, only Wayland plus a bunch of other components - or as I like to call it, Wayland++.

So Wayland++ can provide network transparency, but whenever a W++ feature has issues and those issues are criticized, Wayland advocates will just motte-and-bailey the issue by saying "but that's not part of Wayland!", which is technically true but irrelevant. "Wayland" can mean Wayland++ or just Wayland-core, depending on what's convenient.
The most important reason: Forcing your customers to use a significantly privacy-invading service just to get support is a total dick move.
Why the formula use the size of the compressor ? Intuitively I would expect the size of the decompressor and compressed data is the only think that is really important to know how much the total information have been compressed.
I have a separate "burner" phone for extreme cases like this. It contains no personal data.

microG handles most of the routine access to Google services that I need.
The data described in that article (Eg MAC Address) has virtually zero overlap with the kind of data GP mentioned (contact list, gallery). Most people only care about the latter.

btw "The researchers discovered that the Shutterfly app was accessing the location tags of photos' EXIF metadata. All that's required is the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission" sounds ridiculous. If you grant permission to read entire files, of course the app can read metadata.
That's what I took away from reading Everything is Miscellaneous a long while back https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_Is_Miscellaneous

Definitely thinking about categorization differently (folders which are similar to this, tags, organic order by linking; bookmarks, notes, all are in the same boat as well).
Pretty sure one could even get the 3D printer firmware running on OpenBSD. A popular choice these days is Klipper (https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper) , which would most likely compile just fine.

> What can I do as a developer to offer that choice to the user, before it loads?

Don't load it until you have given the choice to the user. Dynamically load after that, or wait for the next server round-trip.

> What can I do about the transitive dependencies that my dependencies load?

This is a significant problem for which I don't have an easier solution than making a lot of effort to properly audit and monitor your supply chain.

If you aren't sure that nothing in your supply chain is doing something dodgy, how do you justify pushing it to your users (or, at least, doing so without appropriate warning)?
I thought SAAS was the future. /s
It's more external dependency. Libjansson (json serialisation) isn't default either and neither is libgccjit (native elisp comp).
That's a general limitation with tagged pointers, I belive? Have you come across demonstrations of such exploits?
I am not the one who suggested Mars, but if we interpret 1984 style as a reference to scifi movies instead of Orwell, it does fit.

Can it be easier to do RAG? Do we always need to have Vector DB? Why LLM can't do search through the context by itself?
Very interesting. And it's not even an esolang, but something actually intended for production use!

Looking closer, it's not as bad as what I had in mind. Association order only depends on type, not value (which is what I meant by data). This means you can figure it out at compile time, and actually makes some sense if you want to be able to use standard mathematical notation like they do, which has operators with different association orders.

There are a couple reasons I can only back Gnome at this point, even though I loved/miss XFCE.

Wayland multi-seat + idle-inhibition
HDR + variable refresh
Fractional scaling (I think XFCE has some/all of this?)

We're just playing catchup to MacOS for over a decade, and soon enough Linux will have to compete with 3d desktop environments (Apple Vision Pro interface). I think we're almost to the point where the DE will be just a physics simulator (game engine) to help augment your reality.

Anyway, I still use XFCE on resource-limited hardware but Gnome has been the only option for a while because progress isn't being made by other DEs on these critical things (color, refresh, alpha-composition, and some wayland protocols missing in wlroots).

I'm just glad Gnome isn't the dependency hell it used to be, and has slimmed down. I really love what they've done with GJS but I believe there's a competing KDE bindings project.

It is not the sum-total of human knowledge surely. But that it is part of that knowledge is not a controversial statement in my opinion.
If you think about the context it's a pretty apt description. The pilot knows that the UK and Russia aren't at war and that for Russia to shoot down an RAF plane would be an extraordinary escalation. To continue without very clear and unambiguous authorization in those circumstances seems like an action that ought to get you kicked very firmly out of any self-respecting military organization. Especially given that he fired a second missile despite the other pilot's protests.

In particular, Fabrice Bellard is leading with a transformer model for “enwik9” that which is 10 times larger than the one used in Hutter. It’s doing quite well with enwik8 too, but perhaps the issue is that the “economy of scale” with on the fly training hasn’t caught up in the smaller benchmark yet.

Transformers are definitely lossy, but afaict Bellard’s entry uses the probabilities generated by the model to create an encoding that used fewer bits

I assure you that if we didn't have these closed ecosystems, we would have more secure software. Data exfiltration is a security issue, perhaps even the most significant one. All the theatre we do with signing software was better implemented in your average software repository all linux distributions come with.

Failing to see the larger picture people wanted these enclaves. An no, even Apple wants to make their environment attractive and that means appeasing advertisers.

Overall the behavior of legitimate software in a PC or Mac environment is just far better, it isn't even a competition.

This is precisely the reason why smaller cross-linked notes and tags work quite well for me, and JD or almost anything else in the past hasn't.

None of this will replace reviewing/pruning your notes regularly (think: Andy Matuschak's fleeting and evergreen notes), but it minimises the friction.

I have trouble remembering the nn.mm codes, but found it useful for organising backups on a remote machine.

For some files, it's obviously difficult to choose one category but it's not that big of an issue when compared to organising, say, git repos, or folders with a lot of files. Could go higher into the hierarchy but the folder is too specific for that.

If anyone has faced or solved these issues, I'd love to hear about it
Yeah, certainly. This feels like such a weird model. Many developers will end up paying much less than 1% maybe even closer 0.1% while for others it could be much higher than 5%.

And the worst thing is that they’ll apply it retroactively so that your only choice will be take down the game or pay up whatever Unity asks..
