When Fuchsia first came out, I was interested to go deep dive into it and be an early adopter/contributor. Good that I did not put in my time investment. There is always a risk with new projects but with Google there seems to be a longer wait and watch phase before you really double down on the project.
I'll pay that, it sounds as if you're across the history and evolution of Lawfare which was a main thrust of my comment - a number of strands developed alongside colonialism and industrialisation.
I’ve actually found interesting book suggestions from the kindle ads so shrug.
That. I am thus convinced we are decades away from self driving cars capable of taking you home via a dirt road. And unfortunately, the entire value proposition of self driving cars only unfolds if you really can go anywhere, like a cab driver could.

“Sorry m’am, I can go any any further on this road, please get out and carry your luggage over the remaining mile”. And then of course it’d be raining under the scorching sun, I guarantee you that.
Microsoft ditches OpenAI board observer seat amid regulatory scrutiny
What do you mean by background in apis? You mean experience working with them?
I think that is what I did: I had it use the functions api to pass the translations, but it still wouldn't output everything in the small languages.

I was a bit lazy, so I just inform the user to re-run it manually instead of automatically handling it.

Worth caring about because they have a browser monopoly. It's not allowed for the exact same reason why in the olden days Microsoft wasn't allowed to add APIs to Windows that could only be used by IE, even if it made things better for IE users. It harmed users in the overall market by making it harder to compete.
so something for systemD then?
You have already answered your question. Unless Google and Microsoft agree to implement a common E2E encryption standard for Gmail and Outlook, there is no hope.

The other hope is if some EU law does it for us :) . I am not aware if there are any discussions going in this direction.

no you describe narcissistic personality disorder.

Homo economicus would try get as much as possible for himself, or have others bear the cost (e.g. have society pay for roads but don't want to pay taxes).

They would not lower the quality of service for someone else out of spite without any gain for themselves, let alone waste time on it. They would also understand this would rise the cost of the service they might potentially want to use in the future.

Only narcissists would feel the desire to fuck up a service out of spite and ruin it for anyone else, just because they feel bad for not agreeing to the deal of having to pay
After reading the specs, this sounds like an awful lot of complexity for something that should be simple and low cost. The spec also seems to be very loosely defined, more like a recommendation than a spec. This means you'll likely have to integrate a library and that library will be the authoritative source of truth as far as the expected behavior is concerned.
The Steam Deck is what I pull out on flights nowadays. It's quite amazing how fast it helps the time fly (pun intended).
What "high-value supply chain elements" were you thinking? Singapore as 1/12th the population of UK, it's easier for them to specialize in finance and a few high value manufacturing sectors and be wealthy per capita. An island of 67m people is going to have a hard time competing against europe with ~400m in half the size of US that can be networked together by rail/truck. I don't think EU is going to let UK challenge port of rotterdam and eat away at continental bloc logistic advantages. I also don't think US is going to throw many opportunities at UK when they need to keep east asian partners fed, after what US wants to reshore in NA for herself. IMO not much high-value scraps left.
What's missing is an e-waste recycling diversion stream that doesn't just grind everything into dust and seeks to resell and reuse what is salvageable. The industry won't do it because planned obsolescence profit motives want to grind it all up. It has to be a nonprofit or state-sponsored government entity.

The mail server has to read the body of the mail message, which throws out any E2E use. SMTP is from the 1980s. There are countless SMTP servers on the Internet. You want spam filtering? Server-side rules? Can't have E2E.

That, and more, is why E2E isn't available for SMTP-based email. Many modern SMTP servers support opportunistic-TLS, potentially securing email traffic between two SMTP servers. Or forced TLS when you know the target supports TLS connections.

This isn't some "money making" or "spyware" conspiracy. It is a product of history, decentralization, and momentum.

Comparing that to modern chat apps which can be built from the ground up and their messaging protocol doesn't rely on a 40 year old standard is disingenuous at worst, ignorant at best.

It's difficult, because no one company can do it on their own. Proton has encrypted email, but if you send an email to someone's Gmail account, or someone's email box at their personal domain, it's sitting on that server unencrypted at the end of the day.

Gmail owns a huge percentage of the market, which would go a long way, but like you alluded to, they aren't going to give up the email scanning they can do. Without that, I'm not sure Gmail is still worth it for them to run. They'd probably shut it down.
Are there any sources that the zoom desktop client is malware?
Yes, that's even better.
It's just business, no? Would you rather trade with a service that's liable for their mistakes or one that isn't?
I really believe we are not able to ship big new software projects anymore. If there isn't a pile of garbage to build up on...it's going to be vaporware. What a shame I was really excited about fuchsia in the beginning.
I used to bicycle down from the top of Bernal Rd. as it is very steep. The IBM Bernal (/Almaden?) campus is enormous, with an indoor golf cart for moving people around. I was there c. 1995 for a dark matter conference while I was still in high school (and I looked about 12).

Makes me wonder just how relatively valuable copra and cocoa bean were to the US and Europe if outside resource lust underpinned an eight year civil war way out in the Pacific.

The Germans, in particular, began to show great commercial interest in the Samoan Islands, especially on the island of Upolu, where German firms monopolised copra and cocoa bean processing.

> I believe Fuschia and usage of Dart for projects like Flutter grew out this back-and-forth legal rigamarole between Google and Oracle over Java.

I'm guessing nowadays Kotlin plays this role? Its multi-platform nature means that the Android world can eventually be detached from the JVM backend, if I understand correctly.
If you're going down that road, start gardening now, while you don't actually need it to survive.

Also, get an Arduino starter kit and learn electronics and hardware. Those skills could be handy to have.
Agreed, but regular immigrants would be a better fit I think, can you imagine the culture shock of some white collar laptop worker to live in Castelo Branco?

I'm a laptop worker and wouldn't want to live in some rural area, I left for the big city on purpose!

If the immigrant comes for a rural area, the adaptation would be simpler, I guess.
That would require supporting people with brown skin, so it won't happen.

"As of 2023, 12.7% of full-time employees work from home", this appears to be data for USA only.

Certainly that percentage can be increased, but not all jobs can be worked remotely. It will help congestion but won't eliminate it.

Also, fun fact, not all traffic during rush hour is from commuting to work.

Btw, thanks so much for your thoughtful and insightful replies on this.
One can only dream. Right now still too much competition/involution, and people need to put in face time to get ahead. Hopefully inevitable trend when demographics -> workforce decline and workers get more leverage. Maybe less people will alleviate congestion and more ppl will want to goto the office because commute more pleasant.
There isn’t a definitive list, only vague guidelines: https://consumer.gov.au/sites/consumer/files/inline-files/ac...

The price you paid relative to comparable products factors into it - more expensive goods are expected to last longer.

If you and the manufacturer disagree, you can always take it to tribunal to get a decision (and manufacturers never want it to get there so are motivated to resolve your concern before it comes to that).
Right. And Google isn't a democracy either (nor should it be). The numbers on the winning side might be small. But as you say, “it” is what it does.
Yes, once Tokyu sold Tokyu Hands the store dropped the Tokyu name. I also haven’t noticed any changes in terms of product selection or customer service, with the caveat that I’m a tourist who goes to Japan 2-3 times per year, not a resident, so there may be changes I’m unaware of.

Nobody cares anymore. We're sick of their rent seeking, of their perpetual monopolies on culture. Balance? Compromise? We don't want to hear it.

Nearly two hundred years ago one man warned everyone this would happen. Nobody listened. These are the consequences.

"At present the holder of copyright has the public feeling on his side. Those who invade copyright are regarded as knaves who take the bread out of the mouths of deserving men. Everybody is well pleased to see them restrained by the law, and compelled to refund their ill-gotten gains. No tradesman of good repute will have anything to do with such disgraceful transactions. Pass this law: and that feeling is at an end. Men very different from the present race of piratical booksellers will soon infringe this intolerable monopoly. Great masses of capital will be constantly employed in the violation of the law. Every art will be employed to evade legal pursuit; and the whole nation will be in the plot. On which side indeed should the public sympathy be when the question is whether some book as popular as “Robinson Crusoe” or the “Pilgrim’s Progress” shall be in every cottage, or whether it shall be confined to the libraries of the rich for the advantage of the great-grandson of a bookseller who, a hundred years before, drove a hard bargain for the copyright with the author when in great distress? Remember too that, when once it ceases to be considered as wrong and discreditable to invade literary property, no person can say where the invasion will stop. The public seldom makes nice distinctions. The wholesome copyright which now exists will share in the disgrace and danger of the new copyright which you are about to create. And you will find that, in attempting to impose unreasonable restraints on the reprinting of the works of the dead, you have, to a great extent, annulled those restraints which now prevent men from pillaging and defrauding the living."

One, don't attack people but arguments.

I'm not faking quotes, I want to understand your argument about slaves/other people had slaves too/we can be rich again, so I asked if you've meant that.
I asked "Or is it:" - which makes it clear this is not a quote.

Your "fake quotes" shows me we have different logic and a different understanding of rhetorical terms, and won't come to any agreement on that basis.

You can. It will cry and beg and nag every chance it gets (same as when you don’t allow notifications) but it will still function without these permissions (for now).

I feel pretty much the same, and I suspect it's not an uncommon take. When it initially became known publicly, it seemed like they might be looking to try to make a legitimate competitor to Linux in the long term, but (and potentially be the first OS to make a compelling case for both desktop and mobile, which I still feel like we haven't seen anyone do yet), but at this point, it seems like they really don't have any concrete plans for it.

In hindsight, Fuschia is a pretty good representation of my opinion of Google as a whole since it first became public in 2016; eight years ago it was a lot easier to believe that they had some sort of big-picture idea of what they wanted to do, but nowadays it feels a lot more like their major products are basically just coasting on inertia, and nothing new they try to do has any sort of coherent long-term plan.
In the mid to long term I think Kotlin and KMP are likely to be where Google puts its effort. Flutter is likely toast but it will be some time before KMP is polished enough to replace it.
Nowhere.
While I understand the challenges with SMTP-based email, dismissing privacy concerns as ignorance is unhelpful. It's not at all a technical difficulty—Modern threats demand updated solutions, and opportunistic-TLS isn't enough. Financial incentives and data monetization do play a role in the reluctance of major providers. If new protocols can secure chat apps, similar efforts should be made for email.

Users deserve better privacy protections despite historical constraints.
I think unify.ai (like openrouter) does that - it has several paramters you can choose from.

But the underlying "how to choose a model that's smart enough but not too smart" seems difficult to understand.
Most of the new gear also doesn't last nearly as long.
> It's not at all a technical difficult

Tell us how you'd implement it and be backwards compatible with existing SMTP servers.

> Financial incentives and data monetization do play a role in the reluctance of major providers.

Do you have evidence that they're preventing E2E SMTP from becoming an RFC?

I also can't help but wonder, could trees even use iron if it was plentiful in the upper crust? You need a lot of energy to separate iron oxide into elemental iron. Betting against what evolution can make is usually a bad idea, but that would be a neat trick.
AFAIK it's not enough to write it in your privacy policy. Art 21 of the GDPR makes this explicit:

> (4) At the latest at the time of the first communication with the data subject, the right referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be explicitly brought to the attention of the data subject and shall be presented clearly and separately from any other information.

I am not a lawyer, but as far as I can tell, there is no legal way to collect PII (including IP address) or place tracking identifiers on the user's device without at least informing the user explicitly under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive.

I think I spent more time on the UI than on connecting and setting up the database.

The restrictions on ADHD medicine where I live are incredible.

I have to have a special registration card, separate from any other medical insurance or ID. When I get fill the prescription I must present photo ID, can only get a very limited amount etc. If my medical details insurance change for in any (for example an address change) my ability to fill the prescription is instantly cancelled until those details are updated (even though for any other medication this is not the case. For other medication there is a simple way to handle these changes retroactively, but not for ADHD medication).

Multiple times I've been without medication because of these traps. Not only that, they are rare and unusual enough that health care professionals don't know about them and sometimes give you incorrect advice.
