Pretty much that government API you mentioned, rather than the platform self regulating. Fox guarding the hen house and all…

Cybersecurity: where defenders have to win every day and attackers only have to win once.

Anything like age verification should probably be handled with absolute minimum identifiable information (i.e. you’re older than X true / false) from an authoritative source like say the people who give out IDs (because if they’re broken into everyone’s screwed anyway). Instead OzGov has dumped it in the laps of the corpos, who will hoover up pictures of IDs or faces instead. As of a couple of days beforehand there’s still no actual information on these age verification protocols to my knowledge, very untransparent, very disturbing. Corpos being required to moderate their platforms would be good, this is not that.

It’s the limit our legal liability and PR damage because we’re cheaping out on cybersecurity plan, not uncommon.

Observational bias : You remember only the bad ones, especially as they are the ones most likely to wake you, and thus cross the memory barrier to the conscious. You likely have good ones as well that you don’t remember.

If it really bothers you consider keeping a dream journal for a few months which should make you able to remember more, and more of your dreams. If it turns out you really have no good dreams, the next step is to learn lucid dreaming and fix that shit. If that’s too much work, you can try repeating “I will have good dreams” in your head as you go to sleep, you might be lucky.

For the record, if the software updates stopped where they’re at today, I’d be fine with how the car functions until the end of its life. In fact, I kinda wish they’d just leave things alone at this point because I don’t want any extra features out of the thing.

And therein lies the rub, you don’t get to choose, the corpo does and you have to trust them (you do trust them, don’t you?). Pretty much like you’re renting, not owning. As the article points out this is similar to phone ‘ownership’, hopefully in the fullness of time there will be a GrapheneOS equivalent for cars…

Dev work in the uBlue family (and yes I use bazzite for dev) leans heavily on distrobox (think development containers). Took a bit to adapt but now I think it’s the ducks nuts. Because you decouple the dev environment from the main, immutable OS you get a lot of wins, especially if you work with a lot of different projects as you can setup distroboxes specifically for each. AI code that only works with specific drivers / libraries / python with instructions only for Ubuntu or Arch, no worries, make up a distrobox, when you’re finished archive it and spin it up later if needed. If you’re only working one project on say LTS or something it’s going to be much less of a win, but for the flexible developer it’s a godsend.

As to doom emacs or whatever, I have a post install script for distroboxes that sets up my preferred environment for the big 3 (Fedora, Arch, Ubuntu), it’s not hard. Very much a kill your darlings philosophy.

ETA Because of this workflow it really doesn’t matter what the host OS is, so it may as well be something I can game on, and I’m fond of the Fedora relative stability with sharp, but not bleeding edge.

Eh, Syncthing-Fork is basically feature complete, it’s not even a significant exploit threat (on gOS and constrained to local network and storage spaces in my case, but probably in general). I just pinned it at v2.0.11.2 in F-Droid and will wait for things to shake out. If things go badly there’ll be a Syncthing-Fork-Fork, it’s too critical to too many peoples workflows.

Can’t win. (actually in your camp, last time I got the wetting agent thing…whatever Ima gonna use sky is blue. Or black, sigh. fscking internet. ;} )

In other news, water is wet. (A wetting agent for you pedants)

Yuppers, but 400K is nothing to sneeze at either.

Damn I wish there was a line between ‘hypothesis unsupported’ and publish. Negative results are results too, and now someone else will try it and fail too. So much wasted time, but publishers…

Sidepanels as per u/mirasu, but with magnets for easy access. Pretty sure those corner braces are zinc plated steel so it should be a breeze (especially if you use mesh). You could even cut it down shorter and put on a top (can always use linear joiners later if you need more in the future, love extrusion, bloody industrial meccano! ) and make it really slick.

That said, it’s great as is.

As I understand it, in a separate incident, the FBI implied that they had ‘compromised’ a signal network (99% certain they compromised an endpoint, person or phone, but wanted to FUD signal coz they hate it). gOS and signal being solid privacy respecting secure software is the connection.

Just as vulnerable to traitors as signal.

Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy !!

Thanks for the link, that’s so happening.

As in sync position wirelessly ?? that would rock.

So I’m guessing that means they’ve helped themselves to your entire email history already, and this is just going forward, and until they alter the terms again, but they wanted some legal liability protection. Not that I wasn’t expecting them to have already done it, but yuk.

Eh, selfhosting email seems to be a world of pain.

This has finally pissed me off enough to do the get myself a domain and forward from there to a paid provider thing. Keep your email address and switch out providers at will, not going to the pain of changing out all those emails only to lock myself into another provider… or even your selfhosted one.

Doesn’t seem to hard, but tips from those who have done this welcomed. Also any non slop, non partisan articles on the setup would be great.

I love the idea of being able to make email addresses on the fly and then see who’s giving my address to spammers and just turn off the tap, which I’ve heard of but I’m worried that’s just going to get me spammed randomly.
