Because fear and hypocrisy, and pretending we're somehow special as humans. It's okay for us to copy this style, and replicate this drug set, and sample these sounds. We're okay torrenting stuff because screw the big rich studios. We're okay buying knockoff stuff because it's cheaper.

We only care because it's started crushing small creators struggling to make a living, and AI can gobble up training data faster than any human reasonably can in a lifetime.

Intellectual property has always been broken, AI just exposes the problem more clearly. It's always been a double-standard.

At this point China doesn't need propaganda, they just let the chinese users look at the US user's misery by themselves and sit back.

When Rednote was first flooded by the first wave of TikTok refugees, the chinese users were baffled just how much worse it was than their propaganda said. Which is probably why they just let it go and didn't immediately shut it down.

Rednote is pretty different vibes, I'm on it but not nearly as much as TikTok. It's pretty interesting for what it is but it's not a replacement and it's not competing to be a replacement either.

I would guess they'll probably move to Bytedance's other app, Lemon8, or probably Skylight Social as Bluesky is generally pretty popular with the particular part of TikTok I'm on, so everyone already have ATproto accounts and follows.

There's still people not throwing those in the blue bin? Why?

I think the deposits are kinda dumb: it's annoying to have to pile up the cans to bring them somewhere for a few dollars when the city picks up unlimited recycling.

I think Ottawa does it right: you don't get much trash space, so you have to use the most out of the recycling bins and the compost bin. These days we average at half a trash bin (~60L) of trash every 2 weeks.

I already separate paper recycling and cans/plastics/glass, if they want cans separately they just have to introduce another separate bin for those and call it a day.

Monetary rewards only work on poorer people that could use the extra 5 bucks trip. Convenience wins the middle class, and that's in the form of a bin they collect curbside like the rest.

At least a title would have been nice, at this point that's just lazy to just paste the link of a repo and click post. Ok cool, but why are you sharing it, what's cool about it, why should I click on this and spend time reading on it.

Well that explains quite a few things, especially in Alberta.

No way. iPhones don't exactly allow bootloader unlocking to begin with, but even if you could, it would be in no better state than Asahi on the M1 Apple computers. Every driver would have to be written from scratch.

Pixels are a good platform for custom ROMs because until the recent drama, you could literally just build AOSP as-is and use it. So the GrapheneOS team only really need to focus on their changes to the OS and their apps and none of the drivers and modem interface and all that. That's also why GrapheneOS runs so well on it: Google provided everything, it just works.

iPhones would be the absolute worst phone to develop for: zero support from Apple, no drivers no documentation, no nothing. Not even a Linux kernel! At least for Android, the Linux license forces manufacturers to publish the source code, so at minimum you start with something that should boot and contain all the stuff to talk to the hardware already, just need to wire it in with userspace drivers. CPU manufacturers like Qualcomm also provide a fair chunk of the userspace drivers open-source too, so you can just pull that and have audio and video working.

Not impossible, but definitely really hard and impractical.

PieFed seems to have taken the spot as well, mostly delivering on what Sublinks wanted to be but faster and better. Python is more attractive than Java even for the Rust haters.

Comme d'habitude, on subventionne les profits, et socialise les pertes.

C'est une clause qui devrait avoir été accompagnée de conséquences criminelles de ne pas les suivre.

C'est comme les compagnies de pétrole: oui oui, on va tout boucher et nettoyer ça juré promis. Ils font une LLC, qui fait faillite juste avant que ce soit le temps de tout reboucher et nettoyer, et hop, c'est au gouvernements de se débrouiller à nettoyer tout ça, tu peux pas poursuivre une compagnie qui n'existe plus.

Et on continue d'approuver ces projets quand-même. Mais qui aurait pu prévoir que ça allait arriver???

Wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't check the UTF-8 validity at all and just lets the apps get broken UTF-8 where most of the time nothing horrible happens. That or they just strip invalid characters.

It's not the size, it's a size to content/quality ratio. I'll happily download a 500GB game if it's got the content to match.

Uncompressed assets doesn't bring higher quality visuals or content, it's merely pure laziness or a scam to make people feel like they're getting more for the outrageous price games have gotten.

You can mostly backup everything but it's impossible to make a perfect backup like the old days anymore because of the TEE. Flashing a new ROM will change the keys and permanently make the old data worthless. Stuff like Google Authenticator for example simply won't backup even with a perfect bit copy.

Apps will restore okay but many will be logged out and have lost their permissions and push notification registration with Google.

It'll tolerate a few hours no problem, mine's been down for a bit over 24h and caught up fine.

I think it marks instances as down after 2-3 days, but I'm not sure if it'll resume once it comes back up at this point. I think if your instance reaches out it might start pushing events again but it could also result in dropping the previous days.

Maybe Torvalds will make Sebastian understand that Linux is not a product, it's an ecosystem, and maybe finally make him review Linux properly without the "as an average tech consumer" approach he's been doing. It'll never be "ready" through that lens if always approached with a FOMO attitude.

One can't be free when sucking it up to big tech all the time because "you need the latest fancy half baked proprietary features".

No, I would simply give them a box of condoms or whatever.

If they're gonna do it, they're gonna do it, and as a parent, you're way better off with your kids comfortable not hiding it because if there's complications you can intervene quickly. If the condom broke, you want the kid to come to you so you can get plan B and not have to deal with an abortion a couple weeks or even months later. It's also way better they get caught doing it at home vs in a car and now be on the sex offender registry.

What you're describing is abstinance and is common in religious families, and well know for being ineffective. Plus as you've described, it completely falls apart when bisexuality is involved, and it makes even less sense if it's physically impossible to even get pregnant.

The same extends to alcohol, drugs, porn, whatever evil vice people are worried. If your kid's gonna do drugs, you want them to feel comfortable calling you if they have a bad trip, and also feel comfortable giving you the drugs so you can get them to the hospital and they can quickly identify what you're on and give the necessary medications.

They're gonna learn about all that eventually, better they learn it from you. Punishment and "you'll understand when you're grown up" doesn't work. If they're old enough to ask, they're old enough for the answers too.

Free speech includes respecting speech you disagree with and speech that makes you uncomfortable.

If the roles were reversed and you were lined up to be banned because you're not siding with the "correct" side, you'd be crying abusive censorship.

That's what the downvote and block buttons are for.

Yes, a lot safer. Even bugs in the renderer or media player would typically be triggered by JavaScript by say, moving elements around really fast or whatever.

Without JavaScript, the browser renders that page and that's it, there's no JS to modify it or open popups, nothing to dynamically load/refresh content. The most you can do without JS is animations and responding to simple events like changing the color of a button when the mouse is over it. So your only shot to attack this is the renderer during initial page load, once.

You need to set up your PC to be on that IP address first, TFTP doesn't magically listen to a particular IP, you need to configure the PC with that IP.

    
ip link set eth0 up
ip addr add 10.10.10.3/24 dev eth0
ip addr add 10.10.10.1/24 dev eth0

  

Then you can start the TFTP server on the interface:

    
dnsmasq -d --port=0 --enable-tftp --tftp-root=/path/to/tftp/root -i eth0

  

This is why when an app pops up that permission dialog, you always say no. The number of permissions Meta apps ask immediately upon startup is a red flag on its own.

Can't collect and upload what it doesn't have.

For all its flaws and mess, NFS is still pretty good and used in production.

I still use NFS to file share to my VMs because it still significantly outperforms virtiofs, and obviously network is a local bridge so latency is non-existent.

The thing with rsync is that it's designed to quickly compute the least amount of data transfer to sync over a remote (possibly high latency) link. So when it comes to backups, it's literally designed to do that easily.

The only cool new alternative I can think of is, use btrfs or ZFS and btrfs/zfs send | ssh backup btrfs/zfs recv which is the most efficient and reliable way to backup, because the filesystem is aware of exactly what changed and can send exactly that set of changes. And obviously all special attributes are carried over, hardlinks, ACLs, SELinux contexts, etc.

The problem with backups over any kind of network share is that if you're gonna use rsync anyway, the latency will be horrible and take forever.

Of course you can also mix multiple things: rsync laptop to server periodically, then mount the server's backup directory locally so you can easily browse and access older stuff.
