It also works really well for routing on water. One feature I really like is being able to specify the dimensions of your boat and then having it take that into account when calculating a route.

Did you read the directive? https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2014/53/oj/eng

Has anyone verified what this article says?

Here's the directive in question: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2014/53/oj/eng It doesn't seem to imply what the article implies.

Also, here are some things from the discussion on HN

As is usual, there seems to be a massive misunderstanding what the directive is and means. The TLDR is that the directive contains no clauses that compels phone makers to keep the Android bootloader locked or that forbids EU users from unlocking it.

Samsung's public reasoning might be that disabling unlocking the bootloader because of the directive, but there is nothing in the directive that forces them to lock the bootloader. It does sound like a convenient scapegoat if they don't want to talk about the real reasons though.

The phone makes who end up disabling the unlocking of bootloaders are all doing so on their own accord, not because some regulation is forcing them to.

Finally, the EU’s broader right-to-repair policies makes it kind of impossible that an outright prohibition of unlocking the bootloader could happen. But of course, nuance doesn't make people click article titles on the web...

Yes I can

I’m going to take a risk and say you write faster than you type and reaching for a pencil is quicker than launching a program.

Maybe for you, but opening KWrite takes only 5-6 key presses and I type much faster than I write

We don't need to go back to handwritten mail, FOSS is the way to go.

Yes. Vibe coding tools and AI companies

Thanks, might have to try that sometime.

Could you link the privacy extension in question I haven't heard of it

I do like how I can easily remember IPv4 addresses while I struggle to remember a single IPv6 address

I'm pretty sure the emotional support clown would have been a better fit for his position

I'm wondering how long it's going to take to revert this policy

I recognized the channel and read the DeArrow title, but still checked if he actually launched it myself 😅

I don't think that's a valid comparison. The behavior does differ when it comes to cleanly releasing resources. Rust's panic performs the drop actions for the current values on the stack, a SIGILL or SIGSEGV crash doesn't.

 rs

    
#[derive(Debug)]
struct MyStruct {}

impl Drop for MyStruct {
    fn drop(&mut self) {
        println!("{:?}", "imagine cleanup here"); // this is called
    }
}

fn main() {
    let a = MyStruct {};
    panic!("panic!");
        println!("{a:?}");
}


  

Try it yourself

A good example would be regex. After validating it when writing the program it should always compile, although this could also be solved with a proc macro that validates the regex at compile time.

This reminds me of an old family story. My grandpa used to have an uncle who had flamingo's. Imagine walking through a Dutch village somewhere in the 60's and seeing a bunch of flamingo's standing in some muddy ditch. I have have no clue how he they ended up there, but it apparently wasn't the first time he ended up with some tropical animal. My grandpa had to take care of them for a while, but didn't really know what to feed them. He also had some parrots and would buy food for them from the miller. Considering these were also birds, just larger, he went to the miller and asked for food for flamingo's. The miller did not know what flamingo's were. He therefore explained that they were large pink birds. The miller was not convinced, thinking he was pulling his leg and sent him away with a few bags of chicken feed.

It might be because of child abuse themes and the portrayal of robot sex workers. It has been criticized before.

We knew right from the start that Detroit: Become Human was going to be heavy going. The 2016 and 2017 trailers both featured children in peril: first a child dangled from a rooftop, then a young girl being beaten by her father, but David Cage defended the dark subject matter with the promise that “there’s a context in the story, there’s a reason for that”, and we gave the game the benefit of the doubt. The problem is that having now seen the game in full it is clear that Cage’s child abuse narrative isn’t content with just one scene, and definitely isn’t used with care, context, and solid reasoning.

‘Detroit: Become Human’: Exploitative and Tasteless

I'm not sure if I agree with this sentiment. I feel like it was mostly focused on the way Kara goes out of her way to protect Alice, but I can kind of understand how someone else could see this differently.

I've never bought a porn game nor ever played one, but I just think it's stupid that such large companies fold to a lobby organization and start moderating the sale of products. Christian fundamentalist activists are persistent and organized, and it's effective. I think it's bad how a small minority is able to dictate the lives of other people and I like how people get riled up because I hope it will remind the people in charge of those large corporations that catering to extremists is a bad decision.

TLDR: Idgaf about the games, I just hate it when religious zealots dictate the lives of others.

EDIT: I might have been wrong about "Collective Shout" and didn't look into it enough before forming an opinion.

EDIT 2: Yeah, I don't think "Incest Daughters BDSM" deserves saving. They seem to be primarily targeting rape and incest games, and I can definitely understand that you want to see rape games gone from if you're an organisation like this. Article However, I still don't know how accurate their own article is, I might check out more sources/perspectives when I have time.

EDIT 3: My initial assessment seems to be correct, a large amount of games are affected and the “policies” seem to be enforced with a disregard for accuracy. The organization also seems to be more extreme.

I think the limiting factor would be getting your number blocked. Maybe someone could get a bunch of VoIP numbers?
