Certainly not the way we lunch right now. The energy used, that focused, in that short a time, is insane.

Electric is far more efficient too, thus cheaper. Electricity you can transit over distance over wire and generate however you like. We've done it a long time, far and wide.

Turning electricity into hydrogen, distributing it, and then turning it back into electricity to move a vehicle, is so wasteful/expensive.

Just use a big battery.

So teens learn about Tor & VPNs. This stuff doesn't work. The higher you put the skills to get access, the more they will learn. Nothing motivates teens more than access to adult stuff. Maybe this is really a tech literacy policy.

Someone got to say it....

There is no Debian if everything was a pile of Snaps/Flatpack/Docker/etc. Debian is the packaging and process that packaging is put through. Plus their FOSS guidelines.

So sure, if it's something new and dev'y, it should isolate the dependencies mess. But when it's mature, sort out the dependencies and get it into Debian, and thus all downstream of it.

I don't want to go back to app-folders. They end up with a missmash of duplicate old or whacky lib. It's bloaty, insecure and messy. Gift wrapping the mess in containers and VM, mitigates some of security issues, but brings more bloat and other issues.

I love FOSS package management. All the dependencies, in a database, with source and build dependencies. All building so there is one copy of a lib. All updating together. It's like an OS ecosystem utopia. It doesn't get the appreciation it should.

Unfortunately it's not just young men. The alt right machinery recruits young women too. Just less of them as it a bit of turkeys voting for Christmas.

So the Daily Fail has completed it's transition to Nazi support then. It wasn't a long journey for them to be honest....

[-] jabjoe@feddit.uk 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I don't think so.

Only now are Nazis getting a foot hold again, at the same time they are getting a foot hold across the world. It is the after effects of the 2008 crash and Putin putting his thumb on scales where he can (troll farms and corruption).

The fact Germany doesn't stick out as more Nazi that France, or the US, or others, means the original denazification worked.

A lot of vagueness. How many is "Hundreds"? I guess under 700 or it would be "nearly a thousand".

Then "About a fifth of respondents said they had either decided to spoil their ballot paper or were considering doing so, among them Sharon". How do we know Sharon is reflective of the others? We don't.

It seams like picture painted with not a lot of data, from a self selecting group, that is being cherry picked. Maybe it's reflective, but I got no way of knowing it's even reflective of the few hundred who wrote to The Guardian about it.

This writer got an axe to grind?

Yep, Electronic Frontier Foundation. Key players in Right To Repair in the US. With good history of "fighting for the user".

I can see a lot of comments against copyright here, but has anyone considered the implications of changes to copyright on copyleft?

I argue copyleft is demonstrably socially useful in locking things open. I do wonder if we'll end up the two being different legally....

Can it run problem bank apps? I need a bank auth app for work as the bank stopped fobs and it just would not run on LineageOS. It refused to run because "the phone is insecure". I tried Magisk hiding stuff and MicroG, and a number of way of tricking methods. That's why I ended up on GrapheneOS, as a compromise without feeling too compromised. Everything seams to think it's on a normal Android phone, but I've sandboxed the Google tentacles. But it would be better if mandating OS wasn't allowed. If I want to run a "insecure" phone, that's my "problem".

It too me a while to work out why my Nextcloud stuff wasn't working on my phone. It wasn't until I went to http://duckdns.org on mobile data I saw the block. I had changed ISP from one with IPv6, which I had setup, to an ISP without it, and thought it might be that. But it was just coincidence.

I've written to O2 but I doubt they will change anything, so I'll be changing network.

So heads up UK O2 self hosting people!

Boxing Android (feddit.uk)

So I've got Android as I want. LineageOS, no Google, Magisk, MicroG but with AndroidAuto with OsmAnd+.

But the outside world of WhatsApp, Bank apps, etc is putting pressure to join. Plus not everything works properly with MicroG instead of the Google service provider. Makes me cross techno-politically, but I can't always hard life tech choices when it effects others.

So, what do others do? At the moment, I've thinking I need a non-free phone and a free-phone! Then what, I keep swapping SIM?? I can't see a workable VM solution to run a non-free Android in a freer Android.

The state of the phone market is pitiful.
