Sadly, my guess is it will not have any effect on noise levels. I’ve seen reports that said 70% of vehicles breaking noise limits are motorbikes, 20% a passenger cars and only 10% are trucks. Correlates perfectly with what I see around me, most loud vehicles are “tuned up” motorbikes. People who need their motorbike to “sound cool” will not switch to EV anytime soon. If they do they will find a way to make it noisy. Just how car brain operates.
I was thinking about it recently. For Linux to compete with Windows in corporate settings it has to offer some very specific functionalities. It has to basically be remotely managed. At one of my previous companies Mac users were not able to use AirDrop or even change the desktop background and screen saver. Linux users still had root level access and could do whatever they wanted because the company didn’t have tools to manage Linux desktops. If Canonical is trying to get corporate clients (and I think they are) then yes, they absolutely need to treat their users as if they can’t be trusted. That’s because corporations don’t trust their employees. And it’s perfectly fine, just don’t use Ubuntu as a personal distro.
You would be surprised at how many people are idiots.
I can confirm, people are destroying their cameras. Dozens of them!
Not enough propaganda. They should call it ‘Beautiful, Clean, Greenest of the Green, Climate Protecting, Bird Saving, Woke Antifa Tears Inducing, All-American, Beef Loving, Lungs Restoring Coal’.
Yes. The solution for bots and foreign actors filling social media with propaganda is to identify its users. What’s the downside, in EU specifically, to giving social media companies your ID? What are they going to do with it they don’t do already?
Nobody would go to a political rally by an anonymous dude in a balaclava with a yank or russian accent
You would be surprised…
You do realize that the billionaires are already surveilling and censoring everyone? Google sharing info with ICE, Bezos killing Washington Post, Musk modifying algorithms to promote his messages and banning inconvenient accounts, Thiel promoting his crazy agenda through Palantir and so on and so on.
When you say “government should not surveil and censor” you’re really saying “only billionaires should surveil and censor”.
The proper way forward is to censor the shit out of Russian bot ridden, billionaire controlled propaganda machines that is social media and move discussion back to civilized places. People who think that places like Twitter are net benefit for society are delusional. They gave us nothing but bunch of right wing populists and disinformation while real media is still doing all the actual oversight. The sooner all those places are banned the better.
Basically GrapheneOS is for people worried about law enforcement or some state actors trying to access their phone using some commercial tools or 0 day exploits. It’s useful for journalist, lawyers, activists and so on.
Average users don’t really have to worry about those things. It’s unlikely that someone will try to hack you using such tools, you most probably don’t have any data wort protecting and it’s quicker and easier for you to just unlock your phone than to spend days/weeks/months in jail trying to protect your data.
What average user should care about is removing Google from their phones and blocking trackers. Other ROMs like iode also come without Google and have better tools than GrapheneOS for blocking trackers. They are as secure as any other Android phone.
I just remember things. Usually I think about the next steps in a projects while cycling or something. And then I implement them.
I tried using trello and similar couple of times but in the and I would barely use it and eventually forget to update it.
This. Bind connect command to a keyboard shortcut. Live in peace.
That’s exactly what I said. GrapheneOS devs target very specific group of users and most privacy focused users will be served better by other ROMs. They can do whatever they want but they clearly don’t care about wider community and I think wider community shouldn’t care about them as much as it does.
GrapheneOS developers are quite dickish about what they are willing to implement and how they treat their users. They work under the assumption that GrapheneOS is for people afraid of being hacked (like actively targeted by state level actors) and refuse to add anything that in their view compromises security. So for example they refuse to add pattern unlock because they think it’s less secure than PIN which is silly because I can just use ‘0000’ PIN which is as insecure as any pattern. It’s the same with supporting other phones. Personally I’m not worried about police trying to hack my phone, I just want deGoogled system with tracker protection. GrapheneOS devs don’t care. It’s all or nothing with them. I would recommend iode over Graphene to anyone not as paranoid as the devs.
I think it would be more useful to read The Rust Book twice than to learn C. Just read it slowly, try to understand everything, explore the topics it mentions in depth.
I’m sure some people would still be able to code just fine on crap hardware but it’s silly to think Open Source will not suffer if access to good hardware is limited.
Just running rust-analyzer for not-so-big project requires 5GB of RAM. Inspecting libraries will start another process and I sometimes have 2 projects open at the same time. You can work without it, using simple text editor but DX will way worse and unless you’re some Rust guru you will work slower. Compilation time will be way worse on older CPU so you will iterate slower. That’s why Linus is using a Threadripper.
Running integration tests for Java project I’m working on maxes out my 16 core CPU. My co-workers with older laptops struggled to set up the development environment and build the project because they were constantly running out of RAM.
Yes, we were all writing code 20 years ago in vim with just syntax highlighting but new stacks and new tools require new hardware.
Dude, I’m coding every day and I know what hardware requirements I have. You can write some code slowly on a potato but a lot of software development requires tons of RAM and powerful CPU. Linus Torvalds is using Threadripper 9960X for a reason.
Archeologist: Close analysis of pixels in this artifact will tell us that it belongs to the late AOL/early digg.com era.
easiest way to track literally everything you do on your system.
And ban undesired activities. “We see you’re building app to track ICE agents. That’s illegal. Your account was banned and all your data removed.”.
Yeah, I feel you. Where I live bikes are super popular and half of them have illegal exhaust. From what I gathered police can’t really do anything because they have valid technical revisions. They change the exhaust for the revision and change it back after. Police can’t invalidate it just because it sounds laud (even if it’s obvious). I was reading about Singapore. They had the same problem, changed the laws and now it’s getting better. What you have to do is simply make possession and sale of illegal/modified exhausts illegal. In EU no one cares. EU has general noise guidelines and acts as if changing them will help. Meanwhile bikers simply ignoring the guidelines.
The safety argument is bullshit. Motorbikes are dangerous because people ride them like idiots. I read articles in local newspaper all the time about dead bikers and most of the time they just lose control and hit the barriers. Laud bike is not going to save you from your own lack of responsibility. It they would drive below speed limit and stopped squeezing between cars all the time they wouldn’t need loud bikes to be safe. On top of that most accidents happen on weekend when people are simply riding bikes for fun. If your hobby can’t be practiced safely without harming others it’s a stupid hobby.
