I've been using a Librem 5 as a daily driver for years and before that I used a PinePhone for several years. It can work if you're willing to adjust to live with it's constraints (but then also enjoy the benefits).

Those fonts do exist:

Same with a Librem 5 and for about the same amount of time too.

Not the parent but I'll reply for myself. I have a Librem 5 as my personal phone which I take with me when I go places and use as my daily driver. I also have a Pixel running GrapheneOS with work and personal profiles for the few times I need to run an Android application but it more or less permanently stays at my desk. The Android applications I have on that phone are banking (required to use Zelle at my bank) and management applications for various devices (ex: managing settings on my bluetooth headphones). I don't need to use those often and when I do it can wait until I'm back at my desk where my GrapheneOS phone lives.

Having gone down the rabbit hole of researching aftermarket ECUs for my cars I've discovered that in the US it's basically illegal to make changes to any part of a street legal car's emission control system which of course includes the ECU. It seems that it has been for several years but the EPA did not enforce the regulation consistently.

Rosebud.ai is building the synthetic media platform for web3. We are helping creators make composable assets for web3 world building.

We're the team that built Tokkingheads (2 million IOS downloads, all organic) that allows any portrait/photo/face to be animated in seconds with no skill. Creators use Tokkingheads to make memes, deepfake parodies, NFTs. We’re a team of PhD researchers, creatives and engineers backed by Y Combinator with our seed led by Vinod Khosla at Khosla Ventures with participation from Balaji Srinivasan *(Former CTO Coinbase and A16Z GP), Ilya Sutskever (cofounder/chief scientist Open AI), Kevin Lin (cofounder COO Twitch), Holly Liu Co-founder Kaba, Kun Gao (cofounder, CEO Crunchyroll), Linda Xie Founder Scalar Capital, Jon Snoddy SVP @ Walt Disney Imagineering, Jeff Dean SVP Google Research, Adam D'Angelo CEO Quora, and Lily Liu. cofounder Earn.com.

This is an underrated comment. Many who believe we have a right to be safe don't understand that it's impossible to achieve without sacrificing other fundamental rights (i.e. privacy, liberty).

You can finish an AR-15 80% lower with commonly available hand tools in a few minutes. I don't see how the CNC machine that automates this procedure is somehow "dangerous". It's just a smaller, cheaper, and more specialized variant of a regular CNC machine which anyone could already buy.

Yes, you can disable the internal apps it ships with if you don't want to use them and just not install any third-party ones either. Only caveat is during one upgrade I noticed some of them had been re-enabled so now I make sure to check each time.

A common way to implement this is through SSSD which can cache keys locally when the LDAP server is not responding.

Not really. Let me prefix my reply with some context: I've used Puppet, Salt Stack, Ansible, and PowerShell DSC to manage infrastructure based on Windows, Linux, and macOS on top of bare metal servers, VMs, and containers. Any tool that promises to "make the complex simple" is really just hiding the complexity away from you behind default settings and their own implementation. Which is probably fine for simple use cases. If your application can be deployed to Heroku then deploying to a Kubernetes cluster you don't have to manage is probably analogous in terms of overhead and how much complexity you have to worry about. However this simply doesn't scale as your application increases in complexity.

In fact I recently completed a migration away from Docker/Kubernetes to an AWS stack that doesn't use anything higher level than autoscaling groups and it has been a positive experience. The same application is now faster (less layers necessary), easier to deploy (we own all the moving pieces), easier to debug in production (I can use strace and tcpdump without trying to install them in an already running Docker container), etc. All of the "complexity" that Docker and Kubernetes were handling for us has been replaced with a ~ 500 line Python script that's mostly comments (you can see an early prototype of this script in the repository below, named deploy_build.py, which omits some error handling but weighs in at ~ 150 LoC). Furthermore, now that we have to think about how to package and deploy our application to production, the incentives are there to follow proper Python best practices around packaging (i.e. use packages, don't make assumptions about paths, etc) which has been a nice bonus.

Containers (and Docker, Kubernetes, etc) are all tools that have their use cases and corresponding tradeoffs. Anyone who can't explain when or why you wouldn't want to use a tool is not prepared to explain when or why you should use it.

Take a look at Twitter PEX. I gave a short talk on it earlier this year (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abnwINA50DE).

I think you actually made mine which was that anything can be classed as a weapon therefore the object in question isn't as relevant as the person wielding it. Yes, you can put them on a continuum, but I'd still rather not be in an elevator with a person intent on doing me harm regardless of the object they are holding.

"There are no dangerous weapons; there are only dangerous men."

It's a quote by Robert Heinlein from Starship Troopers (https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/141333-there-are-no-dangero...). I don't agree with your reasoning either by the way.

Men with pencils are more dangerous than men without therefore pencils are dangerous.

I agree with your viewpoint but I'm also aware of several security standards that explicitly specify all traffic between hosts needs to be encrypted. Sometimes it's easier to meet the standard verbatim than try and justify an exception. If you already use a configuration management tool it shouldn't be a lot more overhead to install some certificates.

You can opt out when you buy the vehicle. Like anyone at a dealership will care or know to even give you the choice. I wasn't and only found out about it when I saw the IMEI number on the sticker with the engine information.

I recently bought a Tacoma and was surprised to find out this is not always the case. Take a look at their privacy policy for "connected services": https://www.toyota.com/privacyvts/.

I don't get it? Just because you own a firearm or have one on your person does not mean you must use it. Also, just because you do not feel comfortable deciding when it's appropriate to use a firearm does not mean other people feel the same way.

Did you keep reading?

> A different issue is whether defensive uses of guns, however numerous or rare they may be, are effective in preventing injury to the gun-wielding crime victim. Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was “used” by the crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies.

I agree that it's not a definitive link, which is part of why I said we need more data, but the it's not non-existent either. I wish police departments would track and report this statistic like they do murders and suicides.

Indeed, it turns out it's complicated. That's why I said we need more data. I'm not ready to throw the baby out with the bathwater just yet.

Edit: posted in a different comment but including here as well.

If you're arguing for proper storage of guns, I completely agree with you. If you're arguing that we should reduce gun ownership to save lives, you're ignoring how many lives are saved by private ownership of guns. Unfortunately, no one keeps track of this statistic, but the CDC estimates between 500,000 and 3,000,000 lives are saved in any given year [0]. This study only provides an estimate, but still, compare that to 13,000 firearm related murders [1] and 22,000 suicides [2, Table 6 on page 33]. I think we need more data but from what I've seen so far it seems to me private gun ownership is a net benefit.

Unity wasn't perfect but I personally really enjoyed it after the initial adjustment period. I mostly switch between a web browser, a terminal, and a text editor. I like how Unity let me run the applications I needed while staying out of my way and taking up mininal screen space.
