It needs a feature that disables the whole page and prevents you from using it if it detects you are using Forefox.

Got my PebbleTime 2 about two months ago. I like it for tracking my exercise, heart rate, calendar, and time. My favorite is the alarm which is capable of vibrating when the watch suspects you are not at the deepest point in your sleep.

I feel people like that are unpleasant to be around. Sorry for you friend.

I mean, I wasn't even thinking at that level. It's been about 10 years since Facebook forced everyone to verify their identity. The only difference now is there is a push to codify it into law.

It never came, it has always been here.

Definitely being unreasonable, but that's one of the reasons I don't have an electric vehicle yet. I'm paranoid of that thing catching fire in my garage. Which is ironic since one of my random electronic devices with li-batteries probably could catch fire regardless in my house. At least with a gasoline it seems we are better equipped to deal witg such fires.

Overall my end goal is to have a seperate storage for the e-vehicle.. Plus it be easier to slap some solar on that structure.

That is the one of the main reasons they passed the law to limit 3-d printers.

Now where I could agree with you is if you made the argument on a state-by-state level. Pretty sure what you said would hold up in Texas

Can you use an LLM to teach you how to build a gun or use it to design a gun for you build? Can an LLM be used to generate images of young people for older perverts? If yes, then it's not very hard to make the argument that you need to be licensed in order to run an LLM on your local machine. Why wouldn't you want to be licensed? Are you against protecting children and public safety? Many students die from gun violence every year and massive amounts of minors are taken advantage of by human filth. Why would you be against protecting the most vulnerable in our society?

It will look good for politicians who pass legislation to "protect" the vulnerable. Potentially improving the chances of another term due to the marketing benefits of pushing such a law through. I think you are mistaken believing that this may never happen.

It's still on my steam wishlist.

I'm not sure if I've heard this discussion from somewhere else and took it as my owm thought. Anyways, I consider this era the beginning of tech feudalism. I honestly don't think we'll be able to escape it. Please note I use Linux and GapheneOS as my two main daily drivers. Most normal people do not care and they think it's crazy I'd make my life so inconvenient. It's my perspective, but I believe users in general don't care, understand, and prefer convenience over choice. Which gives a lot of power to this push for max control. Wether we like it or not I think we won't be able to stop it. I'm not being negative about it or trying to demoralize anyone. We already have at least four basic tech-feudal states, Microsoft, Android, Apple, and Freedom-Software. Each one somewhat has a used base that reflects it's ideology.

Doom pioneered the FPS genre in the USA. So it has a cultural significance. I used to go to my friends house to play it. You deal with a whole range of aspects such as grapchics, sound, networking,.. Etc. So it's a fun challange for hackers to try to get it to work in the most strange of ways. In addition it's a simple goal (with a complex path). So it helps with the focus, and most importantly the fun programming challenges involved in making the game work.

My dad retired from truck driving right before the covid lockdowns (2020). The regulations were a massive painpoint. During the Obama's last term they passed in strict time tracking regulations and forced everyone to have GPS trackers on their trucks to enforce the time tracking.

Due to this my dad had to drive a higher average speed of ~65-70mph to cover the distances required and not use up his available hours.

Before he'd drive slower 55-65 ave mph for longer hours and take frequent breaks.

Regulations are fine, but when you make them too strict it makes it difficult for new drivers to join and usually it's easier to be part of a corperation than an owner-operator (my dad).

Does the FCC consider modern cars as an IoT device? Especially considering modern cars can be wirelessly connected to now.

I like to use https://ground.news/. At least it attempts to show you what the biases are based on political leanings.

It's actually not liquid (at least that's the theory). It's more like butter. The magma that you see at the surface is due to the rocks melting since there is a decreases in pressure and there are other minerals in the rock i.e. water. Don't quote me on that... that's what I remember from my Geology class from 10+ years ago.

20,000 people killed. That's a mind blowing number. Didn't realize it was that high.

It probably depends where you live and your social groups. In MT it seems that there are two main groups of people. Those who are into outdoor activities (healthier lifestyle) and your other group which is more adverse to the outdoors and prefer to socialize in Bars or at events. If you fall into the latter, it can be socially isolating if you want to lose weight or maintain a healthy eating habit.

Thanks, I should of read it more thoroughly. Skimmed it instead, did a second pass and noticed a paragraph regarding vehicle charge longevity and the lack of charging stations.

I'm surprised, I thought the electric engines would supply more torque. Thereby making it easier to plow snow.

My main desktop's primary OS is Arch Linux with KDE as the desktop environment. Before it used to be difficult to setup Arch, but these days I only had to install it with the `archinstall` script.

Most of the additional setup that I needed to do is thoroughly documented on their website. The majority of the packages I need are either available via pacman or the AUR.

The only issues I have to deal with at the moment is the random system instability due to the Nvidia drivers (about once a week). But things are appearing to stabize with each update. Not too bothered by that since I can play a lot of my Steam games with Proton.

I've been using derivatives of Linux since 2007. It just gets better each year.

Argumentum ad populum

I must be missing something here. How does it help an investigation by fetching the meta data of those who read an article? Anyone could of read the article within that time period.

I'm no expert in cryptography, but don't most versions of TLS/HTTPS use RSA for encryption? Which in turn uses the private/public key methodology to prevent such attacks?

Reminds me of this https://www.nand2tetris.org/

If 230 didn't exist we would have had a different medium for a public commons. These companies have become the commons and are now acting as a publisher in order to influence public debate in a direction they deem fit. Perhaps a solution to S230 is to add a clause that specifically states that the 1st amendment has to be upheld if they wish to be protected?

I would say yes... but these companies have Section 230 protection. At what point can the public have a say in their business? Specifically when these protections were originally given to protect companies from lawsuits due to what people were posting on their platforms?

Makes me think of this quote (not sure where it came from):

"There is no principled argument for censorship only argument from power"

Comes to my mind after reading the latest blog post.
