I am hoping that hydrogen can fill that gap. There is a lot wrong with it, but it can burn like gas and Europe has been building a bunch of infrastructure for it. I don’t think it is suitable for consumers like they tried to push with hydrogen car ideas, but it seems like it would have its place with large electrolysis solar stations on industrial rooftops and compressors inside.

I got suspenders (because the store was literally out of belts) for my work pants that use the worst claw clamp mechanism I have ever seen.

There is like a 5mm gap between the teeth so I have to fold my work pants belt line double and still if it experiences more than 0.1N of force, it will just fly off. I finally got a cheap 2nd hand belt.

I always do LVM now. Virtual partitions are the way to go, personally.

The amount of times that the root partitions have been 20-25GB but have still gotten completely full such that updates break… Well I could count it on one hand but still difficult enough that I would rather just use virtual partitions, especially on a server.

If I remember right, this has been quietly in the works for years. It aims to be a 1-1 discord replacement.

Screen sharing/streaming, group video channels, voice channels are a priority, some of which completely do not work at all or very limited in stoat (the last I heard about it). I think that is the difference.

A different focus than matrix or stoat which seem more about being a slack alternative first and then voice/video were thrown in later with YMMV results.

Isn’t this the guy who has posted a bunch of purely vibe-“coded” spam and then deletes it if the backlash becomes too big? Like the “temple-runner game” posted last week?

True, but the whole systemd age verification system is coming from the US mostly right? I guess the UK and Australia too but I think the US has a much bigger impact.

It was literally never about the children

There is a lawyer’s wet dream of evidence against thousands of real-world non-speculative child rapists and abusers with names, phones, emails, and literal video evidence and written admissions of guilt of systematic rape, torture, abuse, and child sex trafficking that are legally usable in court.

What has been done about it?

Not one. Single. Arrest. Because the guys implementing the tracking are the same ones raping and torturing children.

This is not a policy or tool to protect children.

This is a way for the exact same sadist pedophiles to track children’s identities so that they can use that plus data broker data to figure out what kids are most vulternable and target them to be raped, tortured, and abused.

I am interested what this is used for in practice.

For me, the biggest distraction is browsing itself. If I am trying to work on one of my many projects, I get distracted by cool YouTube videos or diving too deep into MCU features, or the “best” way to accomplish a task.

This seems like a similar feature as putting the browser in full screen mode, or am I missing something?

Also FormFutura is a Dutch company that sells recycled PET, PLA, ABS, ASA, and TPU filament and has a website in English with good prices.

Also a recycling service of course

We did exactly the opposite of what you say, we monitized the scams and turned to entire internet into an scam-ad infested wasteland of the greed of 10 people at the cost of driving the rest of humanity to mindless addictions, grooming, and manipulating human psyche to eek out more money and mass-propagandize.

The majority of the internet is 10x worse than it was 20 or 30 years ago and there are literally more bots than people, according to research.

I fine this a funny one.

If you can reconfigure a physical switch, that it by definition is not a kill switch for those functions. It is literally the same as turning them off in software.

Hell, I was decent at spotting AI gen content 1-2 years ago, but nowadays I get constantly fooled if I am just casually browsing. (Except electronics BS ai-gen tutorial websites that are generated for nearly every subset and are always the same garbage look and pop ups)

AI is dangerous. Curious that it is being pushed so hard by the Epstein class billionaires right when they are being exposed.

It often doesn’t really. It misses a ton and fills in the gaps itself. It is aimilar with multitasking in that it is really just fast task switching and filling the gaps.

I maan, there are dedinitely people that specifically train to speed read or listen, but i would be interested to have people speed read/listen short novels or so and check for comprehension after the fact.

What kind of alternative are you searching for? What feature set do you want?

There are a few things like Bottles, Heroic, gamehub, playonlinux, etc…

You’re right, we don’t live in a utopia, so do you actually think the governments (since all governments seem to be doing some form of this) will not simply allow bots (bots are from companies, and neo-liberal governments will twist themselves into an inter dimensional pretzel if it pleases megacorps), foreign intervention (having a valid foreign ID doesn’t atop people from astroturfing), etc?

They have more than a dozen ways to combat misinformation already and they actively choose not to use any of them at all because it meets their goals.

Do you think normal people will be able to access the IDs of anyone to see if they are astroturfing and spreading misinformation? Literally a 0.001% chance of that happening.

Literally the only thing that will happen is that normal people get tracked to hell and back and when the authoritarians manufacture enough consent to take power, it will immediately be used to dispose of their dissidents. Only bad comes from this because the democratic or socialist cleaning governments don’t have the spine to actually use it against the billionaire class.

Sony, in their infinite wisdom, defaults full data without the ability to choose a default, you can only deny upon plugging it in and it will eventually revert back to full data anyway

Zach Freedman always has quite thouroughly thought out videos. Not always interesting for me personally, but quite a few bangers.

And he launched Gridfinity into the ecosystem it is today.

They are trying to get rid of cash here. Bancontact in the Benelux is literally trying to do away with all cash exchange.

They have paid ( I assume since it all happened within a few months across many banks)/caused hundreds of banks to simply not accept cash input anymore at their ATMs and take out their ATMs entirely and built entirely new Bancontact ATMs everywhere that don’t accept any cash input, only output.

My girlfriend (cafe owner) has to drive 20 minutes to deposit cash income.

So essentially, they are trying to force businesses to not accept cash at all anymore if they make it inconvenient enough. Then everything flows through Pepol, and everything has to be paid via Bancontact and they will have a cut of literally everyone across multiple countries’ income as profit doing nothing but bribing politicians and banks.
