Yeah, I am no fan of proton and they have lied before (no log VPN logs magically finding logs for authorities and then later removing the no-log claim).
But this is literally just proton being legally compelled to hand over data the user willingly gave (not being harvested or de-encrypted). A nothing story.
Which is still all due to investors not looking longer than 2 years since all of the crashing companies except Northvolt are startups. Lithium prices will always rise again at a much much higher rate than sodium.
Sodium was always better for grid storage due to temperature charging and discharging and still plenty cheaper than Lithium Iron Phosphate that it is a replacement for.
Wasn’t the last thinkphone from 2024?
Would be nice, but the last think phone had mediatek instead of Qualcomm so I don’t know if that will be the case (mediatek seems a lot harder to make custom ROMs for and there aren’t too many).
But modeled after the first think phone would be awesome. USB 3.1, wireless charging, decent camera for its time, but no SD card slot or headphone jack…
I did IT for my company on the side of my job for a year or two.
Prolific problem where windows would disable the microphone but every single “windows tool” said it was working perfectly fine except teams would say it was not available.
The only possible fix that someone on the internet found was to download an old sketchy file from a 3rd party source for an archived version of their “pre-help-assistant AI slop” audio troubleshooter, and run that and it would immediately say “oh, it is disabled, let me re-enable it for you”
Even though every tool, setting, and even registry said it was enabled.
Microsoft has the worst audio.
It also has the bonus that is one file has an issue, it doesn’t lock up and crash every single other open document in different instances across excel, word, powerpoint, everything lol
Centralized platforms for multiple uses and a huge tool ecosystem. That is it. It is simply much much much easier to set up and get a consistent experience.
Embedded coding (as an example) has an extremely scattered ecosystem of vendor-run IDE forks which are usually a pretty bad experience.
Their commandline documentation is often complete trash so instead of fixing that, they just make a simple plugin for vscode and they have a cross-compatible IDE that already works with all of their customers’ favorite plugins with very little work.
Also, code-server. There is no other IDE that has an experience like that as far as I know.
Don’t the panama papers detail a lot of this and a financial trail of how they collaborate with one another?
It seems like the panama papers had been collectively forgotten 2 years later, but they give blatant evidence of the secret elite money laundering and invisible payment network of collaboration IIRC.
As far as Nazi ideology, fascism always goes hand in hand with corporatism, so it makes sense.
I respectfully disagree. I understand what you are saying. But censorship and echo chambers on a platform level are a related, but different issue.
I agree that Lemmy is very much anti-censorship.
However, echo chambers can exist with 0 platform censorship whatsoever. It doesn’t have to be the platform’s fault. If people only read and interact with communities who’s viewpoints confirm their own, that is a completely self-made echo chamber. Completely seperate than censorship and completely unrelated to the platform, but instead the people and community moderators.
For example, hexbear users pretty much only interact with hexbear and .ml users (and often ban others). That is an echo chamber. The .world main communities ban people of both too far right and too far left so there is little interaction of those viewpoints with those communities. That is an echo chamber. The community of open source doesn’t ban many people, but the only people who go to that community are very positive about open source. That is an echo chamber.
If you have a dozen rooms in the same building and you have 1 room that thinks the world is flat and the people don’t go into any other room, even though they have free and open access and can go to hear the opinions of the 11 other rooms, that room is an echo chamber
Lol nope, i don’t use bluesky. I agree that corporate manipulative media can go fuck themselves.
I was just correcting your implication for other viewers that the fediverse is any different as far as echo chambers. It is just not a corporate controlled echo chamber.
I mean, every community is an echo chamber, that is what online communities do and have done since the beginning of the internet. Hell, in-person meeting groups are echo chambers more often than not. If you go to an open source convention, the people there will probably echo your opinions on the topic.
Lemmy is definitely an echo chamber in many different communities, I would venture to say most. If someone thinks left communities aren’t as much of an echo chamber as liberal or conservative, then they either haven’t spent enough time there or are lying to themselves just like the people that say “propaganda won’t work on me”
People gravitate towards people with the same views who confirm their worldview. Even if you discuss topics and have different views, you are still in a group with like 90% the same views. That is just how humans are unless one makes a conscious effort to go into hugely different groups like specific debate groups or something.
I used this back in the day after i left university with free MATLAB.
Very functional, but struggled (8 years ago was the last I tried) with large datasets, especially variable exploring. It also was missing signal processing and filtering libraries back then.
I had since switched to python with numpy, Pandas, scipy, and matplotlib and it is phenomenal.
I would try it out because it has probably improved a ton, but Python is now available in excel (and it already was in libreoffice) for sharing scripts with people without python at work, so I don’t know if it is worth it lol.
Duh, stream a b&w tty terminal in all of its glory! What is ssh?
What I don’t get is that is
I find it very confusing to get a good workflow with it + calibre.
I sync all of my books (and use readarr for organization or occasionally grabbing books from dead authors) via syncthing. Then calibre web won’t ingest any new books I copy to the folder, so I have to go to desktop calibre to add them manually, then it will sync the database and calibre-web has a built-in task for scanning any database changes so then the book will show up.
Seems like a clunky method and I would think I am doing it wrong, but I haven’t found a way for calibre to scan books already organized in folders in its book directory.
Maybe not a good example because all TVs and Smart fridges run MCUs (or SBUs) that are 10x-20x more powerful than what is in any smart watch besides the apple watch (where the watch is mostly one gigantic custom IC).
They usually run NXP I.MX Arm M7 processors at the bare bare bare minimum, much more common is an ARM A7 or higher which is a completely different world than the tiny nrf52840 with 192KB of RAM and 1MB of flash that is standard across lower-end smart watches (and doesn’t go upuch with higher end) That is why I was confused. But I guess people get down voted to hell for asking a question lol
I would think Linux would be way too heavy for these watches. A lot of them use pretty lean MCUs, a far cry from the beefy Qualcomm phone chips that Post market runs on.
Even running zephyr on the NRF52840 can get heavy with adding a bunch of apps to it.
Nah, it is pretty much if you didn’t buy one of 2 trendy models of the year, then nothing else has ever or will ever be supported (of course you can always write your own drivers but it is a ton of work, especially for non-coders)
I have a thought that a lot of the enthusiasts that go through the pain and effoet of writing all of these drivers for old phones they have were usually the kind of people to buy the best/most popular device of the year
Can trillium store all files in markdown/plaintext?
How is the theming by trillium? I use a light tan interface because it is much easier on my eyes, personally than high contrast white or eye-straining dark themes.
I have made laundry lists in the past of things that either you can’t do with windows, or you need to regedit and hack around it. Literally basic as fuck things.
Hell, until a year or two ago, you couldn’t open the location of a file from a file search, and it obscured (and still does) the full path of the file in the search pane. Not to mention how bad the search is in general.
Don’t get me started on the “modern sleep” bullshit lol
Convenient that Israel has bought up a huge portion of VPNs just recently and has one of the largest spying and influence networks in the world.
