“Known CSAM” suggests researchers ran it through automated detection tools which the dataset authors could have used.

Their calendar, contacts and bridge don’t support CalDAV/CardDAV, so you can’t synchronise them anywhere.

The iOS app doesn’t synchronise contacts or calendars either. There’s a one way “upload to proton”, but not the most helpful.

The public holidays only include some countries (not mine).

Their VPN is terrible with 20% packet loss, despite sitting in the same data center as other VPN providers without that issue.

But, still not google, and their mail app is better on iOS than fastmail.

It’s not entirely clear cut.

Douglas P of Death in June (who I meant to reference in my original post) sells (sold?) Algiz Rune pins, and stickers of Totenkophs on rainbow backgrounds (but, he’s openly homosexual) as band merch.

Sol Invictus was formed by Tony Wakefield, who got kicked out of Death in June for being too right wing; and then he subsequently went on to create Above the Ruins for the National Front (interestingly, used to be banned but is back on Spotify), (but now regrets it).

Von Thronsthal use a logo very close to the Schwarze Sonne, and self-published under “Fasci-Nation Recordings”.

Both are on Spotify with no problems.

I like folk music and industrial music. The overlap of the two seems to also have a disproportionate overlap of … what’s the best way to put it?… fascist-adjacent music. Imagery, themes, etc.

Am I a fascist? No.

Are the artists fascist? I don’t know, Boyd Rice Douglas P/Death In June sure has had some controversies about him, but he’s not been banned from streaming services. But In some ways I don’t care, I don’t have the time to unpick every lyric, image and interview from the artists I listen to, to make a decision on their political views. I just like the music. Open a public playlist and listen.

None of the music I listen to appears to be sold on Midgard. But does that mean they’re not fascist?

To me it looks more like a modern manga/anime (more detail, smoother gradients) vs the original that paid homage to (classic?) manga (black and white / block colour).

And now everywhere we have cell towers sticking out of the ground with little consideration for where it is.

Hasn’t this been happening for years?

Intel’s clear Linux had similar articles published about it years ago.

You guys are getting cubicles? Living the dream.

Just want to turn my laptop on and not have to wonder if everything will work.

Not have to perpetually debug small issues like “why is there no sound? Oh it’s playing out of a different audio device”

Not have to worry about installing software and where it comes from, and in which format.

I just want shit to work, day in, day out. And I’m fully aware that I’d probably have these issues, plus others, with osx or windows.

Is this just the cost per raw Watt produced?

Is it a fair comparison vs conventional fuel-based power (coal/nuclear)?

Ie: if you wanted to build a plant capable of producing continuously, 24 hours a day, you would need some multiple of solar panels to produce an excess during daylight, and storage.

Not that drastic drops in solar costs aren’t bad, just what would the cost-per-watt be if you had to power an average city on just solar for a year?

Exactly. The AIs job is to generate humanness. The things that don’t look human get discarded, the things that have strong human indicators get kept. Oh look, the AI did its job. Shocked pikachu.

The white thing is probably just a case of biased training data. Which is going to be a problem across all AIs. I wouldn’t be surprised if in 5-10 years (if the fad lasts longer than NFTs lmao) we find out the ‘AIs’ have all been fed biased data as yet another means of large corporations controlling the narrative of the population.

Most foods. Store brands are (nearly) always lacking in something. Be it tiny sized canned beans, or jam whose only flavour is ‘sweet’. That shit is cheap for a reason.

Doesn’t apply to everything (depending on where you live), some things you can’t cut corners on without advertising it. 2% Milk is 2% milk.

But largely, low cost food has been made low cost via haircuts and shortcuts.

The Kirklands one is good, but doesn’t hold an emulsion. And trying to stir a 3000 litre tub of “hazelnut spread” to re-emulsify it isn’t on my list of desirable morning activities.

And it’s probably fucking cheaper than exactly the same thing in New Zealand.

If you buy a Sony Bravia you can put them into “pro mode” which keeps all the signal processing, but lets you turn off android.

Absolutely fucking awful. I’ve had issues with every one I’ve used.

Been trying to move to silverblue/ublue/sericia.

Firefox comes out of the box as both a system package and a flatpak. The flatpak does WebGL stuff fine, but video is broken; the system package does video, but webgl is broken.

Boxes was the first app I had needed to open a file with, and every time I need to, I have to restart some systemd portal service first. And there’s no guest to host audio.

I always had this problem with Inkscape on standard fedora where the icons on the layers menu would be corrupted. Wasn’t so on my first use of it with flatpak. Great! But subsequent runs the issue returned.

Discord worked fine for a few weeks. Then it started crashing on launch. A bit of googling and installing an old MESA platform flatpak had the problem resolved… for a day.

The only flatpak that has worked without a hitch has been Spotify.

Everything is so different, I have no idea how to debug this shit. And even then, I’m not 15 with unlimited time and zero dollars any more. I don’t have the time to spend 5 hours working out why my image editors icons are wrong.

Having a one-stop distribution-agnostic repository where it’s easy to install software devops-style is a win. (Setting up custom repos, or installing the latest rpm every week (looking at you discord) can be a pain). Buuut I’m not convinced.

Sample size too small

Nice!

Now I’ve just got to work out why mine has suddenly started crashing on startup with GPU errors.

Is any chromium based browser an “underdog”?

Is it really much of a choice? The bits around the outside are slightly different, big fucking deal.

You’re still contributing to and supporting the google hegemony.

No, being able to do this would nullify the benefits of a hardware token.

Well, maybe you could with expensive equipment to inspect the individual state of the memory on the chip while it’s running, but generally hardware tokens are made tamper proof.

Plus, yes, it’s probably a proprietary totp algorithm.
