aah thank you! now I can make sense of those last jumbled letters, quite the unusual word combination for sure ^^

good initiative but uh what’s up with that domain name?

Google and Apple have always happily complied with the governments understanding and expectations of their borders and show whatever creates the least problems for them.

If you look at the maps from India or from Pakistan for example, the shape of the borders will look dramatically different.

The question is how it will look for people outside the US, they will surely continue to show Gulf of Mexico for a while in other places

The website itself doesn’t seem to have a problem with its certificate: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=www.fosslinux.com&s=155.138.208.156&latest=

it might be related to the root certificates available on your device. you might be able to click the barred icon and read details about the error that’s encountered

nevertheless, i’m against generative AI, i don’t want any of this slop to be served to me. if you can’t afford paying an artist or license something valuable to illustrate your article, leave it.

i totally agree with you: ai pic = lazy, and makes me instantly think that the text attached to it was regurgitated by ShitGPT.

i saw him on two separate youtube channels: Magnus Midtbø (norwegian climber) and Will Tennyson (bodybuilding vlogger)

in both cases, they were invited by Bryan Johnson to his lair, going through his routine. it felt like a surreal cringe fest of zero social awareness. Bryan was permanently looking for some kind of validation, comparing his skills to his guest, or asking the various personal trainers / doctors if he beat some younger age category, etc.

everything he does can’t be healthy and i wouldn’t call what he does “living”. he’s bound to a 24h program where everything is planned down to the minute.

Of course it can’t work right away for everyone. But it’s a conversation you can have, explain your concerns, why it would be better to move on to a different software.

I used to talk to my family over WhatsApp, until they had a 24h outage and we switched to Signal, to never come back. But I still have dozens of other people there who won’t switch. At some point it’s a tradeoff you decide to make

fair point, i’d recommend going as far as we can, we f’ed up big time on the way!

transitioning isn’t legally recognized anymore, per executive order, you may only use the operating system assigned at birth /s

i’ve moved my communication to Signal, it’s been good so far and i haven’t heard of privacy-related incidents

yeah it’s probable better not committing additional information, they won’t collect more about you if you never use it

All the power to you! We need to normalize keeping in touch with each other in a more personal way. They robbed writing thoughtful letters, postcards and greeting cards from us.

Time to close all your accounts on anything owned by Meta, y’all. There is a Fediverse or privacy-oriented version of everything they do. And maybe you won’t find the same people there, but you certainly will find new ones that are definitely worth your time and attention. Ad-free. Nazi-bootlicker-free.

edit: typo

Don't look up has a pretty accurate depiction of what the billionaires will be able to achieve when the end of the world comes.

And the series Mr. Robot did very well by showing realistic software and hardware all along.

luckily I don’t have to eat every day!

awesome, that will go nicely with my 6-month financing for last week’s Papa Joe’s pizza

i think the title has the “you” meant in the “you all” sense, if the customers as a whole save energy, the price per unit goes up.

yeah, i just did the derivative first and added that last x at the end, same result

ah ok you’re adding the final x directly to the polynomial, that’s fine then, yes
