VoxPelli··on Busy Status Bar
Is there any message from the Flipper Zero people that this is actually their device?

It’s not mentioned on https://www.flipperdevices.com/, neither on https://flipperzero.one/ or their Instagram?

They have been plagued with peopling scamming people in their name before

VoxPelli··on Bringing Back the Turboc Colorscheme
Next up: Make a VSCode version
VoxPelli··on Gorhill pulls uBlock Origin Lite from Firefox store
Feels like they were just waiting for a reason to pull out – likely feels its a hassle to upload and have it review and just want everyone to trust them and keep it simple

And I guess some people would claim that since its an open source addon no one can feel entitled to anything else

VoxPelli··on uBlock Origin Lite maker ends Firefox store support, slams Mozilla
How is that at all relevant here? Google doesn't have this same review process for Chrome?
VoxPelli··on Gorhill pulls uBlock Origin Lite from Firefox store
Because no one ever have taken over and compromised high profile extensions?

Chrome battles with it a lot, see eg. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36146278

I find Mozilla's process to be quite reassuring, but would be good to have alternative "addon stores" that also have a review process

VoxPelli··on Greppability is an underrated code metric
I advocate for greppability as well – and in Swedish it becomes extra fun – as the equivalent phrase in Swedish becomes "grep-bar" or "grep-barhet" and those are actual words in Swedish – "greppbar" roughly means "understandable", "greppbarhet" roughly means "the possibility to understand"
VoxPelli··on Zed on Linux Is Here
I do believe one can join collab sessions from https://vscode.dev/ as well? So no need to install anything, it runs well and officially in the browser

And for those with installed VSCode they need to add the Live Share extension to get this functionality, it’s not built in from the start, but offered through that official extension? https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MS-vsliv...

VoxPelli··on AMD funded a drop-in CUDA implementation built on ROCm: It's now open-source
Sounds like he had a good contract, would be great to read more about that, hopefully more devs could include the same phrasing!
VoxPelli··on Sam Altman seeking trillions for AI chip fabrication from UAE, others
Is it Sam Altman or OpenAI?

If Altman, then is he doing like what Musks says he will do – and do new AI-investments outside of the company he is CEO at, to own more of it?

What kind of company owners allows their CEO:s to do such things?

VoxPelli··on YUI Compressor (2013)
I think this ancient project is from before Node.js and npm was a major thing

I predates webpack, uglifyjs etc by years

And is an ancient artifact that has no place in current day JS

VoxPelli··on My cat water fountain comes with a spicy USB power adapter
Increased voltage in itself is okay if done through any of the negotiated power delivery standards such as USB PD

Latest USB PD supports up to 48V and up to 5A, resulting in 240W

That’s also a reason why not all fast chargers work well for all products – if the required voltage + amperage combination is not supported then the closest supported lower combination will be used instead.

That said, 7.5 volt is not a supported voltage in USB PD at least and there seems to be no handshake that guards it in this case

VoxPelli··on Ask HN: Can we do better than Git for version control?
Locally there’s a kind of version control for branches in the “git reflog” where you can see how a branch alias has been moved
VoxPelli··on Swedish court rules against Tesla in dispute with postal service over deliveries
It feels odd to have to provide sources to disprove someone who didn’t provide sources for their claims.

That makes it asymmetrically harder to respond to lies than it is to spread them.

One should be able to point out that a source-less comment is questionable without having to reference sources oneself.

VoxPelli··on Swedish Tesla strike goes international as Norwegian and Danish unions join in
One of Norway’s unions are demanding this: https://www.dn.no/arbeidsliv/lo-lederen-mener-oljefondet-bor...

That either they convince Tesla to sign an agreement or they sell it all.

Norwegian politicians are also acting and eg. requesting discussions with Tesla in Norway to discuss the Nordic model with them.

VoxPelli··on Swedish Tesla strike goes international as Norwegian and Danish unions join in
PostNord is a private company owned by the Swedish and Danish government and who has won a tender with the Swedish transport authority to carry out the deliveries for them.

Private workers for a private company exercising their union protected rights.

I thought Americans loved private companies? But apparently not when it’s a postal service and it affects a treasure like Tesla?

VoxPelli··on Swedish Tesla strike goes international as Norwegian and Danish unions join in
It’s fun to see Americans upset over private workers exercising their rights and the fact that Swedish postal service is a private business, must hurt to realize that the Nordics in many ways has less government overhead than the US :D
VoxPelli··on Swedish Tesla strike goes international as Norwegian and Danish unions join in
Sweden has to double down on Esrange I guess
VoxPelli··on Swedish Tesla strike goes international as Norwegian and Danish unions join in
Swedish postal service is open to any private actor and does not have any law enforcement wing.

Lots of companies have access to the mail boxes. I know of at least three companies that deliver to my mailbox + one that delivers marketing materials to it.

_Sympathy strikes_ only make sense when directed towards the target of the original strike.

If all sympathy strikes were to be total walkouts then it would result in a general strike and that doesn’t target any specific party and thus doesn’t put pressure on them

VoxPelli··on Swedish Tesla strike goes international as Norwegian and Danish unions join in
There are no agency workers who are participating in any strikes? Unlike the US we have a privatized postal service and the old postal service is now merged with the danish postal service and co-owned between the Swedish and Danish states and competing on an open market with other postal services.

Not everyone has state postal services like in the US

VoxPelli··on Swedish Tesla strike goes international as Norwegian and Danish unions join in
The Swedish model makes it so that we rarely have large strikes, despite having strong unions, as typically companies work together with the unions rather than against the unions.

In a way the Swedish model has found an equilibrium between company powers and workers right that has been very productive.

Until an ignorant American enters the market and think he knows better than everyone else

VoxPelli··on Swedish court rules against Tesla in dispute with postal service over deliveries
Very true! And I also think a lot of people doesn’t understand how Sweden/Nordics differ from eg France and assumes unions all across Europe works the same.
VoxPelli··on Fairphone 5: Keeping it 10/10?
Well, any serious phone reseller / refurbished only sells phones that are still getting security updates: And this one will get that for a long time.

It’s also going to be real easy for refurbishers to repair these, either by picking parts from other old ones or by buying replacement parts, hence even a slightly broken one may still be worth money.

“The people” being your employees and the society at large who wants to negotiate with you.

Who is blackmailing whom?

VoxPelli··on Swedish court rules against Tesla in dispute with postal service over deliveries
Because in Sweden it’s not the government that micromanages the job market, it’s the industry and the unions that does so together, so paying taxes is irrelevant.
VoxPelli··on Swedish court rules against Tesla in dispute with postal service over deliveries
With the kind of humor that Elon Musk has he should love the Swedish unions, as the Swedish name for union is “fack”, which is pronounced “fuck”

Sounds like something he would like, in addition to his S,3,X,Y range of cars

VoxPelli··on Fairphone 5: Keeping it 10/10?
Yes and no, resell value needs to be acknowledged by people buying them just like people do when they eg buy a car

But you are right, and the government has done so to some degree, but they did it badly and I believe it also affected refurbished phones, making a phone pay for its production emissions over and over

VoxPelli··on Swedish court rules against Tesla in dispute with postal service over deliveries
Only related to transportation of Tesla cars to Sweden, to avoid Tesla trying to circumvent Swedish strikes
VoxPelli··on Swedish court rules against Tesla in dispute with postal service over deliveries
Indeed, and they are lucky that it hasn’t spread to Germany yet, as the Germany unions are even stronger than the Swedish ones and Tesla has a factory there…

That’s cute Go and try that somewhere else where it might work. We don’t need any Tesla / douchemobiles here.
