What I would like is a setting kind of like the already-existing safety feature on pixel phones. You set a timer and if you fail to end the timer or respond when it goes off, it calls 911.

Instead, I would set a timer before going through customs and if I don't unlock my phone and disable it within a set time, it initiates a wipe. I think that would be a safer way of doing this than a duress PIN.

We also know fast food, alcohol, etc., are bad for you and yet most people do these things. I wouldn't bet on LLM usage going down due to it anytime soon.

Yup, but the community you build around a project is not.

Ooooo, JMAP support, that's nice.

This is probably a bit niche, but this guy writes about developing and using Darktable and I wish I had a fifth of his knowledge.

Both of these can't be true. Perhaps they're thinking of Ladybird?

A hybrid drive train would have increased the price though, which seems to be a major selling point if this.

I don't think so. If you self-host, you're on your own island and anything you write isn't seen unless you attract people to your domain.

Seems like a missed opportunity.

Maybe. But as a parent, sometimes you have to make sacrifices (or force them to make sacrifices) as otherwise they won't have space grow.

This is a bit of a hand wave, sorry, but if you're okay with a 3 day battery life and want those features, then maybe the pebble is just not the watch you're looking for? I hear good things about the Garmin watches.

I deeply appreciate the battery life personally. Every time I charge it is an opportunity to forget to put it back on. I can go on a long trip and not worry about packing a charger. I can wear it at night to track sleeping more easily. And probably most importantly, with weeks of life, there's basically zero chance of me being surprised at 9am after leaving the house that my watch is about to die in a couple hours.

We used to just do things because it was the right thing to do, or out of pride for what we were making, or sometimes just to be better than the other guy.

That everything has to be about profit is a lot of what's wrong these days. And yes, bitching about this on a YC-owned forum is just as silly as bitching about nerds here, I'm aware.

Fair enough.

I do worry what that will mean for projects such as Linux though. Not that I think it will die or anything, but rather that it will become so fragmented that forward movement ceases.

Maybe for simple one-person projects. We've long since developed methods and models to allow us to make things bigger than ourselves. Linux, SAP, etc. These software projects are not held in the mind of a single developer. But we use structure, rules, and other tools so that the pieces still fit together.

I got a flier in the mail last week, offering a subscription service for ambulance rides. It was the most cyberpunk thing I'd seen personally.

Even the migrations of animals can impact it, although they usually cancel out over the course of a year I think.

It's a tool. Remote attestation isn't "evil" in the same way a knife isn't inherently evil. It's how they're used.

It's not that remote attestation can't be used for good. Obviously it can. It's that there's so many ways we can use it for evil, and given the track the world is on, it's quite obvious it will be.

Why do you feel entitled to navigate to a website you neither own nor pay for via a method the owner expressly forbids?

Your government. Health insurances. A university. Any of the thousands of billionaires on this planet.

It's marketing bullshit. For one, it's like proving a negative; you can't prove to me that humans couldn't have imagined it. Second, humans have already imagined quite a lot of crazy stuff...

Their continued all-star Linux support is worthy of applause.

Exactly my thoughts. This reads to me like a case of the right hand not knowing what the left is doing, and a scape goat being jettisoned to save face afterwards.

The repo wasn't even taken down.

You're being pendantic. Choose whatever symbol you want for "2" and "4". The point is that if you have symbol apples and someone gives you symbol more, than you have an agreed-upon number in total.

And yet my steam deck still plays everything I throw at it. Could I find a Crysis-type game that was basically designed as a GPU torture device that it would struggle with? Obviously. Is there a resolution difference? Yes. But there are a lot of games coming out only asking for moderate specs.

Or Google will call them and ask which automatically updates the data.

That topic at least involves matters of race though? Not saying you're wrong, just that it's perhaps not the best counter-argument.

Can that setup work with android auto? If so, I'll need to try that.

I agree and have moved mostly away from everything Google. But it's hard to replace maps. I know open street maps exists but it's hard to beat Google's data gathering.

I'm torn on the blocking of web browsers. Yeah, they can be used for getting to Facebook or whatever. But they are also used to access 99% of the world's info now. Seems like if you just wanted to block social media, a DNS block or even firewall would be a better option.

Probably makes more sense than putting them in a friggen vacuum.

I think, for this, I'll trust something community verified and not the potential hallucinations of an AI. But we all put our trust in something I suppose. Glad you're clean.
