Big +1 for Sync.

I was paying for Sync back when it was a Reddit client, and I moved to Lemmy mostly because that is where Sync moved.

It’s an awesome app. Best app purchase I’ve ever made. (There is a free version too.)

So they tried to open a research center to steal Chinese talent (that has since been closed) and they released the Google Translate app on the Xiaomi store…

That’s not the same as supporting the CCP and the Uyghur genocide.

What are you talking about?

Google doesn’t operate in China, much less do work for the CCP.

“Getting fired felt like a possibility but never a reality,”

They took over an executive’s office and a cafeteria. Not knowing that you’d be fired as a result is a severe lack of judgement.

Protests are important. But you have to understand that there will be consequences for your actions. Embrace that going in.

Saying that you didn’t think they’d actually fire you comes off as childish.

That’s exactly what I’m hinting at.

My hypothesis is that this is, in fact, the case.

Maybe the reps aren’t thinking this deliberately, but I suppose some in R strategy has realized this. They can tell the reps something simple like “FEMA response is likely to be bad for us in the election,” and the reps can be willfully ignorant, refusing to consider the consequences of their inaction.

Low voter turnout benefits Republicans.

It’s easier to prevent people from voting against you than it is to convert people to vote for you.

The game plan is to ensure chaos continues for the next few weeks until the election, in the hopes that people will be too busy trying to survive than to vote.

I think the reason Zealandia is called a “submerged continent” is because it is made of continental crust rather than oceanic crust.

But IMO the best geologic definition of continents is by tectonic plates, which mostly matches up with the cultural definitions of the continents.

For the major continents, we have these plates:

• North American
• South American
• Eurasian
• African
• Australian
• Antarctic

There are several smaller plates too, like the Caribbean, Indian, and Arabian plates. IMO, we should consider these independent continents.

There is also a dedicated Pacific plate. The ring of fire is the border of this plate.

New Zealand / Zealandia is on the ring of fire. Half on the Australian plate, half on the Pacific plate. You can actually see the border of the two plates when you look at the topographical map of Zealandia.

You’re using the New York Times to support the idea that the New York Times didn’t support the war.

What do you think could be an issue with using that evidence?

Nothing? It’s literally the primary source.

Did NYT support the war? Let’s look at the opinion pieces they published about the war.

My money is on cousin Greg to take over.

I saw it at the MoMA in NYC. The thing is tiny…

Part of it is the community. I really like the OpenWRT community, but it’s harder to engage with them when you run a downstream distribution.

But also I’m a bit of a hacker (in the traditional sense). I like to experiment with custom builds of OpenWRT. (And FWIW, their build system uses the same menuconfig as Linux.)

I love my Turris Omnia!

I got the one with the WiFi 6 card. The cool thing is that you can easily open it up and replace parts.

I run the upstream OpenWRT rather than the customized version by Turris. They are good about submitting patches upstream.

+1

From an order of magnitude perspective, the max is terabytes. No “normal” users are dealing with petabytes. And if you are dealing with petabytes, you’re not using some random poster’s program from reddit.

For a concrete cap, I’d say 256 tebibytes…

I think they’re just stopping operations of the company in Brazil.

But I don’t think they’re going out of the way to prevent Brazilian IPs from connecting.

Tell me you’ve never worked on a farm without telling me that you’ve never worked on a farm.

The thumbnail photo is extreme, yes. But white farm workers still get sunburns.

TL;DR - We can now control swappiness per cgroup instead of just globally. This is something that userspace oom killers will want to use.

You don’t need to provide root access just because you used GPL code, you just have to follow the GPL.

Well, to follow version 3 of the GPL, you do actually need to provide effective root access.

Specifically, version 3 of the GPL adds language to prevent Tivoization.

It’s not enough to just provide the user with the code. The user is entitled to the freedom to modify that code and to use their modifications.

In other words, in addition to providing access to the source code, you must actually provide a mechanism to allow the user to change the code on the device.

The name “Tivoization” comes from the practice of the company TiVo, which sold set-top boxes based on GPL code, but employed DRM to prevent the user from applying custom patches. V3 of the GPL remedies this bug.

For Zulip, I’ve only used it on the web. Apparently they have iOS, Android, Desktop, and Terminal clients.

For Matrix, there are many clients on all platforms, but none have ever stood out to me. Element is the official client, and it’s… fine I guess.

I love this, especially the criticism of the FSF.

For coms, Zulip seems OK. I would really like Matrix to take off, but I honestly don’t really like any of the clients.
