Yeah, I don’t see why the practice would be any different apart from someone having to account for the deaths since they were Israeli citizens and they happened before too many witnesses in this instance.
Note that Jerboa 0.50 which is still the latest in the Play Store is broken with Lemmy 0.19. The newly released 0.53 should work but it’s not on the stores yet.
Suggestion:
Check that the compatible Jerboa version is on the Play Store before upgrading Lemmy. That way non-technical users like my wife won’t see breakage. Or alternatively upgrade several days after the official Lemmy release.
I’d just delay the update for a few days up to a week. That would give a chance for most maintained apps to release updates via their respective channels. Then I wouldn’t have to care and check for specific apps.
Importantly, the signatures of the F-Droid build is different than the one from Github, is different than the one for the Play Store. As a result, you can’t update an app installed from one of these sources with a build from another. 😮💨
Parent comment is right. The body of documentation generated for Ubuntu by the community is an enormous asset. It’s one of the important side effects of it being the most used distro.
This is not 2005 when the vast majority’s experience with interactive UX on a screen was Windows. People today operate Android, iOS much more so than Windows. Thus they are able to grok multiple OS chrome paradigms without much difficulty. And then the OS chrome is rather simple and therefore learning it doesn’t cost much or yield significant benefits should you have gotten that knowledge for free. Therefore the argument for choosing an OS based on its chrome is as shallow as the chrome itself. The difficult stuff is things not working due to defects (bugs), finding solutions and implementing them and that’s where the OS choice yields the highest benefit. On that front few options beat Ubuntu LTS other than perhaps Debian, but Debian isn’t novice-friendly.
It’s been pretty good here for a couple of months. The ability to rank up/down, block/pin sources is a really good feature. When it fails, there’s always !g.
Can you recommend a Bluetooth dongle that support s version 5.3, not too terribly expensive and available in Europe? Preferably works out of the box on Ubuntu LTS, but compiling my own kernel is also acceptable....
I don’t know what’s available in Europe, but I’ve used Pluggable and StarTech dongles. They both work fine with Ubuntu without configuration. One of them is a Class 1 device, the other one Class 2. The Class 1 receiver has much better range and better connection stability. So the only useful thing I have to say is - look for a Class 1 receiver if you want the best range possible.
There are things that could happen on the system which will dismiss notifications. If an app wants to keep notifying the user, it should have a notification management function that keeps track of its notifications and re-notifies when needed. Using a magic flag that may have prevented some types of dismissal is not super robust. E.g. if the app crashes or is force-stopped by the user or by the system, its notifications are dismissed. Upon restart, scheduled or user-initiated it should re-notify if it wants to keep the user aware of these notifications.
As for the reasoning, I’m suspecting there’s been abuse by apps and complaints by users.
If I understand the explanation for how static is generated, it happens within the grind chamber, during fracture as well as during rubbing of particles. If that’s the case then ionizer before it wouldn’t help much. Rather if there’s a way to make an ionizer within the chamber itself, perhaps using the burrs themselves might produce a similar result as what the paper demonstrated.
I measured the spray output of my sprayer by spraying 80 times, measuring the sprayer weight difference and doing some division. Then I tested 20μL/g RDT and saw an increase of brew time from 26s to 30s. A single-person blind (not me) test anecdote shows the RDT shot has “more flavor.”
In my opinion, this is some fallacious bullshit. Consumerist culture did not spring up out of nowhere. It’s a direct result of the variable the current capitalist system optimizes for - maximizing profit. It’s a success story by these measurements. How is the author expecting for this change to happen when the system literally optimizes against it? Even if a cultural shift appears despite that, how long would it endure under the campaign against it that will inevitably occur due to the incentives in the system? Within the current capitalist system we don’t even have the democratic power to effect any significant change to the system. Capital controls decisions in the corporation. Capital also controls a significant chunk of the democratic power in the political system. The only (somewhat) peaceful strategy that I’m aware of which has been shown to produce a significant enough counterbalance to capital that can affect political, economic and therefore environmental change is labor organization. Unions can provide the equivalent lobbying power to corporate lobbying, but on behalf of the majority. Of course it’s also been shown that capital can destroy unions if labor organization isn’t ubiquitous and robust enough. However that happens on the scale of decades which demonstrates the relative durability of the strategy.
TL;DR:
If you want to change the system in any meaningful way, away from consumerism, from profit maximization, from climate destruction, unionize and/or support the ones who can and do. A cultural change on individual basis that meaningfully affects the system is exceedingly unlikely if not impossible in the long run.
There’s no public debt crisis. People don’t understand how government debt works. One casualty of this is the slow green transition which will cost us dearly in the future.
I developed this intuition for myself that I think kinda works. I think of govt debt a bit like stock investment in a large corporation. People “put money” in it because they believe it delivers returns and will keep delivering returns. And as you said, this is actually much easier for the government to do than a corporation as simply the fact of releasing the money into the economy generates returns. So instead of thinking about the size of the debt, one should be thinking about the ability of the government to function well. Ironically, it seems like this is also the way the market looks at it. It keeps throwing money at it and it only knocked off its credit rating due to the threat of dysfunction around the debt ceiling.
I love this! Not only for the comedic value, but throwing kernel oopses on-screen when they can’t be easily captured when unprepared would be of great help in solving system problems. Unlike the cryptic messages Windows displays, Linux kernel messages are quite useful.
Well sure, a 5 year old phone will lose most of these performance comparisons against modern phones, but will it lose badly enough for consumers to care?
I’ll extend that to parts support. Beyond accidents, batteries in typical daily use wear out beyond usable after 3-4 years. So vendor software and parts support.

The money makes it to Canada. In the worst case scenario it gets to Canadian shareholders. With the framework in place, if tomorrow CP24 gets separated from Bell Media, a part of this money will go to CP24 instead of Bell. Also you don’t have to pretend that all Canadian media is owned by ROBeLUS. It won’t make it true and it doesn’t change the fact that this is compensation for Canadian labor which created wealth for an American corporation.
Unless you make your host OS read-only, it itself will keep writing while running your docker containers. Furthermore slapping read-only in a docker container won’t make the OS you’re running in it able to run correctly with an RO root fs. The OS must be able to run with an RO root fs to begin with. Which is the same problem you need to solve for the host OS. So you see, it’s the same problem and docker doesn’t solve it. It’s certainly possible to make an Linux OS that runs on an RO root fs and that’s what you need to focus on.
We estimate that by 2025, Signal will require approximately $50 million dollars a year to operate—and this is very lean compared to other popular messaging apps that don’t respect your privacy.
You’re not wrong. Federation would have higher costs but distributed over more people. Even with pure P2P a-la BitTorrent things might not be significantly cheaper because you’d likely still need to host authentication centrally or federally. You’d only eliminate the message bandwidth costs.
The thing is, we already have a way to distribute the costs - people subscribe to support Signal. Some pay more, others less. Whether I run a node that serves 100 people or subscribe for $10/month, it’s somewhat equivalent. So the practical takeaway should be - if you want for Signal to keep signalling - subscribe if you can afford it.

There are clever ways to split software via different abstractions that allow to avoid some license features from affecting future developments too. That is to add new closed source features without relicensing the existing codebase.
Some folks seem to forget this feature of open source when it comes to projects like Chromium. History has plenty of examples of forks of small and large projects. Chromium (Blink) itself is one.
