Polish Hackers Repaired Trains the Manufacturer Artificially Bricked. Now The Train Company Is Threatening Them (www.404media.co)

In one of the coolest and more outrageous repair stories in quite some time, three white-hat hackers helped a regional rail company in southwest Poland unbrick a train that had been artificially rendered inoperable by the train’s manufacturer after an independent maintenance company worked on it. The train’s manufacturer is...

kilgore_trout,

With the difference that a government agency is operating these trains and that repairs are not cheap.

kilgore_trout,

The right to repair proposal will sure have a list of exemptions, not to hurt the feelings of big commercial conglomerates.

kilgore_trout,

You probably shower with too hot water

kilgore_trout,

Seneca was bathing in the river all year long.

kilgore_trout,

If you didn’t agree to it beforehand, that can be an unpleasant experience and possibly break your relationship.

kilgore_trout,

Why not? Most humans are reliable and it’s hard to find hiking partners.

kilgore_trout,

I understand, it is really scary.

kilgore_trout,

BVG is acronym for Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe, Berlin’s public transport agency.

kilgore_trout,

They will just park in smaller parking spots.

kilgore_trout,

Does it matter for your enjoyment of humour? This seems a general issue, not a left v. right.

kilgore_trout,

You can appreciate humour even without knowing if it’s a left or right meme

kilgore_trout,

Please tell

kilgore_trout,

The point of non-free licensed software is that you cannot improve it.

kilgore_trout,

I love you.

kilgore_trout,

Qt6 alone solves a lot of issues. I hope it will be a smooth release.

kilgore_trout,

The original poster is the one using words such as “subhuman trash”.

I believe this post should be removed.

kilgore_trout,

I switched to TB from webmail 1 year ago and it’s great.

There you go.

kilgore_trout,

Some parts are now signed and can be associated to the device by Apple alone, so that third-party repair parts or even replaced official parts don’t work if the repair is not done by Apple.

kilgore_trout,

It’s become a cancer

kilgore_trout,

This is why KDE has been focusing on hardware vendors for a while.

kilgore_trout,

Almost every Windows user will tell you that Windows sucks

Lemmy Development Update 2023-09-22

Some years ago we used to post weekly development updates to let the community know what we are working on. For some reason we stopped posting these updates, but now we want to continue giving you information every two weeks about the recent development progress. This should allow average users to keep up with development,...

kilgore_trout,

To me what you are asking for makes no sense.

kilgore_trout,

Because Synapse is already widely used. The Matrix foundation is also building Dendrite, which is in beta and written in Go.

Conduit is another server, in Rust gitlab.com/famedly/conduit

kilgore_trout,

I have never heard.

kilgore_trout,

Have you considered that the perspective may be driven by the former being the protagonist, while the latter is not?

kilgore_trout,

Do you have any examples?

kilgore_trout,

You explicitly mentioned an ongoing history of female characters treated unfairly compared to their male counterparts.

The minimum you should be able to provide is a female character and its male counterpart.

If I search on Google “women’s rights” I don’t find that.

kilgore_trout,

German Lower Saxony recently halted developments of a hydrogen locomotive fleet, arguing that electric battery ones are cheaper to operate qz.com/the-dream-of-the-first-hydrogen-rail-netwo…

Nonetheless, Alstom and Siemens remain fixed on the production of hydrogen-fueled trains news.europawire.eu/…/121944/

Hyprland is a toxic community (drewdevault.com)

Hyprland is an open source Wayland compositor based on wlroots, a project I started back in 2017 to make it easier to build good Wayland compositors. It’s a project which is loved by its users for its emphasis on customization and “eye candy” – beautiful graphics and animations, each configuration tailored to the unique...

kilgore_trout,

Take every opinion from Drew DeVault with a grain of salt.

kilgore_trout,

Please teach us how the world works.

kilgore_trout,

They need to earn money somehow, and the deal with Microsoft is the least privacy-invasive option they found.

I suggest overall to use SearxNG, but Qwant isn’t bad.

kilgore_trout,

Leaving out all other conspiracy theories, since I may agree with some of them, the claim that the moon landing was staged strikes me as mindblowing over everything else. You just need to look at the Moon wath a telescope to disprove it, no need to believe to any scientist.

kilgore_trout,

I still disagree. Arbiters of factual information can’t be companies, and can’t be governments. Currently we don’t have a proper arbiter; I would argue that finding one isn’t “hard”, it’s straight-out impossible.

On the same line, who is it up to to decide what does it mean to pursue true knowledge?

I strongly believe that censorship is not the answer- it’s not the answer to anything. Let’s say you are in a circle of strangers, and one of them starts shouting to the others that you did something horrible. The solution to this problem is not to kill him, but to present a different source of information that can stand more stable than is (ex: I wasn’t there at that time, I have history of not doing that kind of stuff, you claim this for your own gain, …).

The solution to ignorance is not to shut down dissident opinions or theories, as flawed or dangerous as they may be, but to be open to educate.

In this specific instance pertaining to search engines, the correct way to make misinformation available would be to provide appropriate disclaimers with reputable and independent sources, not to censor.

kilgore_trout,

You can enable the built-in feature in about:config with browser.translations.enable

kilgore_trout,

Yes.

kilgore_trout,

Armored Core VI and Baldur’s Gate III are two big recently published games that do work quite well. They stand on the shoulders of two respectable companies.

kilgore_trout,

I doubt we have public stats for 4chan

My reddit web viewer still works! Story: When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I uploaded a web viewer I have been using for myself to Github pages for everyone to use... (rdx.overdevs.com)

I posted about that here and forgot < lemmy.world/post/896361> but today when I checked cloudflare analytics it showed about 1000 pageviews in last 24 hours. Looks like some people are using it so just wanted to let you guys know that it works, no ads. no popups nothing.

kilgore_trout,

What is it missing?

kilgore_trout,

I wouldn’t know if it’s an original post because I don’t use Reddit.

kilgore_trout,

There is only one bridge entering the city from the mainland

kilgore_trout,

The fee will be imposed also on Italian citizens, so doesn’t impact at all the right to free movement inside the EU.

kilgore_trout,

This isn’t about you.

kilgore_trout,

Almost no one lives in Venice anymore. The residents ran away because of the tourists already, mostly in the nearby city Mestre.

kilgore_trout,

Italian citizens are subject to the fee as well.

kilgore_trout,

It’s how Google rolls out new features all the time.

First they ask you. Then it will become a opt-out flag. Then maintaining the switch option will be too much work and it will disappear.

Honestly what should concern you is that this is the way Chrome is going, not that you are allowed to enjoy it your own way for a little while more.

kilgore_trout,

Those work on Firefox.

kilgore_trout,

You should too.
