How about almost anything else? Go, Ocaml, Ada. Haskell, etc ? You might also consider CUDA if your problem naturally parallelizes.

Why rust? It’s trendy but it’s really best for systems work despite the zealots.

Remotely? Sounds like the manufacturers are up to no good as well.

I’ve been using mate, generally happily. I don’t remember what if any issues I had with xfce. I hated gnome.

This is great, they found a use for their pizza sauce that fermented.

I think somewhat worse, but try a web search. One attraction iirc is very fast charging.

It’s just about LFP which are very common now. The new trend is sodium ion instead of lithium ion. CATL (battery manufacturer in China) is shipping those now, and they are starting to appear in some cars.

Oh you mean the discontinuation rather than the accessory itself. Meh, there is always ebay. Someone will always have an extra one left from their old phone before they upgraded to a usb-c phone.

You have to post X events for the keystrokes. I may have some code around that does something similar, lemme look.

Controversial? Unpopular I can understand, but that’s not the same.

I still prefer wired buds and chose a phone with a 3.5mm jack, but I wasn’t into Apple phones to begin with.

Now that Apple is going USB C, the lightning adapter will stop mattering, I guess.

Nordstream redux? I wonder if Hetzner is affected.

You can pay a lot less than 10x for completed panels. https://store.santansolar.com/ amazed me.

Embrace RFC 8890 (“The Internet is for End Users”) as a guiding principle for all Mozilla client app design and for the organization as a whole:

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8890.html

Specifically, delete item 9 from the Mozilla manifesto and replace it with “follow RFC 8890”. That’s not supposed to be an anti-business stance, but rather, a recognition that the commercial side of the internet has the resources to look after its own interests, and Mozilla should be on the user side, rather than trying to straddle both sides.

Maybe Musk can turn X over to Alex Jones, if Jones loses Infowars. X can’t get any worse than it already is, right? Right?

Huh?

I’d consider it unlikely that Google or Apple put anything like that into their phones on purpose, because of the reputational hit if it came out. But, new vulnerabilities are being exploited every day. And don’t forget the need to protect metadata.

Do you know the movie Citizenfour, a documentary about Edward Snowden? During its production, if the filmmakers wanted to discuss something sensitive, they would leave their phones in the office and go outside to have their conversation without them. There still might have been listening devices around, but they did what they could about the phones.

I swear, this place is even stupider than Reddit. Kamala Harris spent a billion dollars literally campaigning against Trump, far more than you did by simply voting against him, but she helped him by running such a terrible campaign. And Biden? Among other things he managed to actually get infected with COVID just in time for his debate with Trump, causing him to throw a cog on nationwide TV. That helped Trump more than anything. If he had just worn an N95 mask, well I can’t guarantee that he would have been re-elected, but he’d have probably avoided infection and done a lot better in the debate. Thanks, Biden.

It’s not false equivalence when they really do both suck! Anyway, have fun under Trump 2.0, courtesy of people like you refusing to acknowledge your leader’s mistakes.

And you downvoted anyway. Silly cultist. 800,000 people dead of Covid under Biden, not a good look.

I think you are rationalizing. Biden and Trump both did terrible at dealing with Covid. OWS was one of the few things done right. It really was something like the moon program. Otherwise you can never credit or blame a politician for anything unless they are the ones personally doing the work. But that’s not what they do.

The alternative to OWS would have been to just let big pharma develop vaccines the usual way, instead of using a lot of approaches in parallel with government funding to get usable ones faster. Of course the protection from those vaccines was then pissed away under both administrations, by doing almost nothing (except during the initial lockdowns) to stop airborne spread of the virus. The Herman Cain Award is one of the most memorable legacies from that.
