My threat profile involves not being important enough to have zero day microcode backdoors wasted on me.

So physical access is indeed root access? I for one am shocked.

He basically only makes “why everyone except me is wrong about X” content now, and it’s super smug and obnoxious.

Just to add that proper mesh systems are distinct from extenders as they will use separate mesh channels for back haul. They also have the “travel AP” things which act as extenders but form a new network on a different channel. You can actually do this with many Android phones as well.

Yes you literally need to bring wipes around with you. Things are slowly changing but for a long time there was no TP in any bathroom stall outside of fancy hotels and maybe high end restaurants.

I’ve been to China many times, and this is arguably the least offensive TP situation.

The implication is that it’s operating as a general purpose mobile botnet of sorts, and there is likely someone out there selling services on it. It seems like someone was using it for swatting (which is how they found it), and others may have been using it for spam and forum bots. The narrative that it was specifically a tool for attacking cellular infrastructure is a bit misleading. It might have been useful for that but as far as well know it was never used that way.

We saw a massive, concerted “don’t vote, bot sides are the same” effort in Lemmy. It was incredibly obvious and shocking that some people still deny it.

It’s even worse on Lemmy because there are fewer users and the amount of data which can be gotten from things like vote data is super valuable.

I am pretty convinced that a non-trivial portion of .ml users are information warfare trainees who get trained on Lemmy before being moved over the Facebook and reddit.

This depends heavily where you are. In urban areas the one day and overnight options have expanded quite a bit, but seemingly at the expense of rural two day options.

No they are keeping the family plan but shutting down the non household sharing. Now it is “one additional adult and four kids.”

Yes you could likely design an optimized modulation scheme to do this, likely some kind of bird specific frequency shift keying. You can also do any kind of quadrature modulation in the audio spectrum (original dialup used acoustic modems).

This person just didn’t do that in this case. It’s still a very cool experiment by YouTube maker standards though.

The point is that at the physical layer you still have a well defined log likelihood test to produce digital information. That’s why QAM lasted so long even though it is not power efficient - because it has an analytical likelihood function.

This is the boundary between digital and analog communications. Since he did not use a digital modulation scheme, this would be a form of analog comms

Nah, it’s good that they ripped off that bandaid. Parasocial AI relationships are terrible.

You joke but post scarcity anarchism is probably the only truly viable post capitalist society where the state actually has a real chance of withering away. That means good praxis is anything which reduces scarcity - both in the form of technological developments and sustainability/ecology. And yes, harm reduction measures which foster collaboration and social cohesion and create actualized humans with real agency and a real stake in their own communities.

The problem with so much leftist thought is precisely that it denies agency to those it seeks to liberate. “Luxury gay space communism” is a meme, but it’s based on a post-left idea which is actually far more rooted in reality than a lot of ML orthodoxy.

Yes basically all of our machines are Linux.

Nihilism isn’t really a philosophy as much as it’s an absence of philosophy. The idea of that creating a kind of random deviant behavior isn’t really that unusual. There’s lots of different kinds of nihilism as well. You can say someone is linguistic nihilist if they twist words to mean whatever suits their other interests. You can say someone is a meta-ethical nihilist if they reject the idea of global moral truth but still adhere to a localized moral behavior. You can call someone a metaphysical nihilist if they are unconcerned with the nature of their own being but still don’t want to get hit in the mouth.

You don’t get it. They will just force VPNs to black list sites. Business users will happily do it because they don’t care about porn anyway. Any VPN which doesn’t enforce UK laws will be blocked at the ISP level.

Not really sure how you read my comment as “shitting” on anyone. I’m just commenting that it’s unexpected and unusual for a FOSS dev to not be Linux user. Idc what they do, just making the observation as someone involved in the FOSS space that most of my peers are more likely to shit on windows than Linux.

I just cannot wrap my head around an emulator dev who isn’t daily driving Linux…

Damn people are really misunderstanding this comment. Legitimately just don’t know anyone who is involved in FOSS projects who doesn’t primarily use Linux. Not really passing judgement here, just making an observation.
