Waaaait… double blind?

Or ASS in German 😁

I don’t think so. Other technologies get adapted much, much quicker. I believe there is an underlying issue that makes IPv6 just not as attractive to many people.

At this point I don’t think people will. People want to look at IPs and instantly understand what they mean, identify subnets, etc. IPv6 is good but it was not designed with people in mind. And it’s paying the price. We need a new standard that people feel comfortable with.

When I used LaTeX many years ago, I loved this. Or was practically impossible for to overlook that I had opened a draft version that I didn’t want to send.

I agree, the ecosystem seems to be focusing too much on hype and not enough on a strong and secure foundation. I’m still hoping for the best but I feel must more hopeful towards Linux on mobile devices. They are moving at an excruciatingly slow pace, though. Not enough resources and hands.

I didn’t say they need to rip something out. I didn’t say their current efforts to open up weren’t valid. I specifically said that I don’t know whether it would have made sense to start with reduced requirements.

I just stated that they didn’t “happen” to only support Google. I simply acknowledged how they knew exactly that the standard they were writing would only be matched by one vendor as they were writing it.

Google just happened to be the only company meeting those requirements

I don’t know. They designed the requirements in a way that only Google met them. It didn’t “happen” to meet them after the fact.

It’s like demanding yellow hard hats on a construction site. Sure, they are safe and highly visible. Would it make sense to allow black hard hats as well if it means not locking into a single vendor and try pushing for high vis while having a stronger base? And also working around the issue with a vest? I don’t know the answer to that but it’s clear that they have made a conscious decision to move into the situation that they now find themselves in.

Isn’t graphene having a challenging future because they have vendor locked themselves into pixel phones and said vendor is pulling the rug by not providing drivers going forward?

Just install a panic button. The microphone is not reasonable since there are way less intrusive options available.

The issue isn’t the numbers. The issue is that Musk previously claimed Teslas would retain value and would even gain value with new releases of auto pilot. With these expectations in mind, the numbers must look abyssal to Tesla fans.

No, that’s ridiculous.

This Regulation does not apply to the processing of personal data: […] © by a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity;

As is stated, the call is processed locally in the user’s device. If that holds true, there is no recording and no third party processing going on. Your point does not make sense.

That’s a real world issue. AIs training on each other’s output and devolving because of it. There will be a point when vendors infringing on user content and training their AIs with it will leave them worse off.

It’s easy to train a model to do exactly what you want and have the seeming “personality” that you want. It’s just incredibly expensive. You need to vet and filter everything that you use to train the model. That’s a lot of person hours, days, years. The only reason the models act the way they do is because of the data that went in to train them. If you try and fit the model after the fact, it will always be imperfect and more or less easy to break out of those restrictions.

To be fair, the Android permission system is crap. I have an app to automate certain things. It requests only the exact permissions required for the actions I have configured. All I want to do is enable auto-rotate if a certain app is in the foreground and set portrait mode otherwise. In order to do that, the app needs full screen reader access and can theoretically see everything that’s on the screen. That said, I personally don’t believe the Messenger app was well intentioned. But if it were, it may not have a choice but to request these permissisions for legitimate use cases.

Also, revolt self hosting is broken. The web call functionality (WebRTC) is being rewritten but that effort is stale and out of the box it simply does not work. There is no real documentation about this either. It just won’t work and you need to invest a lot of effort to figure out why. The moment self hosting properly works, I’ll give it another shot. Not being able to connect without a fat client is a show stopper for me. There’s no way I can get enough traction for my groups if the barrier to switch is higher than a sheet of paper.

When self hosting all the shortcomings you mentioned are perfectly acceptable for me.

If you use much of the software that is included in the support package, then the price seems reasonable. No way you could get the same price if you went to each provider individually. If all you use is bare bones openshift, then you’re right.

Don’t shoot the messenger. The regulations are pretty draconic. I have to ensure the training for that every year.

As a software dev myself: if time in your application’s internals jumps on DST, something has been implemented incorrectly. That’s what zone information is for, to make times uniquely identifiable and timers run the correct length. Getting the implementation right is hard, though. So, abolishing DST is very well worth it.
