<p>I was in this state a few weeks ago. I spent a bit of time familiarizing myself then wrote up my learnings as a series of exercises.<p>If you think of docker as "kinda like vms except not really" and k8s as "kinda like deploying and composing docker containers but not really", this may be for you:<p><a href="https://ojensen.net/infra/understanding-k8s-1" rel="nofollow">https://ojensen.net/infra/understanding-k8s-1</a><p>It's actually really neat, i wish i had bothered to learn it years ago.</p>

<p>the contrast ratio of a black-and-white e-ink screen is significantly better than the contrast ratio of a color e-eink screen when displaying black and white. It's a very noticeable difference between black-and-white vs dark-grey-on-light-grey. The P2D is much more comfortable to read indoors with the backlight off.<p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/Z2Yrkl1.jpeg" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/Z2Yrkl1.jpeg</a></p>

<p>The watch I really want is the Pebble Time 2 with a black-and-white screen.<p>The Pebble Time 2 is a huge step up from the Pebble 2 Duo in almost every conceivable way, but the contrast ratio on the latter is so much better that I still wear the P2D instead of the PT2, and just resign myself to deal with the lower resolution screen and inferior build quality.</p>

<p>Mine (11th gen framework 13) is.<p>I have to keep it in battery saver mode or the fans just spin up when it's idle. They come up anyway (and irregularly) when watching a movie, loud enough to be heard over the movie -- though that may also be partly the fault of the milquetoast speakers that also inexplicably point down (so if you're watching something in bed you'll need to find a hard surface to put it on so that the sound isn't completely muffled).<p>That said, i have a macbook pro for work and macOS infuriates me, i would not trade my framework for any apple device under any circumstances. I love my framework more than any laptop I've ever owned. I just wish the hardware was more polished.</p>

<p>There are no "rules" for responsible disclosure. We have guidelines that we have broadly accepted, but at the end of the day whether or not you discussed responsibly is in the opinion of your peers.<p>There's no such thing as "responsible disclosure on a technicality". Don't be a dick, and work in good faith to keep users safe.</p>

<p>I have no insider information so this is all appreciation, but:<p>When it comes to legislative things, there is pretty much always a timeline in which to become compliant. I do wonder if there was opportunity to give warning etc. but Anthropic decided to perform an immediate full stop deliberately causing the metaphorical three-car pileup, because the more painful for the users, the more pressure from the people there will be on the government to undo this.<p>See also: those painfully annoying cookie banners that are malicious compliance in the most irritating way possible, which GDPR does <i>not</i> require, in order to make people think GDPR is dumb.</p>

<p>There is a vast difference between it not being 100% impossible and data holders not doing the absolute basics to keep it safe.<p>I could imagine if, after a data breach, there was a government-run cyber investigative task force that would come into an organization, and be tasked with investigating and fully understanding the nature of the breach. We already have forensic detectives for other crimes, why not this one?<p>And if it turns out that the failure occurred due to the company acting negligently, a la (whoopsie all the records were in an open S3 bucket) then humans would be found personally liable.<p>--<p>But in principle, i also agree with the other causes you list. These are very much what GDPR was aimed at improving. It really is a shame when you look at what GDPR could have accomplished if not for malicious compliance by American tech giants, and shitty enforcement (instigated by American tech giants)</p>

<p>As Cory Doctorow is fond of saying<p>> The thing that determines whether you’re the product isn’t whether you’re paying for the product: it’s whether market power and regulatory forbearance allow the company to get away with selling you.<p>Or more simply:<p>> Companies don’t make you the product because you don’t pay — they make you the product because you can’t stop them.<p>As far as feature development goes, Meta isn't looking under the couch cushions for change.

<p>I excitedly bought a Framework 12 when it first came out, since I figured it'd be a nice thing to travel with (my typical laptop is the 11th-gen 13). However the 12 has just sat under my bed since it arrived. It's actually the same size and weight as the 13 so there's no real reason to use it when traveling, and everything about the 13 feels better in general. Overall I'm fairly disappointed by the 12.<p>I haven't held a Neo myself, but it seems like a solid device. Personally I would probably go for the Neo.</p>

<p>but why would anybody choose blue? there is no moral benefit to doing so.<p>If you altered the game to say that only some fraction of the population get the choice, and everyone who doesn't get the choice is assumed blue (or, is killed if less than 50% of voters choose blue) then there's some question to be explored here. But at it stands there is literally no reason to choose blue.</p>

<p>Not sure this is the reason but: it is generally not easy to get a satellite over the poles. You launch close to the equator in the direction of Earth's spin to take advantage of the (very substantial!) speed you already have due to the rotation of the planet. Getting from an equatorial orbit to a polar one requires a huge amount of fuel / energy. You can't just sort of "drive it over".<p>Source: played a bunch of Kerbal space program</p>
