Ideally, Mozilla would step up here given their mission statement, but they won't, probably because their CEO needs another bonus.

That changed (ahm.. will change) with ipv6. I was surprised to see that I can reach residential ipv6 lan hosts directly from the server. No firewalls, no nat. This remains true even with abusive isps that only give out /64 blocks.

That said, I agree that peer to peer will never be seemless thanks mostly to said abusive isps.

> consumers have already self-selected into ... crappy LLM outputs

Tangent, but last I checked, it was all the big tech giants pushing it down our throat. Unless it's your full time job to find loopholes and workarounds, there is no reasonable way for consumers to opt-out.

New comment by huggingmouth in "Dev reports Intel's laptop CPUs are also suffering from crashing issues"

I wonder if intel can handle a recall of a cpus with this issue.

Recall or not, their handling of this issue has been sub optimal to say the least.

My wake up moment with google was when they accused a parent of being a pedophile, permanently banned their accounts, reported them the police, and then doubled down when they were proven wrong.

Not only due those degenerates have the gal to creep on people, they refuse to admit wrongdoing or make their victems whole.

Sickos. That's what they are. Sickos.

Good for you. Still doesn't answer gp's question. Why do we have to create a central account?

Dji is like samsung; great hardware ruined by owner-hostile software. I will never buy either unless I can load standard open source software on them.

I can't wait for right to repair and similar laws force these delusional companies to actually hand over control of products to their rightful owners.

No, I'm afraid you're way off. Their response was far from efficient. I reported a fault in their interface and they wrote a whole peragraph demeaning me in a passive aggressive manner.

The workaround (to their subpar system) was a single line at the end. Very opposite from German efficiency if you ask me.

That said, I did switch newer deployments to another cloud provider who is more professional, so it really does seem that they do not care about my measly account :-)

Cheers!

With (deserved) increased scrutiny in Huawei and friends, I'm half tempted to get the discarded gear to actually put in production use. China/Huawei is no longer in a position to pull something stupid.

Current gen functioning gear at a discount price will be very tempting.

I sttongly disagree based in my interaction with them. They were very rude. That said, their services are reasonably priced and they have been competent throughout my time with them.

Hetzner would be far more appealing if they ever decide to muzzle their rebid support team.

Lock picking tools are legal and they're primarily used for illegal activities.

The same can be said for gun use (not ownership).

How much something is used for illegal activities should have no baring on whether it is allowed in a free country.

The argument is that somebody already did it. Continuing this nonsense only harms legitimate users.

This wouldn't be as silly a counter argument if there weren't already unrestricted models out there.

Unfortunately, this is a very silly argument. I'm so glad that people like you weren't around when they invented the personal computer.

It's missing webnfc support which means it's not an option for our web based inventory tracking system.

huggingmouth — Sun, 10 Dec 2023 14:54:46 +0000

I stopped using emacs a long while ago but I rely on x11 selection buffers (middle click paste) heavily so i can relate. I'd absolutly be miffed to find a confirmation model dialog shoved between each select and paste operation AND a lack of a setting to revert to the old behavior.

I say implement the old behavior as an option. It's literally a few extra lines of code.

I desperately wish I could use kagi but tying my identity to my searches is an automatic nogo. Is kagi interested in offering a Mulvad-grade option where everything is in ram and NO data is tied to my account?

Kagi, if you're listening. Please.
