i guess they're in relatively separate spaces? that's how it's like in my local area in the UK

I'm finding that libraries in the UK outside of big cities are resembling those in the article, just nowhere near as popular, and with a more pedestrian book selection

Xcancel helps people migrate away from X, or simply stay outside of it. The fact that X is trying to shut them down, plus the fact that they silo replies and interactions in the first place, should be a good hint that X themselves don't regard that degree of openness to work in their favour.

It's pretty much the standard to either soft-block or hard- block access into silos. Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, Tiktok, etc ... all do it. Of course it's an openly anti-consumer practice, but it's one they get away with when they're big enough to flip the service burden to the client.

They have always been spivs. Their entire business model is dishonest and predatory.

yea but that's clear from the context

we use "going to Europe" and "going to the continent" fully aware that the UK is in Europe

which is obviously getting progressively reduced for the things that matter and more things moved to different forms of majority, and for good reasons too because the EU is already dysfunctional enough as is

their voting power would be essentially zero and the policy opt-ins very significant

no doubt in my mind I'd vote no in their place

I think it would be a grave mistake for them to join. They would lose all bargaining power right away and they'd be joining a very dysfunctional EU.

yep, maybe when they're not 800kg devices that need to stay solidly in place under the forces you experience in a car

this system does work for mopeds in Taiwan though (Gogoro)

muyuu — Sun, 16 Aug 2026 22:52:40 +0000

the main problem with RISC-V is also the main selling point: there is no single owner company behind steering development and making sweeping decisions

how will that pan out over the long term is really unclear and the reality is performance is actually catching up quickly

Sleep is considerably more fragile with age, regardless of what you do.

muyuu — Sun, 26 Jul 2026 18:10:50 +0000

yep, human bias makes 4-digit pins and patterns a lot worse than the theoretical entropy, but still it's a decent starting point

my comment was about the decision of that person who deleted the comment to go for the pattern lock, while/because? 16 chars was supposedly bad for the password (although he/she has a point in that the limitation is annoying and counterproductive)

all of this i reckon was not criticism of GrapheneOS but stock Android, AFAIK grapheneOS's choices are all very sound

muyuu — Sun, 26 Jul 2026 12:00:12 +0000

nope it was arguing that this is a difference with stock android and that it is 16 chars there, idk about that though
