No, it was a power event localized to one building.

I straight up just live there, can you imagine? Every day!

Of course it's people who don't even live in London who paint completely skewed pictures of the city. It's sad to see how much negative propaganda is being spread to induce fear, uncertainty and doubt. Why are you doing this?

Yes, almost everything you mentioned happens. You're probably going to come across some of it if you spend a bit more time here, and in some areas more than others. But you are exaggerating it all significantly - in reality these things are sporadic nuisances and it is SO far away from "everybody does what the hell they like" (implying lawlessness). Shameful really that you participate in this spread of bullshit about an amazing city.

In Austria this is a called "Urteilsveröffentlichung" ("Judgement Publication"; § 25 UWG). It has commonly been used in cases against ISPs.

Here is such an example (VKI vs A1 Telekom): https://www.lteforum.at/attachments/a1-urteil-jpg.34162/

If we just hadn't centralized control of the inverters to a few (chinese) companies... Great read on the risks to our power infrastructure from remote controlled solar inverters: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/the-gigantic-unregulated-p...

I haven't come around any AI generated imagery in documents / slides that adds any value. It's more the opposite, they stand out like a sore thumb and often even reduce usability since text cannot be copied. Oh and don't get me started on leadership adding random AI generated images to their emails just to show that they use AI.

So they agreed to the same red lines that had earlier led to the fallout with Anthropic? Kind of strange.

What about the N-600 form which the article highlights as an impossible barrier for many immigrants to attain their certificate of citizenship. That isn't hard?

Big difference! That's a full VM, while Termux is more like a Debian container. For most use cases you will have a better time with Termux, which also ships useful Android integrations such as clipboard and notifications.

This is far from the truth in Europe.

They note that the robot achieved an "intermediate" skill level. This has been determined by letting it play matches against people of different skill levels as determined by a professional table tennis coach. The "Results" section explains this.

New comment by push0ret in "Experimental release of GrapheneOS for Pixel 9a"

push0ret — Sun, 13 Apr 2025 05:53:56 +0000

GrapheneOS, in my opinion, can only exist the way they do because of their exclusive support for Pixel devices. It allows them to provide a uniquely high quality ROM with proper support guarantees.

Compare that to other custom ROMs, where you typically depend on volunteers maintaining the various devices. Sometimes people decide to step down, and suddenly find your device unsupported. This happened to me with LineageOS/CyanogenMod.

My understanding is also that the OEM ROMs of Pixel devices are closer to AOSP than those of other vendors like Samsung. This simplifies the maintenance of the ROMs, and enables the project to develop meaningful features instead.

Could you protect against NetFlow analysis by pushing a bunch of noise over the VPN tunnel at all times? I'd assume it would at least make the analysis significantly more challenging.
