if you are not white, are you closer to being a rando, or to being (perceived as) an actual threat?

unconfortable but true

If one person calls the emergency line with an emergency and doesn’t get through because the human dispatchers are currently overwhelmed with non-emergency calls, does that mean the entire current system is failed and someone should go to jail?

I don’t think so, because currently there is no artificial delay. if someone has to be got rid of, that is the person(s) who are keeping the call center short staffed, whoever that is and whatever high up the chain they are

one of the most important factors with emergency services is that there is as little delay as possible. and that starts at the phone call. if everyone is delayed by this screening, and then they’ll maybe get through to a person, it’ll be much less likely that the person calling will be able to even just get assistance in time

because that’s the new hip OS

they are working on it

don’t worry, they didn’t abandon it. they have continued development hidden from sight in the android version of the chromium engine

sounds good, where can we obtain it?

when a large, trump supporter corporation, with its main business being habit and environment tracking based personalized advertising, has so deep access to your phone as it literally builfs the operating system for it, maybe it is indeed already compromised.

I know several people in my community who confidently trust it for search. they are not stupid people… but sometimes I question their choices

that’s not just useless defeatism, but also false. effective end to end encryption exists in multiple forms today.

signal, maybe even with a custom server.
matrix if the server is being ran on trusted hardware.
XMPP too with the right extensions.

LLMs are more like a leaf blower though

and hopefully also elsewhere. as Drew said in the first part, tech workers will be affected by billionaire’s decisions even outside of work, on multiple fronts.

we must eat the rich, or they will eat us all alive.

tbh until reading to the end I thought the embarrassing thing will be the waxing, not the size

wait, did those fuckers pass something like this recently? and where are the news articles about it?

truly a passionate dev

because when you have more than 8 tabs open on a horizontal tab row, the tab handles start to become narrower and tab titles become unreadable and almost useless. with vertical tabs tab titles can be as long as you see fit, and the tab title does not take away space from other tab handles so more can fit. essentially its more space efficient I think.

but I don’t use it because my firefox theme breaks down when I set up vertical tabs, and everything will be white, even though I don’t even use userchrome customizations

tab groups in firefox are surprisingly good! even alongside a tab group management addon. they complement each other, like when you don’t want to create a bunch of subgroups for an exclusive view but just collapse them

it couldn’t be too popular as a windows only project. I assume it was too lite known, like I never even heard about it here or other places

bluetooth is short range isn’t it? so while this is a problem, it is not the exact same thing. network based location is not a replacement for GPS.

Google already uses this with WiFi to help “bootstrap” GPS localization. It is much faster to get a GPS fix if you already know roughly where you are (a few seconds vs a couple minutes), so they use nearby WiFi/Bluetooth devices to determine that.

I think you mean A-GPS, which is not related to wifi and bluetooth, other thqn being able to use wifi to access a server for downloading current constellation data. phones that have google mobile services installed, have an additional fused location source (besides a network based and a gps based location source) that tries to fuse the 2 sources while the gps signal is not precise enough. but as I know fused location computation happens locally
