I’m using this now but it does disturb me that it is playing below the bridge.
Have an upvote.

Very easy - as long as your router is on the table of hardware.

3 years of optimism in the case of Australia.

How did teen vogue become a beacon of journalistic excellence?

Big agree from me. You just forgot to take my pathological laziness & procrastination into account.
At least this way I have the option. With apple its the walled garden. What other choices are out there? (not including dumb phones)

Edit: punctuation

Plenty.
TBH I got a pixel, then life got in the way before installing GrapheneOS.

I have very mixed feelings about androids crash detection. The personal privacy is fine but - fucking google.

The other one they do is “never leaving the tent”
I have been in that many discuusions where someone just has to have the last word, their posts getting longer & longer but making more or less the same point.
It feels like arguing with a LLM.

The all caps get me every time. Just take your damn upvote.

Absolutely. It really blurs the line between fancy autocorrect, mechanical turk & apocolyptic AGI. We can only guess we are somewhere between 1 & 2.

I cant wait till we start seeing them with all the conspicacy-nut writing all over them but the other way around:
Vaccines work, fuck musk, lgbt rights are himan rights etc.

Just make sure you dont use sub-standard copper. Future generations thank you

Asianomics did an awesome video on the technology that China is going with for EUV. Not better or worse, it just has different issues.

Getting an endmill with a dessicant package:
It said not to eat the dessicant so the rest should be ok, right?

I can only hope my bingo card somehow explodes & kills me.

PS: The level of actual violence isn’t relevant to any of this. A dictator, or a government, that is in full control only need the threat of violence.

That’s why a rules based system is also needed.
Police in Finland also have guns (I assume) but they the rules they follow are the written law, not what the “boss” says.
People will always self organise. If we don’t have a formal representative democracy with all its quirky conventions (like not having the opposition assassinated) we end up with mob rule or tyranny. That might protect some but, in my opinion, allows less freedom for ordinary people.

Slavery is illegal?
I know there are failures everywhere (eg American prison system) but without the threat of state sponsored violence and a rules based system we get the worst kind of corruption.
I’d rather live in Finland than Russia.
