Every app does not need to check your birth date. An app will be able to query if the user is within one of a few broad ranges of age (e.g. under 18), but an app only has to do that if it needs to comply with some other legislation.

The California law essentially allows a parent to create a child account on a device and gives a way for apps to query it.

I’m not sure what PH is asking for, but it doesn’t sound like the same thing.

The California law doesn’t require age verification, just a setting on the account that e.g. a parent can set. It’s still stupid, but it’s not what apple is supposedly doing here.

I just finished Normal People, which was my first Sally Rooney book. I loved it, but I wouldn’t say it had a lot of political theory, just light commentary by the characters. I take it you recommend Beautiful World?

I’m currently reading The Bricks That Built the Houses by Kae Tempest. It might be a good candidate, but I’m not far enough through to really recommend it yet.

Some that come to mind:

• Han Kang - We Do Not Part or Human Acts
• Michael Ondaatje - In the Skin of a Lion or Anil’s Ghost
• James Baldwin - Another Country

It obviously won’t work for everyone, but for remote access I’ve been very impressed with waypipe. I use it to pull windows from headless machines onto my main workstation, like X forwarding.

I’d like something for persistence, like wprs, but it’s not quite there yet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Safety_Amendment#Platforms_affected https://www.esafety.gov.au/about-us/industry-regulation/social-media-age-restrictions/which-platforms-are-age-restricted

eSafety does not have a formal role in declaring which services are age-restricted social media platforms. In the absence of any rules made by the Minister of Communications specifying a service is either an age-restricted social media platform or not an age-restricted social media platform, any determination that a service is or is not an age-restricted social media platform is a matter for the court.

Services which do not currently meet the definition of ‘age-restricted social media platform’ should routinely self-assess, including when introducing a new social feature or function or when observing changes in the ways existing and new account holders are using their service.

So technically they need to self-assess based on the legislation, but based on the published lists I really doubt they have anything to worry about.

There’s still a few of us out here using ROPs and texture units

I try to use firejail on nixos when I can’t do something in the build sandbox.

It’s painful, and I’m always on the lookout for something better. I’d at least like a portal-ish system where I can easily add things to a sandbox while it’s running.

Edit: if anyone has any issues or discussions about this I’d like to contribute.

I thought I saw it as far back as simcopter

Strange, I’ve never seen that. Have you rebooted the system to make sure it has nothing to do with open files?

I did find one thread that seems related:

btdu is an excellent tool for finding out what’s taking up space in btrfs

Sorry for the duplicate replies. Lemmy server drama…

That’s a tricky one if you’re getting no info from the kernel. I think the reply above about system instability under load sounds promising. Throttling things down to test seems like a good idea.

Were you running dmesg on another screen or over ssh or something? I’d look in journalctl -b-1 after a reboot.

Is it completely frozen or does it respond to pings etc?

Unfortunately X forwarding doesn’t work (as far as I can tell) with vulkan.

What I’ve been doing is using waypipe (which seems very stable), with xwayland-satellite (which is not so stable) on the remote end.

I’d also love persistent sessions, so I’ve been following wprs, but it doesn’t seem to support GPU drawing at all.

Lots of interesting tech, but it’s still pretty immature.

export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1

Like with X it’s not guaranteed to be that value, but same idea.

Doesn’t fdroid build everything from source (in the main repo)? There’s no way Google would allow them to do that with their own developer keys.

What constitutes proof? What kinds of questions can you answer with data? When do we consider a pattern of behavior to represent the existence of some entity?

Any recommended reading for someone who’s never formally studied philosophy?

It’s actually possible in a way:

But you necessarily need to limit the devices and operating systems that are allowed. No custom ROMs, no root access, etc.

It’s bullshit and breaks open computing as a concept.
