Yep, Electronic Frontier Foundation. Key players in Right To Repair in the US. With good history of “fighting for the user”.

Can it run problem bank apps? I need a bank auth app for work as the bank stopped fobs and it just would not run on LineageOS. It refused to run because “the phone is insecure”. I tried Magisk hiding stuff and MicroG, and a number of way of tricking methods. That’s why I ended up on GrapheneOS, as a compromise without feeling too compromised. Everything seams to think it’s on a normal Android phone, but I’ve sandboxed the Google tentacles. But it would be better if mandating OS wasn’t allowed. If I want to run a “insecure” phone, that’s my “problem”.

Just because no one else has said, Adam has been involved in EFF for a long time. EEF Podcast episode with him in it:

Which delights me as he’s more mainstream and so wakes people up to things like the Right To Repair movement.

But super important and not done enough! Disproving something can save humanity such time.

I feel bad buying things DRM’ed, so I very rarely do, and not for myself. I don’t want to fund that. Feels much better funding DRM free work.

You can do it, but you also need to test it all.

Not just ADHD folk. I’ve had programmers like that, swinging from “I can’t do it” to “I don’t need to test that”.

I’m not sure that’s true of TV series. I’m not arguing for monopoly by the way. Exclusives are anticompetitive and that’s bad!

Isn’t that an argument of monopoly by Netflix would be better?

Some of car industry. Some are dumb or corrupt. Then a lot people/consumers just see the range and zero ‘direct’ emissions. They don’t look at cost per mile, total energy efficiency, fuel storage and distribution, etc.

Yep. They don’t understand the down sampling.

Storing offline is great and all, but I hope everyone is storing on multiple disks at multiple locations…

Yer didn’t think so, I’m sure photos are being lost.

Exactly, both end points are blackboxes compromised by Facebook.

Closed app by data mining company, of course they get all the data they can.

Any UTC type is going to do native time and convert for display.

But with native time directly, you can just an int64 with loads of space for fine resolution via multiplication.

Storing time broken up into separate units is crazy.

The only code with timezones should be the bit squishy meat bags touch. Everything’s is should be UNIX time. Or it you are unfortunate enough to be on Windows, NT time.

Some unfortunate programmers already have to deal with the speed of time not being a constant. In a distant future, timestamps might always have a universal position (and speed), and is that much different from timezones?

Or we find some way of removing time distortion of physics. Find the universe’s real systick. 😃

On the PS3 cell processor vector units, any NaN meant zero. Makes life easier if there is errors in the data.

Guake. Has been for years. I am in and out the terminal all the time, so F12 works well for me. Plus I used to play Quake and used the in game terminal to do all kinds of things. Plus I’m an old RISC OS kid and F12 was the key to get the “star line”.

Snap! 😃

Which one was that Passman or Nextcloud? I’ve run two instance of Nextcloud Password and one of Passman, for about the same time, with no issues.

Other people do seam to have issues running Nextcloud in general, but I’ve never had anything but PHP version stuff that is easier fixed. I love Nextcloud!
