So what I’m gathering is I should set aside my wife’s broken pixel phone to use as a low power server.

This article seemed to be partially a pitch for camera-less smart-glasses… which I’m okay with. Camera-less smart glasses would be nice to have. Just give me wearOS for my face.

The one time I’m happy that Toyota was so far behind the competition - I’ve a 2020 Prius and its infotainment looks a decade out of date but that means it’s very offline.

With cryptographic systems like the EU uses, it must go through the government because a 3rd party can’t implement that verification/response pattern without access to the proper gov’t cryptographic secrets.

Honestly? State ID is better than the current solution which is giving Thiel-affiliated companies photo and other data.

Ideally I’d rather have a governments provided digital ID that’s more secure and just gives the company limited metadata instead of full ID info provided from gov’t to company. Put in rules requiring warrants or subpoenas for lookups.

Why wouldn’t they?

It’s not like they face any consequences for being accessory to fraud. Laws are for poor people.

“popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.”

I’ve literally never heard of it.

I was just hoping for interesting tactics and a simple plot, which it delivered at first… but as the game develops it’s as you said, mostly about learning to optimize your grind through exploiting systems that are basically only documented in wikis (what do all the stats and attributes do? Google it.)

Disgaea. I was trying to unlock all the classes and play with some of the monster classes but it was so tedious and slow that after 100 hours I looked up a power leveling guide and found out the optimal play was just to ignore the whole team strategy part of it and grind the main character into space. Dropped it then.

Detecting A. I.

Teenagers aren’t really known for making great decisions.

Source: was once a teenager, made bad decisions.

You’d have to be careful to craft the message in a way that a vision-impaired student would know to ignore it though, since assistive tech like a screenreader would suffer the same flaw. But by making it so outlandish helps.

I already switched my devices to Kubuntu.

A modern-ish datacentre AI GPU is worth well into five figures on eBay. The copper wire and “infrastructure equipment” is small potatoes compared to that. Like 100kg of NVIDIA Tesla GPUs would be worth more than those two whole truckloads.

Just putting up parking fees everywhere - not great.

Honestly, this can be good too. I’ve seen many places where parking is “free” and the end result is that there isn’t any parking available other than expensive private lots. The city is robbing itself then: It’s diverting the revenue from parking into private hands, which also encourages private parking lots which are an urban blight, and making it less convenient and affordable for business customers while a handful of people squat on the free parking all-day every-day.

Everybody would be happier if the street had affordably-priced meters. Everybody except for the people who are using that street-side parking all-day every-day, but those people are basically poaching very limited and valuable land from the municipality.

Annoyed at slow release processes since I want this but I also hate the risk of crapping up my system by adding a new source. It’ll be a dog’s age before I can get it on a stable version of Ubuntu, but I’ve had so much trouble installing big corpo programs I need on anything but Ubuntu stable that I’m afraid to leave it.

Reintroduces, really. Iirc it was originally made for plasma 5 and and was broken by changes in Plasma 6. This is “we fixed the stuff we broke”.

Compromise: mandatory service for young people, wealth taxes on older people who never had to face mandatory service.
