With only a phone, an app, and a radio you get a radio!

I have not seen quadlets before, that’s really neat.

Yes he sent a damn signed contract.

Yeah, I was shocked to see it pop up in my mastodon feed this morning. After denying several FOIA requests I figured they’d keep it buried out of spite.

From the linked discussion it looks like there’s a new feature rolling out where mods can activate “automatic ban evasion protection” during a ban. Mods don’t get given any additional info about the user but it gets set up automatically on the back end.

I have the exact same setup. It works perfectly and integrates really well into home assistant if that’s your thing. Getting a coral TPU also makes object detection really easy even on low power hardware.

The concept as I understand it is that Threads has the sheer volume of content to completely drown out the existing Fedi content if it fully opens the floodgates. If that occurs and say 90% of content becomes Threads and then they start making Threads only extensions to Activity Pub, servers will have to start patching those in and the Activity Pub project is defacto owned by Meta.

People also have issues with the Meta content moderation and the population on Threads, but as you noted that’s fixable on an individual and community level. The existential threat to the future of the Fediverse is why servers should defederate. Meta can’t and shouldn’t be trusted with any amount of power over this community project.

It’s a specter with a heart bleed.

I tried for a while fighting in my local facebook groups, but it just served to make me mad and didn’t put a dent in the constant barrage of nonsense. I started blocking them all and finally just stopped using facebook entirely.

It’s sad since those are really the only online groups for my town. I just have no interest in engaging in the local community now.

Just…one…more…lane…

The helicopter example sounds like it would make for a great What If?. There’s so many good things in there I want answered.

The prime minister went to the scene to talk to reporters, they certainly seem to consider it a big deal.

They sold laptops with this feature at one time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5M0TwnkWUM&list=PLec1d3OBbZ8IBeFODHXLy0m0okuZhqJnT

And if you overthrew the ruling class, you’d still want to know how the new system was affecting various demographics. All systems have biases and the only way to account for them is to know about them.

These types of figures are still important to know. You want to see if certain populations are being affected disproportionately and have a baseline to work from when seeing how policy changes are working.

If you make a policy change and see recovery overall but you’re still getting 52% of Latinos reporting insecurity, you’ve done something wrong and you have data to back it up.

You misread. They mean a thicker layer of polymerized oils building up would produce a “cast iron pan” effect on the granite. A layer reminiscent of what people try to achieve on well seasoned cast iron.

Assholes think everyone is ignoring them because they don’t mince words, but actually everyone ignores them because they’re not as smart as they think they are.

The structure of their ownership is public knowledge and available to anyone looking to purchase. That pretty much covers them in the US. Zuckerberg has a somewhat similar deal with meta.

TMDB has a pretty good one. https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/intro/getting-started

As I understand it, NAT is a firewall with only a very basic configuration: allow all outbound and accept only established inbound. If you don’t expect to have any incoming connections and completely trust all your internal devices then its good enough.

However, if you start wanting to port forward for servers (SSH, FTP, video games) you need to poke holes in the NAT firewall and it has no additional configuration options to help you. The same goes for if you have internal (ex. IoT) devices that you don’t necessarily trust, there are no rules to block outbound traffic.
