And here I am trying to make those same notifications work even when I am at home, and it’s still 50/50. And if they do go through, I always get 2 of them in a row.

I’ve noticed over the years, that the british legislators seem to be overly obsessed about porn.

government funded, yet independent

🤨

Slovakia and hungary. Not sure how poland is doing these days, but there was an infamous news segment a few years ago that got international attention, because it was basically 5 minutes of simping for Andrzej Duda. Right before the elections.

I recognize the quality of work people in these institutions achieve. Not everything they put out is a political order, they still do decent journalism. It’s just that every now and then, you need to be aware of who controlls them. About what they say, or most importantly, what they don’t say when it comes to reporting on certain topics.

It might seem nice to have a funcioning “public” media, but all I see is a ticking time bomb, waiting for one bad election…

There doesn’t seem to be technical vision behind the proposal yet.

Jesus Christ, you’ve just savagely described the europe in a nutshell 😕

Could Europe build a public-service social media model, inspired by public broadcasting

Sure. The government owned broadcasting is working great… not being abused at all. #JustEasternEuropeThings

If the FSFE were to use gnu taller, the taler bank would’ve probably requested the same information through some other nonstandard channel sooner or later. The traditional electronic money has become like show breed dogs. They are no good without the papers. Especially in europe.

We need to eliminate the banks and the payment gateways from the paymemt process.

The idea of a national ID would never pass in the US. Both parties are against it for various reasons.

So… nobody changes the default settings, therefore everyone should change the default settings… to the wrong option?

edit: Why is it that homo sapiens is always willing to go an extra mile just to hurt itself?

Why are they always coming up with some kind of bullshit excuse? :D

On the other hand, it’s one of the least intrusive proposals I’ve heard in this round of debate. The parent flags the account as a child, the browser sends one (or more, in this case) extra bit indicating if it should receive the adult content (whatever it might be) or not.

No ID verification, no face scanning, no credit card checks, no companies building profiles of everybody on earth and sharing them with shady institutions. Plus, it pushes the responsibility back to the parents, who (hopefully) know the child the best, and can adjust the restrictions either way if needed.

Now I can finally accept that the age verification issue is merely “controversial”, instead of absolutely evil global conspiracy.

Is this related to Glance in any way?

It’s hard to hear what they are trying to say over all the gun fire noise.

So it’s not just me. The peering between europe and asia IS crap!

I’ve been to thailand in november and the connections to europe were hit or miss the whole time. The latency was poor and the reliability varied day by day.

The only thing that made any difference was switching providers on the EU side. It seems that some ISPs have better peering than others.

Also lowering the MTU for the vpn tunnel seemd to help a lot, but that might’ve been a placebo.

the rest only accessible through login and verification

Yes. If you can’t fight the death of the www, embrace it! Help making it happen!

speed will increase as development continues

LoRa is already surfing on the bleeding edge of physics. There is no way to get anything more out of it, other than allocating wider EM spectrum for this usecase.

There are some radio amateurs in my area trying Meshcore on 169Mhz for example. There are also some new boards available that can do LoRa on 2.4Ghz, but both approaches have some downsides as well.

For a more stable and reliable network, we would also need radios capable of communicating on multiple channels simultaneously (remember, the whole thing started off as a reaction to really cheap, almost disposable dev boards), but now we’re approaching the complexity and requirements of the traditional mobile networks.

People who studied the code speak really fondly about reticulum, however, it’s not as popular for building the lora based mesh networks, because the full stack does not run on the simple microcontroller. You need what is basically a standard PC connected to it. Given that mesh repeaters are usually designed to run off-grid on solar and battery, wasting additional power for a raspberry pi or similar computer would make the project unfeasible.

All while Meshtastic or Meshcore are perfectly happy with the esp32 or nrf microcontrollers. And the nrf ones can run without a direct sunshine for days with the reasonably large battery.

Yes. They should use a generic word that’s already used by 15 other projects… that’s how everyone does SEO these days. :P

Only half joking, though. It’s such a rare and refreshing experience to enter a name of a thing into a search engine and get the relevant results.

The pirates got Paolo Macchiarini? Good. Serves him right!

I feel like the opensuse is always on the outskirt when discussing distros, but their security reviews are often pretty brutal, in a good way.

I have a deep respect for them ever since they ripped a new one to the deepin devs / packagers.
