oh, got it, thanks. feel so bad about people having read my incorrect comment haha

That’s a huge change. Reviewing one years’ worth of code at once is practically impossible, this significantly reduces the chances of a third party spotting malicious changes in the code.

that’s great to hear, thanks for the info. It’s strange that they don’t mention that on their websites more prominently

they offer so much, I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about them before. Most of their apps have proprietary clients though, right? And they don’t seem to offer privacy features like simplelogin for email, which was the main reason why I subscribed. and additionally, one would then have to pay separately for vpn

edit: they have open source clients

it doesn’t have to be only meaningless computations. And even if it were, the cost is nothing compared to such a huge scale of privacy infringement

is it? Someone mentioned proof of work being effective for Tor.

If anyone wants context for why she was denied entry, apart from photos supportive of terrorists found on the phone

The doctor also reportedly told agents that she attended the funeral of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah while in Lebanon, but that she supported him “from a religious perspective” and not a political one.

yes that makes sense, thank you for explaining.

it is not genetic, it is environmental. Children of parents with less intelligence will not be raised to be intelligent. They might be lucky/resilience and try to get the most support outside the house, but it is much harder to accomplish, and often is even met with harassment at home, due to the rest of the family being insecure about their own lack of intelligence. And that is only if they rebel, which is not necessarily true as they will not only lack easy access to basic knowledge about the world/science, but will also not be introduced to the importance of learning about it from their closest figures of authority. Escaping that cycle it is even harder if the family is facing economic hardship, which is true for most modern families in general. It really isn’t that hard to figure that out, the kneejerk reaction that the statement always gets is annoying.

home assistant is amazing but it is not yet an alternative to Alexa, the assistant/voice is still in development and far from being usable. it’s impossible for me to remember the specific wording assist demands and voice to text is incorrect like nine out of ten times. And this includes giving up on terrible locally hosted models trying out their cloud which obviously is a huge privacy hole, but even then it was slow and inaccurate. It’s a mystery to me how the foss community is so behind on voice, Siri and Google Assistant started working offline years ago, and they work straight on a mobile device.

“walled garden” - how many 5.4” android phones can you name from the current decade?

This is not just bad, but desperate journalism. Nobody cares. It’s cruel to feed readers wishful thinking like this.
