  • French Servers Discontinued, Further Infrastructure Changes To Come and More - GrapheneOS Foundation

  • Personally, I’d feel safer if the longer-term place were in Europe.

    For example, in the Netherlands, which quickly and clearly was against ChatControl. (I'm partially repeating myself from the previous post here. I don't intend to copy-paste my opinion, it's just relevant to both news, while the topic is still fresh and actively being discussed.)

  • we have information that they were being sold

    Do you have any references to that? Pictures at least, or something? I mean, the person above repeatedly asks for details. Originally the claim was that the explanation is in the referenced article, but now it's not. Where is it then?

  • You claim "was funded" or "was founded"? Because funded means just that they sent some money. Could be to appear more legit or whatever the reason.

  • I’ve also found that for hiking OSM is frequently superior to Google maps.

    Almost every single time, in my decade of experience across Europe and outside.

    Also, cheers! (For always adding a business to OSM whenever visiting one)

  • I'm adding businesses to OSM all the time. In fact, whenever I encounter any business (clothes shop, cafe, etc) that is not yet on OSM, I usually add it right away. Including business hours, WiFi presence (I wish I could mark non-availability of WiFi by the way), phone number and web address.

    Searching is another thing though. If I've already been to the place, then it's already on OSM (see above), so finding it is relatively easy. Also, I bookmark frequent places as well. If I'm searching for a new place and the first few seconds on CoMaps aren't helpful, I honestly just open Google Maps in a browser. My stubbornness aside, if you want the more results, and most relevant results, it's better. After I find the place I navigate via CoMaps again because for bike/pedestrian navigation, it's better.

  • Elon Musk’s Grok Goes Haywire, Boasts About Billionaire’s Pee-Drinking Skills and ‘Blowjob Prowess’

  • Why should we care about an AI tailored to that one person whom many consider a fascist?

    Negative publicity is also publicity. Please let's rather ignore this stupidity.

  • There's also OpenRA Romanov's Vengeance, for people looking for this type of stuff. A WIP though, same as this project I think.

  • HDMI/DisplayPort suppory

    Jump

  • On topic: I don't know, I don't own any of the newer Pixels. Waiting which new OEM(s) it will be that GOS is collaborating with.

    Off-topic: I got actually curious about it, checked my Pixel 6, and indeed it didn't do anything about the USB-C connected HDMI. Strange, a 100-150 EUR PinePhone supports this but Pixel 6 doesn't. I guess it makes some sense though, given that PinePhones are targeting developers (at the moment, and for a while).

  • A native of the Netherlands questions whether she will ever ride a bike again after getting hit by drivers twice since moving to Australia five years ago.

    Jump

  • I this she's arguing for road awareness. She says:

    • the road was not lit (happens in NL too by the way)
    • the other cyclist was on the wrong side of the road
    • the other cyclist had lights off (!)
    • education:

      Back home, my family never owned a car, so for the first 23 years of my life, the bike was everything: school, groceries, even carrying passengers or furniture. Children in the Netherlands must pass a cycling traffic exam at school

    TL&DR; it's not a car blame post. It's a road awareness one

  • Nice project!

    Only somewhat related, but for myself personally, I've realized that the default UI for YouTube promotes doom scrolling as much as it possibly can. It seems to have a negative effect on my mental health and habits. So I live mostly without YouTube now, with only some occasional (once every few weeks), externally linked videos, that I usually download via yt-dlp or just quickly watch online. For online watching, I broke the page so bad with uBO that the page barely works, and there are no recommendations or after-you-finished-viewing transitions.

    This approach seems to work well. I find YT to be a really dangerous place. In one phrase, "sweet death".

  • The existence of billionaires is a policy failure

    Jump

  • Musk does not do a space race. Not on his money, at least.

    Instead, he does it on US taxpayer money, with billion-dollar contracts to get people to Mars by 2025 and other timelines like that. The government employee who approved one of the largest contracts to SpaceX quickly quit working for the government and now works... at SpaceX.

    So you tell me, is Elon in a space race, or are the US taxpayers in a race to fund the billionaire?

  • Hey, that's an interesting laptop, thanks for sharing! One question about it if you don't mind. On the website, they position the notebook as "Open Hardware":

    Open HardwareAll sources publicModifiable & reproducible

    However, if I go to the details, I see that the CPU is an ARM Cortext-A76/55. That is not open is it? Not all sources are public for it, it's not modifiable or reproducible. Is the CPU an implied exception to their statement above? Are you aware of other "exceptions"? Or maybe I don't understand something? It does look this way though.

  • Wait, this is LibreWolf we're speaking about. Have you unchecked these two? (see screenshot)

    UPDATE: The upper checkbox seems to flip browser.translations.enable in about:config. Librewolf even demands you do a full browser restart after unchecking. Combined with the name of the property, I think it's a win for you! I mean, that this thing really disables translations from ever executing.

    UPDATE 2: Admittedly it's not pre-disabled though. But clearly exposed in the settings.
