I once tried to record / replay my FIAT keyfob with my F0, and it did unlock the car once. Then I spend a bunch of having the remote lock replaced.
I’d like more evidence that this works reliably before attempting the same thing again…
search “Hentai Alien Tentacle Porn” for you
This is suspiciously specific 🙂
Even if it was open source (it isn’t, because no model is really open source ultimately) and even if it let you review what it says it’s gonna do, AI is known for pulling all kinds of shit and lie about it.
Would you really trust your system to something that can do this? I wouldn’t…
I look forward to not installing it.
I was expecting it to be vulgarly gilded. The orange utan is letting himself go.
It’s Microsoft. Assume surveillance.
that and fucking ads galore
And trackers.
And Javascript that give you the time in the page, as if you didn’t have a clock on your desktop.
And Javascript that give you a fake chat window to talk to a shitty AI nobody wants in the bottom-right corner.
And Javascript to annoy you with GDPR shit everybody absent-mindedly clicks away anyway.
And Javascript to inform you that the site uses cookies, as if it mattered since it won’t work without cookies.
And Javascript that nags you for a subscription or stops you scrolling to force you to create an account.
…
And of course, all that is done by loading megabytes and megabytes of shit recursively from a kajillion nested addresses because web “developers” couldn’t code tight code if their lives depended on it. All they do is import pre-chewed shit that acts as trojans for big data players to plant more trackers and more ads in your browser, just to serve up barf people by and large don’t give a shit about.
No: the waiting time is more like 9 months and fully-loaded, you’re looking at north of €1,800 :)
The point of MNT machines isn’t value for money, but openness and sovereignty over what you own. They’re not for everybody, but my kids are out of the house, the house is paid for and so I have the means to put my money where my convictions are.
But no matter: the point was that Linux ARM laptops really are nothing new.
I’m fascism-intolerant. Different disease, but one I’m proud to suffer from.
Well, Proton can move wherever they want and be as good as they what, I’ll never be a customer again because of what their fuckhead CEO Andy Yen said.
I don’t care that he’s backpedaled, I don’t care that Andy Yen isn’t Proton-the-company, and I’m even willing to accept it was a very unfortunate duh moment on his part. Here the thing: I don’t have many ways as a nobody to get back at Trump, but one way is to not give any of my money to anybody who enabled him, even by mistake.
So Proton is on my shitlist forever thanks to Yen.
A good 10 years. I’ve had zero issues, with my account or my family members’.
“Pave the way for ARM64 laptops?”
I have an ARM64 laptop as my daily driver right here on my desk and it’s happily running Debian 13. The road is quite paved already.
Funny, from my standpoint, more functional JavaScript almost always feels like service degradation - as in, the more I block, the better and the faster the website runs.
That’s why my email provider is in Norway and not Switzerland. Norway has much stronger privacy laws.
Easy fix: don’t use Copilot. Even when it’s not exploited, it’s good advice.
I use CalyxOS too. But Google doesn’t like it and they’ve taken steps to stop us.
So, enjoy the freedom while you can: the big G is coming for it.
It’s different this time around.
The previous attempts were about freeing themselves from an abusive unprincipled data-hungry big data monopoly,
This attempt is about freeing themselves from an abusive unprincipled data-hungry big data monopoly operating in a fascist country and in cahoots with the regime.
I reckon it’s serious this time.
poettering is an absolute good guy here
Agreed. But he’s also an abrasive know-it-all. A modicum of social skills and respect goes a long way towards making others accept your pet projects.
pulesaudio protocol is used within pipewire and it works just fine.
I wasn’t talking about the protocol, I was talking about the implementation: PulseAudio is a crashy, unstable POS. I can’t count the number of hours this turd made me waste, until PipeWire came along.
That’s Google for you: they’ve been doing self-serving open-source for decades.
For instance: they open-sourced Android. That helped Android become the dominant platform and Google capture the cellphone market. Since then, Google has been slowly moving their stuff away from the open-source AOSP and into their proprietary stack, introduced proprietary features that are almost compulsory for a practical, working Android system like Play Protect, and are actively killing deGoogled ROMs.
There’s only one thing to keep in mind with Google: if they do something, it’s not in your interest, and they know how to play long games. Anything they do will be used against you some day.
