don't use it if you're flying a plane, though!

Coming from someone at the helm of a new reactionary movement, that's pretty tasty!

When people make a joke about a name in a different language than theirs, based on not being able to pronounce it correctly, is it just stupidity, or stupidity AND racism?

(i guess answer depends on whether or not the different language is spoken by a minority in the space stupid people make that joke?)

Mars does not have a magnetosphere. Any discussion of humans ever settling the red planet can stop right there, but of course it never does. Do you have a low-cost plan for, uh, creating a gigantic active dynamo at Mars's dead core? No? Well. It's fine. I'm sure you have some other workable, sustainable plan for shielding live Mars inhabitants from deadly solar and cosmic radiation, forever. No? Huh. Well then let's discuss something else equally realistic, like your plan to build a condo complex in Middle Earth.

for sms+calls to work much much there i a little bit of very easy work: to install the "modem distro" instead of the original OS running the modem chip. yes it means you can ssh into your modem and edit its crontab also...:)

Sorry if i am late to that party, but i have been daily-driving a pinephone for 4+ years now. 1/ It's not for the faint of heart. it is work. serious admin work. 2/ i chose a hard line of PostMarketOS edge (equiv of debian "unstable" updated continuously) and sxmo (a lovely, experimental interface, fully hackable, lightweight etc.) 3/ most of the shortcomings described by people who tried it only or expected a lot from it are related to comparing it to android or ios. it's a mistake i think. it should be treated as its own thing, with no expectations, and most of the shortcomings can be fixed by adaptation and custom work.. for me: most tasks via CLI (mail, matrix, mastodon, etc.) and lightweight browser, combined with lightweight interface (sxmo) considerably extend battery life. in suspend i get 48h (which is more than most android phones i used before) and with moderat use it lasts way over 24h for me.

I would totally recommend it IF you value computing freedom, autonomy and taking back control of your communication infrastructure and data more than an ideal of "comfort" or standardized streamlined processes modeled after the ones that put everyone in the hands of big US corporations (aka "user-friendly" lol)

Also that feeling that whatever tiny bit you may invent, fix or hack for yourself, can be put back into a wild community of avid trailblazing hackers is invaluable. Yes it's all work, but it's work for you and other people who value freedom. not work for Google and such...

Retrospectively, wasn't a lot of the space-exploration-based SciFi from the 50s 60s 70s serving the purpose of justifying massive government spendings in big rockets, mainly used to build ICBMs, to justify imperialist policies and the cold war?

were we (the scifi afficionados) the useful idiots of this missile race?

yeah you need to know the password or secret handshake (like a protocol handshake) to be let in! :)

"porte" in French means a door.

Imagine each port is a door, all neatly aligned... some of them can be opened and lead to something... (a service)

 

I tried as in the doc, but ran into

aeson-2.1.0.0 (constraint from user target requires ==2.0.3.0)
 

#FreeAssange!

 
 

A friend of mine is a social worker, with a cool hacker spirit, but not at all versed into computers.

She wants to learn programming.

I figured (from what i gathered around) that Python is a good language for learning as it has the just right amount of constraints, and that its constraints are actually useful for programming in other languages...

What sort of resources would you recommend to her? A book in particular? A guide/Howto or online course?

Thanks!

Pretty well summarize to convince the last of us and people around us who havent started experimenting with the Fediverse...

IA surveillance of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange while he was sheltering in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London included recording his conversations with American lawyers, journalists and doctors, and copying private data from visitors' phones and other devices, violating constitutional protections, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.

The suit – filed on behalf of four Americans who visited Assange – seeks damages personally from then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo for violating the plaintiffs' Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure. The suit also seeks damages against a Spanish security firm contracted to protect the embassy, and its CEO, alleging that they abused their position to illegally spy on visitors and passed on the surveillance data they collected to the CIA, which is also named a defendant in the suit.

 

Something that plays up to the PS1 and N64?

How about the RG351M or RG351MP?

...and why?

What environment to run on it? RetroArch? RetroArch wrapped into something?
