Rioting Pacifist

Hasn’t this clearly been the plan for years, surprised this is a a surprise to anyone. When musk was talking about delivering payloads anywhere in the world in under an hour, he’s wasn’t talking about getting you toilet paper quicker (or solving world hunger)

Why would you want this over just airdropping supplies?

Also I’m no military need, but if the road between your basecamp and the frontline can easily be blocked then I don’t think you actually hold that territory and may have over extended yourself and no matter how many supplies you drop/“Enemy” “combatants”/civilians you kill, you’re likely losing the war (see Rhodesia (LOL) or Vietnam)

Where AI could be useful, it needs significant investment, if paired with resources it can look for patterns in scans.

However the process an AI uses to make a decision is similar to encoding of an image, so I wonder how it compares in terms of resolution to high resolution pictures produced by MRIs

Not GDPR but the French & German laws which implement GDPR can result in jail time.

laws state one thing, reality is a-whole-nother.

Networks aren’t magic, if people are sending data from your car it’s going to leave a trace, given nobody is showing any traces you might as well be claiming wizards are stalking you.

You sound like one of their paranoid shut-ins that thinks crime rates are going up, even though every metric shows they are going down.

Data isn’t magic, you don’t collect data on everyone’s cars without leaving a network footprint.

In EU this would be a massive GDPR breach and cost the company €20 million or 4% of the company’s total worldwide annual turnover**

In Germany you face Up to 3 years imprisonment or a fine for transferring data to a third party you weren’t authorized to share.

In France Collecting data by fraudulent, unfair, or unlawful means carries up to 5 years.

In California CCPA allows fines up to $7,500 per intentional violation (e.g per customer)

they disclose that shit, just in a very vague way to allow a wide interpretation of what was disclosed.

Firstly misleading disclosures are not valid under both GDPR & CCPA

• GDPR - Consent must be “freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous”

• CPRA definies “dark patterns” as a user interface designed to subvert or impair user autonomy, decision-making, or choice and states outright: agreement obtained through use of dark patterns does not constitute consent.

Secondly do you have any evidence of said disclosures?

Selling tracking data from your customers without disclosing it would absolutely be illegal.

You’d go to jail if you did that in Europe, likely face a huge fine in certain US states too.

Are you saying they have a secret program where they illegally take your data and to pass this data around without your permission they have a secret bulk deal with telecoms peoviders

Are you saying they have a secret program where they illegally take your data and sell it to insurance companies?

So they are taking a video of you and in exchange giving you $10-50/month worth of data access?

They aren’t giving you an eSim for free.

It’s not really ambiguous at all.

A stable distro is one that doesn’t update packages except for security updates within the lifecycle of a release.

You can install debian 13 on release day in 2025 and when it gets deprecated in 2030 it will be functionally the same.

A byproduct of that is that apt updates are very unlikely to break anything.

None of that changes that you can run sudo apt remove dpkg or rm -rf / or dd in=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 (this one might actually work).

But for your average desktop users it means you don’t boot up your laptop and have to learn how to use libreoffice 26’s new UI on the day you need to finish an assignment.

My guy have you not heard of 4G and 5G?

So you think they are hiding an undetectable iPhone in your car for free?

Second, this sounds super easy to defeat with a printed photo card and a couple of Googley Eyes. 👀

That’s fine, people are under the mistaken impression that there are bad drivers that would deliberately cheat this, and good drivers like them that pay 100% attention to the road, the reality is there is that 99% of drivers are good drivers ok of the time and distracted drivers some of the time, if the 1% genuinely terrible drivers actively bypass this, it’s still a major improvement for the those of us that share the road with the other 99%.

This seems like slop for all the Ubuntu haters, but i agree moving to testing isn’t a good sign.

TBH while I like the hardware of my laptop, I’ve been pretty unimpressed by the software that Tuxedo provide.

While i appreciate not having snaps by default, the control center they ship is an electron app that requires /tmp be executable out of the box, and talks to a backend daemon that wasn’t particularly secure by default, and both live in /opt despite coming from the distro itself, so I think it’s ironic when people engage in technical sneering while throwing stones from within their glasshouses.

Also boot security doesn’t seem to be a priority for them out of the box, this seems like what they should focus on IMO, instead of switching their base

✘ CET OS Support: Unknown ✘ Linux kernel lockdown: Disabled ✘ Linux kernel: Tainted ✘ UEFI secure boot: Disabled

That it’s good enough as a distro, although I’ll probably just switch to neon if Tuxedo move to a rolling release base.

laud Debian for its stability, but you can easily break it with one wrong command.

Well because that’s not the stability release schedules are talking about

Shame there weren’t any open windows about
