Stop putting your balls in my urn!


They’re based in Canada, and given their privacy-focused approach I can’t imagine they’d implement such a feature.


Wouldn’t this just be unenforceable for any Linux distros not directly owned/maintained by a US-based corporation? I don’t really see how they could force a distro to comply, unless they start going after individual maintainers who live in the US.
It might take them a few more centuries than us to develop the tech, but just because we use chemical engines doesn’t mean it’s the only viable method. I’m sure they’d figure something out eventually.
You’re sort of right. The change in distance from the surface is insignificant, but a spacecraft orbiting a bigger planet has to travel further with each orbit so its speed must be faster to avoid falling out of orbit, even if the gravitational acceleration at its orbital height is the same.


Does it count if my instance is defederated from lemmy.ml so I can’t interact with their communities in the first place?


I don’t see it as necessary. I have full disk encryption set up, which is sufficient to protect my data at rest. Even if I had secure boot set up, a sufficiently skilled agent could physically install a USB sniffer in my keyboard, flash a malicious BIOS to my motherboard, or just install a hidden camera to watch me type my password. And many TPMs have vulnerabilities that I’m sure government agencies are able to exploit.
Wish I could figure out how to unlock the sidequest, oh well…


I don’t use Play Services and still get push notifications from Signal, so they’re clearly using an alternative implementation.


This could not possibly affect the aerodynamics


Mint does have a graphical app store. Steam also has a .deb package on their website to download, which opens by default in the GUI installer when you double click it. Using the CLI is fine, but it’s definitely not necessary.


Even as a joke, sending a real advertisement to people is completely unacceptable and deserves an immediate permanent ban. If they had created an ad for something fictional I’d be a little less annoyed about it but it still seems like a bad idea.


Their GitHub repo says they used AI tools to rewrite the entire codebase in Rust (avoiding legal issues I guess?) which does not give me confidence about their use of AI.
I was really hoping for a lunar impact, oh well :/
It’s also good to keep in mind that the gambling site is predicting only a 50% chance of a sweep. That’s still coinflip odds.

They scrape data indiscriminately; I’m sure any Epstein files publicly accessible on the internet have been added to their databases. Perhaps they’d be filtered out before being used to train models but I’m skeptical they take that level of care with the data.
