it's an optional crash detection feature that was widely publicized. You can turn it off very easily. And it gives you time to turn it off when it engages before calling the police.

If you have phone service, you're already being tracked.

Can't wait for progressive politicians to change their platform from "conditioning military aid to Israel" to "making military aid to Israel more transparent".

I wonder if it failed in some way and they intentionally detonated it after that, causing the entire fuel tanks to explode, or if this whole thing is unintentional.

You can't revitalize the UN if any actual changes in it require approval from the US, and it's headquartered in the US.

Carpetbaggers are fine, and also have nothing to do with hats.

An absolute no-brainer to block this. I won't even give them kudos. It's ridiculous a US company even tried to buy such a company.

Every country (including the US) should simply have a policy of never selling a software company to a foreign company. You're basically handing over your records and recordkeeping to a different government. Companies shouldn't even be hosting servers in other countries except to provide a separate but identical service to people in that country (which people in that country frankly shouldn't use, unless the origin country is cool).

Makes it easier and more reliable to port and install Linux on it.

Have you tried systemd-nspawn?

This is just a proposal by some Flatpak developers. The more important thing is that flatpak will have better cgroups integration which will be cool to see (already in progress I think).

Wish they would release devices that have EFI bootloader support.

A reddit poll is completely meaningless. The fact that you took any stake in this is unhealthy.

this left wing, clinging to a prestige it doesn’t possess

they demand their “second Vietnam,” but want others to fight it, of course

Reminds me of a post someone made on twitter recently of this video, interview with Georges Abdullah who was released from prison last year (after 41 years) https://youtu.be/2HXA4eXt_jw?t=1083

The one who resists is the one who has the final say and determines what should and should not be done.
The ultimate decision-maker is the one who sacrifices himself to the resistance. All spectators have no right to discuss any topic.

He looked more wrinkly at the V Day parade. The videos are a bit low res so it's kinda hard to tell.

They're taking money from AI companies to "provide AI tools" to people at the ASF. Can't believe even open source development orgs are pushing AI down people's throats too.

Interesting that a number of DPRK youtube channels have been banned.

It is now in a grid layout and I can't switch it to the list view. Worse, some videos are now out of order chronologically i.e. a video from 4 hours ago appears before one from 3 hours ago.

Feels like part of the continued march towards algorithmization of every last major internet service. The ultimate goal presumably being to make it easier and easier to censor things, Facebook style.

Presumably the channel RSS feeds will continue to work...

Unfortunately video hosting is one of those services that costs a lot to run so it isn't easy to replace.
