Which is more expensive for the state, i.e., even from a pure capitalist point of view the least favorable option.

Wow, that's an impressive list of amateur tanks. Do they also sell real cars in the US? (Rhetorical question)

englislanguage ,

You can do that, but it is not necessary.

Except if you ran the update from within a graphical session and your session crashed, as this will kill DNF, making the update incomplete and potentially corrupting files. I recommend you either:

  • use the graphical updaters
  • run dnf from a TTY
  • or use some of the atomic spins, having atomic updates on btrfs subvolumes

I recommend "dnf automatic" to fetch the latest package index in background

Syncthing on Android has an option to only sync when on AC battery.
The PC client might have a similar option. If not, you could probably configure something similar via systemd or udev under Linux.

I don't think syncthing has proper means to synchronize contacts or anything else that's not file-based though.

I use syncthing and prefer it for synchronizing files between my devices.

Once again, it's mostly about the money

Do you have evidence or is this pure speculation?

How and why should Mozilla get money from Russia? Isn't it more plausible if Russia were blackmailing Mozilla?

Is this all true for addons available from Mozilla's add-on site?

PS: Mozilla had to limit installing addons because lots of companies installed malicious addons into browsers of their users, often without knowledge or informed consent of their users.

englislanguage ,

Does the add-on work the same way in Chrome? Or does Google break it in a way similar to uBlock Origin with the WebExtensions v3 update?

If you put microphones into the table, the audio will be horrible, catching up any surface acoustic waves from any noise on the table. Like if someone touches the table anywhere, this will be caught by the microphone. If someone puts down a hard item to the table anywhere (e.g. a pen, fingertips with fingernails, smartphone) you won't be able to hear anyone in the room through microphones due to the transient noise.

A social app for creatives, Cara grew from 40k to 650k users in a week because artists are fed up with Meta’s AI policies | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)

Artists have finally had enough with Meta’s predatory AI policies, but Meta’s loss is Cara’s gain. An artist-run, anti-AI social platform, Cara has grown from 40,000 to 650,000 users within the last week, catapulting it to the top of the App Store charts....

I think we should not expect a volunteer (or small group of volunteers) to keep up with a billion dollar company

Innovation is orthogonal to code size. None of the software most modern computers are running cannot be solved on 10 year old computers. It's just the question whether the team creating your software is plugging together gigantic pieces of bloatware or whether they actually develop a solution to a real problem.

More "conservative" in terms of preserving the planet's resources.

You don't need Gigabytes of RAM for almost any consumer application, as long as the programming team was interested/incentivized to write quality software.

Works without wine too.

Has anyone heard about the andro-switch ring before? It is supposed to work without taking any pills and be free of side effects (except for carrying a silicone ring around the testicles).

Cryptocurrencies in general are not anonymous. There might be exceptions, but all I've seen is pseudonymity. And an eternal backlog of every transaction ever, i.e., if your identity gets revealed for a single transaction, it will get you revealed for every transaction you ever did.

englislanguage ,

Yeah, that headline is very misleading. Crypto(graphy) is essential for the digital world to exist whereas the other stuff is a pyramid & money laundering scheme.

I guess I'm getting old then 😜
