timbuck2themoon , 9 days ago to Technology in France considers approval of European chat control plan

Getting all the states to agree to this seems unlikely and I believe it needs to be unanimous, right?

timbuck2themoon , 10 days ago to Technology in Google AI making up recalls that didn’t happen

I would love if lawsuits brought the shit that is ai down. It has a few uses to be sure but overall it's crap for 90+% of what it's used for.

timbuck2themoon , 11 days ago to Technology in New York governor to launch bill banning smartphones in schools

That's a good take but I gotta say- kids are kids. They WILL slack off, they will goof off, they will use the phones for other things. This isn't a critique- it's what kids do.

If they need tools then a couple ipads or similar can be used. I don't find the argument "they need to exist with smartphones in society" convincing for school. At work you know you'll be fired if you're caught using your phone too much, etc. and slacking off. Kids aren't under the same pressure as that and quite frankly I wouldn't expect them to act with that level of maturity as even some adults don't and they're older and should be wiser.

As for the problem of just existing with them? I feel like that is yet another thing that school won't solve. That is up to their parents, etc. Good habits start at home. Expecting schools to solve all problems (especially ones so entrenched like socioeconomic conditions, poverty, etc.) is half of why we're here in the first place. But guess what? If the kid is given a tablet or allowed to use a cell phone at the table and basically whenever/wherever they want, do you think their behavior will be different in school? Do you think it's up to the school to be forcing this? That is yet another ridiculous burden I think we'd put on teachers and staff.

Moreover, don't you think we should be conditioning these kids that it's ok to exist without a phone?

These kids won't be worse off without phones. Like you said- the rest of us did just fine without them. Let them have a calculator and computers in computer class and call it a day.

Seems odd. They've been pushing login.gov like everywhere.

timbuck2themoon , 17 days ago to Technology in /e/OS Is Better Than Android. You Should Try It

Imagine being these people angry at us wanting something that doesn't affect them in the slightest. Talk about petty.

timbuck2themoon , 19 days ago to Privacy in Looking for a VOIP service to replace Google Fi

If I can find my message to them, I'll post what it was. I can't remember if the messages arrived oddly or if it was sending pictures, etc. etc. It was just some hangup where I couldn't justify going to it. I would've liked to otherwise because like OP I basically only use Google at all for GV.

timbuck2themoon , 19 days ago to Privacy in Looking for a VOIP service to replace Google Fi

When i tried they didn't do MMS properly. So YMMV.

timbuck2themoon , 25 days ago to Mildly Infuriating in Lots of times the restaurants won't even have milk

It really is. Like a lot of non alcoholic is crap (maybe if you're a rare drinker it's passable and unnoticeable). But Guinness 0.0 tastes very close to real Guinness. I'm not sure i could tell the difference in a blind test honestly.

I've learned some Esperanto and still think the name is stupid. Make your app have a sane, pronounceable name to any old person.

timbuck2themoon , 1 month ago to Technology in That time when Microsoft bought and killed Nokia phone unit

I haven't. The n9 with meego was amazing. The n900 too but I'm still sour thinking how great meego would be now instead of android.

Official spin isn't enough. Oh no....

timbuck2themoon , 1 month ago to Privacy in Which of the among is the best exif remover app?

I would agree with this. Also, compared to aves and fossify (which are both great) you keep metadata on your phone and only strip it when sharing.

timbuck2themoon , 1 month ago to Technology in Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining

It's not going to be a shitshow at all. Business will mostly move to 11 whether they like it or not and consumers will just use unpatched win10. The exact same way they did with XP and the exact same way they did with 7.

It's only gonna be a shitshow if there is some earth shattering vulnerability found that a worm can exploit and even then MS would probably just push out an out of band update.

This is honestly going to be a "nothingburger."

timbuck2themoon , 1 month ago to Selfhosted in Traefik 3.0 GA Has Landed: Here's How to Migrate

I might give this a go. Have been using bog standard ingress nginx for my k8s but have wanted to try a gateway supporting ingress product for a while.

Thanks op.

timbuck2themoon , 1 month ago to Technology in Roku OS home screen is getting video ads for the first time

Yep, looked more into it. Honestly it sounds great. A dedicated box AND remote with kodi and an integrated app store? I'm intrigued. Will give this os a go soon.
