This is going to be an effective way to tank the Google/Yelp review score of your restaurant. And pay toilets are also stupid in Europe, I say that as a European.

It will be done wirelessly. They’re just legally required to call this a “recall” because automotive legislation was written before OTA updates were a thing.

Yeah, security is in layers and userland isn’t automatically “safe”, if that’s what you’re pointing out. So I did mention non-superusers. Separating the kernel from userland applications is also critically important to (try to) prevent non-superusers from accessing APIs and devices which only superusers (or those in particular groups) are able to reach.

Well hopefully you can’t harm your computer with userland programs. Windows is perhaps a bit messy at this, generally, but Unix-like systems have pretty good protections against non-superusers interfering with either the system itself, or other users on the system.

Having drivers run in the kernel and applications run in userland also means unintentional application errors generally won’t crash your entire system. Which is pretty important…

The EFF is working on all that. And have been for decades. They are allies.

They’re making a stand on blocking because they have a bigger perspective on the issues. Which I thought was quite well articulated in their article.

Net neutrality has been debated for decades and, as the EFF apparently still has to remind people, the entire thing conceptually goes out the window once it becomes acceptable for ISPs to start blocking content on their own volition, even if you happen to completely agree with the block. After some time building blocklists of generally understood to be nasty sites, ISPs with large entertainment interests will block piracy sites. Internet archive? Blocked. Blog which writes something nasty about them? Block. Anarchist Fedi community? Etc. That’s what the EFF is warning about.

Huh. AI writing about AI industry news. AI-ception.

It helps with compile time. I don’t know why exactly rust macros are slow, and precompiling them helps. Unfortunately, it means distributing a binary along your build process which I personally think is not worth the few seconds of build time speedup.

Btw I do think it is a technically clever solution to improving build times. I’m convinced serde’s author is trying to improve the project and this does address one of the common complaints. Clever solutions are not always the right ones though.

It is my, unsubstantiated, guess that these kinds of standards are kept deliberately complicated and weak to allow the “three letter agencies” to exploit them. I would expect the government itself when needed uses the most secure or even an improved version of the spec which does not have these obvious vulnerabilities.

Yeah, exactly. Commercial social media sites pay workers in low-wage countries to moderate content. Plenty of stories out there about the toll it takes on them, but it’s easy enough for the commercial sites to just keep finding more cheap labor. Fedi is mostly volunteers so it’s quite different, and much more visible.

Install the Mono package using the package manager. Then you should be able to copy your application to the NAS and run it in a terminal.

My US-made e-Bike is also “dumb”. A regular key to unlock it, a simple onboard trip computer, no apps, no bluetooth, a user replaceable battery… I can see the appeal of a “Tesla-like” e-Bike with a fancy app but reading about these companies going bankrupt makes me glad I got a simple bike.
