Yeah. What it probably won’t have will be the hoch res camera array for look-through the Vision Pro has, but as long as you’re more interested in it as a productivity tool rather than something that reproduces all the Vision Pro “sparkle”, I definitely see potential.

The vessel was built by Oceanco, a firm that’s done such a good job that Newell just decided to up and buy it outright in August

A yacht - and a yacht builder.

I’m pretty sure this is mostly supposed to be a gaming headset, with non-gaming applications being more of a bonus. The vision pro on the other hand seems more marketed as a anything-but-gaming headset.

I do get it, and I could have phrased it differently. My point mostly is, it is often painted as an insurmountable problem for adoption, and while that might be true for a lot of users, there’s also a large number of user for who it isn’t.

Also, for me personally, I’d rather switch banks than use a phone with a stock rom, but I know most people don’t view things that way.

I know several banks who’s apps don’t need Google Attestation. I would also not use a bank that forces an app as the main point of contact as my main one. A lot of banks around here offer a tan-device as an alternative. There’s also a lot of transport associations that offer nationally valid chip-cards.

I do see why it’s a problem, but I also don’t think that one should let such services dictate their choice of mobile device. I do know that I come from a privileged position, living in a country where I have options.

I honestly don’t get why everyone is so hung up on banking apps. I run Graphene, and my bank’s app actually does work, but I wouldn’t really have a problem if it didn’t. They have a website that is pretty usable, and I don’t need an app to use my payment cards.

Sure, Graphene OS tries it’s best to limit Apps, but if you don’t trust an App, you just shouldn’t run it, no matter the OS.

I still find them preferable. Less “sponsored” stuff, etc. More tags, etc. for search.

It’s not just convenience - depending on how you use it, Cloudflare is also pretty good at giving an additional layer of anonymity. They assign any user of your site to the closest CDN Server geographically, so it’s is pretty hard to determine how and where your site is actually hosted. They also used to be pretty good about resisting takedown requests.

Oh well. I’d say time for a federated CDN, but the legal costs would probably be rather annoying for most volunteers.

Doesn’t seem to be a DNS block. I just set Mullvad to the UK and visited one of the pages. Mullvad does run their own dns. Still got cloudflare 451.

The error message reads like the website is using Cloudflare CDN, so Cloudflare’d be able to block any requests originating from the UK.

Cloudflare’s CDN is definitely used by a lot of torrent/piracy sites (e.g. 1337x, thepiratebay, Anna’s archive), so we’ll see what’ll come off this.

Like Fedora Silverblue or OpenSuSE Aeon/Kalpa?

Yeah, I’m in Germany. It used to differ country to country, but since GDPR, you need consent, need to have/give a proper reason for the recording, need to store it in encrypted form, need to provide it to the other party if requested, need to delete it upon request, need to delete it when it has fulfilled it’s purpose. Might have forgotten some requirements.

Things are probably less stringent for one private person recording another, but I’d err on the side of caution and always ask for consent. And if you want to record someone doing something illegal, probably ask a lawyer whether that’d be admissable.

Depends on your jurisdiction. For some US states, only one of the recorded parties has to consent. In my jurisdiction, both parties have to consent.

Can definitely be useful for longer/complicated calls if you can’t take notes in the moment. I’m not suggesting you use it to break any laws, of course.

The stock Graphene app has call recording. Very few other options can do that.

That’s… actually a good point.

A mission statement and core principles? I feel like there would have been an opportunity to call something a prime directive here. Or General Order One, I guess.

I don’t think the average user thinks much about the platform they’re on, and about who controls it. I think they go to wherever most of their family/friends are.

Also, those platforms are firmly in the mainstream, the alternatives aren’t really - you’d have to actively go search for them. People just aren’t likely to do that, I don’t think.

While what you said isn’t untrue, .ml does Bill itself as a general purpose instance. Also, not all the replies are from accounts on .ml.

In a more general sense, I always felt that only reading sources that alligned with one’s political alignment narrowed one’s perspective.

Zeit, Süddeutsche Zeitung, taz, dpa, Reuters, ap, BBC, Deutsche Welle, Deutschlandfunk. Some others, if they come up. Mostly via RSS.

I think the person might not have been qualified to make diagnoses at that point? With any MRT I’ve ever had taken, the people who actually took it told me they weren’t allowed to comment on it in any way, and I had to wait for the doctor to take a look.
