Bad client…


Welcome to the land of critical thinking. Whether your take on China is objectively, or provably right or wrong, your take on the US is not generating any argument and that says a lot in itself.
There’s still a lot of room in critical thinking land (thanks to social media and propaganda) so make yourself comfortable, pull up a chair and enjoy making your own decisions about things.


Hyundai Ioniq 5 works like this. Flush handles that can extend mechanically or can be extended by pushing the front of the handle into the car, to make the rear protrude. Then pull the rear to open the door.


She’s in the files too. Little doubt she knew what was going on, and yet she chose not only to not speak out, but she profited from Epstein money and contacts. She might as well have been holding the girls down. Inaction is a chosen course of action and all who knew and did nothing are guilty.
All the proposed services/technologies would benefit the wider consumer base and the user but switching is too big an ask for many people. We need to encourage people into using “as well as” the global defaults. That will build the network effects that lower the cost of fully switching
An easier and bigger immediate impact would come from people replacing Chrome and google search with respectful alternatives, and/or replacing gmail or outlook with private services like proton or tuta.
Starve the surveillance machines a little bit.


“super stable, backward compatible system without “AI”” Sounds like Linux 😁


Anyone got a a link to the unlockable bootloader confirmation?
If that’s confirmed, its a big deal - to me at least though I’d also want some comments or info from clicks about other OSs running on the device?


The board of peace is basically Spectre brought out of the James Bond films into this fucked up reality where a bunch of morons elected Biff Tannen… twice.


Not being able to run ai spyware 11 sounds like a big entry in the plus column to me 😅


Well that sucks. I assumed the ram, ssds, hdds could be recycled into useful forms.


Can we all buy cheap hardware when the bubble bursts and the billionaires decide not to pay the electricity bills for these ridiculous datacentres?


Completely agree and I’m on the same train. I boycott as much as I can from the USA.
When the rest of the world catches up, dumps us bonds, treasuries, stocks, and revokes ridiculous copyright protections that prevent repair or circumvention to disenshittify, then I’ll be satisfied.


Feel free to repost, I’m more of a commenter 😅


Sweden have been leading the way in extracting screens and digital services from schools. Worth reading this: https://www.afterbabel.com/p/sweden-went-all-in-on-screens-in?publication_id=1221094 Plenty of data referenced for the reasons why…


A fair response. Just couldn’t see anything except US references when I looked at the site.


Love the princess bride reference. Thank you for acting on behalf of those of us with less technical skills.


Your comment is more technical than I can properly follow, but this all reminds me of the tarpits I read about a year ago. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/01/ai-haters-build-tarpits-to-trap-and-trick-ai-scrapers-that-ignore-robots-txt/
Is that more usable? (Genuine curiosity from someone who would shed no tears if the plagiarism machines experienced resistance)


your Industrial Workers of the World only seems to exist in the USA; a disproportionately problematic but still relatively small part of the world.
You are free to disagree but as a man who wants to be considerate and respectful to all people, this is my take on your comment.
Assuming fake and appreciating anything that doesn’t contravene your own boundaries is vastly insufficient. The creation process is irrelevant. The objectification and accompanying dehumanisation is the problem.
That woman was denied agency in a manner that any and all right thinking men should be denouncing as being outside their boundaries, regardless of whether you have ever encountered the person in the images… If you aren’t objecting, you’re complicit as a member of the audience.
