some rando gained the trust of the xz maintainer and tried to sneak in a very sophisticated backdoor. luckily caught, but i wonder if we had another project compromised and don’t even know about it.

likewise as a socialist. it’s a good example the profit motive rule is bullshit.

i’ve heard of beeper before, and it’s what i want, but something feels off about it?

is it open source? what can you say about their privacy policy?

brazil did almost just that for a while years ago.

programming was never about how fast you could type. the person who wrote this knows nothing about the job.

watching all the ads and tracking domains get blocked is not guilty at all for me. i could do it all day.

frontends like imginn invidious redlib and such

this is cool. we actually need more of this sort of thing as corporations clamp down on tech.

it doesn’t even require that much bandwidth. can very much be used in conjunction with other stuff.

i just watched a video of car manufacturers doing the same.

professionalized reviews are bullshit

where did you post it?

buses are technically very proprietary like cars, and rented to you by a sort of subscription. and service works on their terms (usually badly)

unless you live in one of the few places with free bus fares and good service.

parts for 20 years

i think the good thing about an open source car is that we could crowdsource, or even make some parts ourselves, no?

daily driving conversions and heavily modified vehicles can get annoying, but something that has it in it’s design…

i wonder how much more practical it would be to do this kind of stuff if we standardized cars under an open platform.

you first need something that moves.

regenerative braking is literally just a power supply to get the spinning energy of the wheel back to the battery. in concept, electric cars are way simpler than ice, the gizmos they put in modern cars make them look more complex.
