that’s good to know. when I signed last year I think it was enough to type in my id card’s number and my name and location.

898k. I’m very happy this is happening. but I’m worried about how sudden the signatures started coming in, there was a chart somewhere. Hopefully they are valid.

well there’s lots of wasted space where the vacuum bag is empty

fediverse over Tor?

maybe base it on Briar

*federated

but if your interest is to keep the US out of influence, ofc they would do it.

this video just makes 0 sense. they didn’t “disable” GPS and they most probably didn’t just start using beidou today

it becomes a form of censorship when snall websites and forums shut down because they don’t have the capacity to comply.

this also applies to lemmy, but strictly tech help forums too.

invidious still works, but it’s a constant battle

yes. ban them. they are already illegal in civilized countries for recording people without their expressed consent.

ok, maybe I wasn’t clear, ban them from public spaces, including venues. you can use it at home if you want, and at your friends if they don’t send you home for it.

folks who need translations

they can point their phones’ focused camera on the text they want to translate.

for disabilities, we need to research tools that allow affected people to exist more freely while being compatible with privacy.

yes, I’m also against artificial eyes that work electronically or can connect to an electronic system

not really. AR glasses don’t have to be aware of your surroundings, they can just place content relative to where you look, and they can use a gyroscope as a compass for more advanced things. maybe there are other sensors that would be useful too while being compatible with privacy.

of course they won’t be able to place apps on your fridge, or run search on anyone coming by on the street, but it can still be very useful

it does not, as my phone, and afaik most phones don’t support it.

messenger.com does not work on mobile, except if you switch your browser to desktop mode. It’s quite hard to use it, even lots of text become smaller, so lots of people wouldn’t keep using that

it sounds good, until you realize that it needs not only AR glasses, but one with built in cameras.

such glasses need to be banned yesterday. AR glasses are obviously not the problem, but basically walking always on cameras are

that’s the same thinking that those apply who say people don’t need jack connectors, mind you

someone who is often listening to music with their phone and wired headphones, or even just when arriving at home from work, is going to use both the charger and the jack at the same time frequently.

another scenario is if the person uses their phone as the microphone for their PC.

you can argue that both must be rare because you have never seen them done, that’s my exact opinion about wireless charging

how many times does the average person use wireless charging? Seriously, I haven’t seen anyone do that yet, or know of someone who uses that.

and yet that’s still a major feature in lots of phones

Technically it is recording for the preview in OBS, which I think goes on even when OBS is not visible, and I assume involves constant copying and downscaling with whatever FPS, but it shouldn’t be encoding until you hit record. but if you check the CPU usage of OBS, maybe also GPU with nvtop, you can see how much it affects your hardware.

I would imagine it’s not too bad, but still it would be better if it would let the machine idle as it should.

try Firefox

I don’t know, matrix bridges exist, and while stability is a problem, a bigger one is that I don’t want my messages to be sent to facebook services at all.

encrypted my ass. this is to everyone who dares to think that encryption is worth anything in a closed source app, developed by facebook no less. it is used as a buzzword, no more
