Hmm, x Doubt. As I understand it mobile providers can locate phones via triangulation of signal strength, which would be independent of the phone OS. The apple blurb says

With this setting turned on, some information made available to cellular networks is limited. As a result, they might be able to determine only a less precise location

Perhaps the OS or the baseband report location to make tracking more effective in the case of only being within range of one or two towers, but those words are pretty weaselly. About the only thing this could do is turn off information apple has already been giving providers, which begs the question, why were they doing that?

On behalf of everyone with aphantasia, no that doesn’t work for me. Sigh. `

While SO is toxic, it’s mostly about the failure of the supplicant to do the fucking research (RTFM or equivalent these days goddammit, and is usually backed by ppl with actual knowledge, Chat GPT / LLMs., not so much.

Kill Nazis, so hot right now…

Rotary (Pie) menus rock and should be everywhere, not just controller games. I like Kando. I like keyboards too, but when I’m mousing around it lets me do so much without bothering to touch a keyboard.

I hear you, you makes sense, but that way lies the death of personal general computing, which would be a crying shame. You’ll have nothing and (won’t) like it a few years later, SaaS taking over powered by all those ‘AI’ datacentres. Peak phone could even have happened if RAM becomes prohibitive, instead they’re just windows on an all centralized, subscription web services. I see it as a pretty existential threat for my preferred way of life.

And fuck your bullshit censorship of basics like fsck (it’s a joke moron, filesystem check, but also fuck). We get it, you want to swear on the internet, fine, but also let others express themselves as they see fit. You probably cope with typos, just see this the same.

Well said.

FOSS obviously, why is this a question ? Just support KDE (or Gnome if you like that)

If you’re after direct hate on AI, you’re swimming upstream, it’s propping up the government of the largest economy in the world. Just wait, it’s unsustainable.

Solid.

Do not build the Torment Nexus ;)

Can’t believe Cosmic Dare (Pretty with a Pistol) isn’t here already. Go watch Cowboy Bebop stat!

Eh, we could talk about security and the ancientness of X11, but the fact is wayland is where the dev is happening , you may lag a bit with LTS kernels, but it’ll get there.

Still wish I could cast an apps window to another machine (someone got a way with wayland) but otherwise with a modern kernel it significantly outperforms X. Give Bazzite a whirl, you’ll see.

Super informative if true, like mercator projection if you understand it. Is it ?, or just a meme / AI, fucking timeline. Source?

Cool stuff, I’ve been using https://github.com/SnoringDragon/gluetun-qbittorrent-port-manager but it’s 2 years old and intermittent in functionality (works sometimes, check it if you haven’t). Will keep an eye on yours.

If you’re up for a challenge flaresolvarr is always in a cat and mouse game with cloudflare if that’s your idea of fun.

Well Done!

In Anna’s, thanks, likely useful…(to me), 1990.

Isn’t that just a portable battery with a solar charger (MPPT) integrated ? We were talking about solar roof setups combined with large fixed batteries, which will largely cover all your needs most days. The diesel genset I used as a placeholder for reliable personal electricity generation from some other mechanism for the rare other / high usage days. Biodiesel is a good option, but there’s hydrogen (or LPG) fuel cells and a number of other options, you don’t have to put them in the same room as you either.

Also kW is power, kWh is (stored) energy (kW you can deliver for an hour), units matter.

Manufacture drones, drones, drones… Ground floor and all.
