They could make it difficult to open up the camera and extract its signing key, but only one person has to do it successfully for the entire system to be unusable.

In theory you could have a central authority that keeps track of cameras that have had their keys used for known-fake images, but then you’re trusting that authority not to invalidate someone’s keys for doing something they disagree with, and it still wouldn’t prevent someone from buying a camera, extracting its key themselves, and making fraudulent images with a fresh, trusted key.

The primary reasoning I’ve heard is that it’s easier to do arithmetic with numbers that are factors of your numeral base and 12 has more factors than 10 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 vs. 1, 2, 5, 10)

Base 12 seems a little impractical to me since humans have 10 fingers, which makes base 10 easier to teach to children, but it’s a matter of opinion i guess

τ is equal to 2π, which allows the formula for the circumference of a circle to be written more concisely (τr vs. 2πr or πd) but complicates most other places where π is used, like in the area of a circle (τr^2/2 vs. πr^2)

the PineTime can run for over a week in my experience, but it runs at 64 MHz and has 64kb of RAM, so telling time is pretty much its limit

I know that Calckey and its descendants support it since I verified my account on a Calckey instance, and Akkoma mentions it in this blog post.

ah wack, XWayland then? that should at least stop it from snooping on Wayland apps

It could, so while you’re using it you should make sure you don’t have anything sensitive onscreen.

If your desktop supports Wayland at all, you could switch to it while using Zoom, even if other things don’t work as well, then switch back when you aren’t.

If you’re using X, it would be able to read your inputs for other applications and such, but if you don’t do anything sensitive while it’s running it still won’t be able to do anything.

If you put zoom in a flatpak and tighten its permissions, it won’t be able to touch the rest of your system

That seems like a problem with Vim, then… Typically I don’t align at all, so I’m not familiar with editor behavior for alignment; I prefer to just indent one level deeper.

That’s not how you should mix tabs and spaces for alignment. You use the same number of tabs as the previous line, and then fill the remaining width with spaces. That way, when you change tab width, the alignment spaces will always start in the same column as the line they’re aligning to, regardless of the tab width.

Peanuts and dairy are usually possible to spot without checking the ingredients list, and they serve a distinct culinary purpose. They have valid reasons to exist, and are fairly simple, if a little annoying, to avoid.

HFCS does not serve a distinct culinary purpose (it’s pretty much just sugar but it benefits from corn subsidies), and is impossible to identify without careful scrutiny because it’s included in all sorts of foods that it has no business being in. The (purely financial) benefit it provides is far outweighed by its harm to public health.

He can eat corn just fine, but HFCS gives him a migraine. I’m not sure why, but it happens consistently even when we don’t notice it on the ingredients list at first so it’s not psychosomatic or anything like that.

Yes, my brother’s allergic and I don’t want him to have to worry about it anymore.

How is this better than a normal messaging protocol like Matrix? What does blockchain add to the solution?

My big killer feature for Linux phones is running Wayland/X11 apps mostly unmodified, if AOSP added support for that I wouldn’t be too disappointed about sticking with it. I’ve tried to make android apps before, but doing things the Android Way™ basically requires you to use java and their bespoke UI primitives, and it always makes me wish I could just use the tools I’m already used to.

Being able to have intricate control over my phone is nice, but I’d rather do it with a KDE-like settings maze than a terminal because of how tiny the screen is, and if I’m doing something serious that would require a terminal I would rather do it at my desk.

I definitely think the Android ecosystem has some serious problems, but I already run a custom ROM without Google Play Services installed so I’m fairly well-insulated from that. I do plan on installing a mobile Linux system on my old phone to experiment, but I doubt it will become my system of choice.

You need to use root or pass through some other access control mechanism to control network interfaces or audio devices on Linux too, Android’s access control mechanism for those things just isn’t built with shell scripting in mind because using a terminal on a phone is a pain…

Would be an excellent change if they replaced it with a chronological timeline, but we all know they won’t do that even though their backend already generates RSS feeds and it would barely take any effort to integrate with the frontend

Some games use a “trust” system based on human reviews of your gameplay that affects how you are matched with other players, but there isn’t a respectful way to force people to use just one account so that the trust score can follow the person. The best way I can think is to tie the purchase of the game to that account, which many services do, but that breaks the used games market…
