I wouldn’t say so. People who majored in CS in undergrad frequently go on to be software engineers, but if you’re using the title of computer scientist you’re almost certainly on the scientific/theoretical/mathematic side of the practice.
It shows for me but without animation, my server is federated w ml
In the GrapheneOS development room there’s a lot of talk about finding an OEM to get security partner status from and/or to design a grapheneos specific device. I saw they were tentatively chatting to the CEO of Mecha (currently crowdfunding for a Linux handheld called the comet) as well as another anonymous Android OEM lead. So I’d say be patient, wait and see. I’m confident the project will continue, hopefully with full support for pixels via a partnership but potentially on their own hardware.
As somebody else mentioned, using a computer and just taking calls there would work and give you solid control over microphone activation etc. If you really want the landline experience, look into adding a USB handset to that setup. It’ll just act like a mic and headphone from your computer but in the classic phone form factor
Professional audits happen for big projects, and hobbyists audit the programs they use frequently. In addition, some projects adhere to the reproducible builds guidelines, which ensures the packages you’re receiving are identical to the upstream repo. There’s more work to be done in formalizing and automating these processes but this isn’t a major issue by any means
Just make sure they know anything they put on these big tech platforms are there forever, regardless of what claims they make about “disappearing messages” etc. Do your best to guide them towards encrypted services for their own protection. As much as I hate this, iPhones are a decent recommendation in the US since almost every young person uses iMessage as the default, and that has end to end encryption available. Work to inform them on the dangers of corporate spying and profiling, as well as data leaks and security, and let them have some sovereignty over their platforms. Keeping an eye on them is good; isolating them from important modern social circles isn’t. Inform and educate first and foremost
Holy shit that’s just terribly cruel. The proposed bill would also legalize trapping and snaring mountain lions. Just leave these kitties alone man
I wonder if there’s any sort of alternative, community weather system that is run for the public good. I’m envisioning an open source ecosystem where people buy commodity weather instruments (barometers, thermometers, anemometers) and then connect them to a program which feeds them to a larger decentralized network. Then people could make visuals of the conglomerate data to see low pressure and high pressure areas, track storms, etc. If that backbone existed you could also create a distributed computational model like we see in projects like ‘folding from home’ in order to create forecast maps. Just spitballing but if anybody knows of programs that do any part of this I’d love to hear about them
Vaultwarden is perfect imo
They are vestigial 19th century features, they’re intended to hold your pocket watch
This is accurate. Additionally, the WebKit rendering engine that they have to use is open source, so not too bad imo
I think you’re better off finding tools which work for your particular language, application, workflow etc. For me I use nix and direnv to create directory based declarative package sets that load upon cd’ing to a project’s folder. This allows me to have exact versions of the packages I need regardless of system packaging or versions used in other projects. Some people prefer spinning up containers for this role, often using tools like distrobox. If the language you’re working in has good version management tooling then you can also just use that
Mozilla.social no longer exists, Mozilla took it down
There is a Unity variant that’s still maintained
Will Gaza even be habitable in 50 years after a Harris presidency? She has not vaguely aligned herself with current policy, she has pledged to maintain current rates of weapons shipments and support Israel to the hilt in their genocide. Any talk of ceasefire from Biden or Harris is meaningless because 1) they redefined ceasefire in their messaging to mean a hostage exchange 2) they are actively maintaining the military capabilities of Israel and therefore materially opposing ceasefire. Biden and Harris both CHOOSE not to make a call and end this genocide. They are as complicit as Netanyahu and exactly as dangerous as Trump
Had a professor last year who had us read Pedagogy of the Oppressed for a technical writing class lol. Loved her
Random applications that use the play integrity API won’t work on any third party OSes or ROMs. For example I tried to install some Intuit app on my GOS Pixel a while back (credit karma I think?) and it didn’t work at all
On the topic of your digestive tract “remembering” its last source of energy: I read years ago about the effect your diet has on your gut microbiome and the role it plays in setting your cravings. My understanding is that the type of food you eat encourages certain bacteria to grow in your gut which like those ingredients, and they release hormones and neurotransmitters that trigger your cravings for more of what the bacteria like. So there is a real physical change happening that creates and sustains these cravings based on your diet
Shut your racist ass up
