@danie10 I have tons of friends on WhatsApp and Telegram but don't want to use either, so I've set up my own Matrix.org server and bridged both apps through Matrix. Works like a charm!

@dazinism

Ah, reading your page I guess maybe it was because the ROM I used did *not* support it...

OnePlus? I recently switched to OnePlus 6T (fajita) with LineageOS but when I tried to lock the bootloader I ended up with soft-bricked device. On the other hand this worked with Pixel 3a.

@sheogorath @nurinoas

@sheogorath In long term the solution is supporting open hardware such as Pine64 and FairPhone with open-source solutions for secure boot like http://efidroid.org/

@sheogorath

Unfortunately, on some phones you can lock bootloader after flashing a custom ROM (Google) while on some you can't (OnePlus)

The price...

IQ is still relatively new from evolutionary point of view I guess. And maybe not the best trait for evolution too.

What we observe as periodic cycles of great progress and equally dumb regress of human societies could be simple regression to the mean.

The thing is that for a long time we haven't been living by plain rules of evolution, so what you do with your life is largely (but not completely obviously) your choice today, which is a great achievement already.

Why it's always worth using additional Linux mitigations such as LKRG? They can stop a zero-day kernel exploit before a patch is published. I've been using LKRG on prod servers for around a year now.

UK does world-class research on nuclear fusion energy which I like to follow quite a lot.

Poland did quite a lot of groundbreaking research on graphene (then fucked it up from business side, but it's normal).

Overheard: "I never turn on washing machine overnight, because overnight it uses only 20% electricity* so the wash quality must be worse".

So much about science and sophisticated engineering: beaten by Facebook wisdom.

* in reality: it's obviously the cost that is 20%...

The conservationists organisations seem to have just as little clue as Greens either: "solar panels, biogas and geothermal energy, and are open to keeping more efficient coal power plants". Fortunately, Germany's emissions are fraction of global, otherwise we'd be doomed 🤦‍♂️

Germany's #Energiewende getting the taste of its own medicine: land organisations fight on-shore wind farms, effectively delaying or blocking new investments. Logically, Greens should now argue wind energy "takes too long and is too expensive"... https://www.politico.eu/article/an-ill-wind-blows-for-the-onshore-power-industry/

Congratulations, #greenpeace !

"National grid operator RTE said last week it did not expect the closure of both Fessenheim units this year to impact the security of France's energy supply, despite the delay in commissioning the Flamanville EPR.

"This closure is offset by the commissioning of the combined cycle gas plant in Landivisiau"

French grid operator RTE on fears closure of Fessenheim threatens security of supply:

"This closure is offset by the commissioning of the combined cycle gas plant in Landivisiau."

"Whereas in the mid-1990s low and middle income households could afford a first time buyer deposit after saving for around 3 years, today it takes the same households 20 years to save for a deposit." https://evonomics.com/unproductive-rent-housing-macfarlane/
