It's crazy how Linux was so big on the PC by the early 2000s in universities and nerd settings, but mobile devices are so insanely broken when it comes to any kind of standardization that something similar for Linux-on-mobile world seems impossible; requiring insane crowdfunding like the one for the Ubuntu Edge that failed in 2013.

I see no plausible theory about there being anything nefarious behind this like wanting to be able to do more effective data harvesting.
When has Google ever done anything not evil in the past few years? Data gathering itself is their digital gold.
a bipartisan push
Anything bipartisan is almost always against the good of the American people. Also bipartisanship is a myth. There is only one party. They're actors on a stage and they pretend to squabble when, in the end, they get exactly what their lobbyist want.
What I see happening is a bipartisan push for restricting children's access to various online content, because it's been running rampant for ages
Once again, this is the parents responsibility! There are already tons of commercial available products that can limit children's access to adult websites. Parents can tell their kids porn is bad (if the parent believes that) and can even tell the kid they struggle with porn and instill those values. The kid will grow into a teenager who either accept that morality or reject it.
If the parent doesn't care about porn, well this serves no purpose for them.
I guess we should just agree to disagree. I think you're doing some really weird mental gymnastics to defend governments and corporations who do not deserve any defense, and who are actively working to continually erode all privacy and collect all your data.
You seem to be on a feminist instance and I know some of them are insanely anti-porn (like Louise Perry .. an example of an extreme authoritarian feminist who is for larger government). So maybe that value is so strong for you that you'll defend this. But it doesn't do what you think it will ... and by the time this grows into needing your government ID tied to being able to browse your banking website, well than it will be too late.
I don't want to say I told you so, because then it will be too late for the rest of us too. I want this insanity to stop.

No third party verification of any kind? What even is the problem? THIS IS GOOD.
No. It's useless. It's also the first step. You're foolish to think this has anything at all to do with age verification. It absolutely 100% does not. This is the first step in transmitting your personal information to every website. That's the end goal. This is the first step.
It's useless, so that's why you and everyone else needs to oppose it. If you don't see the real purpose, I'm sorry there's nothing I can do to help you.
Parents already have all the tools to stop Timmy from viewing stuff they don't want. They can already install parental blocks on their router and TV. They can already add parental controls to most eyeProducts. If the parent is concerned, it is the PARENT'S responsibility.
Can Timmy view the same bad content from another computer? Sure, but the parents have instilled the value in the child that it was wrong. That's all you can really do.

I like the term "Load-bearing shell scripts." If it starts getting past 20 lines and you're using it for CI/deployment/tests/etc. you should replace bash/sh/zsh with something else.
Why the Python hate? Python3 is pretty stable, and even has type hinting. Virtual environments and uv are your friends.

I ended up ordering the one in the picture off of Reverb. The listing didn't say it had been serviced or had photos of the case opened up. I'm a bit weary of vintage stuff like this, but it's less than half the price of the new Onkyo M-80.
I'll test it to make sure it works, but after that I'm going to open it up and make sure there's no corrosion and no leaky caps. The glue on these can get conductive if it gets corroded by leaky caps, so you have to clean it really well after you de-solder them.
Hopefully it's been in use and not in storage, which can keep caps from breaking. If not, well, it will be my first recapping project. 😅
I'll be using this Douk to switch between amps, and a Douk D5 as the pre-amp from my DAC to both amps. The switch has good reviews, but there is nothing on the D5, so hopefully it doesn't suck.

That sucks ass. I've only had their home theater receivers. I only learned about their hi-fi amps recently. They release a 2-channel power amp last year. It's not too expensive by hi-fi standards, but still up there.
I have a Willsenton R8 tube amp, but I sorta used it for everything and tubes/repair can get expensive. So I'm working on building out a setup with a Douk Audio speaker/amplifier switch so I can easily switch between two amps, and then only turn on the tube amp when I really want to crank some music.

I don't care about ICE deporting criminals; that's fine and they're honestly not even deporting that many. It's not enough to be significant. But I also think, even retarded states, should still be able to have their own enforcement efforts not be hindered as well. If they had bad policies, well it's their right to enforce those bad policies and let their state collapse.
That being said, this whole ICE thing is a psychological operation. The states are probably fine with it because the leaders are actually federalists and they're playing the propaganda game for their own benefit. I've written how I think various aspects of these are psychological operations:

Might not be pedo blackmail; might be some other sexual blackmail ... we are all one nation under blackmail.
Trump kissed the wall, intentional dropped Epstein and is the puppet of the exact same CIA/MI6/Mossad operation that pupped Biden, Obama and Clinton ... and now they've literally got conservatives to back Federal police over local law enforcement.

I'll try to take a look tomorrow. Kinda long, but curious.
There is a lot of digital collection out there. I spot more license plate readers all the time (both Flock and others). Sure not all of the datasets are well connected ... that just means most of them are wrong. How many background checks turn up two unrelated people who happen to have the same name? The LLMs/AI are going to make this matching even worse.
But one cannot ignore the large data collection by big government contractors like Palentir, Oracle, et. al. That information will come together; it's probably already getting packaged together, with promises of high AI-accuracy ... how long until the first LLM "hallucination" induced swatting?

You can see the guy's reflection ... looks like a Microcenter somewhere? ... those prices do seem wrong though. $800 USD for a 64gb kit? ... maybe it's just photoshopped?

I don't think any of the stuff in the screenshot had a chat component to it; or if it did, it was really limited. Predators have really exploited any online game with chat components that happens to have kids playing on it.
When we played games as kids, it was on non-networked consoles doing couch versus or co-op.

Yea I've heard that theory (both Patel and Alex Jones said "We'll see you in Valhalla," which is apparently the old name for a protection program).
I dunno. That gets into some Epstein is in witness protection/trust the plan bullshit. I think it's more likely Orange Man is a pedo or pedo-defender and we're just being fed a ton-o-bullshit.

I honestly don't think we can even be sure if he's dead or not at this point.
Owens did say she was "a mason" of TP USA .. and yes I know she meant "founder," but what a weird and specific choice of words considering her audience.
The girl stabbed in the neck on the Charlotte train is so obviously fake and Matt Walsh has brought it up yet again.

I've only bought silver at shows so far. Not a lot. I guess I'm trusting the venue wouldn't let in hucksters. How do less amateur collectors test what they buy?

I doubt anyone really knows the real people who're currently running the national/international blackmail racket, and we probably won't know for 10+ years. Didn't pdiddy not even get any major charges and get put in min security anyway?

Ikea use to be more basic and affordable while still being decent quality and lasting a while, but even it's gotten up there in the past decade.
