I never understood why people use Tailscale

I use it for the NAT busting and direct connections. This means that my devices can talk directly to each other, even when there’s NAT and dynamic IPs sitting between the devices with no port forwarding. This is not possible with Wireguard alone; usually you end up with a hub and spoke network model.

As for them man-in-the-middling, the client is open source (for Android and Linux at least) and traffic is end-to-end encrypted. If you don’t want to trust them with distributing the keys (completely valid concern) then it’s possible to configure things such that you must sign the keys of clients yourself for your devices to trust them (see Tailnet Lock).

In my case, because I like self-hosting, I self-host an open-source coordination server called Headscale. So in at least my circumstance I really am only using my infrastructure and open-source code.

I think you missed the point of his post. His issue is that the numeric operations the phone executes to run the LLM is producing garbage. Arguably this could break all kinds of neural networks, such as voice transcription. He’s not complaining that the LLMs are themselves unable to properly perform math.

Do they sleep inside the house? Like, are they housepets jumping up on your table and bed?

Sadly, at least in the North American market, Google’s Pixel phones are basically the last good phones you can reliably install your own ROM on.

I know tons of couples that use apps that let them look up each other’s location.

I use and love Arch, but it’s definitely not for everyone.

Trump and Rubio have said they’ll coerce the remaining government to open up the oil fields to US companies.

Trump also said that the vice president can remain in charge as long as she does what the US wants. Understand the implication here - the Venezuela government are bad people who stole an election and commit human rights abuses, but that’s all okay to the US. They can keep doing that - they just have to open up their oil fields. If the US had said “we’re making Venezuela a democracy again”, that would at least provide some moral cover. They’re not though. It’s just oil. The US doesn’t even pretend to value rights and freedoms anymore.

When I was a teenager during the 2000s, I bought the BS that the US’s motivations around the world were actually benevolent. The Iraq war might have been started on faulty information but at least they were spreading democracy. I thought the people saying the motivation was oil were overly cynical. Guess I was wrong.

These corporations are producing emissions as a byproduct of them producing products and services for consumer lifestyles; reducing these emissions will require them to compromise on price or quality, necessarily affecting consumers.

Consider - suppose that to reduce emissions, the government shut those corporations down and prevented others from increasing their emissions. You think your lifestyle would be unaffected? You might be unable to buy a car (or unable to fuel it). You’d be unable to fly overseas. Beef would probably be more expensive, causing people to eat less of it. Regardless, your lifestyle would be impacted. Like it or not, but if you’re buying products and services from these corporations (directly or not) then you’re part of the problem too.

Yes. I’m gay and kind of open to having children, so a partner having children (but me not being a primary parent) could be a nice balance.

I understand the argument that government services shouldn’t have to run a profit, but government funding should still be for meaningful services that people actually use. I only get maybe 5-6 relevant pieces of mail per year, and then a ton of junk. I don’t need service 5 days a week straight to my doorstep.

Our civilization has changed and mail delivery has lost much of its importance - how much we fund it should reflect that change in importance. A somewhat contrived example, but we don’t expect the government to continue paying for lamplighters to go out each evening and light streetlamps, because the need for flame based streetlamps (and their lighters) has decreased. Similarly, the demand for mail service has decreased (because of email) and we can get by with less postal carriers. Someone saying “the lamp-lighting crown corporation shouldn’t have to run a profit” completely ignores that maybe we don’t need as many lamplighters.

This is just Numeria in Pathfinder. From the Pathfinder Wiki:

No homebrew required.

I believe the levels of radiation are several orders of magnitude different. I don’t think you can even use a digital camera for a robot near these open reactors as the signal is completely swamped by the radiation, while in space you would just have a couple of inaccurate pixels at any point in time.

R (largely and by default) relies on CRAN, and they are extremely selective about what packages they accept, including testing new package versions against downstream packages before publishing an update, etc. That largely mitigates many of the concerns of some random 10 layer deep dependency getting swapped for something malicious.

It looks super creepy. Malicious compliance from the artist maybe?

No they mean the Terminal App itself. It feels great to use, I use it all the time on my work laptop when running WSL.

Windows + major consoles, and Steam Deck verified via Proton.

I remember reading that DRM is really only helpful at launch time anyway as it can slow down (but not stop) pirates, ideally forcing those most excited ahout your game to pay. Once your sales are slowing / pirates have already broken the DRM there really is no further point to it, unless maybe you’re regularly publishing updates and the DRM is still slowing the pirates?

Yep. My friend is an indie game developer and while his studio’s next release is “Windows only” (and consoles) they are testing to make sure it runs well on the Steam Deck via Proton / will be Verified.

I have doubts that Valve will officially support SteamOS on anything but their own hardware (and maybe some partners’), in which case unless you plan on buying a Steam Machine you’re going to be stuck for a very, very long time.
