Wow, some good news on Lemmy? Sign me up!

Yeah, im in a similar situation. Curve doesn’t work in my country and banks don’t have their own solution. And google pay won’t work on my grapheneos pixel.

At least the last one won’t happen, as banks would have to be on board. And banks are not on your side with this one.

It would affect a lot of users, then it will indirectly affect you too, as a lot of devs won’t be as interested in maintaining their apps for so few users. But I hope it will at least give a bit of a push to developing postmarket os. I personally am sure going to get a second hand phone to install postmarketos too and hope I can contribute at least a little bit. I am prepared to suffer, at least a little bit for the right cause.

Calm down dude, not everyone expressing an opinion is automatically a pedo. I also get enraged to a thought of a child getting hurt, but don’t lose your brain. Like you could have argued that the doll is not where a pedo would stop, it would encourage him to move on, or that a doll like that existing is normalizing pedophilia, but instead you raged out. Censoring exchange of opinion does the opposite of preventing pedophilia. Instead, I’d be interested in a study that would explore whether having dolls/cartoons etc would do anything to decrease the number of child molestation in any meaningful way. If not - I’m on board for banning stuff like this. This argument against banning dolls, though not being particularly strong, does express some logic. Your comment actually does more harm than good by jumping the gun so hard, IMO.

There is an extension for Firefox for blocking shorts. You lose the shorts button and any short you access through a link is converted into a regular, full size video.

Looks like ćevap to me, not a sausage :)

No, I agree, I guess my point was - I thought I wouldn’t have to as much, which I guess most people think when buying a robot vacuum or any other robot. Hence the reaction of many people when they see a new robot is - we’re cooked. Yes, in terms of sheer manual, automatable labour, we may be. But not for anything requiring some intelligence. The surprising thing is - turns out a lot of things can be automated and thus useful.

I have one of those lidar xiaomi robot vacuums with a mop. It would frequently jam and I would have to make sure to not leave chairs and stuff lying around to be able to make it run. But then new, creative ways of jamming would pop up every now and then. I HATED adapting my house for a stupid robot and used it less and less. When my daughter was born it was all over - forget about it, toys everywhere, I prefer having a dusty house.

I agree with everything. Compiled, GC language was weirdly missing. Also, I think that exceptions are not a particularly good error handling solution. But it’s weird to have a GC abstraction and goroutines built-in, yet not have support for any other abstraction for programmers. Just seems not well thought through language from the start.

True. But I would argue it makes more sense comparing python to rust than go to rust. Scope of use cases for python is more similar to rust. Other than that - sure, you can compare Haskell and x86 assembly too, though it would be of little use.

I’m not proficient enough in Go to say how good or bad it is, but I have tried it in the past and it made and immediately not like it. Verbose syntax, no null safety or any error handling, no templates at that time, people literally copy/pasted the code of containers for different data types and did find/replace on it. The only feature that was kind of convenient is goroutines. For my money, Kotlin and even Java were more modern looking and would prefer them to go any day. Also not apples to apples comparison, but far more similar than rust.

Is it just me or does comparing go and rust make very little sense? Other than being popular and relatively new, they have almost nothing else in common. Rust is multi domain language design to be as versatile as possible, very intentionally limited with a set of carefully chosen constraints. Not intended to be particularly easy or quick to use, by design. Go is very clearly web-biased, centered for backend, microservices, not universal by design. Syntax very C like, verbose, feels low level, but actually batteries included. Really, the only thing in common with rust is that it is very popular with developers, but again for very different reasons. People who like rust often hate go and vice versa. You can tell by the comments in this thread too.

True, not much of the claims have been validated. But regardless, they’re saying they are releasing the product within a month, so if it is only hype to attract investors, they are either too late or they will be delaying the launch of the bike. Cause, the truth will soon be revealed.

They claim it lasts for 10k or more cycles. Lithium free and good across a wildly bigger temperature range than li Ion. Density beyond the best of li ion. 400Wh/kg. They will supposedly start delivering the first bikes with the battery next month. More test results next Monday. A lot of bold claims,some substantiates with these current tests, some apparently deliberately not. Like density could easily be determined if they only weighed the battery under test. But regardless, the truth will be revealed soon enough. I am enthusiastic, but I’m not investing, so I have nothing to gain/lose. We shall see.

Well, there’s hydrogen, but that has its own downsides. Like it’s a bit explody, for example.

That makes sense. It would only work if scarcity is not artificial, but naturally limited resource. Sort of like how worst thing that could happen to a country is they find oil.

I mean - I get all the jokes and everything, but wouldn’t this democratization of coca generally be a good thing to the world? At least it might be good for countries that now have a problem with illegal coca production. I don’t actually have enough info about that industry, but I would like to hear some opinions from people more familiar. Would the “democratization” of coca be a net benefit? Even if not legalized fully? Would it leech money from cartels/mafia?
