From the article: “It is unlikely the Department would ever pursue action against anyone using the Logan Act, given no one has been convicted of violating the 1799 law”

End of story.

Because you said that was not the point of the article and I asked you to clarify why you think it wasn’t. But never mind. This is going nowhere.

Why not? If the starting point of the article is that we can’t design interfaces based on our elitist 5 percenter knowledge then the remedy for that would be…?

I’m using a lepotato for Home Assistant. Works very well for months now, but I’m a bit worried about long term distro support

I wonder why user tests aren’t even mentioned once in the article. If you design an interface you have to test it with your audience

Nicht ganz. Ich habe schon mit eigenen Augen gesehen, dass der Inhalt des Papierformulars dann von einer Sachbearbeiterin in ein digitales Formular abgetippt wird.

Did you know you can edit your posts? Could be helpful for other readers since you were incorrectly posting in several messages that wine needs root access.

Correct, but the problem here is that apple products are extremely closed up. If they choose not to provide updates any more that’s totally fine, but they should enable developers to install a different os instead of turning the devices to e-waste. There are some projects trying to make a Linux installation possible on iPads, but so far they have failed due to apple’s gatekeeping.

I have an iPad from 2012 which would still be perfectly usable if Apple hadn’t marked this iPad Generation as “obsolete”, and of course it would be a security risk to use it without updates. However, if I could install Linux on it, there would no need to throw it away.

Guter Artikel, ich finde es immer wieder krass wie dreist diese Verpackungen als umweltfreundlich angepriesen werden.

Die Rücknahme von Getränkekartons an bestehenden Pfandrücknahmeautomaten im Handel ist technisch problemlos umsetzbar

Das glaube ich aber erst wenn ich es sehe… Die derzeitigen Pfandrücknahmesysteme sind alle auf Flaschenform ausgelegt, viele haben schon bei Flaschen in perfektem Zustand mit perfekt erhaltenem Etikett Schwierigkeiten, diese zu erkennen. Man darf gespannt sein was zuerst kommt: Selbstfahrende Autos, Flugtaxis oder die automatische Rücknahme von TetraPaks

The video’s title “worst car ever reviewed” was not as balanced though :D

This happened just this morning. Probably not the dumbest thing ever, and I blame Snap for putting things where they don’t belong: I deleted stuff from the /run/user/1000/doc directory. Turns out the files there are in fact hard links to files which actually reside somewhere else. Well, they were, until I deleted them forever.

Background: Firefox (as an Ubuntu snap package) downloads files in some kind of sandbox mode and references stuff there for some obscure reason. That was my weekly reminder to get rid of snap packages because snap sucks in a myriad of ways.

There is a german saying “bewachte Milch kocht nie” (watched milk never boils)

Nextcloud? As an enterprise grade solution? That’s just ridiculous, sorry.

Oh, I just updated manually and found the option “mark read on scroll”. That should fix it.

Thank you! Jerboa is by far my favorite Lemmy App. Good Work!

There are some media reports claiming that there was simply another unidentified participant in the conference call and they didn’t notice. 🤷

Ich hatte bei A…n Lilygo TTGO LoRa 868Mhz “Paxcounter” gekauft. Die funktionieren sehr gut. Die Heltec Esp32 LoRa V2 funktionieren im Prinzip auch, aber die haben gravierende Probleme mit dem Laden von Akkus. Kann ich nicht empfehlen. Und dann gibt es noch die wesentlich teureren Liliygo T-Echo, die haben GPS, und vor allem einen wesentlich stromsparenderen NRF52840 SoC statt Esp32. Die sind meist überall ausverkauft, aber dürften die beste Wahl für Meshtastic sein

Ich hab damit schon ein bisschen experimentiert. Im Frühling werde ich versuchen, einen “versteckten” Repeater mit Solar irgendwo unterzubringen, denn ich wohne in einer Senke und direkte Verbindungen zum nächsten Router sind nicht möglich. Wenn du Fragen hast meld dich gern mal.

I don’t agree to starting with cheap gear as always being a good choice. If you already know what good coffee tastes like and you like to get into the coffee game then buying a cheap (non burr) grinder is just a waste of money.
