Why not? Are my posts not good enough for you Mr Bluesky?

This is fucking hilarious, best news I’ve heard in forever.

Is IPFS something your family and friends check on regularly? I don’t even know what it is.

Considering your reluctance to give any information about your assertion that such a project using it becomes useless, I’m not sure you know what it is either :P

Probably the Tories

How is it gonna nag me to upgrade to Windows 11 when I don’t have a TPM?

I’d love to upgrade, the system is completely capable of running it, but because it doesn’t have a useless bit of hardware I can’t. Fuck em.

Why not just open the door with the key like every car ever

Nothing about how viable it will be to bring to market, if ever, just discussing R&D without much content.

Potentially always good to see these sorts of improvements :-) Is just not that impactful until they can make it useful. If it’s 50 years away from being producible at scale? Eh. If it’s only 6 months away and can drop in to existing pipelines? Hell yeah!

Huh? What if you’re installing windows on a machine with no internet connection? Which is an entirely normal legitimate thing to do. It’s not a requirement after all.

I have a number of machines that use a local account, they don’t need a Microsoft account and will never be linked to one, it’s unnecessary.

a normal box joint or even a rabbit joint is actually stronger

For anyone confused I looked it up, a rabbet joint is what they call a rebate joint in the USA. Learn something new every day! :-D

Can I? The article only mentions American regulations and laws regarding flamethrowers (and even admits that those laws may restrict the sale or use of these weapons platforms).

Makes no mention of European laws. Somehow I’m doubtful that weapons heavily controlled by geneva protocols, mounted to drones, are legal for civilian use here. I’m surprised they’re even okay over there!

(Outside of specialist equipment for trained and qualified civilian personnel, I’m sure someone somewhere still uses them as a defoliant for example, as unwise as that seems given all the wildfires these days…)

…in the USA. Doesn’t affect us over the pond, but very important for USA users to take note.

Oof, they don’t have net neutrality over there eh?

Gonna be bollocks for them until they can get that brought in. There’s an election coming up there right? Maybe they can vote for the party that pledges to bring in net neutrality laws, it’s about time they had them considering it’s 2024.

I wish them the best of luck <3

Damn that track is fire, I’m saving it to my music library 😂

Wish it was the whole thing!

That looks pretty useless unless you live in whatever country there based in though, which certainly isn’t the UK.

I use Flowx, it’s customisability and access to so many excellent weather predictive models please me greatly.

I disagree. I bought a smart light bulb a few years ago and it has been a fantastic investment!

Uses way less power than a normal incandescent bulb, lasts waaayyyyyy longer, has lots of different colours and white colour temperatures, has schedules that it runs through every day based on sunrise and sunset… I never have to turn it on or off or adjust it!

It’s fantastic, I bloody love it. LIFX.

One of the best investments I’ve made this decade, absolutely.

Oh and don’t forget LIFX bulbs don’t require any hubs, and there’s a python library available to do local LAN API stuff, no need to speak to a remote server if that’s not your jam.

changing European Union citizens’ experience with phones, apps, browsers and mor

Hmm, I’m an EU citizen but don’t live in the EU, I assume I won’t benefit from this?

How exactly does Lemmy remain in compliance with laws regarding, for example, a user’s right to have all data associated with their account deleted (right to erasure, etc), or ensure that it is only kept for a time period reasonable while the user is actively using your services (data protection retention periods, etc)?

It’s not a big deal for me, just strange to think Lemmy of all places would be built to be so anti user’s data rights. The user is ultimately the one that decides what is done with their information/property, after all.

Aeroplane mode is incredibly, incredibly useful, I use it a lot and I’m almost never on an aeroplane haha.

Now you listen here, Sins only came out a couple of years ago in 2012, that was what, …5 years ago? See, not so bad!

(Side note Sins is fantastic and I hope once the new one is out of early access that it will be a similarly fantastic game)
