  • The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software

  • Fascinating. I knew about the key fob but not the little pedometer looking thing.

    I wonder how it actually works, since a lot of it is integrated into apps and I don't see a spot to instead type a code. I'll have to play with it

  • There's a post about this on the Danish community here every few months. Afaik no one has any proper progress on it other than carrying a burner device or something

  • I do, but as far as I was aware my Fairphone can't run Graphene? I would love to keep using my Fairphone over buying Google's hardware at this point

  • What? You can't use an alternative app. It's government issued identification and required for life here.

    I (and as far as I can tell, all others) can't get it to work outside of android

  • For me, MitID in Denmark. 100% required for society and life here, requires Google Play Services now :(

    I tried e/os on my Fairphone for a bit. I think I could make it all work okay enough besides that. I should write people at the government or something I guess?

  • The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home.

    Jump

  • I used to have a drive to work, and it suckkkkkkkkkked. I moved, and can now cycle to work or take a nice train. I suddenly do not mind my 30 minute commute at all. I look forward to my bike ride most of the time, and I love the feeling after having done it.

  • Denmark demands US answers to new Greenland allegations

  • Idk what the OG comment was but I'm American and live in Denmark and absolutely no one has even accused me of being trumpy or even been negative that I'm American. More so its "oh so sorry your country is a shit show and wow how terrible for your friends and family still there"

    People are pretty well educated here and understand that half of Americans fucking hate what's going on

  • God I hope this is true

  • I say "why are you wet?" All the fucking time to my cat. He loves jumping in the shower after we've showered

  • Google will require developer verification for Android apps outside the Play Store

  • American company Americanly doing some American shit:

    What is this, Asia??

  • is there any legitimate use of blockchains?

    Jump

  • Totally agree. And my problem with the example of land use that a single entity (the government where the land is) will be the sole enforcer of it. So who cares if the information is slightly less centralized, when the actual product is just as centralized as ever?

    What stereotypes about your country do you actually happen to fit?

  • What's the worst change made in a movie adaptation of a book?

    Jump

  • A few of the visuals in the movie were stunning to me!

    I also didn't mind it in either medium. It's not like it's a novel of a generation. Fun silly book, fun silly movie

  • Oooo as someone who has seen the movie and never read the book, any sales pitch for me for the book?

  • Well, We’ll Always Not Have Half-Life 3

  • And Metroid Prime 4! I've waited since the last one in 2007, and they started the hell over in like 2021 or something

  • Is It Just Me?

  • True, but the grifter crowd has the internet as a medium and is larger and more empowered than ever

  • I'm calling it now– it's quantum computing.

    I have some friends who work in it, and I've watched and read damn near everything I can on it (including a few uni courses). It is neat, it has uses, it will not install transform all computing or invalidate all security or anything like that. It's gonna be oversold as fuck.

    3 blue 1 brown has great videos on it. Grover's Algorithm, the best we can think to try to apply, is √N faster than traditional computing. Which is a lot faster for intense stuff like protein folding, but it's linearly faster. SHA256 encryption still would take an eternity to brute force, just a smaller eternity.

  • The movement looks great! I cannot wait

  • Those who left tech for greener pastures, what do you for work now? What was the transition like?

    Jump

  • I'd say that was a lot of what I was interested before I got into this. Car work, house stuff, fixing small appliances and machines. It really piqued my interest from a young age and that's still by and large true today.

    Without getting on too high a soapbox here, I'll say that job opportunities for me have been plentiful in this career path, and I've gotten to work in a lot of different places. We even moved permanently from the US to the EU because of it.

    I feel automation is more stable and more hands on than comp sci or software, but that comes with more in-office or field/plant work and less working from home or the beach. The actual work is a lot of PLC/SCADA/HMI stuff, lots of importance in understanding complex electromechanical systems and how they need to work. Of course, like any field, there's good and bad jobs in it. It does fit the way I like to think and work quite well though.

    I think comp sci could be a good field too, like you said: depends on the niche. But it, like many other things, will be around in some capacities for a long time
