  • That is why they should pay. They advertised them as flushable and they most certainly are not.

  • You mean we pay? How about we take water back and make them pay for the clean up?

  • VirtioFS. You can share from the host to any number of VMs with that. LibVirtd is good. Even has a nice GUI in virt-manager.

  • I hadn't explored block lists on bsky. Just looked, and added a few, though it is seams focused on anti MAGA/fascist/racists stuff. Pressing subscribe to get to block is not initiative.

  • Clearly people want BlueSky for very different users cases than me. TBH, it's not been an issue for a while now, maybe because I've blocked so much of it when I started I guess.

    I always had "Show NSFW content" unchecked, so it should never have that shit come up.

    To be clearly, I don't support them doing this. Unchecking "Show NSFW content" should have always worked. If that doesn't work reliable, why will this identity verification privacy invasion.

  • "The laws in your location require you to verify you're an adult to access certain features."

    I've got kids who are always looking over my shoulder. This sounds like it will make my feeds safer. Cleaner feeds is threatening me with a good time.

    Is BlueSky really the place for that kind of thing anyway? I certainty don't like it popping up unannounced, on any platform.

    Edit: To be clear, I have no problem with it being announced on a platform. I object to it being unannounced on a platform where I have "Show NSFW content" unchecked.

  • Well, there are some very successful file sharing systems. That horse did bolt with Napster.

  • I hope your right. It's nice to see questioning of America tech gaint's monopolies finally now Trump is making America not seaming a safe supplier. More Europe than the UK, but even here, it's not as fringe to perceive the problem now.

    Not enough yet though. Amazon for example has a load of the market, avoids tax's and has loads of stuff that isn't really legal in the market because it doesn't meet the regs. Example, domestic socket EV chargers (granny leads) should be only up to 10A (as it consistent load and wiring quality varies), but most on Amazon are 13A and a few 16A! Hello house fire. Let alone fake CE marking and EMC emissions.

  • Yep when Napster just linked people who shared files between them, it was the end of the world. So it's fine when it's bigtech / AI?

  • My big problem is banks and satnav.

    SatNav need traffic info and there is none, so their routes are bad.

    Banks require apps to even use their website for "secure codes". Those apps try to detect ROMs and refuse to run, not even really being Android is going to make passing that harder.

    Let alone random things like parking apps where the app is the only way to pay.

    This is a political problem as much as technical. Competition is basically dead. We need government to step in and make competition possible. But they are in big tech's pocket and the status quo suits them too. Voters either don't care or believe what big tech says. It's a mess.

  • Organic Maps is great in many ways. It's maps are so much better. But the lack of traffic data is a killer for route planning in the UK. All the open source maps suffer this. There needs to be open access traffic information for there to be competition.
