  • Know what? I'll bite. Let's have a civil discussion how this is either actually beneficial to 'save the kids' or, on the other hand, this is just the first step of a process designed to force full surveillance at the OS level, now that people are finally starting to care a bit about their privacy.

    If it is to do something to keep the kids away from harm (you mentioned to reduce manipulation of kids) how does spinning 3 wheels with numbers, attached to no verification whatsoever, help? This is that useless 'Are you over 18?' pop-up all over again, where you just click 'yes' and move on with whatever it is you wanted to get away with. So, on that front, unless this is designed to put undue extra responsibility and work on the OS developers, this makes no sense (of course, I'm more than willing to hear you counter this theory).

    Now, if it's just that first step, the politicians trying to see what else they can get away with pushing on the population, one step at a time, next they will add 'the OS will require a picture of the user holding an ID to confirm the entered date of birth, but it will remain local, the OS will just reply yes or no to the apps requesting the info'. Then it'll be 'will be sent to a government database for safeguarding', and so on until you no longer can get away from not showing your face and ID to everyone out there.

    Anyway, which one makes more sense to you, honestly?

  • No, they don't. Fuck them and everything they stand fkr.

  • It's not this law, it's the precedent and how it'll be used sd leverage later to push super invasive and manipulative shit.

  • Or better yet, show me a picture shooting that head out of a Canon against a huge roach in a data center.

  • They gave payment data to the authorities, because, guess what, they HAVE to provide whatever is subpoenaed. Did they provide emails, IP addresses? Doesn't say any of that. There's the option of paying with crypto, but the imbeciles that know they are going to be at risk of being found, paid with a credit or debit card.

    404 media is more of the same sensationalism laden bullshit out there. Make a fucking Strom out of a drop of water.

  • You're exactly at the perfect level to start getting your feet wet without losing productive time (as long as you don't go on a distro-hop frenzy 🤣).

    Weirdly enough, you're way ahead of 99% of the tech-using population worldwide.

  • It's unlikely that fact will change the repairability of the devices. They risk too much by posting biased and false information on that end.

  • Lol. I do break the law some times by speeding, but have almost no tickets, so that's a win, haha.

  • I can attest that the blade battery doesn't seem to care if you take it all the way to 100% or drop it as low as 5% regularly. I've had my car for over 3 years now, and the battery degradation has been negligible. I've lost 1% over all this time, and both our cars (BYD HAN and Tang) are consistently allowed to drop under 10% before we decide to go charge them back to 100%. Granted, we live in the Caribbean, so we don't have to deal with cold weather ever.

  • Sounds about right. My experience in range difference is very similar.

  • Right. Open road should be more around 770Km. I have a BYD Han 2023 that has a claimed range of 550Km, and I get just about 420Km realistically, at a steady 110Km/h with a few bursts of up to 150Km/h to get away from idiots doing 80 on a 100 (or just to show off the torque to other types of idiots like BMW and some Tesla drivers 😏). I do still get a bit over the claimed 550 if I don't leave the city and drive as if I was afraid of tickets.

  • Welcome to serenity in the middle of the storm. Isn't it great at first boot after install where you only have a clean canvas with a couple of apps and absolutely no bloat?

  • Google pay will not work. As for the banking apps, it'll depend on how the app is implemented. I can pay with my Chase app, but no Google pay (yes, I tried, Sue me 🤣)

  • Absolutely not. You can choose whatever sources you want (your mileage may vary). You have the option to block location and just add the name of the cities you want to keep an eye on as well. It's a delight to use.

    I use Openweather as my source for most data points.

  • You can get it from F-Droid, but I prefer to use Obtainium to install from the original git for as many apps that have the releases in the git repo.

  • That's 'Brezzy Weather'. Has been my favorite weather app for a couple of years.

  • OK, ready to be a guinea pig for another nice self-hosted service. Just let me know what you want to test from now on, and I'll freely do so, break it if necessary, and try to put it back together.

    Thanks, this is pretty cool.

    Also, as others have mentioned, a bit of on how to configure the .env file and other modifications to the docker-compose.yml is always a good idea to make sure people that may not be as tech savvy have some idea on how to troubleshoot. For example, in the .env file the instructions on the 'App URL' are clear to me, and evidently to you, but I know of many that would not be able to get it to work over a cloudflare tunnel, for example, only because they wouldn't touch this part.

    Just something to keep in mind.

  • I use LO for all my Office Suite needs. When I have to share with someone that uses MSO, I just run it through Only Office, see if it keeps the way I want to share it, and call it a day. Also, I make sure I have all the MS fonts installed.

  • You don't. Enjoy better, faster and more effective software and laugh when their shot breaks.

  • Very wise. I approve.
