If you replaced every vehicle with an electric airplane the electricity needed would be astronomical.

But in order to get the money for those programs, especially if their effect is to lower the workload for police, you should get the money from the police budget, otherwise it’s just wasted money. Are you just going to keep giving the NYPD a billion dollars a year to do nothing?
Yeah, but that’s just the kernel. Anything above that (window manager, the utilities that they didn’t outright copy from BSD, apps, …) is basically closed source.
One thing it claimed was the ability to rewrite copy. Basically finally an improvement over spellcheck which has been the same for like 20 years. Would be nice to have something better built into the OS in every text field.
You could also have stuff like suggestions in your terminal when you’re starting to write a command based on what’s in the man pages and the layout of your filesystem.
Yep, the recommendations at the end of the article are definitely worth following regardless.
Definitely worked for me.
Damn, even your slurs get maximum privacy.
That’s really only in theory. I don’t think there’s any country where the government does what the polis wants in every instance.
Pretty sure Twitter strips it out by default.
You can use your own domain and set a CNAME to any of the DDNS ones. So eg. home.mydomain.com can be a CNAME for oliper.ddns.com.
Those ones belong in a pond, preferably in a Tesla.
I guess I should’ve started with the wiki article, which spells out he was working off the erroneous assumption that the atmosphere was somehow more conductive than it really is.
Anyway, thanks for the interesting discussion.
Yeah, obviously induction charging has been around (and is easy enough to monetise), but he was famously trying to build a way to transfer electricity over long distances, and I’m assuming this isn’t possible without incurring huge losses.
Agree on all you said about Edison, he basically was that eras Elon Musk, taking credit for the work of others.
I guess since we still don’t have wireless transmission there were probably physical limitations to what he was trying to do. You would think someone would’ve tried it in the century since.
I don’t think there was a huge capitalist conspiracy to stop this from happening unless someone can point me to something that says otherwise.
I mean, in a lot of ways he didn’t care about the economics of his inventions. He wanted to transfer electricity wirelessly across huge areas and there really wasn’t a way to monetise that if everyone could just tap into that.
In a communist society you could build something like that, in capitalism you’re not going to find an investor to do this.
It looks like a state actor, but hard to tell who. The way they did it was by bullying the original overworked maintainer into making someone else a co-maintainer, and that new co-maintainer introduced the backdoor. The accounts that pressured him into adding another maintainer all appear to have been sock puppets.
It just shows how little support there is for the lone maintainers of basic utilities that we all use, and it’s really something we need to do something about.
Unfortunately it’ll take 10 years to build the printer.
Maybe initially, when nobody knew about it. I bet it’ll be reverse engineered and filtered down to script kiddies soon, if it hasn’t already. If your server is affected, you should definitely fix it or even reinstall.
If needed you could use a subdomain from a free dyndns provider. And if you’re going to be self hosting stuff having your own domain is probably good anyway.
