I get the idea behind the law. Not once I was surprised how many waste is in packaging and badly packaged goods (not only shipped, but even available in local shop). But this regulation changes nothing, just adds layer of paperwork and broke international shipping (many non-eu stopped selling to eu - I hope it's temporary only…).
This is problem generated by govt, and they just want to solve it with "children safety" as excuse. This is parents problem, not my problem.
Sometimes I watch some reviews of newer cars, and numbers of beeping, comms on central screen, etc is just… overwhelming me. Watching video. Cannot imagine driving in that conditions.
Got cheaper version without case - designed simple box with cutouts and 3d printed it out.
I can say it works flawlessly. I'm very happy about it. Previously I was using openwrt on different consumer-grade routers and I always had some issues, even when selecting supported devices.
And that's the issue with all bad laws. They have to approve it once. We have to fight against indefinitely…
Personally I am at the moment that when I even slightly feel something may be AI output… I just stop reading. Sometimes it's just false positive, but there are some senstences / styling so ai-looking that I'm just tired off, even if its written by human.
In comments I see a lot about chatbots… Yep, it's just the worst of the worst. Most (all?) are just not helpful at all. Spinning around same things, but never ones you'd need. Sometimes I just feel they're programmed in a way to exhaust me to ditch and ignore the problem I had.
Quick ID check happened once - when I was traveling with bus across border.
Back in a days it was a lot, lot slower and more detailed.
It's not zero knowledge for me then. Also - if there is ANY possibility to track anyone. And/or centrally mark someone "nonverified" then it makes more problems than solves.
Even if I trust my govt (no way), even if it'd be fully ZK with no way to track anyone… still govt would have a way to just block some individual "because".
And the best part… Age verification will not solve "children problem". I think it's parents problem to take care of their children, AV will be pretty easy to bypass - kid will just borrow ID for a moment and… voila! Govts (or some people) are creating problem and solution that do not exists.
I do not like way internet went, I do not like more way it's headed now.
I would say it was… until everybody is connected to the internet all the time. I would love to get back to the internet from… around 2010? Something like that. IRC was still a thing (made a lot of friends there, many of them I know in person now), forums was still live, blogs were still worth to read and write (nowadays I see like most of ppl moved to fb/ln/x to post…).
When it got "crowded" it's stopped being government independent. Back in a day everyone was (pseudo)anonymous, and here - we're thinking about age restrictions, socials requesting ID/face scans… I do not like the ways it's moving.
And this is absolutely… bad. I mean requiring is good, but almost all of the execution of it is awfully bad.
It can be personal - but Hz of that sounds just makes me boil inside. That's how badly I'm receiving it. Almost no other sounds I hear on daily basis makes me uncomfortable.
And another issue - when somebody is parking the sound goes on, off, on, off, and that all the time until person is happy how car is parked. Couldn't it just make that sound all the time? Would be easier to get used to it. Same way it works with PC fans - there is no benefit to keep it as lowest as possible at all times, the trick is to keep it spinning fast enough to avoid as many changes of speed as possible - keeping the noise constant and easier to live with.
In Poland our original productions have so badly mixed sound that in almost none series in my native language I cannot understand without captions.
But the upside of it is - with English being my second language - I understand most of movies/series I watched.
Next time when the fuse switch in my home I'll buy new home. I shouldn't normally switch on auto-fuse again!
Fuse blows, so you know something went wrong, you check corresponding part, fix it, and enable/change fuse. Nothing special. In home perspective - it could be plugging too many energy needy receivers into one outlet.
I want it with all the pros and cons, just to try it.
But this goes with assumption that one already know docker compose spec. For exact same reason I'm in love for `podman kube play` to just use k8s manifests to quickly test run on local machine - and not bother with some "legacy" compose.
(I never liked Docker Inc. so I never learned THEIR tooling, it's not needed to build/run containers)
This.
I'm living in EU, thinking about getting some pickup. Just want to try this kind of vehicle (and I would love to transport my motorcycle, building materials etc). But I want something small - it looks like almost non-existent market here (there are cars like older f150, s10, etc - but very, very limited offers). Everyone gets the big modern trucks, that are unusable in our tight spaces.
But… having (not so often updated) blog myself - I will try to change my behavior in future and mention it somehow during interview ;)
I see here and there some comments about someone was scammed, etc… Lack of knowledge of users is not a good reason. They still will get scammed, in a different way, but outcome will be the same.
On PC one can install whatever want - and nobody is blaming OS for it.
While I understand it… there is no need for any exemption if the bad, stupid law will not be in place at all ;)
And the worst part - EU is so democratic that we even do not elect most of the people.
Even if it is ZKP still… whole idea is just bad. I mean whole age-veryfication done by gov is bad.
And forcing one to use smartphone is even worse.
I'm using GUI File Manager only for multimedia (photos, movies, pdf files).
