Just guessing - maybe that re-delivery from telcom is the cause as message reception is never acknowledged?

What do you mean no law mandating permanent camera?

ChatControl 2.0 is exactly "all messaging must be intercepted and monitored" ...

Some of it probably is a slippery slope argument however that slippery slope has materialized already in other areas ... And security plays a role here as well. Maybe the camera/software/system is mandated not to identify driver (as is written in ADDS "spec") but atrocious security the modern car has would probably allow for that somehow...

Ordering a taxi after running outside of US? Probably missed some mass transport. Raise the price boys... like good old Uber back in the day based on iphone battery level. Really the possibilities are endless if you're evil.

Bad health? Raise the insurance premiums? Or anything more evil I can't think of.

edit: grammar

All of mine, but I guess I'm an exception to the rule.
maybe eff.org would be able to help you lawyer up or otherwise to push this forward. good luck!
Re:Linux boxes via SSH: suspended when disconected on Friday January 16, 2026 @05:02AM (#46644851)
WDYM lost? do you roam? I used to have a job with simple OpenVPN to connect to the servers (via public IP, just routed through the VPN tunnel) and ssh connections stayed during my trip from office to home. Probably needs both sides not to be overly aggressive with keepalives and such. VPN just reconnected at home, but tun0 device and its local ip stayed the same, ssh connections also stayed.

If you do not roam other side may do TCP keepalives or even ssh protocol keepalives and close the connection for you. Unless you can tune that, not much to do.

Other solutions might be mosh (mobile shell; haven't tried) or just running screen or tmux on the other end and just resume where you left of after quick reconnect.

I do use such an approach and it is actually awesome however only for data I'm sure I don't mind being sold.

I use tmux in all my terminal sessions. It can search. It's not grep, but 95% of the time it's enough and the 5% I capture the output to a file myself using tmux's it's copy/paste function. I wouldn't mind such functionality if it wasn't mouse-based. But switching terminal just for this not. But seeing an idea executed it always nice.
Delete word is "swipe left on backspace". The autorepeat is definitely something I'd like to see too.
Re:The Future Dominance of Solar and Wind Energy on Wednesday January 11, 2023 @03:22AM (#34336317)
Depends on when, that's why we need gas and other dispatchables. We've no grid-scale energy storage as of now. So saying they're cheaper isn't comparing apples to apples.
I love LD_PRELOAD hacks, too bad it is less & less binaries that can be "hacked" like this.

I've deleted Revolut some time ago because of that. Well, they've since reversed their stance. Not sure why but now it works with Lineage.

I'm planning to test (but I hate reinstalling) https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk for safetynet whatnot.

But lack of kernel updates is pita and absolutely true :(

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halicin - a recently (2019) discovered ATB with "an unusual mechanism of action" has been found to be effective against Acinetobacter Baumanii in mice. Found using deep-learning.
I believe these types of arguments should start with "What about..." sir. Also not sure how we got to fossil plants...
I think this argument has been here for millennia. Move forward or back to the roots... In this case I look forward, but thanks to some really good PR (and possibly well paid) it seems natural-gas backed renewables are winning at the moment.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling_wave_reactor is supposed to be the solution.

A company called TerraPower is planning to build a test reactor soon.

Rare-earth extraction is pretty nasty

Re:Automatically generate docstrings for your Python function on Saturday February 05, 2022 @08:46AM (#30220911)
Basic programming course teacher on uni told us that if we ever make such an obvious comment/docstring we'll be failed at the speed of light, no second chances.

His example was: "i++ // add 1 to i"

Tried all browsers I have. Captcha doesn't even pop up.
