Is musk derangement syndrome a thing?

Once you see it, it's preety funny how these people pick weird little hills to die on.

Society seems a lot more full of people trying to broadcast who they are from their opinions on stuff instead of what they've done.

Bingo!

Society seems to favor sociopaths who destroy everything for their own benefit.

Do you think DOGE has done something good or did it just help authoritarians to dismantle opposition?

Since Musk, Trump, Thiel & Co. started to implement their vision of a society the world turned to the worse. And they won‘t be the one who habe to endure the harsh consequences

Let’s ignore things like the pedoguy incident and his ridiculous defense it was South African slang.

Or how he helped dismantle USAID which leads to real death of people.

You’re being spoiled with not having a fake PR mask. He‘s just spared from real consequences because of his wealth. As soon as real consequences are at the horizon that changes pretty quickly. It just happens too rarely.

Not having a PR mask is because he doesn't care about cancel culture. I like that.

Cancel culture needs to stop, we are not a hive mind, everyone has different opinions.

No.

Ive got a q revo pro, which can dry the mops.

Happy with it but note that I dont have carpets, I guess for carpets you need something with more features.

I agree, and not in defense of Tesla but a 1mph collision while backing is something most human drivers are not going to report anywhere. That's why most cars have little scrapes and scratches on the bumpers and doors. Tesla should be more forthcoming with the full narrative of these incidents though.

And the 50% of banking apps still wont work because it wants an android signed by google.

And no tap to pay.

Hopefully the new EU banking system will work on Graphene and Ill switch back

I would put the focus on having capable web-banking. I never install the banking app on my phone.

I must also be getting old, because I don't get the big fuss about NFC payments. Firstly, I'd never use them if they go through Google/Apple. But even when/if they don't, it's not a big deal to use a card, isn't it (if you hate cash)?

Agreed about NFC, I'm happy to scan a QR code.

> But even when/if they don't, it's not a big deal to use a card, isn't it (if you hate cash)?

Card is usually linked to the US. Some people would like to not depend on that. But the rational solution IMO is for the banking system to use QR codes instead of NFC. Some countries do that and it just works.

> Card is usually linked to the US. Some people would like to not depend on that.

You have a point, and even though it looks like it will be a very corporate-driven system, and possibly dependent on Google or Apple, there seems to be an EU payment system on the making (if it ends up depending on Google or Apple, that will be the irony of leaving VISA/Mastercard to fall in the fangs of Google / Apple, but... oh well, one step at a time).

I think the name is Wero, it was on HN a few days ago.

Where do you get that number from? All the banking apps I've tried work on GrapheneOS.

> And no tap to pay.

There are countries where the payment terminals show QR codes, and banking apps work by scanning it. No need for NFC :-).

The new payment networks are not an independent app. They are a protocol your banking app has to implement, so unless your bank supports non-Google phones you are out of luck (not my case, thankfully).

Not even that. Most banking apps have a requirement that android is "certified" by google, ex. They won't run on GrapheneOS

Yep, I'm using Murena, a fork of Lineage OS but have to have a google account to use my banking app. I'm not even sure the bank understand this requirement exists.

Also played Odyssey 2 times, IMO the best one.

This is scary, but very likely in the future.

well if you buy Intel you should expect incompatible sockets at any step, so that's on you

on the other side AMD with legendary AM4

With nftables you need to learn a lot before you cam be partially sure of wbat you do.

With ufw gui you need a single checkbox - block incoming connections.

Not sure what you find difficult about it, but I just took the "workstation" config from the gentoo wiki and used it on my laptop.

Perhaps if you're doing more complicated things like bridging interfaces or rerouting traffic it would be more difficult to use than the alternatives, but for a simple whitelist it's extremely easy to configure and modify.
