@shuttersparks @billyjoebowers Yes, but please spank them, without spanking the rest of the planet.

@fiore @Rairii @ifixcoinops With IPv6 technically all devices would (or could at least be) directly addressable.So currently, at best you have a situation that a household is sharing one IPv4 address that is multiplexed by the Wifi router (or that even happens at the ISP level where many customers share addresses).IPv4 devices are basically, because of address space scarcity and NAT doomed to be "clients" to servers that have real reachable IP addresses.

@fiore @Rairii @tauon @ifixcoinops Or put differently, you get assigned a bigger private subnet in IPv6 when you connect to it, for your home LAN, than the whole IPv4 address space. about 65000 times of the whole IPv4 address space.The back side is, that suddenly the device ID (the last bits) can become privacy invading finger printable visible.

@icing @pluralistic The problem is that the WTO/WIPO made enforcing IP rights a fundamental requirement of trade law for >160 countries.Trust me, I looked for a place from which to sell some nice dedrm tools online, but DMCA style anti-circumvention legislation is embedded worldwide in local law.Even if Canada would go rogue (which would be great), other countries would be legally forced to stop these things at their borders.(Including payments.)

@joosteto @icing @pluralistic The EU is too legalistic for that.Related to the fact that it's not sovereign. It only exercises the sovereign powers the MS have delegated to it, in the way the treaties say. So it's a legalistic entity by its very nature.Its political side is only slowly developing. (OTOH, you have to admit, von der Leyen managed to organize her Asia trip surprisingly quickly after #Trump started his Crazy Redneck play.)

@stux Trivial, making cheaply US-made laptops.Import laptops as a whole.Disassemble them for the parts.Reassemble them from the cheap parts (because they were imported not as parts but as sub-assemblies of a laptop).Laptop made (assembled to be truthful) in the USA.Idiot #Trump happy, you get innovation price, and if you do it right potentially some nice subsidies from the the #Trumpregime for proving that making good cheap #USmade laptops is possible. 1/2

Really, speak with some Eastern Europeans that lived through the "funny" times post-communism, pre-EU.The Eastern Europeans were too poor for new Western cars, so they imported all kind of "used cars".And the governments tried to keep the worst out of the countries via tariffs. Sold one of our cars to some of these guys, and they literally de-assembled it on the trailer, explaining that currently the tariffs for "car parts" are so much lower than for "used cars". 2/2

@nixCraft That assumes that by the time that happens, reporting about a crash will not be considered treason by the Glorious Leader.

@publicvoit But yes, for the moment there is still #grapheneos and #fdroid even if Google has already announced their plans to kill them.

@hydrowalrus @publicvoit Ah, but:- our friends have already made the releases of the device trees for the newest Pixels into AOSP restricted.- and yes, probably on Graphene OS and others you'll be able to install APKs signed with keys that are not signed with the Google's key to rule them all, but how big is that community versus the whole Android world?

@publicvoit Actually, I'm not gifted at Portuguese, or according to the psychologist testing me, I'm not good at languages in general. OTOH, when it comes to abstract thinking, I'm quite gifted. And when it comes to 3D visualisation, according to that psycho-tante I'm actually very very good.But there is also a certain craftsmanship to it as the author claims sure, e.g. when I was 17 I nearly failed DG (3D geometry class). Why? Drawing technical 3D objects cleanly takes a repeating exercise.

Ironically, because I was good in the class, I generally skipped homework, so I didn't get the exercise because I needed to spend a surprising amount of extra time trying to stay positive in all these cool languages that we had to take.So the pupil the teacher always called to explain how to construct the drawing correctly, nearly failed the class because I was unable to draw cleanly during the exams.So yes, being gifted surprisingly helps.

That's why BTW, art universities in Austria are basically primarily the ones that have entry exams. To test if you are gifted enough.Regular universities might have exams if a study course is overrun to select "the best candidates" but generally we still have open access to universities.Which brings as back to certain historic tragedies and the most infamous denaturalized Austrian postcard painter. The guy was clearly German, we have selected Mozart, you can keep the postcard painter. 🤷

@publicvoit Nothing new.Europe is full of small countries and countries that have not yet realized that they are small.

@publicvoit Yeah, upgrading Debian is fun.The real #Unix experience.Debian should (only for upgrades) provide the full source code of the next release for self-compilation on a tape, and mail it to anyone wanting to upgrade, for full nostalgia :)Sorry couldn't keep from posting, the sarcasm was too strong.

@publicvoit Well, Apple UI design isn't what it once was (if it ever was that great), as I've never used an iPhone I'd have to look around some time too (but then I'd not use Siri either)

@publicvoit Welcome to emoji hell: guessing what is available and what it's called. Especially the variations (e.g., skin color, etc.).🕵️ Anyway, Fcitx has it as "detective, not man_detective".

@publicvoit Yeah, old 🍎 did UX, new 🍎 does cute designs. Now UX is hard, serious work, and as a young guy I used to hate it (at uni); nowadays I admit I'm just not good at it and leave it to the colleagues who enjoy the work.With Apple my guess would be, they feel the pressure to have user visible changes with a release. Fixed that "long standing USB bug" is simply not good enough for the presentation upfront during these big Apple love fests.
