People act as if it was a bug and not a feature. This was intended. After people sufficiently make fun of the current solution that everyone knows how easily it is broken, the next step is requiring both ID and face scan and comparing photo on ID with face scan. Congrats, privacy is removed completely. Every poster is now tied with real life identity.

Yes, it’s a dumb idea. I imagine the idea is that you can tell if an email is from a government domain or not.

You seem surprised that this is how losing trust works. If people don’t trust you will keep your promises, then it doesn’t matter what you promise them.

That being said, there are thing they can do that are not just virtue signalling.

And yet the article cites no source for this and as far as I can tell, there is no official source excluding Iran. Only the same BS that ammo is usually not carried during excersises which obviously does not apply to live-fire excersises, which Milan 2026 was.

So unless you are suggesting we should be trusting what Iran says, I revert back to there is a good chance it had some ammo.

More importantly, what does it matter? The US military wouldn’t have known for sure whether the ship had ammo or not and no reason to check. Even if it did not have ammo at the time, it would just re-arm in Iran. It was a legitimate target regardless, just like a bomber returning home after dropping bombs is a legitimate target, even if it does not carry bombs at that time. If you let it go, it will pick up more bombs and bomb you again.

PS: No idea why people feel the need to make shit up to paint the US in a bad picture. You want evidence of a US warcrime?

US secretary of war Pete Hegseth has said that “no quarter” will be shown to Iran

There it is. Just making that statement is a violation of the Geneva conventions. This is because it discourages surrendering, by suggesting surrenders will not be accepted/treated well, which in turn results in more deaths than necessary.

Let’s put aside the stupidity of the idea that they should have allowed it to re-arm first and risk US lives for no reason.

The training mission had a live fire component, so the ship was definitely armed during a portion of the excersise. Unless they ran out of ammo or something weird happened, it was armed.

Why would you think there is anything wrong with them? They now get to scalp people with outrageous prices for the 20% they are selling. If the AI sloppanies pay, they made big sales. If the slop producers producers are unable to pay, they will sell the reserved stuff for normal or even slightly elevated prices. It’s win-win. Basically an excuse for industry wide price-fixing.

1. Android is a Linux distro
2. Most people, me included, don’t want to run normal Linux on their phone. I use Linux on the desktop. I don’t hate Linux or anything of the sorts. But for phone use, normal Linux sucks major ass. What we need is GrapheneOS to be normalized and independent app stores for GrapheneOS.
3. The above is not to say Linux phones are bad for everyone. I am sure there are few people who would enjoy it, but they are the minority.

It’s trying to squeeze through a legal loophole. They have to allow apps from outside their appstore. But law does not explicitly say they can’t require them to be verified by google first.

Also, since when does the FCC have jurisdiction over wired routers? Like the post text explicitly says they will not authorize radios, which wired routers don’t have…

And by that you mean America allowed it’s companies to secretly aid Hitler until Japan touched Americas boats and Hitler declared war on America?

Surprise decentralized backup.

I mean, if you want to call it a beef, go ahead. But it’s not like it is an unreasonable request, since it is necessary to make sure short pins used by most people are at least a bit secure.

GrapheneOS had security requirements and they offered to help Fairphone implement them, but Fairphone refused. Apparently they are not interested in their users security and privacy. So I won’t be touching Fairphones with a 10ft stick.

Motorola was interested and should be launching a phone with GrapheneOS preinstalled at the end of 2026 or in 2027.

Yes but also no. Bit flips will happen unless you have rad-hardened computers but apparently, bit-flips are not really too problematic for LLM training. I guess when correct answers are optional, correct buts are as well.

Now instead of asking to verify age, make the parents input the age bracket and you reinvented parental controls. The correct way to protect children.

Please see the edit with clarification, since I guess I wrote it poorly and multiple commenters did not get my point.

Please see edit of my comment. Since it seems my point did not get across, I elaborated. Of course there are plenty right now since there are no barriers yet.

While it does not affect them directly, it is unlikely most app developers will give significant effort to only support a small percentage of Android users running custom ROMs. So while GrapheneOS users will be able to install apps, there will likely not be that many apps to install.

Edit: What I mean is that most applications will have to choose to either agree to google terms and identify themselves, or develop only for custom ROMs, or stop developing altogether. And I don’t think many will choose the 2nd option. Also, 1st option may not be available if google does not like your app.

It is also possible the (lower level) prosecutors are not really on-board with Trumps BS and are not really trying to convince the grand juries. Just doing the bare minimum to keep their job.

Unies are usually not free for non-citizens. At least not where I live.
