Yes you are correct, I had the two reversed in my head.

Hangouts was built on xmpp, and used to allow federation. Yes xmpp still exists but it’s functionally dead.
I believe google hangouts and xmpp would like to have a word with you. There was probably a universe where federated xmpp was as ubiquitous as sms, but in this universe, google federated, brought users over with cool features, and then defederated when they had all the users.
If you want another example from the same company in modern times, look at chrome and http/css/js. Google’s chokehold on the web ecosystem with chrome means that whatever they do, everyone else has to follow suit or not be compatible with the browser that something like ~75-90% of users use
I’m a big fan of tiling window managers like i3 or awesome (awesome wm). Awesome is the one I use. It’s tiling and the entire interface is built from scripts that they encourage you to modify. Steep learning curve but once you get it how you like, there’s nothing like it.
There are a multitude of established, studied, simple changes that could be made to make things safer for pedestrians with relatively little needed in the way of sacrifice from car designers
Can you share some of these? I had a small stint in the auto design industry and am genuinely curious.
I’m way more worried about where the energy is coming from and what the true cost of storage is, rather than where I get it from. Every conversion/storage has an energy and materials cost. As bad as petrol burning is, I have to imagine coal burning + transfer loss has to be about as bad. Not to mention the nature of lithium cells.
We don’t need more charging stations to make EV viable, we need more nuclear power plants and cleaner battery tech first.
hence the omission I suggested unreasonable. That database needs to be updatable by the end user, trivially. IMHO could/should be done ad-hoc by a hobbyist or as part of a standard oil change every ~6mo.
“[an] integrated vehicle system that uses, at minimum, the GPS location of the vehicle compared with a database of posted speed limits, to determine the speed limit, and utilizes a brief, one-time visual and audio signal to alert the driver each time they exceed the speed limit by more than 10 miles per hour.”
Honestly the only part of this that is unreasonable is that it isn’t immediately followed with “the database updates will be maintained and provided in an open, unencrypted format for free for the life of the vehicle, and the tracking data cannot be used for any other purpose”. GPS is a one-way, triangulation-based signal. It doesn’t inherently track or leak anything. I think we would be a lot safer if we all could agree what speed to go.
Never change
Businesses “follow the constitution” here. The nuance is that the first amendment (freedom of speech) explicitly only applies to consequences from government. As a private corporation, the people running Harvard have the right to their own speech, in this case: a policy denying graduation, without consequence from the government.
I in no way endorse the speech that Harvard is expressing, but I do have the right to impose my own consequences on them for it (I.E not supporting things they do financially, disparaging them in an online forum like Lemmy, etc). The constitution prevents the US government from punishing Harvard for these actions in the same ways, unless a law has explicitly been broken.
I am not joking lol but I do sometimes forget most people don’t live in this space the same way I do. I think people use these names because the programs themselves are forked often and the software names are very unspecific otherwise. I meant to imply that I was using the main branches of these softwares.
I have this running at home on a used r630 (CPU only). oobabooga/automatic1111 for LLM/SD backends, vosk + mimic3 for tts/stt. A little bit of custom python to tie it all together. I certainly don’t have latency as low as theirs, but it’s definitely conversational when my sentences are short enough.
That was my first thought lmao
TL/DW for those of us who don’t learn well from video content?
I thought most surveys showed like 30-40% of israelis were in support of a single-state solution?
Yeah I’m really curious what his take is going to be on this one lol. Technically it doesn’t have a layer-2 capable bridge mode like other VPN solutions like openvpn, but that’s about all I can think of. It’s still objectively a virtual network, made private by a keypair exchange.
Probably just blindly paroting something someone told him. Awkward way to learn that one lmao.
Small fediverse lol
I would guess that it goes off of the lowest common denominator between IP address geo-location & billing address. If either of those say US, google/apple would probably be required not to distribute it.
It is possible to both be anti-chinese government and also want comprehensive privacy laws in the US. Like, I absolutely buy that the Chinese government has access to tiktok data. I, however, don’t think forcing a sale is the right way to deal with any of this. Comprehensive privacy and data collection laws would go much farther towards making it so it doesn’t really matter who owns what.
Sometime between now and September, obviously.
