That's what "The problem is it's difficult to verify all the promises are being kept, and if they're not it instantly becomes a true dystopia" is about.

I'm glad they mention privacy preserving and being voluntary. It's possible to make digital ID that allows selectively revealing attributes without identity, and that could solve problems like bots, socketpuppets, etc along with r

This is painful because I've worked in public consultation and privacy focused digital identity. I was at a party last week, and a non tech person said it would be better if there was no new tech.

What's the incentive for people to participate in file sharing networks? To some degree it's access to a world of free media (same as access to a world of decentralized identities), but to a large degree it's an interesting h

Court reports should as much be about human sensibility. I have met plenty of high IQ people who were insensitive.

Not sure why I was downvoted. I legitimately need this for a demo.

OK but I need a Linux with GUI that is less than 1.44MB so it works with my floppy disk.

Difficult to say exactly, and that's part of the problem, which is why my comment is about not being dependant on closed foreign companies.

I always assume, unfortunately, that once companies start to get to a certain point they become strategic, and military applications comes into play. They then probably get special consideration when it comes to funding and access. All of M

I completely support not being dependant on a foreign company (or any company at all, standards FTW) and I don't think there should even be a shadow of possibility that an organization like the ICC could be cut off from services due to

32 GB GDDR6 VRAM through a 256-bit memory bus. Not the fastest, but could shake things up if it is available at this price.

It can use only 96GB RAM on Windows, on Linux people have allocated up to 120GB. Here's one source: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1nmlluu/comment...

It's interesting how much Slashdot has receded, but I really like its predicate scoring system, as well as the ability for people to post anonymously.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I think emulating a physical screen in a virtual field of view is the wrong way to do this. Why introduce off-axis viewing and all the other unnecessary weirdnesses? What if the entire field of view wer

There are still plenty of people in that group who don't want performance vehicles, highways, McMansions &c. Not only are there people who didn't "benefit" from that environment, there are many people who chose to fo

This is deeply unfair. Plenty of people, including those responsible for more focus on environment and human rights, are in that age group. They are leaders and allies. Ageism is just another way divide society.

KDE Connect is an open source party pack of system to system tools. Another option is to block ads using Netguard.

Thank you dang! I guess it felt like a thousand lost points cumulatively in the moment, but knowing some people, especially such a thoughtful person as yourself, appreciate diverse posts makes a high karma score wonderfully inconsequential.

Maybe they do now, but I remember losing a lot more than that for that comment. I recall it was just after I made a comment that received a lot of upvotes, which were more than wiped out by having a critical view of the ultimate morality of

I don't like the word "karma" because it's often, for better in worse, group affinity (and we are most often trajectories rather than pure insight). I often find minority views and unexplored paths interesting, even when

But you make sure to find homes for the replaced devices, right? And that future owner will appreciate longer battery life.

The way I see it is the web was supposed to transform into the Semantic Web in 2000. What that means is you can give everything an identifier and create any type of relationship, turning the entire web into a database designed for a type of

Between preserving a 'compound' (presumably by a wealth private person) and converting it back to three properties and homes, I'd want to see the latter.

True, but it "came from" KDE and is pretty deeply baked in.

KDE is not just more configurable, they pack incredible innovation, like KDE Connect. Not to mention their semantic desktop ideas, which have been watered down post Nepomuk, nearly 20 years later still ahead of its time. It's the best

That's what I think of, along with favour from their new investment sibling, the US government. AMD doesn't want to be super competitive, they like their margins and being second choice in a hypetastic market. Even though Arc has

Is it really "usually?" I think that people often think of the worse cases (Argentina, etc). Looking at https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG?most_rec... , the US is at 103, there are 102 countri

I'd never thought of ATMs scanning the serial numbers of cash, but that makes sense. However, and maybe this isn't leading practice, but stores just seem to put cash in a collective cash drawer, so they can't exactly tell wha

Obviously avoiding surveillance can be a bigger red flag than being surveilled. I use a google account for convenience for some purposes, and host my own email (out of principle, not exactly super interesting material). It would be nice if

For the past decade my home server is also my desktop workstation. According to canon people shouldn't do this because the workstation might crash or be updated more frequently or create conflicting resource usage, but with containers
