speaking of that, there was a userscript that is able to find the same post on other instances, I should look it up, in case it can also work with posts of offline instances

yes. ban them. they are already illegal in civilized countries for recording people without their expressed consent.

ok, maybe I wasn't clear, ban them from public spaces, including venues. you can use it at home if you want, and at your friends if they don't send you home for it.

folks who need translations

they can point their phones' focused camera on the text they want to translate.

for disabilities, we need to research tools that allow affected people to exist more freely while being compatible with privacy.

yes, I'm also against artificial eyes that work electronically or can connect to an electronic system

not really. AR glasses don't have to be aware of your surroundings, they can just place content relative to where you look, and they can use a gyroscope as a compass for more advanced things. maybe there are other sensors that would be useful too while being compatible with privacy.

of course they won't be able to place apps on your fridge, or run search on anyone coming by on the street, but it can still be very useful

it does not, as my phone, and afaik most phones don't support it.

messenger.com does not work on mobile, except if you switch your browser to desktop mode. It's quite hard to use it, even lots of text become smaller, so lots of people wouldn't keep using that

it sounds good, until you realize that it needs not only AR glasses, but one with built in cameras.

such glasses need to be banned yesterday. AR glasses are obviously not the problem, but basically walking always on cameras are

you can delete the calendaring and contacts apps

snapshots, clones, or automated setup with ansible or such

I don't think everything uses some kind of premade file index. Whenever I start up everything, it starts with indexing all my drives, one by one, churning them at 100% if I look at the task manager but everything even says so in the bottom left corner. it even stores hundreds of megabytes of that index in memory.

what it actually does, as I know, is that instead of going through the slower filesystem APIs, it first scans the MFT with its admin rights, and then listens for any changes through the usn journal. so it does quite some work, because afaik both of these are publicly undocumented, and then it even implenents a very quick search for the index that even supports pattern matching

what do you mean by off network? on the wifi of a different home's network, that has internet access?

the wireguard client on your laptop is supposed to give the laptop (and the laptop only) access to your home network, and the reverse proxy running on the laptop is supposed to give local devices access to services at home selectively, by listening on port 443 on the local network, and processing requests to services that you defined, by forwarding them through the vpn tunnel.
this requires that a machine at home runs a wireguard server, and that its port is forwarded in your router

that's the same thinking that those apply who say people don't need jack connectors, mind you

or that yes, but I often don't want to give the whole network access to my home network for security reasons, so that's something to consider

someone who is often listening to music with their phone and wired headphones, or even just when arriving at home from work, is going to use both the charger and the jack at the same time frequently.

another scenario is if the person uses their phone as the microphone for their PC.

you can argue that both must be rare because you have never seen them done, that's my exact opinion about wireless charging

which client is it that does not tell the reason?

I agree, but SSH is more secure than Jellyfin. it shouldn't be exposed like that, others in the comments already pointed out why

and a local reverse proxy that can route through wireguard when you want to watch on a smart tv.

its not as complicated as it sounds, it's just a wireguard client, and a reverse proxy like on the main server.

it can even be your laptop, without hdmi cables

how many times does the average person use wireless charging? Seriously, I haven't seen anyone do that yet, or know of someone who uses that.

and yet that's still a major feature in lots of phones

Technically it is recording for the preview in OBS, which I think goes on even when OBS is not visible, and I assume involves constant copying and downscaling with whatever FPS, but it shouldn't be encoding until you hit record. but if you check the CPU usage of OBS, maybe also GPU with nvtop, you can see how much it affects your hardware.

I would imagine it's not too bad, but still it would be better if it would let the machine idle as it should.

try Firefox

I don't know, matrix bridges exist, and while stability is a problem, a bigger one is that I don't want my messages to be sent to facebook services at all.
