  • By working with the real hardware vendor, they could apply for the certification, thus making the apps requiring the useless stamp from google work again.

    Well, except for those apps that specifically tries to blacklist graphene. Looking at you, Revolut!

  • What do you mean by "much less usable"? It's pretty much AOSP in terms of the UX, for better or worse.

  • Considering the raising popularity of authoritarianism, with a healthy dose of paranoia, it's not the criminals I worry about.

  • Nokia n900 could do it live, with a charger connected instead of a second battery.

    You disabled the watchdog, because root access was officially supported, turned the brightness way down, connected the charger, and finally swapped the batteries.

  • Did unraid implemented a true raid already, or is it still periodical sync like snapraid? If not, this kind if solution would be great for the multimedia library that does not change often, but I'd go for the more traditional raid for critical data.

  • Just as “magic spells” use special rhymes and archaic terms to signal their power, the convoluted language of legalese acts to convey a sense of authority, they conclude.

    In a study appearing in the journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers found that even non-lawyers use this type of language when asked to write laws.

    “People seem to understand that there’s an implicit rule that this is how laws should sound, and they write them that way,” says Edward Gibson, an MIT professor of brain and cognitive sciences and the senior author of the study.

  • They believe that the right amount of good spells recited in the correct order will grant them victory. Unfortunately they've studied a different magic book than most people, so their magic does not work on others.

  • 24 - 28 FPS

    If we continue the current trend, we could successfully transition to e-ink screens without any noticable performance penalty in less than a decade. The future is exciting!

  • Valve, as they aren't actively trying to scam their potential user base

    I love Valve, but let's face the reality here. They're operating an unregulated bank and casino.

  • This trend is not limited to windows. Try to open a notepad or a calculator on any modern linux distro. 3-5 seconds. And it's getting worse with snaps and flatpacks.

  • True, but I was just getting over how ugly it is... Now they want us to go through the agony again.

    I feel like it's some kind of a conspiracy to tire out the community developers so they don't have a time to bring the quality of life upgrades in custom android distributions anymore. Or I just became too old to to adapt to the pace of life itself. idk...

    edit: on the second look it's not actually that much of a change. I think the wallpaper choice has made it more ugly then necessary.

  • Still peanuts compared to Parlor 6 - 2450€ for a diy kit, 3690 € for the assembled thing.

  • I see the price as $21.91 in the search result page. After clicking on it, it returns error 403.

  • land is still within the borders of a country unless they are on some unclaimed island somewhere

    There will always be a bigger bully laying claim on any interesting piece of land. See the conflicts in Ukraine, Myanmar, Sudan, Taiwan, Palestine... It doesn't mean their claim has any moral basis.

  • only if they totally forfeit the right to any services, privileges, etc.

    Fully agree. Right after the governments gives up their monopoly on certain services, and stop cheating the market by nationalizing the land for certain kinds of projects. It's hard to compete with an entity that can just steal the land and negotiate the price later.

  • Be careful. Having ownership of your resources allows you to take your stuff, or sell it, and try something else somwhere else. If all the resources are communal, it is harder to escape if the things go south. One of the reasons why is it difficult to leave certain kind of cults.

  • Well, this is exactly the kind of question one asks if one wants to get lectured about multiple ways they're wrong by the graphene developers.

    In other words, no. It isn't :)

  • Multiple good hypotheses here. I'd like to add my own. The governments can be viewed as a modern iterations of religious cults, and there is no bigger taboo in a religious organization than questioning the basic dogma.

    Try to question democracy in a democratic republic and you immediately get the weird looks, and irrational dismissal. 9 times out of 10 this self preservation instinct is good and beneficial to everyone involved, because giving a benefit of doubt to closeted authoritarians would be a mistake. That one time somebody really wants to have an honest discussion, it simply sucks.
