I don’t see a problem here. If the US auto makers are so worried, they should buy a few of them, copy their secrets, and sell them at a marked down price.
Turnabout is fair play, after all.

Needs more vegetables, meat, and salt to be a soup. But by that logic, you could call the ocean a soup.

I’ve got a pair of Merrell hiking shoes and some basic heavy duty insoles from Dr. Scholls. My only issue was getting used to the lack of material under the toes, causing them to angle down a bit.

I recommend starting with the insoles first, see if they provide the support you need. If that doesn’t help, I recommend escalating to a doctor. They can provide better shoe recommendations than us randos on Lemmy.

Enough games. If you can’t get him to shut up, go over his head to every social media site he blabs on and hand them legal orders to remove the offending comments and disable his accounts.

Aaand that search query got me some files with the top secret flag. Fortunately, they seem to be internal memos on things that are already known to the public, so nothing too immediately dangerous.

My big question is, why in the ever-loving fuck are these files outside of SIPRNET?

Counterpoint: Having those questions posited here does mean we can start getting fediverse traction in Google. Even if it’s a tiny amount.

There’s also a limited federation mode that server admins can use. Users and posts are still searchable, but they do not show on the public federated feed.
Useful for this exact case where a server may have beneficial accounts, but the rest should be hidden for moderation reasons.

Still would prefer it being on a proper mastodon server, but I can live with this. Whatever server ends up hosting a President’s account now has to deal with record preservation laws for their posts. Let’s leave that bureaucratic stuff to threads.

Step right up and place your bets now, folks! What will be the tipping point for massive defederation? Will it be:

• Snobby, vocal elitism from instance admins,

• Retaliatory sanctions for anticompetitive actions, or

• insufficient moderation of harmful or adult content?

I’m putting $20 on the third one, rampant porn bots will be the tipping point.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they got some personally delivered letters from the legal department of a big media company, given that they blocked visibility to some magazines on other servers.

Sounds more like poor self-checkout design.

All the stores I’ve been to with self-checkout require placing your just scanned item into the bag on a scale. If the weight change doesn’t match what it expects, it locks up and requires a store employee to check and clear it.

Downside is, it has problems with very light items.

I’ve had good results with an electric moka pot and most light roasts. Makes the strongest coffee in the entire office, and it’s easy to maintain.
Theres also the traditional stovetop ones, but I needed electric.

I tried the cafe bustelo ‘vacuum bricks’ once, but dark roasts just taste burnt to me. I recommend a Hawaiian style light roast, like Cameron’s.

Easy. It’s far too expensive to implement, both in money and man-hours. Especially man-hours.

The amount of people required to personally surveil the general populace is way too exorbitant, AND they have to monitor their own people to prevent leaks. The logistics explodes well before this becomes feasible.

Then there’s discoverability. Once such hardware is out there, it’s only a matter of time before it falls into the hands of someone capable of dissecting it. Given that such spying methods would be ‘sold’ to federal management on the grounds of national security, there’s an interest in not having it fall into such hands. Therefore, these methods are reserved for high-profile targets. Not the average Joe citizen.

To summarize: Too expensive (money), too expensive (logistics), and too expensive (R&D). Unless you’re on Interpol’s most wanted list or something, you don’t need to worry about this.

The ability to take for granted that anything and everything I purchased was owned outright. It couldn’t be taken away, either intentionally or accidentally, in any capacity.
Now everything is all always-online digital licenses, and they can be swapped to monthly subscriptions at a moments notice.

They didn’t stop allowing 3rd party app usage per se, they just priced it so absurdly high that they all had to stop operating or get multimillion dollar invoices.
…Which is technically just killing 3rd party apps, thinly disguised under a layer of potential profit. Pretty standard soulless corporate practice.

Arch takes the majority because SteamOS is based on it. Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s anything in the data that would allow discerning between those two.

…to protest the teaching of 2SLGBTQ+ issues…

The ‘2’ and the ‘S’ are new to me. When were they added, and what do they represent?

The furry community is either very sparse here, or I haven’t used the search tool properly.

Computer monitors should work too, and are more readily available. Just dig through the business oriented monitors and ignore the gaming ones, as cable providers aren’t really going to have anything that can take advantage of >60 fps display rates.
