Would you support a mandatory retirement age of 75 for US House, US Senate & US Supreme Court Justices and if not why?
  • I wouldn't because the age doesn't really matter. Fuckwit politicians will still be fuckwits politicians, even when they are young. See Zelensky and his team, for example. Maybe they look more "presentable" to the media, but they do the same shit old men before them did

  • Good estate
  • Average looking house in Ukraine. Khrushchovka that itself doesn't look too good is ruined by the fact that each flat was renovated with 0 attention to how the other ones look. There are usually some white walls, some gray, some are still orange form the bricks, some balconies have windows, some don't.

  • Android's new anti-theft features
  • 😂😂 this is all very funny, bud, but if you make such assumptions without proofs you will quickly go insane.

    Inel ME is ridiculously complex for the goal of collecting telemetry. Intel uses drivers for that purpose.

    ME is likely used for security. Not yours, though:

    1. Security of the company, for example, when someone decides to steal large amount of CPUs or something like that. We've seen something similar when a South African shop was robbed of Samsung TVs, which were remotely disabled.
    2. National security. Obviously, should a great war break out that would directly confront NATO, the US would be quick to pressure Intel into remotely messing with enemy country's computers.
  • Just stumbled upon a good-looking matrix client

    Discord but good. Good luck to the devs, I sincerely hope this doesn't get abandoned.

    Cool distros to try
  • I'm pretty comftable with linux mint right now

    For the love of God, spare your free time and don't move from what works. Consider tweaking your system instead and moving only when you broke something

  • Volume is too low in calls

    Am I the only one who has this issue? The volume in calls is way too low, even with the maximum volume set. Regular cell calls have higher volume and thus I can't fully switch a relative of mine to Signal.

    There are similar issues on Signal's Github but they were all closed without real solutions.

    Ukraine's GUR head believes "anonymous" Telegram channel owners should register so the Agency knows who's behind them
    www.bbc.com “Нас чекає важкий період, але Україна не програє” - Кирило Буданов в інтерв'ю ВВС - BBC News Україна

    Кирило Буданов - найпублічніший керівник воєнної розвідки не тільки в історії України, а й в масштабах всього світу. Його прогнози вже не такі оптимістичні, але, як стверджує він, Україна не програє у цій війні.

    “Нас чекає важкий період, але Україна не програє” - Кирило Буданов в інтерв'ю ВВС - BBC News Україна

    Just for the context GUR is Ukraine's Main Intelligence Agency. Practically like the CIA is in the US.

    ***

    The relevant part, translated:

    BBC: You recently spoke about Telegram being a problem for Ukraine.

    Kyrylo Budanov: I can repeat that again for you. It is a huge problem.

    BBC: And what can be done about it?

    Kyrylo Budanov: Or, as they say, to put it in order - at least legally force everyone to register, so it is clear who is behind which media resource, and Telegram has already definitely acquired the status of media. There is no question of influence or pressure - the issue is not about that. If you want to promote your position - and it may not please someone and that is normal in a democratic society - take responsibility. What are you afraid to say who you are?

    BBC: So you're talking about anonymous Telegram channels?

    Kyrylo Budanov: They are all anonymous. Do you know a single Telegram channel that openly said I am this person? That's the answer.

    BBC: Could their closure become a solution to this problem? Blocking?

    Kyrylo Budanov: Temporarily yes, but I still believe they need to be forced to register. This will not be pressure on the press. In a democratic society, I say again, you cannot simply exert pressure...

    Why am I even telling you this? You are a media representative. Would you be very happy if someone came to you and said: that's it, from now on you write like this? Of course, that would be abnormal. But being afraid to say who you are is also wrong. And throwing anything into the ether on behalf of an anonymous person, excuse me, paid from completely different parts of the world is also abnormal.

    Cross-platform FOSS RSS reader?

    I'm looking for an RSS reader that would be able to have its data synchronised across devices using Syncthing (it just should store its data locally in a certain folder that looks the same on all devices).

    Any suggestions?

    Since I only very recently wrote about a video game that was too much for my timetable and lifestyle, today I want to write about one that fits just perfectly into the way I’m trying to play video games in March 2024. That game is Summerhouse, and long-time (lol) readers might remember that Riley wr...

    Looking for a book about managing a team

    Hello, everyone! More often than I wish to, I act as a leader for groups of people. I act as the de-facto manager organising a group of friends, uni projects etc. due to the usual lack of innecitive on the side of other members. Not really into this role, to be honest, but since this is happening often enough, I might as well get better at it.

    Bonus points for the book, if:

    • It was written by a regular manager. As I can see, a lot of books on this topic were written by CEOs, top-managers, rich owners etc. and the main component for their success was not the abilities, but the giant budget or luck.
    • It avoids the survivorship bias and reflects on the negative experience.
    • Has concrete examples of the author implementing their advice.
    • Is fairly short.

    Legends of the Dead is a big new Crusader Kings III expansion that was released earlier this week. I have been playing it a lot. While it dabbles in a few smaller tweaks and additions, the expansion is focused on two main things, both in the name. The first is a new system called “Legends”, […]
