Thank you. I was not aware of that. I don’t really know how to check to see if a link has been posted before. I would like to avoid reposting. 'sure would be nice if a veteran citizen of Leamington could explain it. I have re- re-titled the title in light of your comment.
I respectfully disagree. Ars Technica is not known for being a clickbait site. They are merely stating what platform(s) the malware runs on. It’s not an Android hit piece, and it’s not clickbait, it’s just a warning about buying cheap Chinese electronics that have access to your Wi-Fi.
Welcome to the internet
… where all monumental advances in technology are immediately sexualized and used for getting laid or viewing porn.
… and if you refuse to become a soulless ghoul then you become the merchandise.
I took this article specifically to mean, and that it was referring to, a new form of non-volatile solid state storage. Active memory is by definition, volatile. This article seems to be talking about non volatile RAM, fast enough to function as active RAM. This alone would redefine what a reboot is.
Navigate to the uBlock Origin settings. · Select the “Filter lists” tab. · Scroll to the “Annoyances” section. Place a check mark next to “AdGuard/uBO – Cookie Notices”.
I recently discovered that the Firefox add-on, ublock origin, has in its chooseable block lists, under annoyances, a cookie notice blocker with lots of other annoyance blockers as well.
I very much appreciate you, for the opportunity to constructively discuss this.
We have to make the behavior of people that are destroying our global ecosystem shameful and intolerable, that’s how I see this article. I’ve never seen societal change occur without a collective shift in perspective. This article tries to make that process more understandable because we are short on time. It is a process that has been repeating throughout human history.
As far as personal efforts and struggle to help, I don’t really see it as relevant to this particular discussion. The contemporary human tendency to see global issues as a personal issue is decidedly Western. This goes beyond self, and the western obsession with selfhood. The fact that your efforts aren’t helping does not create a basis for dismissing and disregarding the severity of the issue. Forgive me if that’s rude, what I’m saying is this is not at all personal and about recycling habits. This is about creating a collective consciousness of disapproval that grows to a size where it can no longer be ignored or dismissed for the sake of profit and gain.
Child labor was perfectly okay until everyone decided that it was not okay. This is the crux of the article. If you look at history, it is moments like that that determine subsequent history.
It’s about everyone collectively deciding that they’ve had enough of something. We are up against PR machines and lots of other opinion modifiers to make it seem like our perspective is invalid. We have to overcome that.
Very valid point. The argument here is that without a shift in consciousness of our entire species we’re never going to be able to address the problem, we have to push for a world that completely disapproves of pollution and polluters. People used to not care about littering, but somehow we managed to make it a bad thing and we got the result we wanted. 'Basically the same principle. It wasn’t just anti-littering policy that did it, it was people being disgusted with their communities being trashed.
Apple has blind loyalty
I agree. However, I also think that vendor lock-in is the true culprit. The strange thing about Apple users is that they get locked into that platform and there is little escape, but instead of feeling resentful, they swell with pride instead. Apple user = proud capative.
I use the version on ninite.com. It was the last version before AOL bought it with murderous intent, so the developers put 666 at the end of the version number as a slight to them.
Terrible article. It even leads with a photo to mock the idea.
The benefits of painting a home’s roof with any white paint are enough to justify making it the standard. The article doesn’t even mention that the super white paint can reduce indoor temperature by 8 or more degrees. That’s a lot of energy not needed to cool the home. Even more effective is placing a second white roof above the roof on posts to shield it from solar heat. It would make sense to make a secondary roof solar panel ready. It would also extend the lifespan of the original roof.
"The paint’s properties are almost superheroic. It can make surfaces as much as eight degrees Fahrenheit cooler than ambient air temperatures at midday, and up to 19 degrees cooler at night, reducing temperatures inside buildings and decreasing air-conditioning needs by as much as 40 percent.”

The article sounds like a hit job to ridicule a simple and effective idea.
That actually tracks, since lemmy is supposedly populated mostly by “older nerdy males”. I mean they have a point, the quality of discussion is definitely better – for now. That could end with an Endless September event.
There is a whole lot of desktop and laptop users who couldn’t care less about APIs, but some of them have begun to notice that Reddit just isn’t the same anymore.
Beehaw has a number of news and politics communities. As one might imagine, there’s livelier debates and discussion and lots of new things to discuss almost every day.
I’m going to use the past tense here. Reddit was more than anything a news feed, at least originally. I suspect that their early days created a lot of momentum around politics, national and world news, since they are naturally bountiful sources of content.
I suppose that clarifying it as ‘uncertified open source Android’ would be more appropriate.
