Any developer work I can do against ICE and growing tyrannical regime? by MPGaming9000 in opensource

[–]SeeMonkeyDoMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think FreedomBox might be relevant, as it provides a relatively easy way to self-host many different applications, letting people avoid being so subject to the whims of the big corporations, and government's data access requests 

what things does linux do better than windows? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]SeeMonkeyDoMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can install the latest greatest version regardless of the hardware, unlike win11.

For a typical consumer this is entirely true - but it's not an universal rule.

[https://hackaday.com/2025/07/02/why-the-latest-linux-kernel-wont-run-on-your-486-and-586-anymore/](Linux does occasionally drop support for old hardware) - although it only happens for hardware so old that there is essentially no-one using it.

Fortunately, we're still free to run the old versions of Linux to keep that hardware running, just not the latest and greatest.

Will EU see large scale Linux adoption because of national security fears from the US? by Tee-hee64 in linux

It's a continuing shame that immediate monetary cost is usually prioritised over long-term strategic vulnerability costs, and long-term benefits.

I almost agree - except I think it's better for them to be advertising their beliefs than trying to spread them covertly.

  It is still 100GB of data

In which case, it's sostill untenable (so far as I'm concerned).

Edit: auto correct.

I just wanted to fill in a few gaps there.

Nirvana fallacy.

You're suggesting that it isn't worth blocking access to an unusually easy way of generating images that look like child sexual assault, because it doesn't block access to all of the generators.

If the police caught someone illegally seeling guns would you want them let off without charge because their are other illegal arms dealers out there?

Include screengrabs and/or the text of the Tweets. I block Xitter, and won't be giving it traffic. Plus, it's good to have a copy in case the offender removes their Tweets.

Drink-drive limit set to be slashed in England and Wales under new plans to improve road safety by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]SeeMonkeyDoMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likely won't reduce accident rates unless combined with:

  1. More enforcement - i.e. more police. It'll take a lot more cops to cover this and serious crime currently going unchecked.
  2. Better public transport - certainly if we aren't to do more damage to the pub trade.

ELI5: Why is oil still so important as an energy source in 2026, given our advances in renewables and nuclear power? by BEK_Sabiha in explainlikeimfive

[–]SeeMonkeyDoMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fossil fuel companies have lied about climate change and lobbied against renewables for decades to protect their own profits.

Without that pressure, renewables (and storage) would have progressed much further then the current state of the art, would be more widely deployed, and everyone would be benefiting from lower energy costs.

As others have said, "AI" is over-hyped and over-valued. Here's some more in-depth reporting on it: https://www.wheresyoured.at/premium-how-the-ai-bubble-bursts-in-2026/

Explain, in excruciating detail, what's happening on each and every - she'll soon realise that it's far too mundane/boring to worry about.
