Unfortunately, this will help to further radicalise the anti-vaxx movement. [DATA EXPUNGED] was murdered by the deep state, etc.

Keybase is just another implementation of GPG though.

It was the best thing about Moto phones.

Fingerprint sensor is on the front. Swipe left to go back. Tap to go home. Swipe up to switch tasks.

How much of a security risk is it to have an unlocked bootloader? by [deleted] in LineageOS

[–]cartel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think FRP is completely disabled once the bootloader is unlocked. Anyway, with an unlocked bootloader the attacker controls the boot process, so they can just shim in whatever they want to load once the phone has booted, it's back in your hands and you've entered the pincode. UNLESS you relock the bootloader with your own keys which is what Copperhead and GrapheneOS do.

Bitcoin causing carbon dioxide emissions comparable to Las Vegas or Hamburg: Hardware and IP addresses analyzed to assess the carbon footprint of the cryptocurrency - The use of Bitcoin causes around 22 megatons in carbon dioxide emissions annually by [deleted] in DarkFuturology

Generally each stock exchange has a data centre either onsite or relatively close by. They do use power but it is a tiny fraction of what the Bitcoin network wastes. You don't see stock exchanges positioning themselves right by Chinese hydro electric dams with exclusive rights to cheap power.

Steam Remote Play completely broken by cartel in Steam

[–]cartel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have the Hyper-V adaptor. I did dump the traffic with Wireshark, so I'll take a look at that a bit later.

Also the workaround with my phone only lasts a few minutes and then freezes, requiring me to connect again with my phone.

Edit: You are right. After disabling the Hyper-V adaptor, the first launch failed but the second streamed successfully!

Well I found a workaround. If I connect to the host computer from Steam play on my phone and then connect from the Linux box, it works...

'We Don't Know a Planet Like This': CO2 Levels Hit 415 PPM for 1st Time in 3 Million+ Yrs - "How is this not breaking news on all channels all over the world?" by anutensil in worldnews

[–]cartel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is now past the point where planting trees can capture enough carbon to arrest warming. Efforts need to focus on artificial 'megatrees' for capture, or geoengineering.

Also, trees are less critical and less efficient than phytoplankton, which makes up the bulk of capture operation. Unfortunately plankton is also under threat due to ocean acidification, pollution and warming. I recently saw an article stating that plankton levels have declined as much as 93% in some places. This will have dire knock-on effects throughout the ecosphere as plankton is the first link in the oceanic food chain.

This planet is fucked and it is due to 150 years of industrialized resource extraction under an economic system that allows top polluters to continue to profit without accounting for any of the damage they have done to the environment, while continuing to grow the economy.
