Wow that list of commits is brutal. Libre Office is dead. Just another corporate take over of an open source project.

Euro office looking very suspicious here

As are Bedfordshire police: https://libertyinvestigates.org.uk/articles/uk-police-workin...

This is a semi joke answer but I have worked at some of the big corps and see how they use OSS software. One way I have continuously thought about to prevent usage is to make all of the variables/function names/APIs contain profanity and PR incorrect jokes. I do know that every single corp has a profanity filter to prevent any bad word being added to code. It’s not bullet-proof but certainly makes it a lot more difficult to get that code on corpo servers and past legal.

That’s my issue with it: iot devices shouldn’t have access to the internet by default. With Matter it’s possible. No one is going to create outbound firewall rules for these things.

Same but I can’t access archive.is either because of the VPN

Worth noting that with RIPA (2000, activated in 2007) UK has enforced key disclosure. It is illegal to fail to disclose a password for any data for any reason (including random data).

I would say the UK has worse privacy than any other country on earth. I'm really hoping for plausible deniability to become more common to help protect against the government.

The CAPTCHA forces vistors to solve a problem designed to be very difficult for computers but trivial for humans. Anubis – confusingly – inverts this idea.

Not really, AI easily automates traditional captchas now. At least this one does not need extensions to bypass.

If you are looking for OSS support for things like libre office, graphics, bluetooth, WSI, upstreaming, kernel and more, Collabora is a UK based company that can help~

I have the same Samsung sound bar and absolutely nothing works. We need to hard reset it every day because it refuses to work, switching between programmes in Netflix causes a horrible loud crack, the latest one is having speakers out of sync. Really bad. Unfortunately the rtings reviewers didn’t seem to test any of these things.

The government wants to introduce a law to make it illegal to possess AI tools that are capable of CSAM output. As we know this is impossible, any company starting in the UK with AI will likely fail compared to other countries if this law passes.

As a test: I am always on a vpn

But at least with Google captchas you can use AI to solve them. I use the buster captcha extension to solve them. It moves the mouse around like a human and solves automatically. I pay for captcha solvers for hcaptcha which is worse but cloudflare is just cancer. It’s made the web unusable

The last SiFive board I had died after about a year of use and is no longer supported so buyer beware

I use AI to solve my captchas now. Pay for the service from nopecha, the internet has been killed for VPNs without it

Has the btrfs sub volume quota bug been fixed yet? I always had issues when using it

I'm using Octopus mentioned in the article, I got paid £0.67 to use 12.62kWh over 4 hours due to spare energy in the UK on 8th June. So not really worth it financially, but the ability is there already to help even out the load.

Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery is a common term (MVHR). Basically a fan but it tries to recover the heat lost in winter. Usually comes as a whole house system but there are some that do single rooms.

Beautiful, but could do with using quaternions for rotation to avoid gimbal lock. At least I assume that’s the problem with getting stuck on the poles

Not sure why you are being downvoted, quote from the video "It's actually systemd's fault":

Very much, I think the Guardian could do well by including the graph with min/max/average

I’m close to putting all my money in crypto and using prepaid cards to avoid the utter hell I have to deal with to pay for something using a normal bank.

Inkscape is one of the best programs out there. I use it for everything now. Did you know it can do mesh gradients too now

Second, we find that a few privacy-focused users often ask their browsers to go beyond standard practices to preserve their anonymity. This includes changing their user-agent

those users can immediately understand the issue and make a conscientious choice about whether they want to allow their browser to pass a challenge.

So they will block privacy-focused users. I guess VPNs will be blocked too. It seems they have just removed the captcha part of their system and are spinning it as a good thing to block certain users.

Just a warning to anyone thinking of using the sifive boards https://forums.sifive.com/t/unmatched-boot-issues/6236

You’re right I was thinking of PFAS chemicals, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are micro plastics in blood now however

Unfortunately in the UK a bank can (and do) freeze your account with no reason for up to 2 years without any recourse or access to funds. With API access you risk your money being frozen due to automatic fraud detection. The government have given up policing of finance to banks and they take the least risky options
