@brucelawson @Vivaldi @evan @swf what's your take on #POSSE (Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere).

I understand the idea but it feels a bit much for microblogging.

"An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that's the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill."

Megaconstellations like Starlink will increase atmospheric aluminum oxide amounts to 646% over natural levels ( +360 metric tons / year ).

It will take up to 30 years for the aluminum oxides to drift down to stratospheric altitudes, where 90% of Earth's ozone is located.

Once there aluminum oxide will act as a catalyst with chlorine harming the ozone layer.

@pkuipersmunneke damn that far right. What's their message in there?

@aral @greenWhale we need a book full of classic mistakes and results of there of.

I dropped the only development database the day before a marketing website release date. ( Oh the wild 00's )

After that we moved into development on a developer's machine and added migrations instead of ad-hoc creating tables on a server.

@thomasfuchs physical controls for key driving functions like fog lights are much nicer than touch only. But for modern cars to introduce manual AC-controls is return to 80's where car couldn't hold the temperature.

In my car I adjust temperature couple of times in a year and when I do I use speech control.

Maybe EU boffin is just talking about Tesla.

@FeralRobots @msh @thomasfuchs not that different from future cars in any way.

Speech recognition will come to all cars at some point in time and thus will require hardly no knobs of any kind.

The benefit of limited speech command set is that the driver can fully concentrate on the driving no distractions whatsoever.

@msh @thomasfuchs as a Finnish city dweller the coldest we had here in the south was -29 C. Still I had no problems starting the car nor need to adjust the heater in any way, thermostat handles that stuff.

I even drove to a meeting 170 km away without jacket in that weather. No preheating, no warm garage, no external help.

The key difference here might be that I drive an EV with 6 kW cabin heater if you have a sauna you might get the scale. The car is warm +20 C in 5 minutes or even less.

@FeralRobots @msh @thomasfuchs well I have speech recognition in my car now. It will be more common in the future thus demanding physical knobs is an echo from a bygone era.

@youronlyone could be. I had a pretty consistent future predicting dreams in my teens.

Some happened just as I had seen them, some didn't happen at the same place as in my dream.

@elight @thomasfuchs @kirch those were the days!

I remember when I accidentally printed an img on a matrix printer... 😬

@thomasfuchs Does Miele sell to USA. Not cheap but that 10 year warranty is nice.

@siderea what about @thunderbird ?

@siderea @thunderbird here's the feature list.

There's few issues like date sorting old emails by date header (since I got a lot of mail and it sorts badly by the default received date). This can be fiddled to work with configs though.

@siderea @thunderbird that's not a mail client feature, it's a mail server feature.

@dexternemrod @truls46 @voorstad @EU_Commission but then there's open source projects like Matrix.

How could they fight against federated e2ee communications?

@dexternemrod @truls46 @voorstad @EU_Commission you can host the UI as a web page.

So how to block it?

They probably haven't even thought of banking and government data handling.

@drakenblackknight @dexternemrod @truls46 @voorstad @EU_Commission and yet you can use self hosted Matrix with a self hosted Element.io website.

There's literally not even a slightest chance to block organized crime from having E2EE discussions so why even bother to try.

@rolle hey, openly proud ?

Don't be such a Finn toiling away in the back room.

@thomasfuchs I just miss how nice it was when WAP had XML descriptor url from the device to the backend showing screen ratio, pixel size, content size with a scrollbar etc.
