@dalias @charliejane @ymasumac So, for those who are out of the loop, who would Mr Bone Saw be? -

@dalias @charliejane @ymasumac Are people planning to disassemble him with bonesaws?
Metal. Nice. -

@Em0nM4stodon @ck0 Given they're not nearly as infamous as ANSI & ISO, were they one of the few that produced properly open and patent-unencumbered standards?
(Original draft mistook them for those. I wish ANSI would get fucked its rentseeking.) -

@Suiseiseki @snacks Interesting. I wonder if it's how they're used that's the issue or just signaling them is itself being a problem. -

@Suiseiseki @snacks Couldn't all sorts of other signals like interrupts (bypassing the need for polling) be involved depending on the specific hardware? -

@dalias Doesn't AC imply polarity changes and most Ethernet equipment has diodes preventing such reversed flow?
Very choppy DC is still DC. -

@agowa338 What do Ethernet switches do to mitigate the different-ground issue anyway? -

Some articles seem to suggest there's DC-DC transformers involved.
This raises the question though: What about shielded ethernet with a ground wire? -

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @actuallyadhd @actuallyautistic @below @johnnyprofane1 Even so, neuroatypicality of any sort shouldn't be the factor to determine why someone is a danger (it's a very bad place to go).
What they *do* is what matters, and he has done his utmost to make himself into a generalized threat. -

@lanodan @mia @feld @anemone @oshy (Practically) No one actually updates it for the users though, they don't even provide notification of the need.
This really does seem like a regulatory oversight issue.
(This should be argued as part of Right to Repair. Users must be able to reflash broken firmware.) -

@lanodan @mia @feld @anemone @oshy It does make one wonder why the chip doesn't fully implement it in hardware as an ASIC, instead of being a microcontroller. -

@mia @anemone @oshy @lanodan Hardware with firmware should be mandatorily user-reflashable so that one can use proper Free Software.
There isn't really any other vaguely sane option for solving the problem. -

@Suiseiseki @Breaking911 @alyx > Yes, those are the poison that cause obesity (including liquefied foods like soft drink).
Several diseases can also precipitate it, including influenza (it can cause long-term damage to several relevant organs). Better infection control and social standards of propagation mitigation would help a lot.
> That is intentionally quite light on to minimize side-effects - the human immune system can be pushed much harder without any issues in most individuals.
Most of the diseases vaccinated for very young also have horrible long-term effects on unvaccinated young children that catch them (and several of them like measles are very contagious).
e.g.
> Suppression of the immune system by measles lasts about two years and has been epidemiologically implicated in up to 90% of childhood deaths in third world countries, and historically may have caused rather more deaths in the United States, the UK and Denmark than were directly caused by measles

@mia > make gmail seem unprofessional.
Done. It was a malicious corposcum host from the start.
The only vaguely professional (for all that matters) option is to have one's own domain. (MX records are a thing.)
Nevertheless, yes, down with the monopolists. -

@dalias @webhat > But unless you have a seriously defanged browser, Mozilla or Google basically has push access to replace the code in any extension.
That is indeed another problem. Though at that point it's not "extensions are insecure" it's "the browser itself is insecure", unless specifically fixed as you allude to. -

@webhat @dalias > They stopped responding
I don't get why they do that.
The only plausibly secure Javascript examples I know of would be /extensions/ to the browsers, rather than anything ever received from a site. -

@dalias @unlambda That's been my general though about a lot of those larger power stations.
Unfortunately I am somewhat wary of screwing up if I DIY. I'd *still* prefer to use either sealed lead-acid, LiFePO or something else less fussy than lithium-ion.
Most such power stations seem to *insist* on using lithium-ion which isn't cool. -

@dalias @VeilidNetwork Extra amusing that it's an optional field. They don't even have to use it.
Why is name required though given one presumably generates a key and then ephemeral keys from it? (And presumably friends will just assign a petname.) -

@GNUxeava Weird package maintainer.
This should still be feasible in basically any package manager in some way or another.
