yo that’s wild

I wasn’t around at the time I just heard about it. My impression was that they wanted to ban TheDonald because of all the overt terrorism or whatever, but they needed to be bothsides so picked the most annoying leftist sub to appear evenhanded.

Do youse think you’d have been banned if not for theDonald?

If you got some nerds to set it up in the first place, could do something like the archive team’s warrior ls https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveTeam_Warrior

They are easy to deploy VM that turns your machine over to their ends when you choose. Ala SETI@home for those who remember. But more sophisticated.

February 8, DeepSeek had over 20 million daily active users

125 million users in January

growth of 100 million users in 7 days

If its 20m than how is is it up 125m or 100m?

Is this a “daily active users” vs “total ever users” thing?

I had a couple friends who were raised to only speak English at home because their parents wanted them to be fluent and native sounding. One of them, the parents only ever learned basic English so as a concequence it is difficult to communicate any complexity. And functionally no communication with extended family.

That’s a very old fashioned viewpoint and now we know extra languages dont ultimately prevent acquisition, although it can slow thing down a bit at first for an individual language.

I think knowing other languages at any level is only a good thing and kids can learn so much easier.

As I understand it there should be a great deal of documentary evidence available to demonstrate the veracity of the claim, assuming it is true.

They put the lights behind ports, controls, vents etc that you can’t tape over. And indicator light is helpful I just dont need to read a book with it.

Sometimes spraypaint or model paint works but not suitable to every application.

The edhesive eventually melts down and becomes a sticky mess. Expidided by heat.

I’d like a way to disable all the various way too bright indicator lights.

Depraved.

what even is a powerhouse??

the c r a a a z z y thing about mitochondria is that it’s a completely separate organism!!! what the fuck!!! it has it’s own genetic code.

and there is no known life existing without them???

it is the perfect roommate of the cell.

idk how to use the word more

you can use it to debunk “race science” by way of “mitochondrial eve” but I almost never get to pull that one out.

Well in english all words include vowels and you are excluding every vowel except u and (sometimes) y

scrabble fan?

expropriation now

Tone of article suggests this is some sort of friendly gift but friends don’t give friends pagers. Employers give workers pagers. How did Donald Trump accept a gift that seems to symbolize he’s on call? Why hasn’t he tweeted a picture of it dropped in a toilet or something?

And are we thinking either the gold pager or the real pager is a bomb and/or listening device? so weird

A ROM is the operating system on the phone. So you replace all the existing software from scratch.

In a prior comment I just suggested you installed CalyxOS which is a custom ROM. It is very easy and indented for use by non-nerds to provide them with the most private, secure phone which works as expected. You must still be brave to do things you aren’t used to perhaps. But it should proceed easily (as long as you get the right phone). Here is the instructions for installing on Pixel 7 from Windows computer as an example https://calyxos.org/install/devices/panther/windows. I was shocked the first time I did it that it worked properly on the first go. I had set the whole day aside assuming I would fuck it up again and again but it was done in like 20 minutes.

When you restart after install, it has everything you need set up: browser, email, chat, app stores, bluetooth works, etc. Just like a regular new phone except it has had as much as possible of the spy tech removed. And unlike some other ROMs it also keeps the device physically secure in case it gets stolen or something.

Send it back right away, or resell it. Then buy one of the phones listed on this page https://calyxos.org/. It must be FACTORY (aka bootloader) unlocked (not just vendor or SIM unlocked) and install CalyxOS. It installs like a dream with no bullshit and you get a functional, as private as possible phone.

You can spend hundreds of hours futzing around with sideloading and everything and get a mess of a device that is only marginally better than the default. Or 1 hour and get it done right from the beginning.
