Yeah I kept a tmo plan for a stupid amount of time. Eventually MVNO plans were just cheaper, so i switched. Why does anyone want to stay on some legacy plan anyway? Were any of them any good? This is what I would get for very low usage on tmobile now:
Swappable batteries too plz.
Look from the reference frame of the raindrops. Imagine that instead of falling downwards they are stationary in space and you are moving upwards through them. You cross more en route to your destination if you spend longer.
Heinlein's "The Rolling Stones" had a similar description.
I think it might not work with the spaces. But if it does, then you are fine.
I think you don't want the spaces around the= sign. Preferred over alias is function llaa { ... }. Alias is for backwards compatibility.
Harris is in serious danger of losing to Trump. It takes a special kind of terrible candidate to be able to do that. Only Hillary Clinton accomplished it in the past. If Trump gets re-elected though, maybe the Dems can try for a new world record by launching three failed impeachments next term instead of two.
I wonder if he wrote some of the CUDA code or anything like that.
They've been in office for 4 years and they finally think about the voters. What reaction do you expect?
"During a call monitored by law enforcement later that month, Kim allegedly again stated to the individual that they could “help each other out” and proposed giving the individual money in exchange for sex. In several subsequent text messages, Kim allegedly suggested that the individual travel to Massachusetts to meet him, offering to pay $100 to have sex in a car at a hotel parking lot. When Kim traveled to the hotel parking lot to execute his plan in October 2024, he was confronted by law enforcement."
Gack.
An interesting cause to embrace two weeks before an election, then.
This is not ham gear and it is spammy.
should I completely jumpship to linux when windows 10 ends support
Nah, there's no need to wait.
It looked interesting and that was good enough.
Wonder if this is a targeted attack hired by someone.
I dunno. The story of George Washington and the cherry tree is surely factually false, but it is ok as a parable. The higher truth evoked is that people should be honest. The irony is in dishonestly presenting the story as fact, of course.
So where the hell was Biggles when you needed him last Saturday? And where were all the sportsmen who always pulled you through? They're all resting down in Cornwall - Writing up their memoirs for a paper-back edition of the Boy Scout Manual.
People I know who have used this drug love it. As long as it's not mandatory, making it available to everyone who can benefit from it sounds great.

I haven't read the article or study yet. But I wonder if the observation is one of "probably approximately correct learning" (PAC learning) in action. There's a book of that title by Les Valiant proposing that all biological learning works that way.
Many voters are willing to accept misinformation from political leaders – even when they know it’s factually inaccurate, if they believe the statements evoke a deeper, more important “truth.”
In a series of surveys, researchers studied when and why voters put up with inaccurate statements from their leaders.
Many voters are willing to accept misinformation from political leaders – even when they know it’s factually inaccurate. According to our research, voters often recognize when their parties’ claims are not based on objective evidence. Yet they still respond positively, if they believe these inaccurate statements evoke a deeper, more important “truth.”
Most used: k9 mail, Firefox, Voyager. Favorite: termux is awesome but I don't use it much.
Added: Trail Sense is another great app that I don't use all that much at the moment.
Does anyone here use GNU Jami?
Is it ok? Is there something else you recommend instead? I tried nextcloud talk and it was pretty bad. Jitsi was ok but self hosting it looked complicated. FOSS only, of course.
This simple technique instantly reduces heat stress in dogs | teach them to dunk their heads in water
Dogs can quickly overheat after exercise, risking heatstroke. A new dog cooling method, voluntary head dunking, cools dogs effectively.
This blog is reserved for more serious things, and ordinarily I wouldn’t spend time on questions like the above. But much as I’d like to spend my time writing about exciting topics, som…
Blog post by crypto professor Matthew Green, discussing what Telegram does (I wasn't familiar with it) and criticizing its cryptography. He says Telegram by default is not end-to-end encrypted. It does have an end-to-end "secret chat" feature, but it's a nuisance to activate and only works for two-person chats (not groups) where both people are online when the chat starts.
It still isn't clear to me why Telegram's founder was arrested. Green expresses some concern over that but doesn't give any details that weren't in the headlines.
Teardown and analysis of electronics. Integrated circuit design analysis.
This is a good blog post, with die photos of the new RP2350 chip and a brief description of what they show. There is a link to a 12 minute youtube video that is also very good, that discusses the die shots in more detail and also goes over the rest of the Pico 2 circuit board, including die shots of the QSPI flash chip and the voltage regulator chip.
Bernstein and Lange -- Safe curves for Elliptic Curve Cryptography
This is a technical but quite informative article, nominally about which elliptic curves have good security properties, but also discusses the intentions behind using EC instead of older systems like RSA (basically, EC is safer against some known classes of attacks).
Posting partly because EC vs RSA came up here a few days ago.
The government unveils its quantum counter-weapons
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/18617290
> The National Institute of Standards and Technology has finally published the world’s first three official post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, tools designed to protect key systems against future quantum computers powerful enough to crack any code generated by a modern computer.
Raspberry Pi Pico 2, our new $5 microcontroller board, on sale now
Basically more everything. 2x Cortex M33 cores with floating point, 520KB ram, more PIOs, bunch of secure boot stuff (I have mixed feelings about this), and can boot to a mode with risc-v cores instead of the M33s.
Even the other hosts on Fox News' The Five thought Waters went off the deep end with his recent comments.
Google Fiber is the only decent home ISP around here. What do I do?
I get spammed by them all the time but have so far resisted and stayed with my crappy, slow, and expensive ADSL provider out of principle. But the ADSL provider just raised prices on me AGAIN and it's ridiculous.
What do I do? Is Google Fiber as invasive as other Google stuff? What if I just use it to tunnel a VPN to a non-Google endpoint?
This is sure annoying. It occurs to me that Comcrap might be available here as an alternative, but that must be as evil as Google. At least the ADSL company is reasonable about privacy, as such companies go.
Thanks for any thoughts.
Lemmy (etc.): allow sorting preference for search
It's a pain that search results on lemmy show by default ordered by some useless relevance ranking. I can't think of a single time I didn't want newest first. I couldn't find a preference to request that. It would be great if there was one.
The suggestion on c/support on lemmy.world was to make this kind of request on github, but it seems anti-FOSS to me to require a Microsoft account for a fediverse request, so I'm posting here and hoping for the best.
Thanks for any consideration!
automatically clean up tracking and other tags in posted urls
Example (spam post containing an amazon affiliate link, post hopefully deleted by now but I assume mods/admins can see it): https://lemmy.world/post/15846936
Also there are tons of links people post legitimately but have tracking parameters, gclid=this, fbclid=that, etc. Those can be cleaned up too.
By editing out these parameters automatically when the link is posted, people's privacy can be protected and the incentive to post affiliate spam can be decreased.
It could be a server config parameter and/or put into the posting UI: "your post contains [link] with flagged parameters, choose between a) post cleaned up version (shown), or b) post link without changes (may go into moderation queue depending on community settings)."
