Same vibes.

What we actually need is for european companxes to drop the safety checks dependant on google play services and start using the phone checks only so alternative roms can function properly without depending on google.

It can be done and would allow people to more freely develop and adopt alternatives like grapheneos without hassle.

I wanted to be a paleontologist. Parents worked really hard to avoid that from happenning.

Now I work in OT (operation technologies) on a big company. I mostly tinker with automated proccesses and machines. It’s not at all what I wanted to be but it’s a really good alternative; machines are way easier than people to talk to.

I know. And I still want it. Why? Because if people here don’t give a fuck about safety (neither theirs nor that of others), then at least we should force them to have the bare minimum to be accountable.

Would it be better if they did it in a different way? Probably, but I know this country, and I know people don’t give a fuck about other when they drive any vehicle, so yeah, give me this, make them pay an insurance and get a license. And fuck them all, because we can’t have good things here.

Out of curiosity: have you ever been to Italy and see how people drive here? That number of 80% of ebikes being illegal might make a flashy number for you. But I live here and that number not only seems correct, it actually looks on the lower end.

I probably see at least 20 different delivery guys each day. If I see one that’s pedaling, that’s maybe… once a week? That if I’m lucky. They are largely ignored because, as the rest of the traffic related stuff, authorities do shit about it.

Sure, they take a day and stop a hundred bikes and most of them are illegal and they call it a day. And with that, they think they solved the problem, but the fact is there is a huge number of those that are illegal. Although it doesn’t surprise me at all, this country is shit when it comes to enforcing traffic laws in general.

Legally, e-bikes here can’t go over 25km/h. And in any shop you try to buy one, this is the norm. However, to put a throttle on them is so easy that you rarely see an e-bike with someone pedaling.

Is it unfair for those who follow the law? Probably? But when I think as a citizen, not just as a biker, in my country, e-bikes are a problem to my safety even as pedestrian.

It’s more like starting to ask people to have some rules after 80% of the e-bikes checked in a police checkpoint were illegally modified

Yes, but in practice, even if the bike is sold while being legally compliant, the modifications are far to easy to make so anyone can do them.

Sure, if they catch one, there’s a huge fine, but there are so many that’s impossible to catch them all.

Italy here. I LOVE bikes, I do part of my commute by bike (the rest by train) and I wish my city made even harder for cars to drive in the city in favour of bikes.

With that said, we need a law like this here because e-bikes are a new kind of hell for everyone:

• Most of them are easily modifiable so they reach up to 50km/h without having to pedal. Making them electric motor-scooters.

• Because of this, they are basically a free for all: no need to respect traffic laws, red lights… fuck, they even pass pedestrians in the sidewalk at speeds that are superior to the speed limit of the street for car

• Also because of this, you better pray to not get involved in an accident with one. If you are on foot and get hit by one, they will simply run and let you in the ground. And if you are in a car… well, tough luck because you’ll have to pay for your own repair even if they caused them.

And most of these assholes work for delivery companies like deliveroo, just eat and similars.

So yeah, since we can’t have nice things, give me a law and fuck all these assholes dearly.

If things keep going like this, she’ll only have customers among the 0.1%

If I as a customer pay, idk, 10€ per gb of RAM and an AI data center pays 20, do you really think they are going to consider how they are feeding a bubble that in the not-so-long term will burst and fuck them up too?

Nah, mate, they are capitalists, they only care about the money they can make in the extremely short term.

I work for a somewhat big company with one of the dumbest IT depts ever. On top of not wanting to risk being spied on what I do or not do with my private phone and life, there’s also the fact that their rules for a “safe browsing” are really, REALLY stupid (like blocking access to Siemens website because they use “weird” protocols to transfer files for their devices firmware or their webinars: p2p).

I find more often than not having to do a hotspot with my phone so I can connect with my computer to simply access work related websites because IT is just too dumb to understand that in a company there should be different network profiles depending on the worker and, instead, they apply a general rule in which they consider the same “threats” for a marketing employee than for an OT (operational technologies) employee.

My operator gives me 150gb for 7.99€. It actually started with 30gb for the same price but they’ve been upgrading my gb almost yearly without price increase.

As I stream music from my jellyfin server for around 6-8 hours a day (most of my office time) and watch some shows on my lunch time, my monthly consumption is around 60-70gb a month.

But simply because I know I have more than enough to not worry about the streaming quality of my files, otherwise I’d be at maybe 10 or so.

Not sure about the watermelon, but feta is a Greek cheese, and they use mint too so you might be right.

As I said in my first comment, I am not happy with it, but the other option is worse.

I am aware this is the lesser evil, hence “Go China”.

The fact that they already have a de-facto monopoly on consumer goods doesn’t mean I want them to have another one for other products.

Air-fried spinach leaves.

Add some species you like to the leaves, spray them with some olive oil and airfry for 10-15 mins at 200°C.

Makes for a great alternative to normal chips but takes some practice to find the perfect timing to make them crispy but not burned.

I’m not happy with China getting this tech and potentially becoming a monopoly in consumer DRAM. But the other option right now is becoming a cloud slave for burgerlander billionaires that are actively fucking everyone in the world so what can I say?

This guy’s a hero! Go China!

China has a couple of years to figure out how to make RAM at decent prices.

They will manage somehow and will become leaders of the consumer market.

The bubble will burst and will fuck everyone involved.

China will by then have their RAM on every consumer device and these shitheads will all go: “omigosh! How this could happen? Nobody could have predicted this!”

I wouldn’t. I need my partner to have a minimun conversational skill. In a couple, there’s more beyond sex, there is talk, there is communication. I’d rather a worse looking person that’s smart than a 10 with whom I can’t even talk about anything interesting.
