"I don't know any YouTube creator who's happy with the way Content ID works," EFF’s @ktrendacosta told @arstechnica — but she "can't think of a way to build the match technology" to improve it, because "machines cannot tell context."

@eff @ktrendacosta @arstechnica Same thing was happened few years ago with LG washing machines. Identical yt crap was going on. But back then no one from the media cared about it. Today is a shit storm flowing through the internet. Because the Shitsung is affected and the modern drama must begin. 🤣😂

Czy jest bezpieczny?
(nie, nie jest)
https://oko.press/komunikator-telegram-bezpieczenstwo

> Na stronie internetowej komunikatora znajdziemy informację, że „wiadomości są silnie szyfrowane”. Podobnie Telegram promuje się m.in. w mediach społecznościowych.

> To mocno sugeruje, że wiadomości wymieniane za pomocą tego komunikatora są dostępne tylko dla ich nadawców i odbiorców – i że nikt poza nimi nie może odczytać. Takie szyfrowanie nazywane jest „end-to-end”.

> W kontekście Telegrama jest to jednak mylące.

@rysiek Zacząć należy od tego, że oko_press to banda totalnych cymbałów, powielających od lat siane w sieci brednie.
Natomiast kwestia telegrama i jego trybów pracy zależy przede wszystkim od samego użytkownika. To, że ludzie po prostu nie czytają manuali, changelogów itp, to już jest osobna i wszem wiadoma sprawa. Większość z nich jest sama sobie winna, że coś gdzieś im wyciekło etc. Niemyślenie niestety potrafi dziś mocno boleć. A cała ta w/w sytuacja jest tego wręcz idealnym przykładem.

@noodlejetski @rysiek Owszem, wiem
Co w dalszym ciągu nie zmienia faktu, że owo "wydawnictwo" jest dnem.

Cóż.. Na sposób informowania użytkowników o danej funkcji i sposobie jej działania w jakiejś aplikacji poza jej twórcami nikt nie ma wpływu. A i to nie zwalnia użytkownika z czytania. Tak samo, jak nieznajomość prawa nie zwalnia nikogo z jego przestrzegania.
Poza tym w świecie IT od lat przyjęło się iść i takie rzeczy samodzielnie czytać gdzieś u twórców. Na forum, blogu, w pliku readme etc.

@noodlejetski @rysiek Cóż.. Peszek. Na szczęście nie mój. Ja umiem w czytanie instrukcji obsługi i tym podobnych rzeczy. Problemu większego z tym nie mam w ogóle. Jeżeli ktoś jest aż tak głupi, że na przykład podłącza jakieś nowo kupione urządzenie do prądu, nie czytają uprzednio jego instrukcji obsługi, a potem płacze, że mu się instalacja w ścianach pali, no to sorry Winnetou, ale ma problem sam ze sobą. I to dość spory problem. A winić za swoją głupotę może również tylko i wyłącznie siebie.

@enkiusz Dokładnie. Albo idiotoodporność, wygoda i prostota, albo skuteczność oraz "pancerność". Tych dwu opcji na raz się mieć nie da. Przynajmniej nie w jakiś łatwy i prosty sposób. Ludzie oczekują wiele, ale.. oczekiwać sobie można, a życie to nie koncert życzeń 😉
Ja osobiście telegrama nie używam, ponieważ wolę aplikacje zdecentralizowane.
A auto wolę takie, które mogę sam naprawić prostym zestawem równie prostych narzędzi. Może być nawet stare. Tym lepiej dla mnie, bo lubię klasykę.

MartinBe,
@MartinBe@mastodon.social avatar

@enkiusz No i właśnie dokładnie o to chodzi. Lepiej pitolić trzy po trzy w netkach, aniżeli zrobić coś konkretnego i pożytecznego. Jesteś Pan tego wręcz idealnym przykładem.
Btw.. Ja się tylko odniosłem do tego, co sam Pan w swoim linku załączył w poprzednim wpisie. I nic więcej.
A nazywanie spraw/ludzi po imieniu i takimi, jakimi są nie jest niczym złym. Wręcz przeciwnie. Oddaje clou i powagę sprawy. Uczono o tym w szkole podstawowej. Może warto wrócić do tych lekcji i sobie przypomnieć?

Finally received the replacement for the replacement axle & installed it on my car today. Now I've got 2 vehicles since I had to get my converted electric motorcycle running so I had wheels while my car was down. It had been so long since I drove my car there were cobwebs between the wheel well & garage floor! I'm finding that people are mechanically challenged nowadays. So far, no one has said, "Oh, what a nice conversion," just, " Cute sticker," not realizing there's no engine on the bike. o_0

AI Laptop REACTIONS!

Checking out all the announcements today from Dell, HP, Microsoft, Samsung, Acer, Asus, and Lenovo! I did a live recording of my reactions.
Windows on ARM is getting REALLY exciting! Here are some things to look out for while shopping a new "AI" laptop!

@SomeGadgetGuy To be honest I will gladly see an list of non-ai powered/supported machines. And yes it is very frustrating, what the manufacturers are doing today, especially for a person who doesn't want to have anything common with all of the forced ai bullshit. Customers who pay attention to this particular topic does not know what they can actually buy, because of lack of such important informations. Okay I can go to the Tuxedo company and get something there, but that's only one vs. many.

MartinBe,
@MartinBe@mastodon.social avatar

@SomeGadgetGuy Nope, there is completely no need to have anything common with windoze and its already totally mainstreamed marked. An pretty good example of that is Tuxedo with their products. I honestly hope that one day they will began to made some mobile stuff as well and as good as they are doing laptops, workstations and gaming machines dedicated to Linux. There are also some other manufacturers equally so well, but I think Tuxedo leads the very correct way.

MartinBe,
@MartinBe@mastodon.social avatar

@SomeGadgetGuy That's true. It is small company, their stuff is not for everyone. But they offer something that you can not find nowhere else. Product quality and client support quality. For that especially I am happily paying my money by buying from them. I have one of their laptops. Amazing thing. It feels like made exactly for me and my preferences. This feeling can not be compared with anything else on the market today. M$ is a monopoly for years, that's why they have such big market amount.

MartinBe,
@MartinBe@mastodon.social avatar

@SomeGadgetGuy No worries, I understand your point. Arm is not a good idea for the future. They are and they were limited from the very beginning, even back then at the designing table. As same thing as with the x86 or x86_64 architecture is. At one point in time they will reach those borders and it will be end of story. But the completely different thing is with the RISC-V. This one is not limited in any way. I think this architecture should be developed very much. That's the future for us all.

Wireless charging sucks!
(Sucks more power that is.)
My buddy Ricky and I did a one-off experiment comparing wireless charging to FAST cabled charging. You can watch part one here https://somegadgetguy.com/b/442

I was pleasantly surprised that Qi charging had improved and kept case temperatures better in check, but we still saw elevated temperatures for roughly two hours on a full charge.

Now, iFixit delivers even more data on wireless charging, and it's not great. You're trading a lot of waste and heat for some mediocre "convenience"...

@SomeGadgetGuy Well.. That's not a novum. These are simple laws of physics that are taught in school. A circuit not galvanically connected will always need more energy to transfer it than a connected one. It's a thing well known for years, since the beginning of the electricity era.

Due to losing control of our Matrix channel, we are officially moving over to Discord for now.

It's a shame, but we can't properly moderate our Matrix, so we can no longer recommend it.

@Im_Dylan @stemy @pixelfed This was also exactly my thought after I read their latest policy/tos changes. That's an unacceptable piece of gibberish. Besides, relaying or making ourselves dependent on something that does not belong to us, especially in the terms of contact with the support/customers is a very bad idea. Especially when lots of other, much better and way more friendly solutions are freely available.

    We are upgrading the preset SimpleX relays to the new version - it is compatible only with the apps starting from v5.5.3 (released early February) - please upgrade to the latest version and ask your friends to upgrade too.

    @simplex Did you already fix the problem with the not working adding profile picture from the device gallery? Adding it from the camera directly works fine, but not when is added from the default device file chooser and/or gallery.

    @dpwiz @simplex I can't update to the 5.7 version. Downloaded the apk but it gives me only a "package parsing error" info. There's no newest version than 5.4 yet in the both of the fdroid provided repositories.
    I tried both apks from links given there, but without any success.

    MartinBe, (edited )
    @MartinBe@mastodon.social avatar

    @simplex Updated today to the 5.7.1 version from your fdroid repo and all I get after the app start is a white screen. Nothing else happens. In such state app remains indefinitely. Won't launch even to the pin lock screen.
    Any advice on how to fix that issue?

    I asked my wife to fill the bug report for me because I don't have github account.
    Here it is:
    https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/issues/4138

    MartinBe,
    @MartinBe@mastodon.social avatar

    @MartinaNeumayer @simplex Yes it does. Cleaned them already but nothing changes. Now is somehow worse I think. If I leave the app without killing it the phone get very hot and reboots itself after circa minute or two.😔
    For now I will bring the previous version from the backup I luckily have and wait patiently for the support response or fix. Nothing much I can do.

    @Mateusz Nie tknął bym tego gówna, choćby tylko dla samej zasady. Poważnie. To co ta firma wyprawia na świecie, a zwłaszcza w biedniejszych jego regionach, to jest jakiś istny koszmar. Np. wysuszanie źródeł wody tylko po to żeby ją butelkować i sprzedawać jakimś milenialsom i innym manadżerom gdzieś w Nowym Jorku po 20$ za flaszkę?

    Nova 8.0.16 has now been pushed to the Play Store STABLE release at a 30% rollout.

    This means that if you are within that lucky 30% today, you will get the update from Nova 7.0.58 to Nova 8.0.16.

    You can view full changelog for all of Nova 8 via this link:

    https://novalauncher.com/beta/long/

    The Nova Launcher Android app icon animated in a very nice way.

    @MartinBe@mastodon.social avatar

    @cliffwade Well, I am not particularly lucky with v8. I rather stay on the latest 7 one.

    So I have a question: how can I detach it from the store, to not accidentally upgrade the app? Somehow the module doesn't work with the Nova. Strange, because all other apps, including YT module is detaching successfully. Only this one not.
    Do I need to detach the official prime "unlocker" as well?

    Or it a chance for some "legacy" variant to be provided for people who don't want to have v8 one?

    MartinBe,
    @MartinBe@mastodon.social avatar

    @cliffwade It is not really an issue or bug. I mean is nothing bad. I just somehow don't like that new ui as I never liked this google pushed everywhere "material ui" flat thing. You know, a matter of taste.
    But ok, I will send you an email, when I will be ready with my work today evening. 👍

    @madargon It is very possible, yes. If it is a pl gov website then everything is possible there. Or even more. Their system is totally messed up, non compliant or compatible with any of the common used, (open too) standards. They made an pretty heavy, unusable, unfriendly for the average person piece of junk. 🤦‍♀️🤮
