Yes I'm aware, what I'm saying is, in the time between setting up my home server again, I've realised it's not even that useful. I used to think that having my todo and calendar locally on my phone was unusable.

I don't like the idea of moving from google's ecosystem to proton. While they're better, ecosystems tend to get locked down or change for the worse.I'm not planning to repeat the google cycle. I got my own domain for email, bitwarden for passwords, firefox forks for browsing, and many other stuff to get off google. Also I realised that stuff like contacts, notes, calendar don't really need to be on the cloud, but I'm planning to self host some services like that, mostly for the nerd in me.

I think it has to be enabled as a module, and the android kernel has it disabled.

Isn't this putting unsustainable load on the root servers?(on the scenario that many people do that)

If I understand what you're saying, you can do any modulation scheme with sdr, it doesnt depend on the model

The title of the original article calling the app "activism theater" is also extremely rude. The author prefered being a prick than doing the best to fix the app.

I'm not sure what your argument is. I'm not trying to talk about the semantics of the word right. Yeah every human rule is a social construct, I'm just saying this is bad, and it's only the beginning.

I'm guessing you're a US citizen, because this isn't about the US. Many countries in the world are more or less puppies of the US government, it's not like we're living in an isolated world where the decisions of the US government don't apply to others because they're not US citizens. This is showing a general trend, which doesn't concern just visa applications.

Of course its worth making a fuss about it. My social media are private because what's getting shared in it is for close friends and family only. The US government has no right searching through it. This is a big joke and I'm afraid it's only the beginning. Personally, with how things are going, I don't think I'm pursuing a PhD in the US after graduating. What's next, sharing a backup of my private conversations?

I'm afraid we're going into a weird timeline where authoritarian figures in power(not just government) are having immense amounts of data for people, and the technology to go through it without much effort. It's a good time(if it's not to late) for everyone who cares about their privacy to start getting as much as possible outside mainstream social media and centralized accounts(google etc)

A Greek friend of mine who applied for a visa to do a PhD in US about a month ago, was required to unlock their social media profile by the US embassy, this is already happening.

I don't see any signs of AI in the image, also the book in his hands is a real book, usually AI messes up those kind of things.

In my limited understanding, there are many factors differentiating between antennas, different antennas are better at emitting/receiving at different frequencies, and also there's directionality in the mix . For example a satellite dish and an FM radio antenna are both antennas, they're certainly not the same thing.

This doesn't work very good with the kind of sensor in the article
