I'm pretty sure it's literally impossible? I suspect RCS, just like SMS needs some special telecom interaction.

Legit interesting question.

Bless you.

Which is even more surprising on 'hacker' news. Maybe the average (US-centric) 'hacker' nowadays is just a corporate worker dreaming.

I recently joined a megacorp after decades of small companies and I'm having quite enough fun on the project side and everything. Corporate bureaucracy is nothing after you dealt with actual international bureaucracy. Only downside is that pay is /too low/.

Don't take this the wrong way but corporate are such prima donnas!

I got flashbacks from my tiny startup days when corporate went to procurement companies which wanted specific terms and mode of payment. And after all the infrastructure was in place... they basically spent no money!

The SBOM idea exists in various forms. Few need it and few use it.

If somebody wants to pay money, they will figure out a way. If they want to invent an excuse they will find one.

You backup the disk to more disks. Isn't that how it's done?

Why would one even bother with that when you have like... a cable at hand and disk space.

Though recently simple things as copying files have been a challenge.

> a soft brick, where the device is still working, but fails to boot to a usable state.

Interesting. This means that if I ruin my grub I soft bricked the PC. As long as it's recoverable easily, I wouldn't consider that 'bricking'.

> Could you clarify what you mean by this not sounding like you have root access?

I just meant that if the device is no longer usable, you don't control it (as root). But you clarified that soft-brick is like a boot problem which, if easily fixable, isn't a problem.

> Yes, I know about the warning, I wrote it.

Heh, small world.

I didn't know there's different kinds of bricking. It does NOT sound like having root access.

This big warning is on the front page:

> Warning: Toltec does not support OS builds newer than 2.15.1.1189. You will soft-brick your device if you install before support is released. See remarkable2-recovery for information on how to recover your device if you have done this.

The relatively well off can't even keep a server online.

Silly article. It's basically claiming that since even the relatively well off are not doing so great nowadays due to inflation, etc. they may appreciate some wealth redistribution (to those even poorer) because they now understand inequality. (The article authors also imply inequality will lead to a revolt, aka. the stick).

Yeah, sure! You can bet the relatively well off which are feeling the economic heat will just love to pay more taxes and plunge even more rapidly on the economic ladder.

My garden is full of birds. The neighbour forgot to trim his huge tree one year and it was full of bird nests.

Birds are left with no place to live near / in cities if there's so little gardens and trees.

But put some water, grass and trees and birds show up.

Having a water source is also huge. Saw migratory birds too, multiple years.

I don't think it's on purpose or not but our small towns and back yards are just not welcoming for nature. If there's a little room, animals do come.

But real estate is all about room! People need to keep storing stuff. My neighbors on basically all sides keep building sheds and extending their homes. Pretty soon they will have no grass to speak of. But plenty of room for storage.

True, the open source world never before had a repository and build systems in constant motion. Homebrew is the innovation we needed to make things in software.

Well aren't you a sunshine.

It's just lovely that even command line tools ping home telemetry. There's no place for non-spyware.

> Decently dense.

Is densely living a virtue in itself? Seems so odd.

I mean, if you like to live near a ton of people you should be allowed to do so. But if you do not, you should also be allowed.
