  • Solar is winning the energy race

    Jump

  • Yeah, honestly speaking, solar power might be the "fusion" moment we need in the climate crisis. Solar powered AC means that people will reduce their risk of heat-induced illness and death.

  • TSA lines are so out of control that travelers are hiring line-sitters

    Jump

  • Very American solution to an American problem. Also it's discouraged by the airport because it competes with the airport's own front-of-the-line concierge program.

  • Years ago, one of my buddies tried to open a very long spreadsheet and Libreoffice couldn't do it. I think the maximum row and columns reached parity in version 7. I think one more cosmetic feature that is missing is the easy to access table and chart style templates.

  • Oil at $150 will trigger global recession, says boss of financial BlackRock

    Jump

  • I predict this will be a big shock for countries over a couple years, but if it persists after that, countries will get over the lack of supply because usage of oil and gas in heating, transportation and power generation should drop by 20% to offset the loss.

    Aluminum and other materials from the Middle East will take longer to replace.

  • Supreme Court appears ready to make voting even harder

    Jump

  • Oops, the conservative justices' "political question" doctrine is about to vanish in a puff of hypocritical smoke!

  • Natures wine bottle openers

    Jump

  • A duck walked up to the lemon cake stand. And he said to the man, running the stand...

  • Trump threatens to attack Iran's power plants if Strait of Hormuz not opened within 48 hours

    Jump

  • I don't think that's how you get someone to cooperate voluntarily.

    Nevertheless, I thought Pete Hegseth said the Strait is open already save for a totally minor obstacle to safe shipping, that Trump or anyone shouldn't worry about.

  • GOP Senate candidate on rising gas prices: ‘Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks’

    Jump

  • I guess they can continue to enjoy paying their Epstein Fury tithe at the gas pump if they want.

  • If you love Trump with every breath till you die, go buy a solar panel, inverters, LFP batteries, and WFH, bike or take a bus to work.

    (If you don't love Trump, do it anyway)

  • Did we win? Google to continue to allow side loading

    Jump

  • The scammer is not going to be on the phone with the victim for 24 hours continuously.

  • Did we win? Google to continue to allow side loading

    Jump

  • Yeah, I take issue with that, but I don't think it would be used if people complain to banks that reading the flag bricks the app.

  • I tend to favour privacy over big tech control, but I recognize we have to at least consider the cost-benefit of these tradeoffs, to live in a society. Of course I'd prefer a phone with no warnings, no nagging, if you get scammed that's my fault and I will keep my phone that way if it means I will stay off Android 15 and de-Google my next phone. But Google's plan is within the realm of an acceptable compromise to me because sideloading is still available to everyone without registration with Google. Each person will feel differently about it.

    Taking your position to the extreme, if trading liberty for comfort is "always" a bad idea with no exceptions, you can turn off your phone and do without the comfort of it. (Only saying this because always is the word you chose to use.) To accept cellular and home internet services to communicate in the public realm requires you to give up some level of privacy, though of course it can be possible to stop a lot of the unnecessary surveillance that happens along with the necessary tradeoff.

    Jump

  • If the process doesn't include any phone home stuff, and is just a one-time cool off period to prevent scammers, this is acceptable to me. That should be enough to get potential victims to self-question, ask more knowledgeable people of what's going on to avoid being unknowingly hacked, without being naggy every time for users that want to do what they want.

    Making a software "foolproof" will probably invent a bigger better fool, hoping for some sort of free crypto app jumping through these hoops, but this should weed out most of the basic scams.
