  • Because there's alternatives. You don't have to use the subway if it breaks down, and people have enough brains to take a taxi or walk instead.

    This is 60 people going, "Fuck, the subway is down. Guess I can't travel anywhere, now."

  • Stop spreading doom and gloom before the fight has even begun. That would be a good start.

  • Meshtastic does not have the bandwidth to replace the internet. It handles message just fine, but the amount of data you'd need to send for even a quarter of what the current internet can provide would feel like trying to surf the modern internet on a 56k modem.

  • Cool, so I guess you're just okay with an authoritarian State. Just gonna roll over at the first opportunity?

  • Or bribery. Though with this administration, probably both.

  • Never heard of this, but it seems like an interesting idea. Probably not something I would use myself, but I wish y'all the best of luck!

  • Hell, you can also get Portmaster, which is still open source.

    I agree, I don't know why this bit of software is getting all this attention.

  • It's not an exploit. It's a built-in setting in Signal, and the Android options are identical to the one displayed above. You can turn off notification history in Android as well, so it has no stored record of cleared notifications at all.

  • Neat, I thought this one was Windows-only.

  • Yeah, they're a bit territorial, so that would be something to see!

  • Thanks for this! That's kinda what it sounded like. I'm going to have to give this a try this weekend.

  • Never heard of it, like ever.

    Seems like such a great investment, therefore. /s

  • I don't like this April Fool's joke. A bit too close to reality.

  • Just an idea:

    • Get an HDD
    • Use dd to clone your NVME Windows drive.
    • Install Linux on your NVME.
    • Boot Windows from the HDD as you find you need it (which I suspect would be a lot less than you think).
    • If you find you need to go back to Windows, just reclone onto the original drive.

    I bet you'll eventually reclaim the HDD, though. I kept mine for about two years, and I nuked it last week, because I hadn't even opened it, much less booted it, in over a year.

  • Can I ask about the last bit? Is it like having different dev environments or profiles, and you can just use them as needed?

  • The irony is that this is like Skynet, but if it had Alzheimer's.

  • And yet, they chose to demo a broken technology with obvious bugs and flaws. The demos from tech companies are supposed to make people excited, not recoil in disgust.

    This isn't some tiny company, either. It's fucking nVidia, who supposedly has the money to create a good demo.

  • We are just pointing out that the law isn’t set in stone, yet.

    Even the California one, which has already passed, is not set in stone, and Gavin Newsome passed it with instructions to fine tune the details before it goes live in 2027.

    Which is fucking stupid to pass a law before it's fully cooked, but that's a different conversation.

  • Oh, that's an interesting way to do it. You'd probably have to have a handful of moderators each for the various comms, but it sounds like it would at least resist lazy engagement.
