Natanael@slrpnk.netOPto Thunder App•Option to bypass image proxying (retry option with direct request)1·5 days agoPosted there now
I have alts. No automatic sync, but you can list your alts in your profile like I do.
On mobile make sure to use a client which makes it easy to switch between accounts (I use Thunder, which additionally shows server status in the account switcher!)
Natanael@slrpnk.netto Meta (slrpnk.net)@slrpnk.net•SLRPNK Community Discussion - June 2025English12·1 month agoNice to see the status lights back on green!
Natanael@slrpnk.netto Technology•The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.English4·2 months ago[Windows subsystem] for [executable environment] is the naming scheme. The default is Win32, there’s one for POSIX (practically never used), and Linux runs in another.
Natanael@slrpnk.netto Eurovision Song Contest•Eurovision: Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez calls for Israel to be banned - BBC NewsEnglish62·2 months agoEBU insisted it would be political to kick out Israel but said no such thing about kicking out Russia
But the more practical reason: a bunch of member states threatened leaving over Russia’s participation and haven’t done so over Israel
Natanael@slrpnk.netto Ask Lemmy•Is there a term for *exploiting the letter of the law for malicious gain*, particularly knowing that the opponent will be bound by the letter of the law despite the negative outcome?4·3 months agoMalicious compliance is when you follow a order or law knowing that it will backfire on those who issued it.
“Lawfare” is a comparable term but not quite it (basically legal harassment campaigns).
Natanael@slrpnk.netto Technology•Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish governmentEnglish4·3 months agoThis affects the view of posts via the bluesky servers, but not via mirrors or other servers
And the use of content addressing means you can be sure it hasn’t been modified
Natanael@slrpnk.netto Technology•The Fairphone 5 price has been dropped to €499. The phone is designed to be the most advanced environmentally friendly smartphone.English4·3 months agoSeveral Android manufacturers have their own settings in the OS for battery longevity (automatic schedule based smart charging, or charging limits)
Don’t think it’s native in Android. Charging limits need support in the charging controller chip, plus driver support in the OS.

Natanael@slrpnk.netto politics •Coal Miners Sue Trump Admin After It Halts Black Lung Protections10·3 months agoOr make a rule that bosses have to try out everything they suggest for others first, let them Darwin award themselves instead of others
Wireguard is most reliable in terms of security. For censorship resistance, it’s all about tunneling it in a way that looks indistinguishable from normal traffic
Domain or IP doesn’t make much of a difference. If somebody can block one they can block the other. The trick is not getting flagged. Domain does make it easier to administer though with stuff like dyndns, but then you also need to make sure eSNI is available (especially if it’s on hosting) and that you’re using encrypted DNS lookups
Telegram has been under fire from the start, lol. 'we have math PhDs" 🤷
There’s also a big difference between published specifications and threat models for the encryption which professionals can investigate in the code delivered to users, versus no published security information at all with pure reverse engineering as the only option
Apple at least has public specifications. Experts can dig into it and compare against the specs, which is far easier than digging into that kind of code blindly. The spec describes what it does when and why, so you don’t have to figure that out through reverse engineering, instead you can focus on looking for discrepancies
Proper open source with deterministic builds would be even better, but we aren’t getting that out of Apple. Specs is the next best thing.

Natanael@slrpnk.netto News•A new DOJ memo argues that immigration judges can be stripped of civil service protections. That could lay the groundwork for firing them if they don’t rule the “right” way.1·4 months agoI did pay attention, and I saw noone serious think that would be legal to do
The biggest errors was not pushing harder against his first campaign, not pushing harder during the impeachments, letting Jan 6 go without another impeachment, and not calling out the billionaires helping his campaign with the intent to dismantle agencies that protect people, etc.
The SCOTUS appointments were big issues but due to the timing meaning they happened when dems lacked majorities there wasn’t much to do about them. Getting Trump out of the office is the only fix.
Only exception would’ve been SCOTUS reform immediately after Biden’s election when he had a majority, but the problem there is he couldn’t get enough votes for it

That could lay the groundwork for firing them if they don’t rule the “right” way.2·4 months agoHow were they supposed to override the “turtle” though? Sure they should’ve fought harder, but what legal options were there?

The one that survived without needing to be shut off essentially serves as proof of viability, and combined with the data from the ones that was repaired it helps them figure out how to adjust the design and manufacturing to make every unit last longer. Basically, future turbines should be cheaper to run.
