In some ways this seems awful - plastic in our bodies, really?

But I would likely happily make that tradeoff if I had some horrible illness or life-affecting disability that could be remedied with an implant.

If I had to choose between the ability to use my legs and “only” living to 75 instead of 85, for example, I’d take the implant 10 times out of 10.

Hopefully not, the Dune universe isn’t one I’d particularly like to live in lol

Just what we need. The opinions of someone who thinks having sex with children is a good thing.

People were saying it in the comments before the recent press release even came out. Do you think they knew it by magic?

Good thing Linus was never talking about Russian people in general then, isn’t it?

Completely reasonable for Linus not to like such an aggressive, genocidal shithole of a country. And it’s also fair to not give sanctioned Russian companies a deep level of access to his kernel.

And btw, for being Polish it seems weird that you constantly post in US politics communities and never in any polish ones.

4K monitors don’t work in Linux? Lmao that’s demonstrably not true.

And what the hell ki d of scripts do you need to run at startup?

It’s fucking hilarious when people are so confidently and aggressively wrong like this.

Wouldn’t do that much harm to Apple. All it would do is break people’s devices without their consent. Not to mention all that e-waste.

It was known beforehand.

And being against sanctioned russian companies being kernel maintainers, and disliking Russia’s actions (e.g. invasion, mass rape, genocide) isn’t xenophobic.

Absolutely based from Torvalds. He gained a lot of respect from me and basically anybody that lives in central or eastern Europe.

Nothing has indicated that this is the case, other than the thing saying that this is the case.

Except it doesn’t, like with their smoking example.

Or, if you’d like another… there are age requirements for buying alcohol. Based on your comments, there must be a massive thriving black market for selling moonshine to kids, yet I’ve seen zero evidence of such a thing.

*sanctioned companies. Not individual people.

Random people can still contribute.

I don’t think you understood their point.

Supposedly starting in 2027, all phones sold in EU will have user replaceable batteries.

Unfortunately, while the law is certainly an improvement, it’s not as good as the headlines have misled people to believe.

Anybody who thinks they’ll be popping the back off their phone and changing the battery like it’s 2006 will be disappointed.

The law stops the most egregious stuff (like glueing the battery down excessively in a way that requires specialised tooling to remove), but that’s about as far as it goes.

A confident tinkerer shouldn’t have an issue. But it’s a far cry from what many seem to think the law is.

There are also exceptions. If you guarantee the capacity being over X (I can’t remember what the law stipulates) after 3 years, the battery doesn’t have to be removable. And IIRC, it’s not a particularly ambitious amount. Like 74% or something.

I’m pro open source, which is why I don’t want the Russian government interfering with it for their own geopolitical bullshit.

That instance’s mods blocked me this morning lol.

The amount of people simping for Russia in that other thread is insane. Apparently calling Ukraine a country of Nazis is fine, but saying Russia is a dictatorship is not lmao.

If you see a tankie or pro Russia comment, 99% of the time it’s a lemmy.ml poster
