Society will frame this as self-sacrifice. They won't recognize that you're trying to survive long-term. They'll pretend blindly following commands would give you better chances of survival and health than a "refusal" that leads to 6 months of unemployment. They will sacrifice your health and well-being in the name of reframing what you're doing, pretending you're the one sacrificing your health and well-being to protest your choices not being exactly what you want, when you're actually just trying to survive while offered choices that aren't viable.

Or maybe you actually are intentionally protesting. Nothing wrong with that. But a lot of people aren't

I'm not accepting the premise, that's why I use nostr on the internet and actual library buildings off the internet.

But it is mandatory, whether that's acceptable or not. Authorities in the US aren't gonna suddenly change their mind when it's your local librarian instead of the Internet Archive trying to run things differently from the corporations. The librarian needs better infrastructure to stand up to the authorities and break away from the corporate way

Then the libraries would have to pay for hosting, so they'd have to be the ones selling user data to advertisers and stuff. Hence the extra degree of separation / "plausible deniability"

If the hivemind cared about actual important priorities (instead of just the desire for low oil prices), then the Internet Archive would face more pressure to improve its infrastructure and the authorities would face more pressure to leave the Internet Archive tf alone.

Nostr can fix this someday

We also haven't tried every possible configuration of atoms to see if anything creates a portal to an infinite energy dimension or a perpetual motion machine or something we can use to make our own stars

The sources are just people who know saying it, like me. The designers wouldn't publicly admit it or anything.

Cell phone range is impacted by ground obstruction, the curvature of the earth itself getting in the way, atmospheric effects

The closest satellites are about 160km up, where a 3G transmitter can reach when it's looking straight up with no Earth and less air in the way

The companies that designed the 3G standard and manufactured some of the phones also do military contracts for stuff like the radios in spy satellites, they knew what they were doing

It also stands out as intentional because making the range go beyond the curvature of the earth is just crippling infrastructure, wasting battery and putting millions of people in danger (can't call 911 with a dead phone)

Lower-power devices with mesh networking would have made more sense with the powerful processors and high usage phones were getting by the middle of the 3G era, but the "cellular" design is much more convenient to monitor

It's definitely designed to be able to send signals to satellites, and there are satellites designed to pick up signals from devices that aren't designed to reach them.

But, they can also just see where your car is going visually, and get any audio/video from inside with your phone that connects directly to cell towers, so you might be right that no satellite is actually ever spying on your car's 3G modem.

Sure, in the prime timeline. But in the pocket universe alternate timeline where time travelers went and executed the perpetrators, I'd say the instructors' concerns were addressed

On January 1st of 2026, Texas will be required to give ID to download apps from the app stores. It doesn't matter if it's NSFW or not. in c/technology@lemmy.world

There is precedent. Hitler was taken out by a pretty big fascism enabler

That's awesome, reminds me of a common historic setup where cable cars were used kinda like that (heavier on the way down)

It could be an OK idea that just wasn't explained right. Maybe he just wants regen braking but with one wheel for charging and the other wheel + separate battery for power at any given time. Energy would come from pedalling and hills. None of that was explained though

You can power lights or a phone charger with a dynamo connected to the wheel and minimally noticeable drag/resistance. You can recharge a drivetrain with regenerative braking which requires high end motors to use the motor like a dynamo

It's not free energy, but there's at least one bike called the Pi-Pop that works this way in order to spread the energy demand from hills across more distance for the rider. It's an electric bike you can't plug in, it only charges from moving

The GitHub cure: Radicle + P2P + Tor + nostr + Monero (Project Zymogen) (sh.itjust.works)

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/48004864

I submitted this project bounty to try to improve the state of decentralized git, so now I'm promoting it where I can (first time using Lemmy).

This was drafted for a niche audience and it's not really self-explanatory, it might require reading a lot of background stuff to make any sense. Feel free to discuss, and I'll try to remember to check here and respond.

Funding is currently at about 5 XMR at time of posting. Please share this post if you find it interesting.

Nostr mirror

Project Zymogen

Goal: to potentially create a decentralized GitHub.

Phase I

Radicle, forked or mimicked (with reasonably close feature parity)

including a desktop app with both Linux AppImage and build-from-source availability¹ (as a response to desktop.radicle.xyz)

including a javascript-free Tor browser interface (one-upping app.radicle.xyz)

using nostr's keypair formats, replacing Radicle's

[desktop app] default launch state is offline, waiting for the user to click a fully-integrated "connect to Tor" button, meanwhile allowing them to access offline data or reconfigure settings (including bypassing the default Tor integration)

[desktop app] including an easy, automated way to generate onion service keys, use them to seed repos, and host an instance of the browser interface (the main important part here is a simple method of seeding to make the app truly P2P)

At this point, if no one else beats them to it,² I believe this fork's dev(s) + Radicle's devs might want to ask Jack Dorsey about his separate 10 Bitcoin bounty for a decentralized GitHub (unafilliated with me or this Monero bounty)

Phase II

+7. [desktop app] including an easy way to enter wallet addresses, including Monero (XMR) / doggie (DOGE) / Bitcoin (BTC), for tipping npubs (possibly compatible with Garnet's profile metadata)

+8. [desktop app] no built-in wallet - just links to wallet addresses, opening external wallets³

Point 9 removed

At this point, I anticipate the devs should hopefully be receiving good amounts of tips, even if Jack Dorsey isn't paying out

Phase III

+10. project repo hosted on itself, and backed up on a traditional platform such as the Internet Archive (or, if there's no avoiding it, GitHub)

+11. Full bounty payout issued after project has been hosted on itself for long enough to demonstrate the aforementioned requirements, to at least one or two observers, using its own repo as an example

Footnotes

¹ A Linux AppImage and easy building from source are the specific availability factors of Radicle that I deem most important to match. There is no requirement in this bounty to match Radicle on other builds, like Windows or MacOS or Debian. Those are all optional.

² A payout from Jack Dorsey might seem dubious. It is subject to his own arbitrary personal taste; it's already been up for a long time, for others to start working on, or for Jack to lose interest in; meanwhile, others might already be working on similar (or not-so-similar) solutions. Therefore, this bounty relies on its own Monero funding, and probably doesn't help with Jack's bounty.

³ As a courtesy, please consider continuing to prioritize vital improvements (especially stability and GitHub feature parity) over complicated wallet integrations, even after the bounty is paid out.
