Well, I mean, are they not?

The real problem is the people in charge taking a common abbreviation of an arguably positive ideology, twisting that abbreviation into a "scary" name, calling it a violent group, packaging it all up with a neat little bow, and then parroting it to the brainwashed masses.

Techbros rediscovering old principles, a tale as old as....well, since the tech industry.

It's an indictment, not a conviction. This will be thrown out the second it reaches a judge's desk.

Remember: a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich.

But now, a group of people identifying themselves as “non-African-American voters” have sued to get those racially proportionate maps thrown out,

The delicious irony here is those same people are the first ones to scream "stop making everything about race".

He doesn't care. He got his, fuck everyone else.

"Anonymous" is not an organized group. It can be literally anyone.

Daniel resigned as the head developer a few years ago.

The incident in question happened before that. Also, he's still listed as a Graphene OS Foundation director, which means he still has a lot of pull.

I always see these comments conveniently leave that out.

You should probably brush up on your research instead of simping.

This was posted 2 days ago. Of course things have changed.

I don't know... Part of me thinks that someone overruled Daniel on this decision. He stepped down as the main dev years ago, but is still a director... maybe the other directors overruled Daniel?

But again, I don't know. I'm just shooting from the hip.

In all the time i looked online Ive never found a legitimate basis for these vague claims of drama around Graphene. See a lot of it in Louis Rossman circles (nothing against him, but he made a dramatic video on YT about leaving GrapheneOS) it’s reactionary at best. Someone got blocked people got mad, full story only the ones directly involved know.

Louis was directly involved with this. He's the one who exposed the whole situation and brought receipts.

Daniel is extremely paranoid (arguably part of why GOS is as secure as it is), but that paranoia can also lead to anxiety and assuming everyone is "out to get you".

Should come from their pay and/or benefits.

I agree.

However, I'm more than happy to contribute my share of taxes to this man's payout specifically because fuck ICE

 

I'm in the process of getting my Home Assistant environment up and running, and decided to run a test: it turns out that my gaming PC (custom 5800X3D/7900XTX build) uses more power just sitting idle, than both of my storage freezers combined.

Background: In addition to some other things, I bought two "Eightree" brand Zigbee-compatible plugs to see how they fare. One is monitoring the power usage of both freezers on a power strip (don't worry, it's a heavy duty strip meant for this), and the other is measuring the usage of my entire desktop setup (including monitors and the HA server itself, a Lenovo M710q).

After monitoring these for a couple days, I decided that I will shut off my PC unless I'm actively using it. It's not a server, but it does have WOL capability, so if I absolutely need to get into it remotely, it won't be an issue.

Pretty fascinating stuff, and now my wife is completely on board as well; she wants to put a plug on her iMac to see what it draws, as she uses it to hold her cross-stitch files and other things.

7 months later update:

I've expanded HA quite a bit and have a decent grasp on where my electricity is being used. Suspending my desktop has saved a shitload of power: under Linux, when suspended, it draws ~10W of power at any given time vs ~100W when idle. Also, I put smart plugs on the server cluster; the total usage of the entire cluster - 4 mini PCs, 1 SFF, and 5x HDDs (NAS) - over the last 7 months so far is currently at a whopping 465 kWh. That's ~66 kWh a month. Barely 5% of my monthly electrical usage.
