If you ever need a language buddy, let me know.

There is also a Learn Dutch discord that is fairly active.

Duolingo sucks ass for learning languages. Dutchpod101 is pretty good, but the best is a combination of dutch books + listening like dhtchpod101 or some simple news podcasts or so.

You can also look at the MKBHD 2024 smartphone camera comparison test with the FP5. I would suggest taking the test yourself if that is still possible.

I would guess that the camera will be comparable. (Everything below if FP5 assuming about the same performance with the FP6)

For me, daylight pics were after all of the pixels but before anything else. I like the more neutral not supremely over-saturated over-sharpened/smoothed pictures that many phones take nowadays.

For me, it was middle of the pack for dimly lit photos.

For the overall ELO with everyone, FP5 was on the mid-lower end (of a comparison of all flagships + pixel A series), but perfectly usable for people who aren’t doing social media as a job.

Tons of stuff are not on fdroid due to requirements by fdroid, a longer process to push releases, etc…

It works for many apps, but there is IzzyOnDroid for much faster releases as well as dozens of fdroid repos for specific projects by default available on NeoStore.

I am not experienced enough to know the ins and outs of why fdroid is so difficult and slow for some devs, but it has been someone limited in apps at times because of it.

Rip bismuth. It worked almost perfectly in plasma5 and with rewrites in plasma6 it broke and the dev didn’t want to rewrite it.

Though as a kind of “exception”, I think that charging poles for electric cars should have modbus or Ethernet and a local protocol (matter maybe?) to use with smart home systems for automation and cars should have a standard affordable way to check errors and status of sensors.

That is true, but for embedded development it sucks because of specialty drivers, access to dbus, udev rules, etc… And distrobox with vscodium or code oss has some big big slowdowns that I can’t figure out.

Saleae software simply won’t work consistently in distrobox, for example. Luckily they have an app image so I could just install it there and set a few settings and now it works well. Sigrok Pulseview is better but needs a few not-dependency packages to work around it.

There is some weirdness to atomic distros and bazzite, but I am pretty happy with it!

I use bazzite on my desktop.

The problem with the set it and forget it nature is that when updates stop working, it “forgets” to tell you.

If you layer any packages, you will run into this, but even without package layering, there have been a number of bugs reported recently about this.

I have auto updates and notifications on (and I switched them off and on again and verified the settings) and haven’t gotten a single update notification for months even though I can update manually successfully.

Do you happen to know when the last time was that a rich company was prosecuted for this?

It seems a lot like the perjury laws: there to scare poor people into telling the truth because of almost non-existant prosecution of it.

And if it is a fine and not jail time (white collar crimes are almost never jail time) the fine would have to be much larger than the penalties they would not have to pay because of the crime, otherwise it is simply a net win for the company

Read and think critically. It is all arbitrary. If we cut off people at 18 or 24, why shouldn’t we cut them off at 50? There is scientific evidence both ways.

Not to mention that IQ is pretty much a farce and completely biased by certain types of education and only measures a small subset of human brain function, The cutoff would also be completely arbitrary.

Not everything is a personal indictment on you or your beliefs.

That is a quite popular opinion judging by the votes. I think they function quite differently, and are useful for different things, which might be more unpopular.

BSD and MIT are more like “public domain” or “creative commons” licenses. Some people genuinely just don’t care and want literally anyone to use their work.

Libraries, languages, APIs, OS’s, etc… Work well because they have mass adoption. They have mass adoption (often) because people get the freedom to use them during their paid time. Companies are exploitative and evil, but often their dev and engineer employees aren’t.

Copy left licenses (GPL, AGPL, CERN-OHL-S to not forget about open source hardware) really shine for end products like hardware, applications, hosted software, games, etc… Where you want to preserve a “unique” end product against theft, exploitation, and commercialization, and really care about having not everyone be able to do whatever they want.

Then cap the voting age at 50 when cognitive decline of the frontal lobe really kicks in, if we are talking about fully developed brain function.

Neural plasticity has even declined once you are past your 20s. One of the reasons people find it much much harder to learn a new language past then, for example.

reasoning, memory, and speed of reasoning reaches a decline threshold when you are around 40.

My unpopular opinion is I guess that humans were never evolved to live as long as we do (and certainly not meant to labor as long) so everything in our brain gets very wonky. Empathy is also one of the things stunted with age. There is a reason the “grump old man” trope exists.

EDIT: Maybe I wasn’t clear enough. Pretty much everything regarding age is arbitrary because you are “developing” until your mid 20s and then you start declining, brain-wise. It is all arbitrary. And then the above poster doesn’t even check that I am a different person than the original comment and sends me a hate message somehow thinking that I am wishing death on him (why would anyone wish for a stranger to die?) for simply pointing out that our brains get weirder with age especially because we are forced to work for much longer and often have less empathy.

This is absolutely so true. All of the “hunting” survivalists don’t realize that you would essentially have 1000 people hunting every 1 deer if you live in the suburbs and not that much better rurally. This isn’t 1800 anymore.

The best thing you can do is have enough land to farm, learn how to farm, and stock the hell up on base ingredients (wheat, rice, dry beans, lentils) and stock up on as many seeds as you know how to grow. Even then; one bad harvest and you starve.

But seriously, I can’t stress dry beans and lentils enough. They last forever, they can be sprouted and replanted, and they have many many times more protein than corn or rice which is very important when you go vegan.

Also getting ducks will give eggs for additional protein and B12 vitamins that you would miss out on otherwise.

HealthyPi will be a too option too. Much more fitness focused than pinetime or banglejs

Belgium is moving more and more to a much better place just because of regulations anyeay

Solar panels and batteries in a shit ton of homes because of energy prices and older government incentives

10000L rain water tanks because government regulations now require rainwater hookups for future toilers and washing machines plus water is expensive here

Induction stoves to not have to put extraction fans in the kitchen to the outside to boost energy EPC ratings (resale value)

We always have a bunch of potatoes and cans of tomatoes and pasta for fries, mashed potatoes, or different pastas (but maybe that is just my family)

A ton of people would be quite OK for a while here I think.

It simply is too buggy and crashes too often for complex assemblies and professional work. Especially if the rest of your company uses SolidWorks or similar where FreeCAD can’t export to the format

When time isn’t money, it’s fine and is only sometimes frustrating nowadays.

Uneven globs of paint would probably dampen it enough to make it less effective.

A high powered CO2 laser could puncture the membranes probably.

Then the question is: what is being smart or dumb? If acting dumb in 90% of life while having the capability of being smart isn’t “being dumb” then what is?

If someone who has the capability of being 50/100 intelligent and is always acting 50/100, I would argue they are smarter than someone capable of 80/100 intelligence but acts 20/100 intelligence for 90% of their life.

I also use ubiquiti. It is the apple of WiFi systems, for better or worse.

I have yet to be able to find if they are privacy respecting or not. I am leaning more towards no since everything is by default through their cloud (my brand new UCG-ultra wouldn’t even let me set it up locally, it would break when trying to set it up locally via the app and DNS & IPs would be messed up so I couldn’t even contact it to fix it, I had to hard reset it and do it via their cloud)

Tuta also has a free tie up to 1GB. Been slowly switching over for a few years. It isn’t perfect and you can only use the first party app for “security” but tuta supports a ton of privacy efforts within the EU also
