CF aside, I’m not the biggest fan that Ladybird decided on Swift, since it’s such an Apple-centric language. Wish they’d sponsored Servo instead.

That’s curious, I wonder why? I’ll include the official Sony page on it in the post too.

There is still this. SONY’s phones are expensive, unfortunately.

Can you explain why? Does your threat model involve nation state actors compromising your phone physically?

You somehow managed to not see all the posts about Chinese police overseas service stations?

They don’t make it easy, I had to wait for two weeks before I could, and had to run an unsigned binary to do it. Can not recommend buying one to unlock.

All three food-disease links received a two-star rating under the BoP system. This means: The evidence is statistically significant, but not very strong (due to inconsistent data or methodological limitations).

Good for earth.com to note that:

Observational data cannot prove causation, and dietary questionnaires can be imprecise, so caution is warranted when interpreting the size of the effects.

This is meta-analysis so it’s likely inconsistent what counts as soda or hotdogs since they likely vary across each underlying study. I wonder if confounding factors include things like if the hotdogs come with bread and condiments, or size of a serving of soda. How often were the hotdogs consumed with soda? Were the results of the underlying studies adjusted with multivariate regression? To be on the safe side, best avoid all ultraprocessed foods altogether.

You can also science cooking. Meat thermometers are absolutely fantastic.

Yes, that’s right, so I did. I wanted to have a go to see what it was about, though, and I found that root was more important for me than the security that GOS purports to offer.

And when Google itself is one of your threat actors, literally the world’s worst solution that provides the barest modicum of protection against Google is by definition more secure.

This was what I learned.

I’ve done something similar trying to get root on Graphene OS, since I’m more far more concerned about corporations than nation-state actors. It can be done, but isn’t worth the trouble, especially since it doesn’t completely work and GOS updates may break it. Long story short, GOS wasn’t for me.

For anyone else who might be interested in trying to root GOS, take a look here: https://github.com/schnatterer/rooted-graphene I believe this to be likely the most comprehensive source for getting started.

It’s pretty rich that Google persists in putting on the charade of caring about privacy.

Yes, I always start singing on the second line because of this.

I wonder what motivates it, are they being paid off by some other organizations?

The OP’s account is now deleted, but:

For one thing, being used for paying taxes in the USA?

Perhaps the lesser of the two evils, considering Google’s dominance. But yes, far from ideal.

Maybe at some point we can all stop watching and hence supporting YouTube, that’d be nice.

Elegant!

Could you show us the frequency response for the Bose vs the LCD-5s and tell us why you prefer the Bose?

I look at the length of my shadow, if it’s not taller than I am I use an umbrella.
