It’s a bit different because of the stated values though.

Raspberry pi’s foundation is focused on making computers available broadly, while this new organization is focused on making privacy widely accessible.

While both can be commercialized, the pi’s foundation has no fundamental problems with selling out privacy or focusing on money to achieve those goals. Proton would have a much harder time arguing that profiting from sale.of private data supports privacy.

This is relevant because it means even if the remaining shares end up on the stock market, the foundation can use its majority ownership to veto any privacy concerns.

Time will tell. I could also have missed something

A company with a public offering basically cannot refuse a large enough buyout because with a public offering comes a financial responsibility to the shareholders. Public stock is a contract saying give me money and I’ll do my best to make you money back, and it’s very legally binding.

You can avoid this by never going public, but that also means you basically don’t get big investors for expanding what you can offer. A public offering involves losing some of your rights as owner for cash.

When the legal goal becomes “money above all else”, it is hard to justify NOT selling all the data and violating the trust of your customers for money, customer loyalty has to be monetizable and also worth more.

Proton has given a majority share to a nonprofit with a legal requirement to uphold the current values, not make money. This means that the remaining ownership can be sold to whoever, the only way anything gets done is if this foundation agrees. It prevents everything associated with a legal financial responsibility to make money, but still allows the business to do business things and make money, which seems to be proton’s founder’s belief, that the software should be sold to be sustainable.

Seems solid.

It doesn’t change a ton, but the point was basically them putting their money where their mouth is and saying “now we can’t sell out like everything else.”

If you liked them before, this is great. It means google or whoever literally can’t buy them out, it’s not about the money. If you were iffy already because they’re not FOSS or whatever other reason, this doesn’t change that, either, for better or worse

That… Was what you asked for. Things you hadn’t heard of. Now you’re in the lucky 10,000.

If the security camera has alerts like a decent baby monitor, then I see no need to change.

If you already intend to have security cameras, being able to have one that works as a baby monitor but is completely integrated into a real security system just seems like the best of both worlds.

If you currently use the camera to spot check your baby, with no real alert system for issues, then I’d jump straight to a security system that’s capable of that to reduce price over time.

I had a security camera with a built in mic, a cheaper one, and besides getting some false positives, it worked perfectly until my kid didn’t need one anymore. I got an alert on their app when it detected sound and I opened the camera, it wasn’t straight audio, but all I needed was a notification to check it myself.

I regularly send emails to spam that say something along the lines of “Hey, you have free dominos” because I could redeem 20 points for a free ranch dressing. I also get emails about whatever deal they decide to have that week.

I can’t fix that cause I need 60 for the pizza, the 20 is gonna sit idle.

Also while I’m bringing it up, 20 for a sauce? Hell no. 10 would be too high.

But yeah, they’re annoying, but within reason for a rewards program, I do get something from this.

Obviously you need a bluray player per disk and then RAID them together. Simple. Also a lot of extension cords and USB hubs to coordinate all that.

Yeah but 2e is the newer one, and is default now. Assuming 1e is like assuming 4e for DND, it just doesn’t make that much sense.

If the chart was gonna include 1e, it would need to say so explicitly.

Stardew valley, Terraria, tabletop simulator

The bug report also listed mitigation steps including turning off discovery, so it seems to me that if you enable the insecure method, you can just leave discovery off by default, and manually turn it on briefly to pair a new device, then tirn discovery back off.

That’s not what the article said they meant.

An EU split that can comply, and a rest of the world split that continues to monopolize the iPhone.

Yeah mine does, I love it. I just want it to be standard.

Yeah. Wireless charging helps some of that, especially if the pad is itself connected through a USB-C cable.

Ideally, in my mind, someday phones themselves will be able to charge wireless devices, so we’ll connect the phone through the USB-C cable and place the watch on top and they’ll both be ready to go in the morning.

Well, assuming no one will have direct experience, there’s two safe options.

You can get a virtual machine and install it there, and run every virus scanner you can find on it before installing it on your normal machine, or you can just leave it on the virtual machine and permanently sandbox it.

You can do the same with an old computer, too, just disconnect the internet after downloading.

Sadly, too many would be afraid to be a good name. Sets itself up as a target.

Encyclopedia is “general education”, referring to its broad scope. Wikipedia added wiki as a reference to the source, so the best one would be {source}pedia.

Fedepedia isn’t awful but feels… bland, in my opinion.

Something like consolidate is a good synonym for it, but consolipedia also doesn’t feel right to me, so if we’re not referring to the federated part, we’d have to refer to the decentralized part. Decentropedia is fairly decent, but I’m fond of Micropedia, because the root word is very common, and I feel it’s catchier than decentropedia. Either of those are good though.

Dang I didn’t think of that.

Could definitely play it on a computer and link the sound to a recording device, although then you lose all the metadata like chapter info and get some loss. But as a personal copy, that’s arguably fine.

Piracy and libraries can mix. Once you have your file, use calibre or similar to strip out the DRM and then return the book immediately.

Raises the borrowings in the library’s records, showing use, lets someone else borrow the book, and now you don’t have to return your DRM-free copy.

A contract related to Disney in Florida wanted a forever, couldn’t legally do it, but you could do a timeframe from a person, so they picked the last British monarch after a certain birth cutoff, essentially giving them something like 300 years (very rough estimate don’t remember well enough) in a contract that wasn’t intended to really do more than 100.

You can’t really avoid it in any easy way. If you could, the field of statistics would get a decent amount simpler. The only way to deal with the bias is with a survey pulled from random people, which you can’t really do easily here.

But this one will have a lot of bias, all the same.
