con is with, di apart, both in the “is apart” and “drifts apart” way, also “between” and “not”, and trans is, well, also apart, but implying some sense of border, not just (conceptual) distance. I’d say that digress and transgress are comparatively synonym (if you squint in just the right way) and both antonym to congress.

intragress might be an alternative to the missing cisgress, especially as ingress already exists. And then we could have extragress for being not on the inside but not beyond the pale, either.

Or we could stop this silliness and cast out the Normans.

so, the actual opposite of congress would be digress

How about transgress.

With the age of those computers you might even be looking at a HDD. Those should definitely be replaced, SSDs, it depends.

In any case a new 128G SDD is on the order of 15 bucks, well worth the investment even for an age-old system (unless you have a bit more extra cash because the GB/buck optimum is in the 0.5-2T range).

Block, well, fine. Someone ask this fine person then whether they were born a billionaire or are naive enough to believe they can become one in the face of compounding returns. With grit and hard work and so on. All without stepping on other people, which they seem to be opposed to, just not willing to follow up on.

Protip: Don’t ignore the “rich” before “white male”. Might change things not just a little bit.

Oh they certainly do but the SME lobby tends to have more influence. Repair shops are businesses, too.

And it’s not always a good thing, e.g. when it comes to the Supply Chain Act the fat cat lobby was way more sane than the SME one: Nestle doesn’t mind monitoring its supply chain for human rights abuses it’s quite vertically integrated and the practice is a great defence against lawsuits and also getting fucked over / internal corruption while the SMEs are fearing bureaucracy and costs. It’s not like slave farm owners would share their ill-gotten profits with Nestle, they pocket the difference to standard market prices.

there’s only the dealership who can do those repairs.

That’s illegal AF in the EU, or at least Germany. They already got into very hot water for trying to price independent repairs out by making their diagnostic software ludicrously expensive.

I use dvorak on touchscreen because you get way more chains of left and right thumb alternating.

Like Haskell’s (unofficial) motto, “Avoid success at all costs”. Depending on circumstance, that should be read as “(Avoid success) at all costs” or “Avoid (success at all costs)”. We’re mostly in the latter condition I think, with only a couple of things (such as DMs) being shoddy enough that success should be avoided.

And I still can’t find a phone that has a replaceable battery, proper IP rating, and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, alternatively, costs thrice as much as the potato display and CPU would warrant. You can get two of the things, but not all three. I won’t even begin to speak of having an unlocked bootloader, or, while having the rest in place, also a flush camera. FFS I’d be fine with no camera I just don’t want a hump. I’d be fine with 720p, it’s a tiny screen after all, but good contrast and not 8k doesn’t seem to be a thing that companies think anyone would be interested it.

Stop fucking innovating, just apply lessons already learned. Design a phone with the mindset of designing a bottle opener.

I have no idea but this article includes a section. German manufacturers feared a tariff war and aren’t as exposed to Chinese competition in the first place as unlike e.g. the French German companies aren’t competing as much on the low-budget market.

They started the whole thing. They invented and implemented a whole programming language to implement the thing. Then they integrated Stylo (Servo’s CSS engine) and a couple smaller bits into Firefox which made it a hell a lot faster. Then they set Rust free and shelved Servo because from the perspective of Firefox going forwards with rewriting more in Rust would’ve been a lot of investment for diminishing returns. Stylo was the big one, enabling before unseen parallelism in rendering.

Servo, even with FSFE funding, still has ways to go. Ladybird, I wonder why they even bother. If they want a C++ browser engine that hasn’t been touched by big money then there’s KHTML, Webkit/Chromium’s direct ancestor. There’s a reason KDE dropped development: It wasn’t worth the effort. Qt wasn’t willing to pick it up either.

Quoth Article 8:

1. Where point (a) of Article 6(1) applies, in relation to the offer of information society services directly to a child, the processing of the personal data of a child shall be lawful where the child is at least 16 years old.
   Where the child is below the age of 16 years, such processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that consent is given or authorised by the holder of parental responsibility over the child.
   Member States may provide by law for a lower age for those purposes provided that such lower age is not below 13 years.
2. The controller shall make reasonable efforts to verify in such cases that consent is given or authorised by the holder of parental responsibility over the child, taking into consideration available technology.
3. Paragraph 1 shall not affect the general contract law of Member States such as the rules on the validity, formation or effect of a contract in relation to a child.

The referenced point (a) is in the conditions for data processing to be lawful:

the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;

In essence: The age of consent is 16 when it comes to your personal data. A completely different question is whether lemm.ee even processes personal data, even more so in a matter that requires consent. Because unless you doxx yourself lemm.ee knows nothing more about you than your IP and, presuming best practices, only keeps limited logs around for strictly technical purposes which don’t need consent. That point (a) is only one condition under which personal data can be processed, there’s also b, c, d, e, and f.

…not that I’m saying that the legal notice is bad it’s good. It’s overzealous and overcautious going beyond the letter of the law and event intent, reaching into the fabled realms of actually giving a fuck. Like, if the law says “assault is bad” then this notice is saying “please all cuddle, ok?”

Socialism with Dessaline characteristics is, to the best of my knowledge, the ideology of lemmygrad. You know, abolish slavery and then run plantations with forced labour is a very tankie thing to do. I’m sure both Dessalines, the emperor and the lemmy dev one, can explain to you how those two are completely different things.

Lemmygrad and tankies in general have military discipline while hexbear is a vibes-based mob. Authoritarians vs. virtue signallers, one taking over the other would mean popcorn for years.

So… who’s outbidding them? Someone from tankiejerk? Or are their being taken over by lemmygrad, to be introduced to Socialism with Dessaline characteristics?
