Should Ukraine build the bomb? How would you feel if they did?
  • That's my understanding. Furthermore, they had the nuclear weapons of the soviet union. Even if they could maintain them at the time, without much of the infrastructure that the soviet Union had, I think legally they were Moscow's. Moscow held the metaphorical button, if not the physical one. Similar to US nuclear weapons in Germany aren't controlled by Berlin.

    That being said, I think this whole war has lead to a situation where nuclear armament is very appealing, not just to Kyiv but to many of the similar states looking on. It is again, for world peace we need less nukes in the world, for Ukraine's sovereign safety, they need (more) nukes.

  • Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills
  • Wikipedia says Gen Z is born from mid to late 90s, which makes me a Gen Z'er. I use adblocker and try combat enshittification a few ways, including contributing to the commons. My day job is being a firmware developer for an opensource company. I'd say I'm tech savvy.

    I think there are quite a lot of people like me, it is just that there are more people using technology at younger ages, effectively diluting the pool of Gen Z'ers you are encountering both online and in person.

  • [Side Of Burritos] GrapheneOS Tablet: 1 Year Update and All the Apps I Use
  • Didn't have time yet to watch all of the video, but on my own GrapheneOS device, and assume especially useful on tablets, I have been using Molly for Signal messaging.

    Its cool because I can use an existing account (already attached to a phone number) so the device doesn't require a SIM. The normal Signal app does not support this.

    Unfortunately at the moment I am having to use "Molly" not "Molly FOSS", meaning I have some of the proprietary blobs in normal Signal app. It is currently too much hassle (for me) to setup notifications with the FOSS version.

  • Introducing Raspberry Pi Pico 2
  • Been playing with the one on my desk at work for the last few months. Cool device, wish it have a few more (and more accurate) ADCs. At the moment still having to use external ADCs in our solutions as the RP2040 (or RP2350 for that matter) don't have enough ADCs. The onboard STM ADCs I have found to be pretty accurate and there's usually 2 or 3 with 16 channels each.

  • Is TypeScript a fad or is my manager delusional?
  • Interesting argument. I have used both typescript and JavaScript, but I spend 99% of my time writing firmware in C, because of this I LOVE strongly typed languages, and I get kinda annoyed/paranoid when my variable COULD change type quietly so end up doing (perhaps too much) type checks etc.

    I can say with surety I hate programming in both Typescript and JavaScript, but I definitely hate Typescript less because of the typing.

    Having said that, I don't really like the compiled javascript that comes out of the typescript compiler, because it puts some distance between the user and the code and I am all for clarity, especially when people have to go out of their way to not run this code.

  • What are some food items that cost less than what they "should"?
  • Always thought garlic bread is such a steal. Often you can get 2 (small) baguettes for less than £1 and G Bread is so good. When my plans of world domination come in, free garlic bread for everyone is first on the agenda.

  • Wild mammals make up only a few percent of the world’s mammals (2022)
  • While I don’t think these numbers are particularly doctored, I have learned caution from using ourworldindata.

    I believe it is largely funded by Bill Gates and so has biases to retain the status quo, as this keeps the billionaires at the top.

    Of course there are no unbiased sources, but something to keep in mind.

  • Remote wake PC from Steam Deck?
  • I think you’re talking about Wake on LAN (WOL)?

    Not done this from my deck, but do this from Linux machines all the time. You can easily do this from a command line, in the pacman sources there is a package called “wol”. So could just make a bash script to run it for the MAC address you want to wake. And this talks about adding a bash script to game mode.

  • Finally, my name is realized.
  • Very small and niche change to an i2c driver, so that composite devices will work with this driver.

    It’s a rarely used driver, but I found an issue with my stuff using it, so thought could spare some people the pain of figuring it out again.

  • Combining two different internet debates
  • But even in the image example, how would that work? The people have no momentum, they wouldn’t flop out, just fall back through, and then stay half in half not. According to you, air resistance wouldn’t even push them out because as soon as it goes through the portal the air is not moving relative to the people. I think your blatant lack of respect for relativity is unnerving and gets super confusing very quickly.

  • Better than new!
  • Interested in this, how does it fair so far? Is it comparable or better to the original? I was hoping there would be OLED screen mods at some point. Also maybe larger screen space as there’s a fairly large band around the original. I guess you don’t have any information what drivers it uses? I see it says “no driver required” so either the same as the original or another mainline Linux driver.
