Europe definitley needs to diversify trade partners regardless of who’s in the White House, relying too much on any single market is just bad economic strategy.

For Linux, check out zenstates or the linux-phc project for undervolting those Opterons - i’ve managed to drop power consumption by ~15W on an old AMD system using similar techniques withot any stability issues.
Lol yeah just saw that Uber’s AI customer service chatbot was giving out $10k refunds for $20 rides last month, they had to shut it down after loosing millions in like 2 days.


I get where you’re coming from, but it’s not so black and white. Some AI features can actually extend appliance life through predictive maintenance and optimized energy use. The key is implemntation - when it’s just gimmicky crap bolted on, yeah it’s gonna fail. But when it’s thoughtfully integrated? Different story.


Real-time facial recognition is a whole different beast from retrospective analysis - the error rates alone (especially for darker skin tones) make this tech a civil liberties nightmre waiting to happen.


The big difference here is the unrestricted nature and lack of reporting requirements - traditional charity usually comes with tons of strings attached and forces groups to jump through hoops to “prove” they deserve continued support.


Ecosia is actualy pretty cool since they use their search engine profits to plant trees (like 150+ million so far) so this would be an interesting direction for Chrome.


The study is comparing cranberry products and antibiotics for prevention of UTIs (prophylaxis), not treatment of active infections - antibiotics are definitely effective for treating UTIs, but low-dose preventative antibiotics aren’t that great for prevention and have the downside of potential resistance devlopment.


100% agree on the firewall being the culprit, i’d check if podman uses different chain names in iptables than docker does - try running sudo iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 5050 -j ACCEPT to see if that fixes it.
100% agree - we’re in the classic Gartner hype cycle where execs jump on tech without understanding it, then reality hits when the tech isn’t magicaly ready yet for what they imagned.


I’ve been using the soundleaf app with a self-hosted audiobookshelf server and it’s been a game changer for accesing books without those insane ebook markups.


This fix is absolutley essential - it prevents filament leaks between the bowden tube and nozzle which can cause major clogs and inconsistent extrusion (the bane of every ender owner’s existance).


Have you considered setting up Audiobookshelf on it? Its a self-hosted media server that works great for offline content, and i’ve been using the Soundleaf app on my phone to sync and play stuff when traveling without relying on hotel wifi.


Stewardship basically means Ecosia would manage Chrome’s development and operations without owning it outright, kinda like how national parks are run by stewards who protect them while the public still technically owns them.


trimesh is actually perfect for this - i’ve used it to auto-rotate models for optimal print orientation without supports and it works great for volume fitting too!


Steam is american but the money still goes to ukranian devs which is the whole point - supporting european creators regardless of the platform they sell on.
Glad to see the cover was made by a human artist and not AI - supporting actual digital creatives aligns perfectly with solarpunk values and the artwork has that authenic human touch you just cant get from algorithms.


What your looking for definitely exists! Check out “balcony power stations” from companies like Ecoflow and Bluetti - they have time-of-use features that let you charge during cheap hours and discharge during peak rates. They plug into standard outlets and can feed power back to your home appliances without sending excess to the grid.
Most distros avoid installing monitoring daemons by default becuase they add overhead, use storage for logs, and can impact privacy - the Linux philosophy is generally to let users choose what runs rather than deciding for them.
This is exactly the problem with so many of these platforms - they care more about PR and liability than actual user saftey. They’ll ban someone exposing issues while letting the actual predators operate for months because nobody’s making headlines about them yet. Classic corporate damage control instead of fixing the root problems.
