I actually heard something about that in class not long ago

The story is that Android's security heavily relies on the compartmentalization of apps that lives in the android layer, over the Linux kernel. Apparently, that functionality works in part because only this layer can perform operations that require root access, no app or user can. So software that allows you to root your phone apparently breaks this requirement, and makes the whole OS insecure. He even heavily implied that one should never root their phone with 'free' software found on the internet because that was usually a front for some nefarious shit regarding your data.

I'm just parroting a half-understood and half-remebered speech from a security expert. His credentials were impressive but I have no ability to judge that critically, if anyone knows more about this feel free to correct me.

Everybody seems to care about headphone jacks, nobody seems to care about Fairphone's former stance to focus on keeping their existing models usable long term rather than produce a new phone every year and incentivise a race to the latest model like every other brand does...

I don't understand the US thing about trying children as adults. The whole thing about children is that they're not adults, what's the point of having specific laws to protect children if you're just going to ignore them? What possible argument could there be that a 11 year old is an adult?

Well they probably know what they put in the CPUs they export to the US and Europe, so why would they?

It means your whining about some gay guys acting inappropriately towards you

1. doesn't somehow justify saying absolutely vile homophobic shit like "normal straight people get the willies when gay guys hit on them",

2. does not somehow justify homophobia in general nor its conservative apologists and therefore

3. is incredibly tone deaf in this precise context.

That's only true around landing and takeoff. For the most part their navigation relies on hybridized data from their inertial, air data and GPS, with several redundancies in place for bad readings and cumulative errors. Among all of this autonomous measurement apparatus, the GPS is the only part that doesn't require numeric integration from speed or acceleration data to yield a position reading, and thus it is the only one that doesn't drift over time. It's actually fairly important, and it's why using the gnss jammers you can find on amazon is super illegal

Hahaha if that calculation worked anywhere there would be no billionaires, no dictatorships, no people would be oppresed and the proletariat would rule every country... Hell we wouldn't even pay rent.

1 small organized group with funding and power > all the disorganized masses

How surprising! I thought that symbol most popular in "La disparition"'s original localism, but this wiki says this translation's vocabulary has a similar proportion and thus - probably - a similar difficulty.

I think he said fuck

You know we're fucked when a title like that isn't even on nottheonion. We may have entered a"not 'not the onion'" era

I didn't know they were purely atheistic. I though it was religious, but subverting the christian interpretation of the bible so that Lucifer/Satan would actually be the good guy, written about by unreliable narrators.

I even had a whole circular theory about it. Like, Lucifer being the angel that brings the light of reason, and the serpent who argue that humans should, in fact, know right from wrong... and who would have been cast out for rebelling against a malevolent god who thinks wanting to use reason to determine and enact justice rather than blindly take it on "faith" that the unfair natural law is part of an inherently good yet unscrutable "plan" is an unforgivable sin of pride worthy of eternal damnation... A malevolent creator who'd have used this 'faith' flaw in our brains to build an army of authoritarian followers, and manipulated the narrative to systematically assassinate the character of an "adversary" that is actually our best ally in any struggle for self-determination and justice against the oppressor.

I read waaaaaay too much into the name. Now I'm actually a bit disappointed.

Edit: wait am I thinking of another form of satanism?

Edit2 : nevermind, apparently I'm describing a blend of Luciferianism and the Church of Satan. Imma take whatever appeals to me, add a bit of discordianism to make the incompatible bits stick together better and I think that's gonna be my religion for a while.

Edit3: apparently it gets me even closer to the Our Lady of Endor Coven.

Wow, you guys must have a very shallow understanding of what "childhood" and "justice" mean if the culprit being less responsible for their actions make the case more ironclad.

Edit: nvm I've looked at your profile after seeing some of your unhinged comments here ; I now fully believe you are eleven yourself and under the delusion that you are, in fact, an adult.

May I submit a formulation akin to "I got what you did thusly"?

Genuinely, good for you. I don't want to switch to something more expensive, that probably wheighs more on the environment (batteries tend to do that), that I'll lose more easily, that can catch connecticity issues, that force me to turn on bluetooth... And that's okay we just have different priorities. What bugs me is only yours ever seem to be catered to nowadays, even though mine don't seem particularly rare and you can ignore jack plugs easier than I can listen to music while plugged on my external battery

I was not. My point was just that this post has a sort of linguistic playing going on that that first tldr didn't follow, but you didn't also so... I don't know why I try. I just found it fun.

What is this discussion? Did y'all not grasp what was going on with that first Bing talk? I was just trying to stop you guys and gals using that symbol willy nilly; nobody's actually apologizing for Bing

Yes and being a woman there is also terrible, it's a good thing they're only slaughtering the civilians that oppress others and not the victims of oppression too.

Ah, negging. Maybe my depression is healthier than I though, with how much I've been negging myself I must fancy myself suite a bit!

Alright I can see how culturally you end up going in that direction.

Still, though, I can't fathom someone being smart enough to go through all that education to become a state prosecutor, then seeing a terrible story about a kid have access to a gun when they clearly shouldn't and killing their own mother through sheer childish stupidity and then coming to the conclusion that "you know what would reestablish justice in this situation? Injecting poison into that kid and watching him die."

Who's that person? What happened in their life to make them think like that?

Oulipo is chock full of amazing linguistic training propositions isn't it?
