@waltercool @dcc @purism Yes, but Samsung and LG don't make phones in US. Manufacturing in US is the main feature justifying the high price tag. The Librem 5, which is similar but not made in USA costs $800. That's still a lot, but it's not a regular Android smartphone. For me, it's too expensive for what it is, but some people are buying them.

@EUCommission Cooperation between democratic countries is always nice, but I have to ask: what does that eldritch mascot signify?

@itsfoss Having offline solutions is always nice. Based on the title, I expected it to use a neural network, but it doesn't.

@fdroidorg @TheDragon Have you considered adding notifications/badges/whatever inside F-Droid when a reproducible version of an installed app becomes available? I would reinstall if notified, but I rarely read TWIF.

@GrapheneOS What Client Hints is the Tor Browser providing? Maybe it would be good to sync with them or other privacy-oriented browsers if you decide to update the values? This way the anonymity set will be larger.

@itsfoss And sometimes packages get moved from main repos to AUR if nothing from main repos needs them. If you only needed it as a dependency for something else, ideally you would have removed it already before it gets moved to AUR.

@itsfoss Have you never ran `yay -Qtd` and removed unnecessary packages?

Electron has a version in the package name for people who need several versions side by side. This means if an app requires electron32, it gets installed as a dependency. Later, if the app switches to requiring electron33, then this version is installed as a dependency. But the version 32 stays installed until you remove it. Use `pacman -Qtd` to find dependencies no package needs anymore.

@przemelek @UODO Co do domyślnego zastrzegania nru PESEL nieletnim: o ile wiem, nieletni mogą mieć konta w banku, a blokada PESEL uniemożliwia ich zakładanie.

@noelreports "Noo, how dare you help others defend themselves against me?! This is aggression!!! >:C"

@migbox @EUCommission As I understand it, the site does not do age checking in this proposal. It just accepts a proof that a check was done by some third party.

@noelreports Reportedly, Rheinmetall bought the remaining 25 ex-Italian Leopard 1 tanks (out of 96 total) from the Swiss private company that owned them.

@eobet @itsfoss I work with those and very much would like to see them replaced. I do not find the idea of a bugtracker and a wiki to be inherently evil.

@csepp @EUCommission AFAIK the main problems are cost, materials, longevity, and efficiency. Today the main problem with graphene is its high cost. Developing ways to produce it cheaper would bring down the cost of energy storage (directly through cheaper graphene-using batteries, but also through those batteries having better properties).

As to energy usage patterns, you can adjust them somewhat, but in the end you'll still need grid storage.

@csepp @EUCommission Batteries are needed because sun doesn't shine at night and our energy usage patterns don't align with sun intensity during the day. Here's a simple explanation: youtube.com/watch?v=z-k5uS7ALX

It's not a "magic solution". Grid storage is necessary if we want to completely remove fossil fuels, unless you want to build thousands of nuclear power plants worldwide.

@csepp @EUCommission What? We *very much do* need better and cheaper batteries because renewable energy is intermittent.
