❗️ Bloomberg reports US senators reached a bipartisan agreement on a new sanctions bill targeting Russia and Iran. The proposal would allow President Trump to impose tariffs on the five largest buyers of Russian oil and gas and the five countries most involved in helping Moscow evade energy sanctions. #US

Wired up to ModemManager. The audio needs some extra plumbing (right now I need to run a separate CLI tool to enable it), but call control for both outgoing and incoming calls works. Accepting calls, hanging up. Switches from 4G to 2G automatically and back. No VoLTE (yet) #mobilelinux #pixel9a

I’m deeply fond of the Japanese idea of “kintsugi”, that repair and repurpose are an important part of an item’s story, and not a thing to be hidden.

Is anyone building ebikes with regenerative rear and disc front braking?

I just realized that I've been using adblock so consistently, for so long, that I have basically no idea what the average person's experience of the internet is like.

Every now and then I use someone else's device that isn't so locked down. And I'm floored by how useless and annoying the internet is. IDK how people do this.

I want to believe.

EFF helped expose Texas' use of automated license plate readers to track down a woman suspected of self-managing an abortion.

you're a fucking online shop. Your job is to let me order a product. I am planning to give you money. Your job is NOT to check whether I'm using a VPN or not

Ausgerechnet jene, deren „Interessenkonflikte" durch die Informationsfreiheit ans Licht kamen, wollen sie nun abschaffen. Man könnte fast von einem Interessenkonflikt sprechen.

Stoke technician welds internal tank stiffening, reinforcing the area around the Stage 1 fuel tank's human-access door.

We use handheld laser fillet welding due to the high deposition rate, which also has the structural advantage of inputting less heat to prevent warping and preserve strength.

@protonprivacy protonmail-bridge is broken on the server side for 2 weeks now, also confirmed by a friend.

I don’t like having to resort to take this public, but as a paying customer and since this is a feature exclusive to paid plans, unacceptable is an understatement…

EU needs to take a stand on Play Integrity. If app devs enforce Play Integrity, this means only Google Certified devices can use banking, etc. This excludes all alternative mobile OS. No #postmarketOS, no #SailfishOS, no Android derivatives #GrapheneOS etc. You don't need Play Integrity. If someone is capable to install or use alternative OS, they sure know what to install or not install, it is on their responsibility. Using non-root but bootloader unlocked device (otherwise can't use alternative OS) does not make my device less secure. On the contrary, it is using an up to date OS with the latest security patches. Do we really want all mobile devices have to be Google Certified? No. #mobile #integrity #bootloader #unlocked #nonsense #Europe
