Yeah, precisely — it's not like politicians deserve being cut some slack, especially considering that they or their successors seem to keep doing the same things.
Both with Russia and with renewable energy, acting indecisively and going for more obvious short term solutions does not help avoid the big problem in the future, but seems to make consequences more catastrophic and harder to deal with at a later stage. Sadly, political will is something I still do not see 😩

Putting Mini Cooper market share in grave danger by changing just one letter?

@unspeaker
I see what you're doing there — you're covertly inviting unsolicited advice with a post criticising giving unsolicited advice 😏

(I hope this joke isn't too much, but if it is — sorry 😅)

@alex_mastodon
Of course, being Russian pinning it on him alone would be just dishonest — we have failed spectacularly with Pooteen. But it's a fact: at the time neither US, nor European politicians minded Pooteen much. However neither self-reproachment, nor pointing fingers helps understand the problem and fix things — that is what we should really be doing 😩

That is interesting — and I'm certain that there are lots of things about German politics that I just don't understand not being German. To the outsider growing economic ties with a country with vast resources, but taking a clear undemocratic turn domestically and doing questionable (to put it mild) things internationally, doesn't look reasonable.

Maybe a viable choice — because girls don't usually daily drive PMOS and using Android is just weird, so iOS is indeed what they use and you can always borrow an
old device 🤷

@captainepoch @Mitsu @newt
Don't worry, it's just a non-sequitur joke. Then I was discussing iOS development without owning a Mac with someone one Fedi, that's exactly what I said — you can code and build in a VM, but you probably won't get away with testing in an emulator, and he told me he could use his sister's old iPhone 😂

@guysoft @captainepoch @newt
Emulating an ARM system would certainly not be viable, but why bother — I think they still release binaries of Xcode and friends for Intel Macs.
Not without some hacks, but booting Mac OS X (or whatever they call it now) for Intel inside a VM should not be an issue.
At some point they will stop though and start only releasing binaries of dev tools for ARM, then it would be a problem.

Старость не радость, кхе-кхе! Где там мои таблетки? надо ещё песок, который из меня сыпется собрать в совочек 👴
Поздравляю!

@newt @captainepoch
People who don't buy a Mac end up buying an old ThinkPad and installing Gentoo on it, which is arguably even worse 😖

@Mitsu @captainepoch @newt
By using their sister's old iPhone of course 🤭

AFAIK there used to be an option to host your own Signal server and talk to others from it, but there no longer is.
Your options are XMPP and Matrix — the former is cheaper on the resources and by extension cheaper hosting, the later is more modern, has more streamlined onboarding — which your loved ones would probably appreciate, but your hosting bill might go high with time.

Secure Messaging for Dummies

1. Get a server; a raspberry pi, an old desktop, a 48 UI behemoth, whatever.

2. Determine which secure messaging protocol you want to host.

3. Install and configure the server software on your server.

4. Create a user guide and help educate your loved ones on the necessary tools and on opsec.

5. Get a VPS.

6. Set up a Wireguard endpoint on your VPS's public IP.

7. Connect your server to the wireguard network.

8. Connect your loved ones to the wireguard network.

Why do I see none of the cool "girls who like to be choked during sex" threads from this instance? Does Mastodon not pass the age restriction, not high enough to ride? 🤭

An #introduction post is probably appropriate. So: Hello from #norway !

I'm here hoping to find interesting #DIY #electronics and other nerdy projects, in addition to sharing my own stuff.

I've been fiddling with #esp32 microcontroller/WiFi modules for a while, and will probably post my share of esp32 related projects.

My primary programming languages are #php #cpp #javascript

I do #pcb design with #Kicad, simple 2D design with #qcad and 3D work in #freecad.

I write about some of my projects on my personal blog, espenandersen.no

My GitHub repository is found at github.com/espena

My cats have an additional feature of being visually barely distinguishable, to the point they sometimes merge, there is one particularly funny photo of a "Chernobyl two-headed cat" — I might post it on Fedi when I come across it next time 😸
