Maybe because it was mistaken. I just set my grapheneos to a 35 character password to test it and it didnt seem to have any issue.

To any commenters, please link me to any great resources (documentaries/videos/books) that you feel best demonstrates the advanced intelligence and awareness of other species. I kn…

Try going in to edit mode you'll freak out if you not prepared

I was trying to upload a 300mb video via the local police's web interface, a very important matter. I had to set my phone screen to stay on for 30 minutes and then leave the web br…

I use osmand for privacy but I think it just emphasises main roads. In Melbourne it always suggests turning off cemetery road west because it doesn't know it's congested and will g…

Same issue as Monds comments. When arch pushes an update the package database becomes inconsistent until cachyos syncs it, which can take 30 minutes. Cachy packages just increment …

Separate grapheneos accounts for everything does that I believe

I've never heard of this program but I heard the voice in my head pronounce it is p-yes immediately. Apparently I've internalised GNU English to totally native level.

If LLMs weren't created by us but where something discovered in another species' behaviour it would be 100% labelled intelligence

Are you able to share evidence for this?

You can download the entirety of Wikipedia. YouTube is blocking YouTube downloaders. It's a crime against humanity that they lured people into to contribute videos to this platform…

I really hope this suceeds. I dream of a day where I can shop online and pay as conveniently as Chinese QR code based payment systems, but with full privacy. I've followed GNUnet f…

Obviously yes to the first question. How could you possibly not have the right to operating your own heart. Naturally it would generally not be a good idea.

Is it possible to get the authentication done without running their proprietary JavaScript login page?

I think this normalises running untrustworthy, abusive proprietary software, because they can at least be somewhat contained. The only reason I have apps like Facebook on my androi…

I used to have a flexible silicon keyboard I could roll up and carry but some of the keys died

Nothing. Look at the deathscape polluted smoggy skies in India as people walk around without masks coughing.

To me, I find it a bit frustrating that Arch linux routinely has "manual intervention required" problems every single year where the intervention is just a single command that pacm…

It's the same with Dying Light. They have a neglected Linux version and I downloaded 16GiB before i realised to switch to the Windows version and start again.

Emacs already does that with TRAMP via SSH -- You just open a file like /ssh:user@server:/etc/hosts the main downside is if your connection is laggy Emacs will lock up momentarily.…

Wine is the chemo to the cancer that is windows :) it's not a step forward that solves a fundamental problem, rather, a workaround for a problem we created

Laws are enforced by violence. If you disobey, and refuse to pay fines eventually someone will break your door down and drag you out in handcuffs

In practicing no because in the end it generally takes a human intelligence to fully understand the requirements of a particular program, sanity check everything, get the right dep…

Now in grapheneosin the updates settings it allows you to apply Google's upstream security patches, but grapheneos is forbidden from releasing the source code for these until a cer…

So my friend and I were trying to learn some coding together. We had our laptops on the same wifi and I wanted us to use git without depending on GitHub, but I was completely stump…
