Oh don't be a knobcheese.

Not everyone who disagrees with you is a shill.

Ah yes a Trump can, just the place to get the facts from!

They were not in any kind of secure environment, and while the president can choose when President to declassify documents nicking a bunch of them is not in fact declassifying them.

His staff randomly walked in on the documents. The bathroom is the funny one, but he also kept them in a ballroom.

Your claim about security is just invented.

So... I'm right, but they're aren't enough of us so I don't count.

I did read an article a while ago about a problem Redhat ran into. They've been pretty gung ho on Wayland and all that. Anyway turns out Wayland has no window placement protocol. If one complains about it, you hear gales of defences about how it's legacy or out of scope or not Wayland's fault and really X sucks and anyway Wayland isn't trying for feature parity and also security or something.

You know the usual excuses for why something doesn't work on Wayland desktops.

Anyway they started getting complaints from their actual paying customers after the Wayland switch. Those people are of course niche users and are paying very good money for shit not to break. Turns out niche users with heaps of cash which let us not forget are all of Redhat's customers, are not really interested in excuses in how they are unimportant because they are niche users.

If they had been a bit more interested in listening to users and bit less in arguing about desktop purity and defending the indefensible, then they wouldn't be in that pickle right now.

Anyhow you're like the people who used to find it inexplicable that the massively bloated Microsoft word was so popular because almost no one uses more than 5% of the features. What people rarely grasped is that everyone used a slightly different 5%.

Oh yeah Hillary. That's the person who stole a bunch of box files of classified information, hid them in a toilet, tried to cover it up and obstructed the investigation. Lock her up!! #MAGA

You say it's clear, but there seem to be all sorts of excuses and get outs that have applied historically.

You know things like defining people as not people so the constitution didn't apply, or whatever fucked excuses they used to justify torture and indefinite detention at gitmo, and so on.

The prosecution might be arguing against the first amendment, but you know that's their job to show he's guilty of a crime. Whether he is allowed to argue that he's not guilty because of the first is up to the judge to decide, and then the jury to decide if it fits.

It is not up to the prosecution that he cannot make the argument because is it was up to them he'd already be convicted.

That is why acting on it should require a damn warrant, if the face recognition is the ONLY 'open source' against someone, the judge or magistrate should probably say 'nope nope, not good enough you can't search a guys house based on some geometry between his eyelids and ears taken from a grainy CCTV image. Go find something more'

Judges should be elected and they should have stand for elections often and the public should consider carefully if the guy they are putting on the bench is to willing to accept things like face recognition system outputs uncritically, and you know remove them if they do. If the systems are inaccurate there should be in pretty short order a group of people ready to tell their story about how Judge Dumb F. Arsehole, let the cops ransack his home because he happened to vaguely look a little like someone else, how it could happen to them too if they don't vote for someone a little less careless.

I am not even going to complain about law enforcement etc. This is just human nature. If there is a tool out there, people will use it. If its a powerful tool people will abuse it. When the incentives are strong enough and they think nobody is looking most folks will cheat.

Taken all these realities it should be clear that secret courts, domestic warrant-ess surveillance, etc is just antithetical to big R republicanism. It has got to go and poltico-s in the way of that no matter what letter is after there name need to primaried and kicked out their parities. Both (D) and (R).

Now personally I don't have a problem with face recognition used in public spaces, because you have no expectation of privacy there. However I do have a problem with members of state apparatus not following the rules. If there rule the public enacted is no-face recognition then agents/officers etc who break the rule need to be CANNED! Finding 'clever' ways to avoid the intent of policy should be treated as the act of insubordination that it is and result in being CANNED as well. There is a BIG difference between "I broke this obscure rule I wasn't aware of" or "I really thought this was allowable because it does not fall under ... and ... or ..." and what these guys did which was knowingly and willfully doing an end run around the rules.

This is real problem in modern American values; the reason our systems and laws don't work as intended largely comes down to people treat 'gaming the system' as a virtue rather than a vice. Geeks are usually the worst offenders too - hmm I'll try to get around rebroadcasting rules by renting a building somewhere and making it a porcupine of aerials and say I am just format shifting" or some some such nonsense, rather than just dealing with the fact the laws are stupid and lobbying to change them. Same thing with the entire darn tax code. While I don't think all tax 'avoidance' is done in bad faith, ie we are going to intentionally build corporate HQ out in the county because $CITY taxes are to high, is fine, but when it we are going to rent an store front in the county for our incorporation address and staff it with a single mail clerk while we have a 200 employees in $CITY office tower, that is the sort of cheating I am talking about.

Does that work in gnome/mutter?

7. There's a portal for that but OBS has not implemented it, so perhaps go tell them to do it.

sure bruh

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME...

GNOME started work on supporting global hotkeys 3 months ago, and Wayland world only got initial support two years ago

https://github.com/flatpak/xdg...

This is the think, it took 13 years for Wayland based desktops to get a sniff of an incredibly common feature in the last 40 years, then the instant they do it's immediately everyone else's fault (you're blaming OBS, there I see, never mind GNOME) that it's not instantly being finished.

This is why the Wayand transition will continue to be miserable for probably another decade. Everything people need (bourne out by decades of desktop OS experience) is out of scope or someone else's fault, or not there by design. Eventually, the features arrive, but every one of them has to be fought for painfully. And the weird thing is Wayland proponents defend the state of it.

I think in a decade it will probably have covered all of those bits and then it will be fine. But the huge mush of wayland + all necessary support libraries won't be simpler than X. It won't be substantially faster. It will have some features that X doesn't (20 years of stalled development will do that), but nothing anything like architecturally impossible in X.

It'll be fine eventually, but somewhat faster if the Wayland fanbois stop telling people they either don't need it, shouldn't want it, or that it works perfectly when it doesn't or in any case is someone else's fault.

Wayland still has issues but it's a whole hell of a lot better than X11, if you have modern hardware.

Is it?

Works fine for me.

The Wayland devs re-invented the X square wheel and optimized so it is now a triangular wheel with one less bump and they insist that it is progress.

This is probably the best description I've heard.

Mass transit is great when it's done well.

Unfortunately, the UK too decided trams were old and unfashionable and that the car was the future. London public transport isn't bad, but it would be better still if they hadn't prioritised cars so heavily. Now the roads are clogged with cars.

Do you you though?

Most people don't need to charge anything like daily, given average distances and range.

It's common throughout the parts of this county that aren't way out in bumfuck, or IOW, the parts which have any significant number of people in them.

Small plots with a lack of street lighting? I don't think that's especially common over all. Maybe in a restricted area, but it's not common.

But that's where the available capacity is supposed to be coming from.

It is not. Street lights are a few hundred watts. The difference from a few hundred watts of SON bulb to, say, half the amount of LED bulb isn't enough to charge a car in a week. The wires are generally hugely overspecced because they're a standard gauge not tiny wires for drawing only an amp.

How may houses per lamp post do you reckon it is?

And there isn't the money to do what we could do without that. The state is running a deficit right now, so there's no state funding available.

I guess eventually your township might have to figure out how to pay, since it's going to suck otherwise. But it will be few decades.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

there you go.

Well, I did say almost every, not every :)

You live in a town small enough to barely have street lighting but also with small lots. This is pretty unusual, I reckon. No one's going to force you to relinquish the ICE car you own, but this change is coming.

The streetlights in this town have not been converted to LED, so there's no free capacity for chargers yet.

Sodium vapour lamps are pretty efficient. Not as good as modern LEDs with good drivers but there's likely less difference than you expect.

Even if there were, it would only serve a small percentage of the people on my street.

What percentage? Given the average daily drive and average range, people don't need to charge daily on average.

When the time comes, the township will need to figure out how to make it work.

Right off the bat, it's the only commercially produced chemistry that readily goes on fire! That's just a terrible direction to go in.

It goes on fire much much less readily than gasoline. The reason you don't hear about cars catching fire all the time is because they catch fire all the time, and something that happens continuously every day at the rate of about 600 per day just isn't news.

So you don't hear about it.
