I replaced my wifi card in my laptop, but perhaps one of the antenna cables was not secured as my signal goes to shit I think and sometimes it just doesn't even see 5ghz.
But if the antenna cables are secured/connected properly, is there a chance that it's expected that I literally replace the antenna cables too? that seems a bit much... I'd have expected them to be compatible because it's the same type of radio
Is it time for a truly ethical computing hardware company? One whose values would be
- open hardware as much as possible.
- repairable, upgradable, standardised.
- open software as much as possible.
- which exclude some hardware choices.
- full open source operating system support, and the default (no forked distro)
- code of conduct including for the choice of project sponsorships.
And many other.
Been there, done that. All the supposed ethical hardware and software is ultimately corruptible.
History; repeats.
1) when I put 0xabad1dea as my actual name in Lego's website, they rejected it as invalid (presumably because of the digits).
2) When I put 0xabad1dea as my public nickname, they rejected it because it's a "real" name.
which is it?!
One of the recent AI generated bug reports for #curl quite impressively identifies mismatches between a function header's comment mentioning that an argument is optional, but the code uses it unconditionally.
This taking comments into account certainly allows for some extra magic the classic code analyzers can't do.
We support open source software (and hardware), and partner with developers and maintainers across the ecosystem. We deliberately create a big tent, because we want open source software to win.Framework Community
The third morning marks the end of this first edition of Django On The Med 🏖️
It’s amazing how much we achieved in such a short time, with a small group of focused developers. 💪
The goal of the sprints has been fully reached. But the experience is not over yet, this afternoon’s rest and tonight’s dinner are part of the social side too. 🌅

Can't wait to be at Codemotion Milan next week to meet old and new friends, and to talk to you together with Natalia Orlandi about how we can develop UI interfaces with an eye on ethics, user needs, and simplicity.

If I had to highlight a key take-away from @ciura_victor's C++/Rust interoperability talk, that'd be that it's much easier to call Rust from C++ than C++ from Rust, which is indeed the case in my experience. Because many C++ language features have no equivalent in Rust.

I've been thinking about creators and distributors. picture a woodworker who crafts a perfectly balanced, minimalist chair. a furniture store loves it and starts selling it. but, to "match their brand", the store paints every chair bright green
customers see a green chair. they don't know the store painted it. they just assume the original artisan loves making bright green chairs. the creator's original intent and aesthetic are completely lost in translation, and their reputation is now tied to a choice made by someone else
this happens so often in FOSS. upstream developers create the "wooden chair", and downstream distros often paint it "green". there's nothing inherently wrong with that, but it creates a gap where users blame the artisan for the paint job. it makes you think about where creative ownership truly lies

Remember people no longer buying Swasticars in numbers had an impact. While the company is still here, a more fragile business like Framework probably would see the effect harder if people stop buying.
FAFO.
I can't wait to discover that Apple stance on not giving access to data (no backdoor) is actually a big lie and that they have been doing it all along.
Note: I don't even think Google, Microsoft, Facebook aren't already doing it.
If you're thinking of buying a @frameworkcomputer check this thread from their forum: community.frame.work/t/framewo…. Make sure to check their twitter stream too.
Personally the chances of me buying anything from them in the future is 0%.

spvm to buy a dystopian american mass surveillance product
some notes from the thread:
• American software collecting the movement history of all people in Montreal. Millions of hours of video will be sent to the US, and the movement history of all citizens will be potentially sold to the highest bidder.
• Software with very advanced capabilities accessible without a warrant by the police, such as chronological search (give me all the movements of this person over a year), facial recognition, alerts on individuals, and all the previously mentioned functionalities, etc.
• Complete loss of privacy for all people in Montreal, immediately. Privacy is dead the moment this system is connected and used by the SPVM.
• No strict judicial control, and data is not within our control. Valuable data going directly to the US and accessible without a warrant by the police.
• Police can access movement history without a warrant or validated by a judge ( think jealous police officer ex here )."

Michel voice variant for me. Or Michael, no idea why they both exist since they are identical, or appear to be.
That said, what about the bugs in the espeak app on ios? It works pretty decently for me here at least, the crackling issue only happens after past a certain speech rate and I've never had cause to go that far with it.
I know there is an issue on gh about updating it and the dev said it would be done, no idea where that went off to if anywhere.

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.
Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:
"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."
Since Denmark can attempt another vote in December, it is important to stay vigilant. Both Italy and Sweden remain undecided while France remains supportive despite Chat Control being in direct violation of its Résilience bill explicitly forbidding both forced backdoors and client-side scanning.
Stay engaged!

But Nirav, Why is the Social Media account gushing over omarchy? Out of all those listed projects you sponsor, the twitter account has mentioned omarchy ~22 times since just August. The other projects you mention has barely gotten any attention.Framework Community
If your "big tent" includes Nazis, then your "big tent" doesn't include the victims of Nazis. Which do you want?
I happen to own a little open source software company that is expressly anti-fascist, has a “No AI” policy, and has recently been called “aggressively queer” in case you’re interested in supporting tech companies like that:
The thoughtful, capable, and ethical replacement for Windows and macOSelementary.io
If Framework made the business decision to fund anti-LGBTQ+ and white supremacist, then we shall make the business decision to not give them a red cent.
I bought a Framework less then a year ago to replace an aging and failing Dell XPS. While not perfect, I liked the repairability. Then I had to get the battery swapped a couple of weeks ago, and they made me think twice, but ok.
Right now I regret it. But I couldn't have known.
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM Framework.

Nuremberg Trials & regrets -- failure to establish legal precedent for crimes against humanity & corporations.
IG Farben used its tissue-thin defense of "shareholder value", while armed services & public officials failed with "just following orders".
What would the world be today if we were able to charge Koch Network with crimes against humanity for ecocide ?
What would the world be today if we'd established a body of law to protect democracy from sociopathic corporations?
