You can stuff all the info into an object and use it this way, no problem. I just wanted to point out that this doesn’t have zero performance impact compared to what you currently have.

So (depending on how your OS caches files) you might not want to do this like twice in a lambda that you pass to an iterator over a huge slice or something.

I think pickle is what you want.

Keep in mind that this might have a huge performance impact if you do it all the time - it’s still IO even when it’s not parsing.

I mean, it’s on Phoronix to take this kinda out of context, but on Linus how he phrases things. You would think after years at the forefront of one of the most important FOSS projects, he’d know better.

So to add some missing context: We are talking 11 maintainers, it’s not like hundreds have been removed. Im addition, it seems like most of them are employed by russian companies, not private individuals. Their code on the other hand has not been removed.

What bothers me is that it’s unclear whether future pull-requests would be rejected as well, or whether this is a matter of association.

IMO it would have been nice if Linus focused on some details regarding this action in his response, or alternatively not responding at all. Even if all he can say is that currently he can’t comment on it, it’s definitely better than borderline xenophobic rambling and getting mad at supposed trolls, feeding trolls if anything.

“You see, he meant it as in: “A mexican that fucks”, which is a totally normal thing to say.”

Israel does want the land, but they can’t “just take it”. The humanitarian crisis and the many civilian casualties they have caused, or are at the very least willing to accept, are seriously damaging their relations with the rest of the world. They have to make this go away, one way or another, otherwise they will be isolated at some point, and they really can’t afford to reach it.

If they were to occupy Gaza and expell all Palestinians now, you’d have hundreds of thousands of refugees. No one wants to take in that many people, so it would cause significant tension with everyone around them and play into the hands of their enemies. If they don’t drive them off but suppress them (or worse…), the problem continues, so that’s not really a good option either. Giving up on some land, that isn’t theirs to begin with, is a small price to pay to (maybe) make their problem go away. At the same time, they will likely even keep a bunch of land they already occupy.

As for Saudi Arabia: They want influence. And this would give them a whole lot of it, even if they only kinda solve this conflict.

I mean, no surprise there. All-out war with Russia is probably on few people’s bucket lists…

Isn’t that mostly a problem in the big, international ports / port cities? I mean, you can have empty prisons everywhere and still mot enough police and customs there

Justice he dicides on and can get away with.

There are some FOSS SMS clients tho. I used to use Simple SMS, but there were no updates for 12 months.

Maybe try Deku SMS: https://github.com/deku-messaging/Deku-SMS-Android

It seems to have at least some traction for what it’s worth.

That’s bad and all, but it’s only because the dems manipulated everything and everyone /s

I’m gonna go with no, because of containerization and permission management. On your computer, any program can do pretty much anything, unless you explicitly take measures against this. On a smartphone, you get a lot of control over your apps. In newer Android versions you can even completely disable cameras and microphones (even if only in software).

I would use a throwaway account and avoid giving Google any personal data tho. Of course they could still figure stuff out, but it’s harder and unreliable, not to mention super-duper illegal (at least in the EU), so I kinda doubt they go the extra mile.

I will make my own Brazil, with hate speech and rockets 😢

Didn’t they perform 3 test flights this year alone? (Under Biden?)

There is hard evidence these checks prevent crime (i.e. smuggling and human trafficking), as well as evasion of judicial measures. So, since these checks will not just go away in the foreseeable future, he needs to provide a better alternative.

Edit: I don’t really get Denmark and Benelux tho. I doubt there is that much going on via these borders, but maybe I’m mistaken? I can see smuggling over their ports could be a problem, but that could be resolved by tightening security there instead of at the borders.

Casual reminder that Politico is owned by Spring SE, which makes it inherently unreliable since it’s held and led by (very) few ultra rich people.

We have not failed to prevent climate change. We have failed to prevent some climate change. How much more we get depends directly on what we do about it now. And now the best you can do is keeping that in mind when going to vote and spending money.

As much as I would like to hate it, the numbers prove them right. Not only do they catch human trafficers, but also loads of convicts trying to cross the borders as well as smugglers. Germany lies very central in Europe. Turns out a lot is going through here.

Hardly helps with the real problems like proper integration, fighting the causes of emigration or extremists of all kinds operating in Germany, but it’s better than nothing.

Ya know, Signal has been audited multiple times. It’s OSS. IT sec elite has looked at it and says it’s sound. If anything is plausible, it would be your device spying on you rather than Signal.

What’s weird tho is how people think this has anything do with messaging or data privacy. This is about Telegram being used as a public platform. They can’t force Durov to decrypt anything, nor do they need to, because they already know your groups…

Bro is charged with a crime that will end his career and can yield him up to 30 years and is lawyer is like: “Why would he be running away?”, lmao

Yeah, I posted this because the headline got me confused.

I knew 5 out of 6 of their neighbours, but I didn’t know about Burkina Faso, not even under their old name. I’m afraid to find out how many more African countries I’m missing.
