Pretty true #criticism of #linux #online #help https://matklad.github.io/2022/10/19/why.. It never really helps when #debugging the #problem , it only offers potential #solutions that you randomly #apply .
Interesting #criticism of #remarkable 2 and why this person returned it: https://offbyone.us/posts/remarkable/ A great point about the #eink #device *not* being an #ereader ...
Insane that the #us #fbi did nothing whilst they had the ability to help people: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-.. This is also my #criticism of the #uk 's MI5 and #gchq - rather than help local companies they instead try to #backdoor them and #subvert them to be *less* #secure , whilst also wanting open #borders - making the #terrorist #threat even fucking worse.
#apple 's #internalmemo appears to suggest they intended to just #ignore #criticism of their new #scanning feature: https://9to5mac.com/2021/08/06/apple-int.. I guess people now know they need to just leave their #ecosystem and Apple don't *actually* care about #privacy and #security ...
Wow, an #athlete from #belarus competing in #japan 's #tokyo #olympics has been granted #asylum in #poland after a *minor* #criticism of the #belarussian #government https://www.lotuseaters.com/belarussian-.. Just a little reminder that things over here in the #west are not so bad in the grand scheme of things... We have quite minor issues in comparison.
Apparently #purism #librem 5 is somewhat #censoring #criticism https://old.reddit.com/r/Librem5/comment.. They are having #manufacturing issues based on the #chip #shortage ... Problem is, even #pine with the #pinephone have been able to ship at a slightly increased price. So why is a #phone that was sold for $2k having more issues sourcing parts than a phone selling for $200? Something is slightly off here...
This is #brutal - but #self #criticism is exactly needed in #academia https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-0.. One comment in particular is particularly awful: "I'm in the middle of a PhD. It's kind of sad to say this but if I rediscover my inner final-year undergrad I'm pretty sure I'd have trouble graduating": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=278.. Ouch. I wonder whether my work so far lives up to the expectations I have of others. Worth reflection.
