Haven’t tested it against meta glasses. Essentially it requires the MAC address of the device and pings the shit out of it. May or may not work against the glasses.

Requires Linux. But a raspberry pi should do the trick.

I was fortunate. I was offered a research position from an EU country so it comes with a work visa.

I am one of the US scientists who is moving to the EU due to the US’s anti science policies. I, of course, cannot speak for all US scientists, but China is an unlikely draw for most of the scientists I know. While the US is descending into fascism, China is already there. I’m not sure how many people I know are eager to live in that type of system in exchange for funding. I know a few who are heading to the EU and Canada. Those who are in dire straights due to funding issues are switching to industry positions or changing fields altogether. People from China or Hong Kong who are in research positions in the US, I would expect are more likely to go to China though.

I agree it won’t happen. But it is a simple solution.

The majority of problems in the US could be fixed with one simple solution: eliminate lobbying completely. I know some small causes would suffer, but it would overwhelmingly be a good thing. The vast majority of people in congress right now are there because money is involved. They are not there to help or represent their district or state or country. They are there to get rich and it works. If there was no money in politics, more of the people trying to get elected would actually represent the people. It wouldn’t solve everything, but it would be a heck of a start.

Holy. The comments on the article are a dumpster fire. No surprise since it’s Breitbart but still a mess.

Yea, most developed nations are struggling with birth rate. Certainly Finland is one of them.

I was replying to your comment that Finland doesn’t tax their wealthiest. They do tax their wealthy via income. Finland ranks as one of the best countries when considering income inequality.

One consequence of multi-party systems is you’ll find out that every country has a minority of racists. Some nations are higher (~40% approval of trump in the United States is an example). Germany’s AFD party currently has 20%.

I think you might be thinking of Japan. While Finland does have a low birth rate, it is similar to a few other European countries. Japan and China both have lower birth rates.

Finland has a progressive tax. If anything, they do a better job taxing the wealthy than the vast majority of other western countries.

I’ve spent a significant amount of time in Finland, and while there is some xenophobia and racism (like everywhere else) it isn’t “extreme”. There are many countries far worse than Finland.

‘Kevin Kellenbarger, 69, a three-time Trump voter who retired from a printing company, said his Christian faith led him to the Republican Party. The Lancaster, Ohio, resident thinks the president’s immigration crackdown is necessary, though he expressed dissatisfaction at the recent killing of Renee Good by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis.’

“I don’t like anybody getting killed, but it wasn’t Trump’s fault,” Kellenbarger said, adding that President Joe Biden, a Democrat, "let millions of people in. They have to be taken out.”

A lot to unpack in that ‘christian’s’ statement.

Did you buy those pants or make them? Where would one buy pants with fire-breathing unicorns on them?

“Another 37 percent said they believed he has got the balance broadly right, and a further 7 percent said, perhaps surprisingly, that he has not gone far enough.”

This percentage will never change no matter what he does. If in a year, Trump is raping Trump voters’ families, this poll will be exactly the same. This is also why you’ll never see Trump’s approval rating drop below ~38%.

Yea, as the other person mentioned, to my knowledge (which is limited) the video decoding in the browser on Linux tends to be browser and hardware specific. I know it’s gotten easier over the past couple years tho.

It will choose for you, but you can select specific drivers if you’d like. I’ve only had to mess with installing specific drivers on edge cases.

PopOS in my opinion. It (mostly) solves the issue of getting the drivers needed to run GPUs.

I received these socks when I wrecked my ankle in the emergency room so they could fit over my air cast. Or… did I just think I was in the emergency room…. I may have some thinking to do.

Great news and deserved celebration! However, we can’t get complacent as a reworded version will be back in six months.

It’s not a vaccine problem, it’s an education problem. A large portion of Americans are exceptionally gullible to propaganda and Republicans have weaponized it very well. The anti-vax narrative is not present in large portions of the population in other developed nations. We need to look within, not at the solution to disease.

Edit: Unfortunately others are informing me that this is a problem in other countries as well, which is sad. My partners family is from a country in Europe that doesn’t appear to have this issue at scale so I foolishly extrapolated.

I’ve had at least a dozen dreams of trying to text someone during an emergency and I’m unable to do so. I keep fat fingering the buttons and it won’t send.

“The backdoor targeted SSH servers by hooking into OpenSSH’s cryptographic functions through the liblzma.so library.”

Not exactly academic in this case.
