    In general the article seems to be a summary of current legislative actions that are ongoing between big tech and EU. Though in the article it’s worded with the much more fitting ‘game of chicken between EU and Big Tech’ rather than something like the title, but I guess “drop dead has a better ring to it”…

    I general the article has a lightly optimistic tone, which I very deeply hope holds true.





  • /u/Chainweasel@lemmy.world explains this well, though I got a different take on the analogy.

    Imagine you are trying to put air into a deflating balloon that’s about to ‘loose form’ that’s essentially what you are trying.

    Put just enough air (energy/mass) into the star and it will stay stable, loosing as much as you put into it.

    Too little and the star will dissolved, in this example you’d fully absorb it.

    Too much and you are essentially infusing a star with so much mass that it explodes all over again.

    If you are trying to stabilise a star this way, ideally, it would never even begin to go nova.





  • I mean… Maybe I am just oversimplifying things or misreading something, but if the cabinet the switch was on was metal then maybe the switch connected ground to ground? Suddenly changing ground to ground can crash old hardware quite reliably but booting with another ground plate could make it adjust the potentials properly… I’ve done this multiple times in a lab, in essence adding more ground causes the ground plates to equal out and that sudden drop can crash sensitive hardware…

    Please tell me i am wrong I want this magic switch to be true so bad


  • I’ve been using e os every since the fairphone 4 hit the market (and I got it quite fast). I think it’s absolutely great. A caveat which is funny to me and I like: Since the playstore service is missing, and micro G sinks every server request to Google, in app purchases via those systems are simply not a thing. Personally I love this si ce I have never needed or want to buy anything from any app; but it’s incredible to me that any ad that even tried to load, can’t
