Fun fact! Geo positioning is one off the few things where we need to apply both general and special relativity for real world effects: the effects due to the satellites speed and high distance to earth (and therefore the reduced effect of gravity) cause a significant shift in the speed in which clocks run on those satellites compare to Earth. As we use the exact time to calculate distance and with that position this would cause a huge drift otherwise!
Ok that is really cool!
Why are there no closed source communities on open source reddit?
Can second this. After becoming the tech person of my household most issues are now “my fault” I dont really mind in my situation but if it was the entire workplace, not good.
pretty much yeah.
Hmm maybe not whatsapp or telegram though. One of them is spyware and the other one is spyware and supports one of the (if not the) most evil tech companies in the world.
Why not? If the service is fully decentralized and e2e enceyptwe with metadata included how is this not fully private?
I suppose someone with access to the network could see were the traffic is going to and from, in that case add a trusted vpn + tor. Ok sure it is possible for tor to be tracked and it is possible for a team to hijack your vpn providers servers forecefully and take logs. So technically possible. But even then they will only find who you are talking to, not what you are saying.
But it is also much easier to use countless tracking techiques to locate you, find were you are going and find who you are talking to.
Both of these are very unlikely to happen unless you are being personally targeted by govenment agencies.
at 26:10 it says redhat ships rhel and fedora. I’m 99% sure this is just wrong. Redhat doesn’t maintain fedora, fedora is just a fork of rhel maintained by the community.
I don’t really take issue with dozens of posts by newbies asking the same basic question over and over. I used to be one and am occasionally back there again if I start a new hobby. Hopefully newcomers don’t get pushed off by overly sensitive moderation.
I’m not sure if I agree with this, unless you need clarification on something specific the forum like nature and search should allow you to find answers to previous questions without asking it again.
But I do agree overmoderation is bad. I swear if communities start implementing a karma system…
I do prefere airplane mode allowing wifi for obvious reasons. I have a samsung and it really does suck how far baked in the spyware is. Is it possible/are there any guides that show me how to make samsung or any other phone not be able to use its spyware?
Is the only way to fix this using a custom rom or postmarketos?
