I help maintain Etherpad and this cuts so deep.

The main counter-argument I have is restrictive installation policies especially in Edu/bluechip IE you can do whatever the fuck you want in the sandbox that is your web browser but if you want to install some software you have to wait 4 weeks for approval then another 4 weeks to get approval for each update.

Also security updates/patches for native applications can be really shitty especially on Microsoft inflicted devices.. For example, if you want to update Inkscape on Windows you have to do a whole download/install process. This can lead to security related issues..

Google ran a huge push to get these into schools too.. There was a LOT of pressure on Schools to adopt from various partners (or at least that happened in the UK)...

Google is aware of the Microsoft gains from getting people used to their products at a young age...

Security related issues should go through responsible disclosure and it's up to the maintainer to provide such a process or the recently flurry of "opportunistic whitehats" will continue to spam your issues and require triaging..

Github provides a process for this under the "Security" tab: https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/security as an example..

I find that by having a documented process it filters out a decent amount of time wasters.

  2. Good mattress & office chair.
  3. Home Automation devices (mower/vacuum/lights etc).

Agreed, but specifically an aftermarket electric seat bidet to save in a load of plumbing.

Isn't heated tho :P

RE "next-gen" "every day" "everywhere car" I can't comment because they don't really make a quantifiable point.

RE Charging: In the UK we had charge at home infrasatructure w/ .gov compensation and charging points at businesses/supermarkets/petrol stations way before a specific branded Supercharger infrastructure started arriving.

RE "whole automation": What do you mean? What point of Tesla is more automated than an Audi or BMW for a UK daily commute? Autopilot simply doesn't work for the vast majority of UK commutes and has been shown to be a poorly operating application with a potential incoming ban.

I think it's important not to rewrite history to fit a narrative.

I agree w/ the "best" argument but I don't agree with the "first to market" argument.... There were a notable amount of electric cars in the UK before Tesla became a thing. Perhaps things in .de are different..

I did notice in Berlin just a few weeks ago that you guys don't really seem to be pushing for clean air zones in major cities unlike a lot of the UK which given your progressive population came as a surprise to me.

Best part of Gondwana

They have a toilet behind a curtain. Imagine trying to hold poop for 3+ days.. Imagine being the first one that poops and the odour.... My eyes are stinging thinking about it...

The old 'let perfection be the enemy of good' argument..

Surely this is a step in the right direction?

linux is not limited to 720p...

Can we not make Lemmy all about divisive American politics please? :)
