iOS has a design change, but otherwise there is nothing interesting. Smartphones have been around for a quarter of a century, both smartphone hardware and software are extremely mature.
And that's a good thing, perhaps except for tinkering purposes. I have to rely on my phone for several things throughout the day, sometimes more than I'd like to, so the last thing I need is bugs introduced just for the sake of changing things.
The one thing I’m continually annoyed about though is battery management.
Why, in this day and age, do we not have a smartphone that can last on a single charge for a week? Instead, after a year or two of use, the devices with a glued in battery can barely last 8 hours on a charge.

Protecting against rogue devices in openSUSE with Full Disk Encryption openSUSE have now multiple ways to configure a Full Disk Encryption (FDE) installation...
Is it possible to configure the kernel to allow access to decrypted contend only through the user session?
Theoretically, kernel keys can be set to be readable only by the user session, and in an uncompromised root is not able to read those keys. I can imagine a filesystem encryption design that uses a user session key to en/decrypt data on the fly using a user session key, such that not even root or a process in another user session could read the mounted filesystem.
Does such a system exist? As I understand, this is not the way dm-crypt or LUKS work. FDE and TPM are still vulnerable to hacking while everything is running, unlocked, and mounted.
Ok, I went and read some more about it, and you can manage keys with the kernel user session keyring. So it's possible.
It brought me back around to why systemd is so shitty.
Session Keyring (Rejected)
This strategy involves placing all keys for fscrypt in KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING. Using the current session keyring means that fscrypt will not need elevated privileges to place keys in this keyring, eliminating the need for a setuid binary. It also means that if something like pam_keyinit is used, the keys will be inherited across things like sudo.
However, this strategy has a few significant downsides that led to it not being used. The first issue is that keys unlocked in one session for a user are (sometimes) not accessible to the user in other sessions. This can create confusion for users unable to access certain directories. However, the bigger problem is that systemd is incompatible with use of the system keyring. The systemd maintainers are of the reasonable position that the session keyring just shouldn’t be used.
Emphasis mine. Because the user session keyring is incompatible with systemd, the Poetterites say it shouldn't be used.
The only way to handle keys securely Ok base Linux shouldn't be used because it's incompatible with systemd. What a way to see the world: so convinced in the superiority of your monolithic monster system that you argue against an immediately available way of improving security.
It's incompatible, by the way, because systemd doesn't run user jobs in the user's session, but in parallel sessions. This means that, if you use systemd, you can't use the most secure way of handling secrets with fscrypt, the kernel user session keyring.

TPM unlocking FDE is complicated for me. I fully understand measured boot and support it, but it seems less secure to me than manually unlocking the disk.
Once the disk is unlocked and you’re put onto the display manager, I feel like there are many more vulnerabilities that could be exploited to gain access to your data.
With manually entering the disk password, the data is locked. You either need to brute force it or use the XKCD wrench method.
So I feel TPM+Pin is the best for security. Unfortunately Aeon, which is based on OpenSUSE and implements TPM, doesn’t support TPM+Pin. I think it’s mainly due to how poor and widespread TPM support is. It could lock you out entirely.
As I understand it the TPM is for people who have physical access. It prevents them from cloning your disk.
I think with an adequately long password (or an adequately resource-intensive encryption algorithm) you can secure your disk enough to prevent unauthorized access. But the TPM would prevent them from removing your hard-drive and shunting it into a super-computer (so all password attempts wouldn't need to be on the crummy 10-year old laptop CPU) so a TPM + password is more secure.
I've read the arguments and trust the people who know far more than I do about this, but... I just find it difficult to think of "unlocks automatically" as more safe than "is locked until I enter my password". I'm open for it, but it just feels strange to me.
What makes TPM+pin safer than just having a normal LUKS password? I would think it would be the same amount of security just with more chance of data loss if your computer gets damaged
TPM is used for measured boot. Measured boot can check various parts of the system to ensure they are the expected values haven’t been tampered with. You don’t want a part of the system to be replaced with malware and not realize it.
If it detects something changed, it won’t release its secret. It may signal to you that something malicious was done or something benign that the OS updated didn’t account for.

In criminal law, mens rea (/ˈmɛnz ˈreɪə/; Law Latin for "guilty mind"[1]) is the mental stateof a defendant who is accused of committing a crime. In common law jurisdictions, most crimes require proof both of mens rea and actus reus ("guilty act") before the defendant can be found guilty.

I wonder if there were bad hidden things in the bill again? (I know most of the US congress is bought by AIPAC)
Like in the US, a bill often gets to congress that is named something like "the children are the future protections act" that provides free meals and better education for kids or something universally good, and then clause 7.1.2.5 says "all people of color are stripped of all rights and Lockheed Martin gets an extra 200 billion per year and a on-demand hit squad provided by the CIA and is immune to prosecution, and the police have the right to spy on every citizen and steal their wallets without a warrant."
Because the majority of members of US congress have admitted to not actually reading the bills.
This was not a vote on the whole bill. It was a vote to change a part of the bill and strip out funding for some free weapons to Israel. It was voted on seperately.
It could also just be that it's MTG's bill and she's introducing it because she's explicitly antisemitic. It's like if a well-known white supremacist introduced articles of impeachment for Clarence Thomas because they can't stand having a black man on the court. Maybe if this is the one shot that can get it done you bite the bullet and do it because the result is worthwhile even if you're going to get asked why you teamed up with the white supremacist, but for a doomed bill that's only going to be a statement of principles, the benefit is limited and the person who introduced it is part of the statement.
MTG's problematic aspect isn't her being a Republican. It's not even that she's a particularly bad person (she is). The perceived motivation for this messaging bill is antisemitism. This is Jewish space lasers lady.
I suppose you could pretend that context and pretext simply don't exist. Poll taxes were just about raising money and English only laws are about government standardization.
I'm also not of the opinion that the people voting for it made a heinous choice either. They were just willing to take questions about MTG's antisemitism in exchange for a minor messaging vote. Nothing anyone did here is important. AOC has put out statements much more critical of Israel than being vote 7 on a muddled messaging bill.
AOC is voting to send weapons to a genocide here. You deem that optically worse than voting for an amendement against it because the person who filed the amendement is antisemitic?
She's already getting called out by a human rights lawyer for complicity in genocide. Way to go. https://x.com/CraigMokhiber/status/1946593970148249744
Ahh now that it fits the division you seek you're all about human rights lawyers but once they talk about subjects hexbear doesn't like it's all color revolution and slander?
I disagree but again that's politics. I think it's easy to throw shit from the audience but when it comes to navigating these things it's far more than just ideals and instead of progress we drag any sense of it through the mud because it's imperfect.
Y'all had a different tune to play when Ukraine was unfolding
I’m pretty sure a large contingent of her constituency is New York Jews, many of whom are probably Orthodox… It’s not a stretch to believe that many of those voters are also Zionists
This looks like a bad-faith AOC attack piece. I'm sure she's not perfect. I'm also sure that she's a better, more ethical politician than most in the USA (which isn't saying much, you guys have awful politicians).
One might wonder why you choose to post this, instead of focusing on the way, way, way worse things also going on over there.
I don't have all the info she does. I do abhor the war on Gaza and am against violence, especially the genocidal kind we see here. I also don't think there's an easy solution to the problem, nor that MTG's proposal would have done anything good.
Let's just say we're mostly on the same side of this matter, nitpicking over details.
People who say you should criticize AOC less because there are way worse members of congress act like she’s just passively sitting there being a mediocre lawmaker. She’s not. She’s actively anchoring the leftmost edge of the Overton window of US politics to militarism, capitalism, colonialism, and genocide. She’s actively stopping American politics from moving any further left than the nightmare we see before us.
Leftists shouldn’t hate AOC less than the politicians to her right, they should hate her much more. It isn’t Mike Johnson’s responsibility to move the US government to the left, and it’s not Nancy Pelosi’s job. It’s hers. That’s what she was elected to do. That’s what she framed the goals of her entire political career as being. And she’s taking her stand firmly bracing against any leftward movement from America’s genocidal, warmongering, unjust, exploitative, tyrannical status quo.
I mean, yeah, I don't disagree, but surely its more important for this specific article to note that there are only 6 representatives in the house who care about reducing the money going to Israel?
This is intentionally misleading, and it's framed in such a way as to make AOC look bad regardless of how she voted.
The bill removed "offensive" weapons, but left in "defensive" weapons. The distinction is meaningless; defensive weapon systems allow Israel to continue to prosecute it's genocide without other countries (notably Iran) being able to act against them, so it still enables genocide.
If she votes against the bill: AOC opposes cutting military aid to Israel!
If she votes for the bill: AOC voted to keep sending weapons to Israel!
The propaganda spin from tankies will make it seem like she's in favor of genocide regardless of what she did in this instance; she certainly didn't have to power to introduce and amendment that would have stripped ALL Israel funding from the bill, so no matter what she does, it's going to be 'wrong' to tankies.
$10 says that saying this gets me muted and/or banned from .ml.
Can you tell me which sentence in that statement clearly says, "I support sending weapons to Israel"? Or are you making a lot of inferences based on you a priori beliefs?
...And so it's not enough that she voted against the appropriations bill that would have entirely funded the Israel war machine, she also needed to vote for the amendment to the bill that would have cut 'offensive weapons' in a bill that she was going to vote against...? source for the bill, source for vote record
Whilst we should be fighting Zionism, let's not celebrate MTG, as she did this likely because of geniune antisemitism as opposed to a concern for Palestinians. Remember the Jewish Space Laser thing.
Social media is full of these half baked justifications like the ones you've responding to here makes it clear that aoc actions are just as uncritically accepted as any of her fellow Democrats as they continue supporting the genocide.
Can you show me where I implied that the bill contained JSL? Where I justified the bill being voted against? I just said "hey MTG doesn't have good interests at heart and if this bill is good it might be broken clock moment" but sure, go off

In PHPs defense, it keeps evolving in positive, meaningful ways. If you are up to date with it, it’s quite sophisticated and enjoyable. Doubly so if you use a framework like Laravel.
Most memes or jokes referencing a direct problem in PHP, are old or made by people who haven't touched the language in a decade(version 7 was in 2015, and it removed/fixed a lot of issues and added needed features).
There's also the huge looming thing that a lot of programmers forget: Websites like Wikipedia run on PHP, not to mention the amount of WordPress and similar websites are out there. Which means it will keep going strong. And for a while Facebook also used quite a lot of it, to the point where they made a rudimentary compiler instead of rewriting parts in more efficient languanges.
Let's be honest though. The early PHP versions were absolute dog shit. And the definition of how not to design a programming language. That said, that never stopped anyone in web development from using it apparently. No clue what modern PHP looks like, apparently it's better now.

Ho chiesto a gipiti di fare una cosa, e (…dopo 3 passaggi) ok… ma mi sa che poi, con le mie modifiche manuali, concesse dalle mie smisurate competenze in bitmap editing, l’ho peggiorata. A parte spostare il colore leggermente su un magenta, ho tolto lo sfondo quadrato e reso quindi l’icona trasparente… ma mi sa che non è troppo il caso, tra contrasto potenzialmente basso su sfondi diversi e forma della pigna che così sembra troppo alta. 😩 Vabbé, per ora questa qui la considererò temporanea, che comunque è meglio di niente… però mah, mi sa che vorrei qualcosa di più texturato… Tipo, cosa accadrebbe se questa emoji della pigna (?!?!?!) in PNG, non ufficiale (…uffa), che un po’ ricorda lo stile grafico di Haiku, si fondesse con una puntina, come già succede nel design attuale? (E, forse forse, una pigna che non è color pigna è una pigna marcia, quindi mi sa che ‘ste tinte rosse manco vanno bene…) 🍂

Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, has called for Barack Obama and former senior US national security officials to be prosecuted after accusing them of a “treasonous conspiracy” intended to show that Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential election win was due to Russian interference.
She said Obama and senior officials in his administration had “[laid] the groundwork for … a years-long coup” against Trump after his victory over Hillary Clinton by “manufacturing intelligence” to suggest that Russia had tried to influence the election. That included using a dossier prepared by a British intelligence analyst, Christopher Steele, that they knew to be unreliable, Gabbard claimed.
The post-election intelligence estimates contrasted with findings reached before the election, which indicated that Russia probably was not trying to interfere. In extraordinary comments calling for prosecutions, she added: “The information we are releasing today clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government.
When it came to light in January 2017, just days before Donald Trump took office, the so-called Steele dossier landed like a bombshell and sent shockwaves around the world with its salacious allegations about Trump and his supposed ties to Russia.
The central allegations, that Trump conspired with the Kremlin to win the 2016 election and that Russia had compromising information on him, were given a veneer of credibility because they originated from a retired British spy, Christopher Steele, who had a solid reputation.
But five years later, the credibility of the dossier has significantly diminished.
A series of investigations and lawsuits have discredited many of its central allegations and exposed the unreliability of Steele’s sources. They also raise serious questions about the political underpinnings of some key explosive claims about Trump by shedding new light on the involvement of some well-connected Democrats in the dossier, and separate efforts to prod the FBI to investigate ties between Trump’s campaign and Russia.
Zohran Mamdani’s campaign struggled to win “the Black vote.” That was part of the narrative that emerged after Mamdani’s surprising win in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary. Though Mamdani, a state assemblymember, decisively triumphed over his chief opponent, disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the young democratic socialist’s performance in majority-Black precincts proved to be a weak spot.
The so-called Black vote, in other words, doesn’t need to shake out the way it frequently has in the past; all indications are that it won’t.
Mamdani is the candidate that has shown he can seize on young voter enthusiasm — and with young Black voters, themselves no monolith, offering Mamdani an opening. True, some of these younger voters are moving toward the Republican Party, but it’s also true that young Black Democrats are more likely to hold more progressive views than their older counterparts.
Indeed, young Black voters appear to have gone decisively for Mamdani in the primary. According to one primary exit poll (with a small sample size), about 70 percent of Black voters under 50 voted for Mamdani citywide. There’s no reason to think he will lose that support in the general, and if he can continue to increase young Black voter turnout, he may not need the older ones.
