If MIT AppInventor is still kicking around, you should be able to use it for this... although sadly you won't have access to the source code since it's a Scratch-like way to create apps.
By default the Android voice assistant uses Google tech AFAIK, if you're after a truly source-available solution then there's ”Futo voice input" to handle STT, and "RHVoice" to handle TTS - though these would still need a HTTP API bridge to do what you want
I think so, assuming these malicious packages are all primitive enough to just look for the single file in a user's home folder lol. The only downside here is needing to provide the keyfile location to ssh every time you want to connect... Although a system search would pretty much defeat that instantly as you mention
SSH keyfiles can be encrypted, which requires a password entry each time you connect to a SSH server. Most linux distros that I've used automatically decrypt the SSH keyfile for you when you log in to a remote machine (using the user keyring db), or ask you for the keyfile password once and remember it for the next hour or so (using the ssh-agent program in the background).
On Windows you can do something similar with Cygwin and ssh-agent, however it is a little bit of a hassle to set up. If you use WSL i'd expect the auto keyfile decryption to work comparably to Linux, without needing to configure anything
Is Tesla still training the Autopilot neural network in 3D worlds, or are they now entirely relying on driver data?
Honestly I think developers should just use push notifications to tell the app to directly fetch the notification contents from their server, rather than sending the contents of the notification using push, where it is stored by Apple/Google.
Or do what Element and Syncthing do, which is bypass that entire Google push infrastructure (FCM, formerly GCM?) and connect directly to their own ones instead - at the expense of some additional battery consumption, particularly when there's poor cell service. Due to iOS restrictions on background apps, this probably isn't possible on that platform?
Edit: add clarification
In the rural areas near where I am, gigabit fiber in underfunded areas is being installed, but sadly a vocal minority of residents keep burning up and sawing down the new fiber internet poles.
Of course we don't hear about the good news from areas where it's installed drama free, but the bad news where something goes terribly wrong is the one that sticks, and affects the general public's impressions of a particular area or stereotype 😒
Admittedly the pole installation method for this is quite odd though, maybe a cost saving measure as usually it's done underground
This only really happens when fuckcars posts show up on /all IMO, where some of the more extreme opinion holders are more vocal.
Fuck cars means fuck car dependency, i.e. places designed specifically for cars: no sidewalks, no bus, no train, no safe bicycle or light motorized assistive vehicle infrastructure available - you need a car for everything, or stay trapped at home.
It doesn't mean fuck cars literally.
It's pretty well known that rural areas, by design, require cars and motorbikes to travel out of them - a train is ideal, but good luck convincing anyone to finance that kind of project. A bicycle could work well for moving around town though depending on how safe it is, saving some wear and tear from your vehicle
Looked up what "fawning" meant, never heard that word before
praising someone too much and giving them a lot of attention that is not sincere in order to get a positive reaction
Haven't watched the video so I'm unsure of the context, whether it's about a neurotypical as the recipient of fawning, or a neurotypical fawning another individual
I think they would start obfuscating the relevant code to get around it
Many ad networks and AABs do something similar (especially Admiral) in an attempt to evade ad blocking extensions
First one that came to mind when I saw the title TBH. First it was period tracking apps, now this. Scary state of things
I hope this NEWAG gets raked over the coals for this.
It's outrageous to hold public infrastructure at ransom because the equipment spent X days in an independent repair shop - and pretty invasive to have DRM monitoring the train's GPS location, and in some cases live reporting these back to the manufacturer to facilitate a remote lockdown.
Not to mention pushing an update to flag up a copyright warning on a screen in the drivers' cab while the train is running 🤦♂️
I commend the engineer at the independent repair facility that had the idea to have hackers pick apart the train's control unit, and the rest of the team for agreeing to it.
A quick stop while riding home, because I thought a picture at this spot would look nice 😅
Recently picked up new polyester shorts for riding, and it's made it so much more comfortable for longer rides compared to the previous cotton shorts. Feel like it doesn't restrict my legs as much, allowing me to put some more power down going uphill.
That aside, the store assistant noticed that I altered their reusable insulated bag to slide onto a pannier rack, and thought it was interesting 😅. Will probably need to pick up an expensive cycling bag (which I originally wanted to avoid) to haul heavier shopping... not sure if it's worth risking it with this DIY one

Saw this posted on [email protected] and thought ideal to crosspost here too
At the end of Q2 2023, Backblaze was monitoring 245,757 hard drives and SSDs in our data centers around the world. Of that number, 4,460 are boot drives, with 3,144 being SSDs and 1,316 being HDDs.
This graph looks at the annual failure rate for drives more than 5 years old. The higher capacity ones look a little bit concerning IMO. This is discussed within a short section later on in the blog post.
When I first started out shopping by bike, I pretty much stuffed my backpack full. I had an MTB so a pannier wasn't really an option. If things ended up not fitting, my handlebars came to the rescue to hold the rest of the bags.
With my current bike however, things are a little different. The rear pannier rack enables a few more options and things to try...
Carabiner
Tried and tested, never failed me yet. Using the carabiner I can carry a pretty heavy bag on the rear pannier, without shelling out $$ for an expensive cycling bag.
The bag does stick out a bit depending on how packed it is, which is something to be aware of.
Motorcycle helmet clips
These mainly allow me to secure boxes and water bottles to the top of the pannier rack, while still being able to quickly attach and detach shopping bags from the side.
While the helmet clips themselves have been flawless, the bags themselves have been less than stellar - every single one of them have ripped so far ☹️
DIY pannier bag
I did consider getting a proper cycling rack bag... but they're a bit costly and can't really be used for much else.
After some research I made my own, using a reusable 'cooler' shopping bag from a supermarket, and a cheap pannier attachment kit. I had some short bolts, nyloc nuts and washers available to put it together.
It's so much more convenient to use than the other two methods above, but I haven't put it to the test yet with heavy shopping. The zip is a pretty nice touch to keep shopping cool and dry.

How do you guys carry your shopping, or any goods in general?

Only thing I can think of would be to spin up a new instance, subscribe to the community, and then run queries against the db directly to identify bot or troll-like behavior in the community
Previously I would have said to just browse the community from Kbin because it used to expose a lot more user activity, such as upvoted/downvoted posts/users, but I believe that's no longer visible...
Hopefully as Lemmy continues to develop, more tools become available
