MAGA folks are conspiracy nuts and AFAIK one of them is that USAID was a tool of the CIA to have influence over foreign governments (or smth like that). Which was peddled by anti-imperialists originally, AFAIK. It wouldn't surprise me if this somehow transpired into MAGA circles and was interpreted as an instrument purely used by democrat elites to rob hard working Americans of their tax dollars, which is of course happening more than ever under their current kleptocratic "government".
In addition he needed Twitter to get Trump elected in the first place as shown by Led By Donkeys.
Owning a "refurbished" (some other fediverse user told me those are shit though) Pixel 6 for a year now as I don't need the latest and greatest and wanted to test drive GrapheneOS. Previous phones were mostly new low to mid-price Motos with LineageOS. But this beats them all. The camera is great. National (FOSS) ID app works via NFC with my physical ID-card. Navigation (also offline and with integrated TTS) with OsmAnd works great. Google's camera app works even without activated Play Service. KDE-Connect works. Using the excellent Fossify apps for calendar, gallery and file manager. JTXBoard for notes and tasks where the latter are synced to my Nextcloud (as well as calendar appointments, contact list, RSS-News, podcasts via gpodder-Nextcloud sync). The exceptional FUTO keyboard supports Speech-To-Text and swiping via local AI and models (which works very good).
I install most apps via Obtainium directly from APKs from release pages on Github and Codeberg (even the official German ID app) after vetting how many devs are working on the app, how many stars it has and how much LLMs were used in the development. Then if no APK is available the next app source is F-Droid, then if it's not on there, Aurora store for pure Play Store apps, then if it's a paid app and/or it needs Play Services, I switch to the second profile on which sandboxed Play Services are enabled and I'm logged in to the Play Store.
Did not test banking or payment as I rather do that on the PC and via card/cash.
Feels very good to be tracked minimally and I hope the goated GrapheneOS devs are able to provide the means to sideload apps for a foreseeable future and the second hand Pixel market is not overrun by scalpers.
Not in this case. The advise was given by democrats and is directly opposed to the interests of MAGA and fossil fuel interests. The bad advise actually came from other EU states.
Look for a documentary by "Belly of the Beast" about a US MD travelling to Cuba with his patients against travelling restrictions.
Nope. But NeuralCIM seems to be when continually prescribed. Questionable if the western world (especially the US) will ever have it, since it was developed in Cuba. At least Canada is conducting a clinical trial, rn.
Futo Keyboard is exceptional too. With local models, dictionary for speech-to-text, swipe and spell check.
Not allowing the second profile to run in the background is a big win for battery life.
Wait what? I assumed it wouldn't run by default. I just checked and you're correct. There's a switch for that. Battery drain is ok but not as good as other more bloated Androids I owned. I know Pixels are not the best in that regard but I hope this will give it a good boost. Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah not eating enough protein does that. Try TVP. It's an extremely versatile (Chilli, Lasagne, meatloaf, meat balls, bolognese, Asian fried noodles etc.) and cheap (for now) replacement for ground beef. It seems to have a better amino acid profile than chicken:
TVP: https://www.admanimalnutrition.com/webcenter/content/conn/WCC1/uuid/dDocName%3ATVPSPECSHEET
It blows chicken out of the water regarding minerals like iron, magnesium or calcium. Compare the TVP-spec-sheet with this. Tofu (if made with gypsum as a coagulant) is even more packed with calcium, where 100g can already mean more than 1/2 of your daily needs.
Chicken comes with more vitamins (but also antibiotically resistant bacteria, chloride, growth hormones and animal suffering), while TVP brings anti-oxidants in the form of isoflavinoids.
Yeah it's based on soybeans but you can see tons of manly man vegan body builders eating that stuff on a daily basis. They got big breasts but those are not from phythoestrogens.
Regarding your Burger addiction. TVP is the perfect remedy.
A quadrillion of websites exist for fire vegan recipes (which take care of the vitamins missing with TVP) with one of the most prolific one being https://www.noracooks.com/.
It provides screenshots, categories and icons for Flatpak packages. AFAIK those aren't provided by AUR or the official Arch repositories. Icons seem to be integrated for some official packages at least.
A Shelly in-built way for user contributed additional data for Arch packages could be a way to tackle this. But that needs additional infrastructure, developers and volunteers who curate the contributions.
Shelly is a nice frontend. Octopi is too, to quickly check PKGBUILDs, show contained files or open the respective AUR page.
Bagger 288 and Bagger 293 were fully electric, AFAIK. 1995 already. Tallest terrestrial vehicle.
Tons (excuse the pun) of different electric excavators seem to exist already (e.g. from Hitachi). I'm sure even those which are powered via cables won't go to a diesel generator and the electricity they get can very well come from renewables.
In Nordic European countries already 17% of their trucks drive battery electric.
I heard with the Hormuz situation there's a substantial push to electrify the truck flotillas right now in the rich EU countries. Many postal vehicles are electric also.
No objection regarding (jet-)planes or cargo-ships. Know nothing about the details but could imagine those to be hard to optimize for weight with a myriad of batteries for long hauls in unpredictable power requirements.
Also: animal ag uses 80% of all arable land with most of it destined for grazing land (which a lot of (rain-)-forest had to be razed for) while only producing 17% of global calories and 38% of global proteins. The rest comes from human edible plants. A global switch to a plant based diet would reduce land usage from 4 to 1 billion. It's still possible to re-wild grazing lands.
RustRover. AI is turned off. Love it. Though I'm somewhat OK with NeoVIM keystrokes, I fear it will take a lot of time to get to the level of comfort in debugging, auto complete, run configurations, import management, linting etc. I have with RustRover.
