Well, the future is here now.

AFAIK Kotlin and Java code can co-exist as source level. Never tried it though. I guess it depends on the end case scenario what to use.

Isn’t kotlin a better option?

That’s awesome, already China has 500 of these. OTOH RIP infrastructure when a few of those cars start charging and you’d need a power plant or two nearby 😵‍💫 It’d be awesome if each charging station had huge batteries charged though renewables instead.

HP is bonkers but don’t miss out the charging power of a megawatt. After Are there such chargers out there? But if that works, it gets ICE like refueling speed.

Right, until next time they propose it again.

I donate occasionally, specially when I use it a lot. Last donation was to KDE.

Can it be a BIOS/UEFI setting that disk is hot swappable? I vaguely remember similar issue on Windows. If that’s the case, try setting it as not hot swappable in BIOS/UEFI.

Because public transport requires a lot of investments in infrastructure (trains) and a lot of that into vehicles, drivers and maintenance, plus there would be a lot of non-profitable lines, specially when you have a fragmented country. Also a vision from politicians. They would understand “relatively cheaper” one time investments better, and EVs are the thing politicians like to speak about all the time. IOW we won’t see working public transport ever, while this … it might happen. Emphasis on might.

While I’d like this scenario, I don’t see it realistically happen in my country, Slovenia. At least not to degree that we’d have a working public transport.That leaves us with cars and the idea mentioned in article has a lot of merit.

On MacOS is UMT/Qemu.

I fear that EU will cave to the Orange as it usually does after a week or so. Read the article - it already did, no surprises there.

SELinux doesn’t help much when it comes to desktop apps. AFAIK it’s more geared towards server apps and its configuration is complicated. At least that’s my impression.

You are right, GPG signing is good as well. But in both cases you still have unsigned apps.

What security problems do you think package managers are vulnerable to? If the upstream repo is compromised all bets are off regardless of the system.

Yep. And in such case an antivirus software might come handy.

Even package managers are vulnerable to many security problems - can they guarantee that apps are not infected either directly or indirectly (through a library)? There is also flathub. Windows have also an option to verify apps through certificates which isn’t the case with Linux AFAIK. If you want to stay safe on Windows to some degree you can, but the real problem IMO is that Windows is hugely more used and run by less technical persons. 🤷‍♂️

If we had slow chargers all over the parking places would change a lot. So we could charge cars overnight for cheap.

Security: Linux doesn’t need antivirus, just don’t install infected software. Riiiight? Sorry, but this is silly.

I bet they use AI instead of servicemen.

From what I read so far, hardware key is just another way to decrypting, not the required. So it’s just a convenient method to avoid typing a (long) password and instead just few PIN chars. So, if somebody gets hold of password, can still decrypt the disk even without the hardware key. Not perfect, but still better than only password.
