welcome to western world.

maybe that was the remastering process issues. also maybe 4k movies are not actually 4ks and are AI upscalers from actual 2k masters.

science and medicine mostly prolong life or save lives. they can (in a very limited manner) help somewhat with tiredness at old age. healthy brain function is not improved that much with the help of health industry.

and we need those who their thinking is not fossilized. I don’t mean that as insult, it is just they way of life.

as I said they can of course be advisers.

are you saying most 110 years old are capable of holding highest offices? like house of representatives? they need to move alot and talk to alot of people. it is very tiring.

if not at 110 then at some age most of us are not really gonna be great at those “jobs”.

and another side to my point is that old people are gonna set in their politics and also is they survive the politics circus (many many terms) then they become like a family so they are not gonna rock the boat, so they usually become THE status quo. look at Bernie and his support for jewish isis.

also they are not really good at fixing new problems (or even old ones) with new tools.

yes but the public office, specially the manager, need working brain that can tackle new ideas. I think 80 is too high. I think 70 is too high. maybe set it as the age of retirement.

they can still be as advisors though.

bernie has been a pressure valve for USA political system.

I am not American but I don’t think any significant move has been done by him except support for unions. and with respect to Palestine vs Jewish ISIS, Bernie has been a Biden copy.

In my opinion there should be an age limit for public office. I think 70 should be the max. I my even go to 65.

if you use windows too, I remember from way back that windows made my network card to go to sleep(or some powersave move) at the windows shutdown, that make linux have issue with it.

I don’t remember what the exact issue was but I remember it was windows doing it at its shutdown to save power, because pcie network card can stay awake even with pc off so that computer can be woke up via network (‘Shutdown Wake-On-Lan’ or a ‘Wake on Magic Packet’) windows made the card go to sleep and linux didn’t wake it up.

My post was not supposed to be that TikTok specifically is bad.

my point was every platform (that uses attention as money generator) would eventually be some kind of short videos which emulates pov of user (vertical interface instead of TV horizontal interface) that encourage “engagements”

every platform becomes TikTok at the end.

Time to fund /e/OS GraoheneOS

no.

those are just android with some modification. two years from now google can easily disrupt them too.

phones need a copyleft new OS. not a foss one, an actual copyleft one. with an independent group managing it.

an OS that a company can decide what app I can run on it is just a surveillance apparatus gadget.

google never wanted user to have control of their phone even 10 years ago.

the easiest way to check this is to see if you can stop an installed app to ever do stuff without you explicitly opening it. they are so many “triggers” that apps can register and run based on them that user cant do anything about them. “wifi connected” “wifi disconnected” and so on.

if an app can “listen” to these triggers and I cant disable it from listening to them (even for non-system apps) them I don’t really own my phone. then android is just a attention stealing spam machine at best and spying and terror gadget for world’s supremacist regimes too.

I think even apple iOS has that option (disabling backgournd refresh per app ) and in that regard is better than android. If I wasn’t against non-foss software and I didn’t live in Iran, at this point apple iOS is not that different fro google and is more polished too.

I never said it was talking out of his ass.

propaganda does not mean lies.

when BBC persian (media arm of government of England under command of foreign minister) says something about my country (Iran) it doesnt have to lie to spread propaganda.

you can see it in headlines.

when Iranian say some thing the source is before the info and it usually say something like: Iranians claim that “usa attacked them”

when jewish Isis kills Palestinians and then claim that they are khamas members, then BBC title will be : “hamas members killed in missle attacks , israel claims.”

you don’t have to lie to deceive people.

ah… the propaganda rage names themoscowtimes

“FrEE mArKEt caPitLIsm”

you are welcome human.

remember that you are just a meat bag. future is AI overlord. don’t ever forget your place/.

sure. I am AI itself.

btw okular has way more options that I like. like color palettes. but paper is way faster for browsing.

but that would be rude. I just wanted to promote an app that I quite like (it is faster than the kde app I used)

what you mean?

the new paper app is faster and that is from someone who usually hates gnome apps because of lack of setting option. (even this app has that issue with gnome-brain UI that put the night mode on the left side sidebar option removed from all other options that are on the right side)

I understand the motivation behind people that think rust is a good language to write software in as it has better memory safety but I don’t think everythink needs to get rusted.

but I understand even less the people that make fun of passionate people that like rust and like safer software.

at first the meme was rust is a cult. now the meme is those who made fun of them are a meme.

example: https://techrights.org/n/2025/03/19/Sami_Tikkanen_Explains_on_Rust_Language_and_Its_Goals.shtml

I read this article with the expectation that it was a fair pro-con examination. and it had some bit that was very good point (like the discord part) but the theme of the article was just rust is bad because I say rust people are pod people.

this is not a good technical discussion.

and I ,as a non-programmer that have used linux for that last 20 years and like to follow software trends, like that rust is making a large part of security problems of apps be less severe.

I don’t that make me a cult member.

I used to use okular but now use the new https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Papers which seems to be faster. maybe because it written in rust?
