La scusa con cui gli hanno dato la multa (esposizione di qualcosa che disrarrebbe gli automobilisti) è ridicola. Peccato che il povaraccio adesso abbia a che fare con ricorsi e controricorsi. Spero che abbia il sostegno economico e non di cui ha bisogno

Molto interessante.

Di recente ho installato Aves nel tentativo di liberarmi da google photo. Funziona bene, apprezzo molto la visuale "mappa", tra l'altro.

Però Aves non ha tool di editing. Speravo di potermi affidare a "image toolbox", che uso già, ma gli manca la possibilità di correggere la rotazione delle immagini (tipo 1 o 2 gradi).

L'editor di fossify gallery ha questa possibilità? O ci sono altri tool che qualcuno mi può consigliare?

Just guessing: trying to minimize vortexes and turbulences.

Conclusions are similar to this video from Berm Peak channel, that could find goof helemts (in terms of protection) at low price.

However he advises to be aware of the existence of helemts on amazon that would not protect at all!

Carabinieri are a police force that is under military hierarchy, but they are trained to operate in a civil context. They act and are equipped as a police force.

But the army mentioned in the news would be the one used to fight wars, with uniform and automatic weapons, not Carabienieri

Ok, I got your point

What I wanted to say, on the other hand, is that for one guy with an axe that ends up in the news, you have 100 guys that may act aggressively and/or violently. And as it is today, doctors and medical personnel has to deal with those too. A soldier would be even less suitable in those cases...

Quite a lot:

  • energy efficency: a phone with a screen on will depleate battery very fast. This thing claims 20 h battery lide while actually using it
  • readability in full sunlight: most phones are not readable in full sunlight and consume a lot in this situation
  • impermeability: while many phones nowadays can withstand some water, this thing is designed to be used under the rain

Is it worth it? I guess it depends on the use you make of you bike...

A soldier is trained to deal with enemies with at least an automatic rifle.

Policemen are instead trained to deal with crazies with axes, knives, rods... etc. and possibly neutrilize them without killing them. They should be able to try a negotiation even. What can a soldier with an automatic rifle already in his hand do? Shoot.

It's easy:

  • war, peace keeping -> army
  • public order, criminals -> police
[–] lgsp@feddit.it 25 points 2 months ago (18 children)

Using army for public order, why? Soldiers are trained to fight, not ti deal with problematic, probably unarmed people.

Just use the police. There used to be police posts at ERs, they were cut. We don't need a new solution...

They grew after BMW bought the company, so most of that growth was after that, specifically 3rd Gen.

The point of the post is not much that cars grew, they have always been doing so.

The main point is that the growth in dimension happen, but manufacturers don't want to highlight it, and in the ad the old and the new Minis look like they are roughly the same size.

What fairphone model do you havre?

The same thing happened to me (FP4). And I found the same solution...

I use developer options to use Shizuku, so I assumed it had to do with that. The same thing is that it happened again, after some time, but I don't understand what triggered that

[–] lgsp@feddit.it 12 points 2 months ago

Moreover the orginal 256/8 model got a 10% price cut and is now "only" 630 €

A leaked "independent" repair shop contract shows that Samsung requires them to give Samsung the name, contact information, phone identifier, and customer complaint details of everyone who gets their phone repaired at these shops,

Stunningly, it also requires these nominally independent shops to “immediately disassemble” any phones that customers have brought them that have been previously repaired with aftermarket or third-party parts and to “immediately notify” Samsung

It's the second in a row news about Samsung acting agsunst the customers right to repair, showing how much we need good right to repair laws.

 

As revealed by iFixit, Samsung collaboration never worked well, with parts that were too expensive, and/or glued together (like a battery+screen replacement!)

Moreover Samsung never really tried to make their designs more repairable.

ifixit blog post is full of episodes, like when Samsung and iFixit announced an upcycle program, and then Samsung disappeared.

Ok, Samsung is cleared not interested in making their product repairable.

 

Milan has 51 cars for 100 inhabitants, which is the double of other big cities in Europe, like Madrid (291,3) o Paris (225,2). One of the consequences is that traffic is terrible, and Milan is, for example, one of the worst cities on TomTom traffic index

Another big consequence is that motorists will park cars everywhere, because the number of legal on-street parking spots much lower than needed (the number of on-street parking spots is already much higher than other similar European cities) . If you have ever been in Milan, you would know that you can find cars parked on the sidewalks, on the bike lanes, between the trees at the side of the road, on zebra crossings, at the corners of intersections, at the bus stops, double parked (take a look at the pictures in this article to get an idea). This is a big issue, because people with reduced mobility, parents with strollers, people with sight issues are strongly impaired by this situation. Moreover an average of 5 times every day, public transit (trams and buses) gets stuck because of some really badly parked car, causing delays for tens or hundreds of people.

The administration is not willing to help and tolerates the status without doing much except the worst situations. They fear that this will impact their popularity, and may lose next elections. It is a well known fact that getting a ticket for illegal parking is so rare, that it costs less than a legal payed parking spot!

People was so fed up with the situation that and association called "Sai che puoi?" was able to organize an event to count and map illegally parked cars during the night of May 16th. It took a long time and effort, with some tests on a few blocks performed in the past. They also did a great social campaign with posts and videos like this one , and developed a web app on purpose.

The results were astonishing: 2000 people took part, and were able to walk all the 1700 km of the 3780 streets in the city and count illegally parked cars, divided by parking location (on the street, on the sidewalks, between the trees)

the streets of Milan turned green because all of them were part of the count at the end

Results:

  • 64000 illegally parked cars (during the day the situation gets even worse, with people coming from outside the city!)
    • 37000 on the street
    • 15000 on the sidewalks
    • 11000 on the grass or between the trees

This means that the city administration could get 5.3 million euros of tickets in one night, which means the equivalent of 134000 public transit month tickets.

The final aim is to force the administration to act and do something. The idea is that neglecting the issue with such numbers should be more difficult.

I think this is a great story, and I never heard of something like this from anywhere else. I want to say thank you to the organizers and I would love to get this event known outside Italy

 

Honestly I don't know the authors or books, but I know that the the Storiybundles are usually not bad.

The Universe of Adventure Sci-Fi Bundle - Curated by independent authors John Wilker & Dave Walsh: When it comes to science fiction, there are a lot of different flavors.

There's sci-fi that's quiet and contemplative, sci-fi that sticks to our understanding of modern science, then there's sci-fi that spans different galaxies and times, or even sci-fi that warps our understanding of reality.

Ritmo, energia, rabbua e contenuto, tutto degno e all'altezza dei Rage Against the Machine.

Prima di attraversare la strada, prendi un mattone dall'apposito cestino e tienilo ben in vista. Precedenza garantita!

Di recente ho scoperto un modo relativamente semplice per avere accesso al sistema Android, senza dovermi complicare troppo la vita.

Una delle cose più immediate da fare è la disinstallazione di qualunque applicazione, anche di sistema, senza root, e senza shell ADB via collegamento USB

Come fare?

  • quello che serve si può installare usando Droidify che è un client F-droid che include già vari repository tra cui anche Izziondroid.
  • abilitare le "opzioni sviluppatore" di android, per accedere alle opzioni di debug
  • Installare Shizuku
  • Avviare Shizuku tramite "debug wireless" (android 11 e successivi). L'app include istruzioni passo passo da seguire. Questa parte è un po' intricata, ma portate pazienza
  • Installate Canta
  • Canta fornisce una lista delle app installate affiancandole ad una valutazione fornita dal database di universal android debloater, che aiuta a capire cosa si può disinstallare senza romepre il sistema ("reccomended"), e cosa invece richiede più attenzione ("expert" o "unsafe"). Cliccando su ciascuna applicaizione vengono fornite ulteriori informazioni su cosa l'app fa
    • Nelle FAQ di Universal android debloater trovate la spiegazione di ciascuna valurazione
  • Selezionate quel che volete, cliccate disinstalla. Apparirà un popup di Shikuzu per autorizzare Canta, date l'autorizzazione, ed è fatta!

Io personalmente ho comprato un tablet Lenovo, era pieno di schifezze. L'ho fatto diventare un quasi "android puro". Ne vale la pena

 

Io non conosco le opinioni di questi ragazzi, ma credo che stiano subendo un'ingiustizia mostruosa.

Sono persone nate in Italia, che probabilmente conoscono solo l'Italia, studiano in Italia, parlano italiano, eppure devono aspettare i 18 anni e fare esplicita richiesta, con un sacco di burocrazia, per essere italiani.

Io sarei furioso con uno stato che mi fa passare tutto ciò, senza nessuna ragione valida, francamente.

Cosa ne pensate?

 

L'estensione apparentemente non si può installare sulla versione Android, ma c'è un trucchetto.

  • Aprite un nuovo tab su una qualunque pagina
  • abilitate lo switch "sito desktop" dal menu coi 3 puntini
  • andate alla pagina dell'addon (è quella del link di questo post)
  • adesso è possibile installarlo.

Una volta installato, durante la navigazione comparirà una piccola icona di traduzione. Cliccandoci sopra potrete avviare la traduzione della pagina, anche in modalità non desktop.

Siate pazienti, perché la prima volta dovrà scaricare il pacchetto della lingua da tradurre, e poi impiegherà del tempo per generare la traduzione vera e propria. Tenete presente che la traduzione è offline, quindi fatta sul processore del vostro smartphone, non su qualche server con molte più risorse.

 

Queste sono i traguardi importanti da raggiungere!🤣

L'articolo parla anche di tecniche assurde che non conoscevo per premere i pulsanti più velocemente e che finora solo bot software erano riusciti a "battere" (mandare in crash) tetris per NES.

Ho un dilemma che mi si ripropone regolarmente: conosco bene l'inglese, e non so mai se leggere i libri in lingua originale o tradotti.

Mi succede perché leggendo ebook ho spesso la possibilità di scegliere, e di solito lo faccio in base al prezzo, con la conseguenza che mi capita magari di cominciare una serie in inglese e continuare in italiano, ma mi sembra di fare un gran casino.

Come principio mi piacerebbe leggere in lingua originale, ma poi magari incappo in modi di dire particolari o riferimenti che non capisco perché pensati per chi ha un background anglo-americano, quindi alla fine trovo la lettura in italiano più rilassante.

Ovviamente dipende dal libro: se prendo Neuronancer, che è già difficile da capire come contenuto e ci aggiungo un inglese non proprio immediato, la lettura diventa poco scorrevole e anche poco piacevole.

Voi cosa ne pensate?
