Depends on your work. I agree with you, but for example my work is different.
Yes, we have managed devices as well, but my department specifically went for unmanaged devices. Just plain old laptops. Install whatever OS you want, do whatever you want. I only have the base windows install on there for some compatibility reasons, I mostly just use PopOS.
And we're also explicitly allowed to browse private content - as long as the work gets done and we stay in budget, do whatever.
I usually hate subscriptions that try to squeeze you for money.
In the case of sync, I see it as a recurring donation for LJ. 15 bucks is what I make in like 20 minutes as an engineer myself, so 'paying' 20 minutes of my salary to a developer of such an awesome app is no problem for me.
Also subscribed, not because I need the features but just to support this awesome app
Wow. Awesome. I feel so at home!
Thanks for the enlightening comment! I see you know way more about this than I do, so, guy who I replied to originally, listen to this guy and not me.
I didn't go far down into the scientific material concerning this, so it seems I was quite misinformed.
No, computing (as in general computing) will barely be affected. Computing uses semiconductors, which this (AFAIK) isn't. Switching losses always occur unless you switch instantly, which is impossible. Most of the heat of cpus comes from there.
Specialized things like quantum computing are a different story.
What this superconductor could mean though: you could have a relatively thin cable from say, the Sahara to Europe, that can losslessly transfer energy. No losses whatsoever. So you can produce energy wherever energy is present, and use it where energy is required!
If you lost all your devices right now, what files would you miss? That's what you should back up.
Ah yes, using 'obese' is apparently offensive now.
As someone not in those circles that just stumbled upon this post in all:
You look 'different' obviously, as you yourself know. That's going to get some reactions from some people - you can't really help that. That's fine, be yourself.
Other than that, don't make your whole identity that you are who you are. What I mean by that is - don't base your daily actions, what you do, what you always talk about, the friends you make solely on the fact that you are a transman. Just be a normal, decent human being - and I think you'll find a lot more 'general acceptance'.
Then again, just my 2 cents as an outsider, this is just my opinion and as I've obviously never had to go through this myself I have no idea if this works or not.
I'd also be very interested. There's an m3u playlist you can find very easily on GitHub but that one barely works, stuttering or endlessly buffering most of the time
At that point, it's not FOSS, just OSS. Free means that it also uses a license that is 'Free' - as RMS would put it 'libre'. So -, you can - under stipulations, do whatever you want with the Source code.
Of course they can. That's why I usually use my phone as a hot spot when I'm browsing private stuff ;)
