Which is what i adressed in the comment…

This is such an obviously dumb take its unbelievabe anyone would come up with it. Ofcourse the cops need to respond to a call of someone claiming to be assaulted/abused/murdered. There is no issue with this at all. The issue that CAN arise is that bad police training might lead to someone getting actually hurt in a raid like this. But thats an entirely different issue.

You are so revolutionary. Much edgy, very wow.

On debian when i mount an ftp server through my file browser it uses gvfs

This will mount it to /run/user/1000/gvfs/ftp:host=<IP>,port=<PORT>,user=<fpt-user>

Maybe i misunderstood what this site does but isnt the point of it that instead of directly pulling the RSS feed from youtube.com, you instead tell openrss.org to pull it from youtube.com and then forward the requested content to your rss reader? You wouldnt actually be directly talking to any google server like this.

It doesnt really worsen it no. I would assume its comparable to a VPN. Because all the requests for RSS feeds come from openrss.org, it is impossible for google to individually track users. Youtube still sees the total sum of all the channels being requested but openrss.org gets the per user specifics now.

You are not in a privacy-focused community

Privacy is not really an “option”, its a core human right and should be considered for every proposed software solution on the internet.

Doesnt this just outsource privacy to another website? Also youtube RSS links are all identical except for the last bit, and that is easy to get by for example opening the channel on any piped instance and copying the string at the end.

Here we go again

I use it. I like it. But i admit its fucking bloated to hell.

Maybe when you build some little application or whatever. When building the most used kernel in the world, there are probably some considerations that very few people can even try to understand.

Ah okay thats the one kind of device where there is nothing you can really do true.

Lots of laptops just use a removable m.2 wifi card. Have you considered replacing it with something thats properly supported? I know hardware costs money but not that much probably.

Gotta make space for dat AI stuff ya know. Cuz thats the future n shit.

I think that question can be answered by the recent horrible series of decisions by them. Mozilla really has been captured by the roots of enshittification at this point.

Afaik basically all CPUs do. Generally all hardware, if not artificially limited by withholding drivers, will perform better under linux.

Well its not gonna get any better by not supporting the companies that try to do better.

Is the current generation of street view still just snapshots from different positions with a 360° camera? I thought it was proper 3D scans with images mapped onto it by now. I admit i havent actually used it in years.

But yeah if its just isolated 2D images then its probably not as much as i thought. The processing would still be tough i think but i dont know enough to even guess that properly.

I think doing small scale demonstrations would be cool. The community would probably be able to learn and improve from it a lot and eventually it could be scaled up.

Even the internet archive is nothing in comparison to the image data used for street view.

Its of course totally “technically” possible, but it would require some veeery generous donations from some pretty rich people.

Even if you get people to use their phones to just record everything around them, geo-tag it and upload it. All that data would still have to be stitched together by some big ass GPU cluster that does things that currently only big tech companies can do properly at scale.

Gathering street view like data, processing it, running the service and keeping it up to date would require millions if not billions of dollars/euros in capturing equipment, server farms, wages, electricity, lawfirms.

If you want something thats compareable to the google service, its entirely impossible to do it with a project structure like osm has.

Even if someone had the funding to get started, they would most likely get bought out by google or apple or microsoft very quickly once they got comparable results.

Well put :)
