Generally yes, but keep in mind that apt packages are maintained by canonical, while snap packages could be maintained by canonical, the apps' original developers themselves (e.g. Firefox snap is maintained by Mozilla), or a 3rd party unrelated to canonical or the app's developer (i.e. random dudes packaging apps into snap and submit them). If the snap packages are not maintained by canonical, there is nothing stopping the snap packagers to use a different versioning scheme, though it's unlikely. In general, it's a good idea to check the package entry on snapcraft.io to figure out who packaged them so you can decide if it's trustworthy or not.

Due to how federation works, downvotes are actually somewhat public because instance owners can query them in lemmy database, though instance owners probably won't tell you if you ask due to privacy reason. If you're interested in something like this, you can run your own instance.

Lemmy is getting bigger now, and you can see the quality of discussions in large Lemmy communities take a hit lately. If you want quality discussion, go to smaller communities.

Do they really apply subsidies to exported cars though? 20k is about the same price as comparable Japanese mini EVs like Nissan Sakura. If the exported seagull were subsidized, surely it should be even cheaper than that?

People usually use flipper zero (banned in Canada) to play with these kind of stuff. Not sure if this exploit can be implemented in flipper zero though.

Used Tesla battery is actually in demand though. Is the exploit is accessible enough, eventually thieves would target it to sell the battery in the used market for electric car conversion kits, solar power storage kits, etc.

Ah sorry, I got it backward. Nvidia is dragging their asses on implementing "implicit" sync, so Wayland devs and nvidia ended up with a compromise and implemented the explicit sync protocol. IMO it's just another example of Nvidia doing whatever they please and forcing everyone to do it their way or highway.

Unlike AMD and Intel, they don't get along with the open source community well and generally do whatever they please, which is why they earned the ire of many linux developers. For example, they're really dragging their asses with implementing explicit sync.

Scams are not much affected by cryptocurrency existence, but ransomware existence specifically relies on crypto for scaling reason. They infect millions of computers, the ransoms are being handled automatically because it's way too much to be handled manually with gift cards.

The internet has far more beneficial uses than malicious uses. We currently can't say the same with cryptocurrency due to its diminishing utility.

E-commerce platforms were never the target anyway

What's the use of money if not for paying stuff? In the early days, a lot more shops (online and offline) accept crypto payments. These days it's mostly vpn companies that accept them.

Let's not forget that crypto also enable wide deployment of ransomwares (which was not possible due to the lack of untraceable online payment at scale), while less and less ecommerce platform allow crypto payment. If this trend continues, eventually no one would use crypto except for speculation and paying off ransom.

The people with appropriate skills must have the tv (it's not cheap) and actually interested in jailbreaking them. So far noone has done so.
