The discussion I stumbled upon, about this SSH app for Android, is really worrying. Will Google really manage to make it impossible to root your phone?

But there's more to this, it's more complicated. In the Big Picture, Google has every incentive to make these changes — they lead to more security, and they're aligned with Google's corporate goals as well.

• When talking to users, Google will emphasize control over hackers.
• When talking to stockholders, Google will emphasize control over users.

Edit: I disagree with "they lead to more security". That's not "security", let's not turn words upside-down.

I'm desperately looking for antonyms or somewhat opposites to "procedural". Checked on some antonym dictionaries but didn't find anything. More specifically it's about "procedural knowledge".

"Unplanned" or maybe "creative" could be some possibilities, but I wonder if something more appropriate could be found.

All possible suggestions greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Edit: Thanks everyone for the great suggestions! Together they led me to choose "exploratory" as somewhat opposite to "procedural". There's a huge variety of possibilities, but this one seems to fit my context well :)

Does anyone know of an open-source alternative to Google's "Messages" app, which takes care of SMS/text messages on my phone?

I was looking for open-source alternatives on PlayStore and F-Droid but can't really find anything – most apps seem to target some extra purpose than simply handling SMSs.

(Edit: I'd like to stay away from the "Simple Mobile Tools" line because I don't know if it's open source, and I don't like the way they promoted some apps – forcing users to update to pro and similar.)

Cheers!

I'm on Ubuntu 20.02, and have the older 102 version of Thunderbird installed from the http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/ppa/ubuntu ppa.

I wanted to install the new "supernova" – but not from snap or flatpack – so I downloaded the linux tarball from https://www.thunderbird.net/en-GB/thunderbird/all/ and followed the installation instructions.

As far as I can see I have all required libraries, but when I launch thunderbird it complains that

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /opt/thunderbird/libxul.so:
libXtst.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

I can't find any libXtst on apt, but I do have the latest libxtst6. So I don't understand the problem.

Anyone else has this problem and maybe a solution? Cheers!

Edit: I see that it's available on the beta ppa, but that's only for Ubuntu 22.02+. Probably I just have to wait until it's available in the stable ppa too...

I'm a member of the EFF, and its activities are great, but understandably have slightly more focus on USA-related matters. I say "but" just because I don't live in the USA.

Are there similar foundations that operate and focus/prioritize more on an international level? I don't manage to find any, but probably I'm doing the wrong kind of search.

Bayesian nonparametric methods include machine-learning and deep-learning methods as special cases, obtained by making quite coarse approximations to make the computation feasible. Using the fully fledged Bayesian method would give much more, but would take orders of magnitude more computational resources and time.

Papers like this, however, open up many more possibilities to use the full theory rather than approximations. I'm quite surprised to see that this paper is already four years old. I wonder if there's been any progress since then.

This is a beautiful combination of video and song.
