expressing oneself != forcing ones opinion on another

It's called having values

Thanks KHTML and the KDE Project!

the competitive advantage in the IBM XT economy

only on some operating systems.

who would've thought that the 'worst case scenario' we predicted keeps happening with this tool they recklessly shove into everything

GTA 6 isn't going to release on PC for a while. Consoles are still dependent on other services that aren't affected by this legislation anyway...

"most European legal systems" implies more than one system, they're most likely referring to the "European Union" and not the geographical continent of Europe, which the UK is not a part of anymore

Should have done it sooner. He took his time. He should know timing is important: That's why he frequently skips getting approval for his construction work, dumps drilling fluids (while feigning compliance!)... or builds an illegal power plant. He usually seems to have little patience.

We're all supposed to play by the same rules.

inflating the numbers on revenue is pretty easy. it's why the phrase 'revenue is vanity, profit is sanity' exists. these companies have already done it (cloud partner billings), are still doing it. how much of that is consumer spending? presumably very little, it's why they want to integrate into _existing services_ (like healthcare apps) with already existing users. it can't stand on its own. case in point: Sora

> After a splashy launch, Sora’s worldwide user count peaked at around a million and then collapsed to fewer than 500,000. Meanwhile, the app was burning through roughly $1 million every day — not because people loved it but because video generation is so costly to run.

tell me more about how all this revenue makes up for their lack of profit. economics 101.

Given how Search-Engine-Optimisation (SEO) has been gamed, what will make you think that somehow this NEW system, that's really prone to prompt hacking & already promotes sponsors' products over alternatives, won't be?

the web, which also gets referred to as decentralized, suffers from the same proof problem. we have identity tied largely to dns. web sites can claim whatever. somewhere a line was drawn to indicate what matters most is creating something without a single point of failure?

there have been claims as part of a recent lawsuit, which also influences peoples thinking

historic posts from the known network and (sometimes media, instance setting) are cached on your own instance in ActivityPub. interactions travel across the known network graph. if an instance vanished forever, overnight, there is at least an imprint of it across the network, albeit instance specific. that may be by design, there are jurisdictions that have people complying with laws and things. not sure how the ecosystems you mention deal with that in particular

Truth is if mastodon.social gets ddosd the same as Bluesky I can still use the rest of the network fine. Proof is in the pudding. tons of instances that make up the fabric of redundancy. I think most people would be served better if Bluesky acted differently early with their rollout in a sharded manner?

it's called deception, yeah

Thank you for signaling you had no idea this was happening. I wouldn't make such a thing up, if that's what you're asking. If you have no idea this happened that's one thing - but I am telling you the truth in saying that is what I saw.

You might also want to evaluate what kind of people are attracted by your image. Your actions have spoken far louder than any accusations I have made here. Hint.

> it's easy to make unfalsifiable "There's probably archives" b.s. claims on HN.

The grapevine literally called them (not my words) "brave shill threads". Companies have been scraping the text based web for decades. Of course there's archives. They may not necessarily be indexed by search engines.

Same way the dude solved Roadster, full self driving etc.

> From a practical standpoint, any PS3 remains a reliable and accurate way to play PS1 titles today.

> Every PS3 includes a mature software emulator for PS1 titles that runs PS1 discs with near-perfect reliability. [... Then the article repeat the first quote itself ]

I would not deem that overly confident statement to be all that accurate. Several important titles do not run on _any_ PS3 from the PS1 library. None of the original Tomb Raider discs or their variants work despite the first 4 being in the Top 20 best-selling games on that system. And games like Blaster Master Returns have graphical issues that make them difficult if not impossible to play. You can either use community patches to fix your own discs (on a modded system only, of course) or buy the PSN versions as they're hacked to run better on Sony's emulators. But when it comes to actually emulating the original system, running the discs you already own - you might be disappointed...

The maker of the provocative "Linux sucks" series is a bit of a troll. He's made videos on technical projects he doesn't understand (or care about) and just mocks them if they don't gel with him. As far as I can tell he doesn't really care, or if he thinks he does - his actions aren't translating well.

How do I know? As a FOSS developer myself with a decade plus public history I also happen to know a few people running prominent FOSS projects.

He's burned bridges for no good reason. He doesn't care.

Just like IRC. Except 1 giant server, 1 owner logging everything. Don't ask how it sustains itself though. It still doesn't. People let their guard down in such lax environments and many even run their entire business comms on an unencrypted app as a result too. People should know better.

In a lot of ways, this is a major regression as far as security and redundancy is concerned.

There's also the good old saying: Don't build your castle in somebody else's Kingdom. Bot developers definitely learned that recently. I don't have a lot of pity for bot developers though as many are truly, in fact, scraping data and doing other undocumented things with it (Spy Pet wasn't and won't be the only one). All I'm going to say on the matter!

If you were wondering how The Economist felt about driver-less cars, they seem way more optimistic than trains.

There is work underway to replace those bad ones! When the IA is back up, you can find some uploaded here: https://archive.org/details/@davidga

There's been several people in the archive community identifying and pointing them out, digging through large tape collections as well of syndications of it. David however got to go through the original masters recently

If only TechTV had such an archive

Worse things have already happened to Linux. How dare them all!!!

Please do not give up your biometric information up that easily. They're salespeople.

I think if it was easy for them to improve critical projects like ffmpeg, we'd have seen some patches that mattered already. The only activity I've seen is LLMs being used to farm sec-ops bounties which get rejected because of poor quality.
