hypothesis

Sorry, I should’ve worded it better.

I’m waiting for fixes to Software center, so that there are no visible side effects after masking fwupd. I do know this was addressed in or before Fedora 37, but is an issue in current Debian stable.

The only time I saw fwupd itself working is when it attempted to update uefi firmware in my VM :)

I’m afraid that we will be drowning in synthetic blog posts. Same goes for comments section…

It’s funny how people find it necessary to participate in in-group/out-group dynamics/politics at work, long past high school.

What if one could get paid for doing a job without any of that by skipping “socialize at work” altogether?

> Sam Bankman-Fraud is unique because he somehow managed to ensnare a good portion of those higher-ups in his scheme

I wonder if that started as “just send donations to mainstream political parties”…

I feel like it was a missed opportunity for BigCo to showcase their in-house AI by providing chat support for said laid off people.

Chances are high that lots of people here are in fact working for said companies, delivering data collection tools, so there is that…

On the bright side, you can finally mask it in latest Fedora without Software store going haywire and spamming you with useless error messages about it being unavailable.

Still waiting for that to arrive in next Debian…

I’m sure it’s useful to Dell users, but not much to anyone with DIY setups.

Welcome to modern day Thanos finger snapping!

Which can be promptly rehired for even less money? Or did they also froze hiring completely?

Unless you get yourself a “desktop” Ryzen that is just a rebranded APU with graphics parts shutoff, e.g Ryzen 5500.

Admittedly, AMD does list ECC as unsupported on that one, but most motherboard vendors will only warn you about APUs not supporting ECC RAM.

>Google would also be forced to allow access to the Play Store on Android “forks,” heavily customized versions of the platform.

I wonder how such requirements would affect certain apps, say banking apps, that need hw attestation or similar things.

Seems like a standard git thing: have a process that works in a specific, but not a “helpful” way and also have a undiscoverable setting to configure said process.

Is that why people keep building UIs and wrappers for git?

Is this unique to Proton? There seems like quite a few game managers on Linux nowadays, none require knowing much of Wine.

I think it’s “magic” in same sense that, say, Ubuntu used to be in the beginning. There were other distros too, but none did mix it all together for easy of use/polish. So ignore the hype and enjoy benefits to the ecosystem.

I was under impression that he did take it private and it is no longer publicly traded.

Also, how does this change “users cost money” issue? Does not private company need to pay bills? Unless you mean that he’s now free to bail company out using his income from elsewhere…

Now imagine that you saw a presentation couple years back with all the nice features that smart people packed in… and here is what it came to, parlor games basically.

Maybe a nimbler PR approach would help, but then we know that standards like websql are shutdown over nothing, even though sqlite eating the world alive…

Sad joke was that they are waiting for an “alternative implementation”, yet I’m still shocked that Mozilla people are alluding to that elsewhere in this very thread. Unbelievable…

My bad, I glanced at “compiling” page and assumed c++ for some reason.

On one hand numbers do not mean much, but I think that releasing a 1.0 version of official library would at least help with morale and signal some completeness.

I’m sure there are reasons making fresh 0.x releases even after creating a standard format, but it was a bit disappointing after years of waiting, even before this blow by certain browser maker.

This is a valid argument, but which of the contenders are using Rust or similar security minded languages?

WebP appears to be written in C++, perhaps because underlying video codec is also written in C++…

I might be incorrect here, but I thought that AVIF is using same/similar container format as MP4/HEIF. Is there clarity on patent situation for container formats?

Wikipedia article briefly mentions patents for HEIF and it does not inspire much confidence there.

Current wisdom is that company exists to make money and everything is optimized for that. What if workers are fully onboard and working hard for next promotion? For products that are not money making machines like the ad biz, let them wither and start a new every couple years?

Why would you pay for a static IPv6 address? It’s harder to memorize and if you’re using dynamic dns, then not much point in a static IP, is there?

There is some truth to what you're saying, but why should one not be rewarded for doing things in less time than it would take in office? Is it not a literal advantage?

> Put a "property of US government" sticker on your phone.

How does it work when say passing airport security check? Does it mean that you voluntarily surrendered your property to govt and they get to see everything on that phone or do they bust one for lying to feds? Maybe remove US part to weasel out? :)

That’s assuming that the goal is to make search better and not say make more money.

> A government entity should not be a using tax payer money to purchase privacy sensitive data of citizens.

Nothing nefarious going on here, right? It's not like they are bypassing constitution here and checking if one visited place of worship, are they?

It's readable now. Thank you for addressing the issue!

Also I feel like mobile view would be in usable state if one could just collapse that side panel on left side. But desktop view is quite functional for now.

> which should work if you’re not logged in

It doesn't. That page has all sort of placeholder elements on it and Signup/Login buttons instead of what I assume would be a room view.

Try using incognito mode yourself.

I think Fedora is supported for ~13 month [0]. At least I have no issues updating every other release once a year.
