Ive heard the term "Cluster on a chip" which I guess would apply here too.

It probably made sense in 1983.

A side effect of enabling "privacy.resistFingerprinting" in Firefox (enabled by default in Tor Browser). is that it always prefers light mode.

I did build a arch Linux install using cat <<EOF, grep and sed. But golly it gets tedious

Australia's economy is pretty dependent on Coal, Aluminum and Gas. Two of these a hopefully going away soon but the Government is so In bed with mining and they throw more money at elections than every other sector put together that nothing will done about it until it collapses.

I worked on some of Spotlight's rollout of Zip. I can see why they would prefer that. Spotlight go to a lot of effort to make sure every expense is accounted for. Also given their enthusiasm for it they definitely negotiated a good deal for it. (interest rates on Zip can get higher than most CC's, its only worth it if you pay off in the interest free period).

It is too. (And Tencent, Epic, Blizzard, Valve, etc)

Also making a lot money off what is essentially a huge casino. (games that use Addictive Gambling Mechanics to sell Micro-transations)

In NSW you don't need a Medical reason to get AZ but you still need a GP note. I think... I can't find consistent information sources. But the advice is "Just get AZ if you dont have existing blood clotting issues". But how to actually get it is left as a exercise for the reader.

It's hard to tell exactly what went wrong. But it seems like the Government literally just didn't buy enough. There's not much Pfizer so only health workers and the elderly have been getting it. Then when we actually got AZ. It's rollout has been extremely slow. Then the Blood-clot risk came about AZ was restricted to 40+ only. Now anyone can ask for it, but you have to go get a note from a GP. It's very confusing.

tl;dr Effectively most people (in NSW at least) haven't been able to get a Vaccine until very recently, and there's weeks of waiting to get a booking.

If you want a case study of a bad vaccine rollout. Australia is a good bet.

I've installed a lot of operating systems on my machines. Installing macOS was by far the MOST painful.

> As much as I got a bit hyped to try using safari after WWDC - I just can't. It's so discombobulated regarding web standards that I wonder if it can even count as a "web browser" any more than emacs can.

With a bit of effort you can embedded chromium in Emacs so it's basically true.

Could coin it Reductio ad IErum

I supposed that's why they're writing drivers not crypto libraries. The sample in the article is Binder. Which is only needed for platforms Android supports. Which are all Tier 1 & 2 Rust targets. (As is MIPS too).

If you wrote a driver for HW that only appears on 1 or 2 CPU architectures then targeting is less of an issue. I would not be surprised if lots of drivers in Linux only work on x86 anyway.

Nautilus (Gnome's file browser) does this. It's new menu is populated with files from ~/Templates

He is the highest paid actor in Hollywood right now at a 87.5 million/yr. And yeah he seems like a real cool guy doing real fun titles.

Rust's proc-macro system makes it pretty easy to create some hard to compile code. but there's many ways to generate very slow compiling code with proc macros.

I think in Haskell you need to add:

    {-# LANGUAGE UndecidableInstances #-}

to get an Undecidable type system.

Yea. First Windows 8 RT ARM devices used UEFI + Secure Boot. I don't see why they would change the model.

I've used Synergy on both Windows->Windows and Windows->Mac. With a Macbook Pro 2015. It's really unpleasent due to constant stuttering, unless you connect to Ethernet. This is a known issue, it's appently due to airdrop. The OS switches the modem to a different channel to check for new devices or something, and then switches back. Although it does it fast enough to maintain network connections but anything real-time just looses control for a moment. Other wifi laptops seem fine. (Using same Wifi version)

I wonder how well I'd work with email based payids in Australia. Eg payto://payid/foo@example.com?bar=baz

They do have a bunch if you get it directly from them:

    /opt/firefox-nightly % ls *.so
    libfreeblpriv3.so   liblgpllibs.so    libmozavutil.so  libmozsandbox.so  libmozwayland.so  libnss3.so     libnssutil3.so  libplc4.so   libsmime3.so    libssl3.so
    libgraphitewasm.so  libmozavcodec.so  libmozgtk.so     libmozsqlite3.so  libnspr4.so       libnssckbi.so  liboggwasm.so   libplds4.so  libsoftokn3.so  libxul.so

It did give me some grief a few weeks ago when their libmozwayland broke and I had to LD_PRELOAD libwayland to get it working.

There indeed was a big scandal when FB did something like this with 2fa SMS numbers

Google has:

* Prompts. (Show a notification on a device)

* Phone Txt or voice

* Backup codes

* Authenticator App (ie TOTP)

* Security Key: Yubikey and the like. (You can use some Android phones as a Bluetooth security key)

I'd say google has more options than anyone else right now.

I use the MS store for MS software. But avoid Steam if I can as well as they also take a substantial cut (Although this does mean I still get a lot through steam).

Although they're more flexible, if a game sells you a CD-key outside the store (eg on Humble, through promotions, etc) they don't take a cut. Steam only gets it when it's through the Steam store.

Note that Australia fought the entire cigarette industry in multiple courts and won. I think they deal with tech companies. As long as they don't send any Emus.

Which is explicitly mentioned in the OP

> ...that app developers be allowed to provide consumers with information about alternative payment options...

It seems like it's ready to go in mailine. Linux doesn't really do "Big-bang" Everything is done releases of new features. Support is added incrementally. Here it says USB, PCIe, IOMMU, NVMe. Haven't been finished. But given those features are spread occross difference subsystems and have different maintainers it'll be easier to work on those once the platform is in Mainline. (You won't be able to expect all the PCIe developers to have the special M1 mac branch ready for testing)

Yes. Take a JPEG with extension. It opens fine. Get a file with .jfif macOS doesn't know what the hell it is. Same file format, weird extension. (For some reason twitter was saving files as .jfif for a while)

Also pretty sure Ubuntu keeps a few old versions of Linux. And GRUB uses it's own ZFS module.
