Enlighten me pls

DVD and especially blue ray still have DRM and license terms, which . means you still don’t own it. Only way to own media is to pirate it

Mah, they should slop the photo with AI and say they did it

No guarantee it won’t involve another person stepping up against trump, seizing power and then holding onto it. Usually that’s how that happens

Even if the government is funded by money printed by the central bank, it would still be funded with “your money”. Every dollar printed dilutes your money by that same amount, ie it’s like a much more subtle tax that doesn’t follow any of the principles of proportionality, everyone pays the same (except those with little to no liquidity and everything invested, so it’s really a tax on the poor through inflation)

Eh, on something as customizable as Linux where the solution to problems can often be “run this line in the terminal”, I do believe that a new user can mess up their configuration. I remember Linus from LTT having to deal with a few problems while doing the challenge.

It’s certainly also the fact that everything you need is already there out of the box, no need for tinkering to get the GPU drivers installed.

The two things are probably both true

With the Guano Act the US “acquired” lots of islands all over the world. Choose one of those bird shit covered rocks and put him on there

sanctioned region

What’s that?

Opera mini was also great when I had very little MBs of internet traffic in my plan. Nowadays I have pretty much infinite traffic, so I haven’t used it in ages

A fediverse app to empower coops and smaller taxi companies and allow them to reach users could actually be a pretty good idea and a great way to reduce Uber’s power

Wait, is Microsoft using Google’s copyrighted work on their page without authorization? This is going to get pulled so fast they’re gonna get whiplash.

Ever heard of the internet bubble?

Here goes to hoping that EU massages Whatsapp third party compatibility actually works. It would be great if Signal decided to enter the program, so that I could start recommending it to friends and family as a full on replacement, while not losing the ability to communicate with those who use WhatsApp.

I understand Signal stance, but it would honestly be better to have a mainstream alternative to Whatsapp that actually cares about privacy, rather than a niche product nobody uses

If I were CEO, I’d cut/sell any part of the business that doesn’t directly support CPU and GPU sales, which is basically what Intel is doing.

That’s pretty much what they did. They sold off most of the “other” stuff, like their modem division, shut down their SSD division, sold part of Mobileye shares in the IPO, and reportedly Intel is looking to sell part of Altera, their FPGA division.

The mac I plug into my work center via a single usb-c connection which charges it, connects it to my external monitor, and connects it to all of my USB equipment

I do this with my Dell, which also has many ports ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EoL of anything should mean open source code. You don’t want to open source your code? Then you must keep servicing your products and must keep your servers up

Regardless of the legality of the action or the product itself, a video reviewing, showing or reporting on it shouldn’t be passable of a copyright claim.

Even if the video shows copyrighted material, it still shouldn’t be allowed for Nintendo to claim it, as that would fall under fair use. Just showing a few screenshots of a video game for the purposes of education in an otherwise unrelated video would never fall under copyright infringement.

The piracy argument has nothing to do with Nintendo claiming a video as their own, despite them having no rights to do so.

We truly live in the future

This looks like a weird version of a cold world era map, blue being US and allies, red USSR and allies and yellow non aligned countries. A little bit weird in Africa and south America, but we’re mostly there

There was once a term used for this, first world (US and allies) second world (USSR and allies) and third world (neutral-ish nations)
