He’s posting on Truth Social again, sadly.

The USA encourages young people to do that by keeping them in poverty and ignorance. So it’s kind of voluntary but not exactly freely chosen.

It’s possible that the kernel and core components are still robust, having been developed in a time when engineering standards were higher. As far as I know, the kernel is still basically Dave Cutler’s NT kernel, adapted by his team to 64-bit in the early 2000s, and his stuff was always well reputed for stability, though other teams were producing unstable code.

The problems of Windows today always seem to trace back to the early 2010s when Satya Nadella took over and nuked the QA and testing team. That’s borne out by what we learn from the current article series, which describes how those test engineers who weren’t fired were parachuted into roles they often weren’t prepared for. And in Windows this seems to have led to a culture of hasty, undertested patches, shoved out to users and re-patched when users report problems, but not before. Also, again borne out by this article, a managerial culture of pressuring devs to add new features (that users don’t even care about) instead of solidifying what’s already there. You end up with demoralized devs and a teetering tower of technical debt growing ever higher.

If the core of the OS is robust but everything on top of it is flaky, then the user experience is still going to be of an unreliable OS.

It was chosen by Netanyahu, who has been pushing for it for a long time. Trump’s people are just the first US administration stupid enough to agree to do it without realizing what he’s getting them into.

“I would like to hear how you would explain to my children what you’re supposed to be.”

I’m pretty sure his children are already familiar with the notion of an adult being a massive dick.

Guy who has asked to allocate trillions of dollars to a voluntary and unnecessary war against a country that was no threat, achieving nothing but killing thousands of innocent people and tanking the world economy while destroying US global power.

Also, guy who wants us to forget he rapes children.

Several L.A. hospice and healthcare providers were raided by federal authorities early Thursday morning.

The crackdown on the city resulted in eight arrests and the suspension of 221 facilities over 10 weeks, officials said.

So raiding and shutting down healthcare facilities in Democratic states is the new distraction from the USA losing its own war in Iran and destroying the world’s economy, which was the distraction from Trump raping children?

When was the last time the Republicans did anything actually good and helpful?

Unfortunately it’s also critical for MRIs.

No, thanks for the tip. I’ll try that.

Edit: It worked! Disabling exploit protections got my bank’s app working. Thanks again.

The “advanced flow” with a one-day wait is just Google realizing they need to boil this frog a little more slowly to prevent a backlash. They still want a fully boiled frog in the end.

Mine refuse to run in GrapheneOS. Everything runs except my banks’ apps and eBay. It’s a slight inconvenience but the tradeoff has been worth it.

Edit: Thanks to NewOldGuard@lemmy.ml I got my bank’s app working under GrapheneOS.

I’ve been using NewPipe without problems. Is it supposed to have gone away?

We need development of Linux OSs for phones to ramp up. And we need Linux distributors and backers to fight back against “age verification” laws that are actually ID verification laws. There’s a global attack underway on multiple fronts against free software, private computing, and user ownership and control of devices.

In the meantime, for a stopgap, there’s GrapheneOS, but that doesn’t fix the problem of developers having to choose between Google’s way or unpaid obscurity.

I’d rather weed out the assholes.

From the article:

Google says it’s removing XSLT to address security vulnerabilities. The underlying library that processes XSLT in Chrome (libxslt) is an aging C/C++ codebase with known memory safety issues. Chrome’s team argues that because only about 0.02% of page loads use XSLT, it’s not worth the maintenance burden.

It’s debatable whether Google, with all its resources, really needs to do this, especially given that 0.02% of all page loads is still quite a lot. But there are certainly times when it’s better to just delete seldom-used old code from your project to lower the maintenance burden and reduce the surface area for attacks.

Previously they would have had to encounter a person who wanted to manipulate them. Now there’s a widely marketed technology that will reliably chew these vulnerable people up.

Worked fine for me, but I block ads and trackers on my home network so that probably helped.

I doubt it.
