USB GOOD

It’s more than that honestly, or less, depending on the perspective. Most people share their data with “only our 900 bestliest partners” or more everyday. Every tweet, login, whatever metadata can be more valuable and easier to compute than voice or video, depending on what you are looking for.

My favorites are 2 and 3, I replay them both occasionally. 4 was OK. 5 was garbage. Haven’t played 6.

• FC2 because of the kind of “horror” element being thrown into a oppressive and immersive open world.
• FC3 because of the gameplay overhaul and the brilliant storytelling.

Almost overengineered for a meme if you zoom in.

At least Orca Slicer works fine for me in Wayland.

Screen sharing is a great example. I used to have issues with it, but since about a year I’m able to share my screen in the MS teams PWA in Firefox and even the Discord flatpak without a hassle.

Do you have some examples? Most things I (and others) do are in the category “showing a desktop”, multiple desktops with different resolution / scaling / refresh rate, maybe opening a virtual monitor using krfb.

Wayland has been a complete game changer for me regarding performance and reliability (as soon as it hit a certain stability lol).

You’re absolutely right! Here is a recommendation for companies to invest in that produce fake eyelashes for car headlights:

In Signal, push notifications simply act as a ping that tells the app to wake up.

Google only pings your phone via FCM, the Signal App then polls the message itself.

Edit: oops, you meant the pop-up. You can disable them from showing the message.

Those are rookie numbers

There is obviously a lot to unpack here, most of it is just plain gibberish. The best option is, as always, to ask him directly.

Pro: Fresh white bread can be very delicious. It is soft and fluffy, and depending on the freshness even still warm, which are all really nice things to be associated with imho. It is also versatile, as it can be crafted to e.g. a list of delicious sandwiches. White bread can be interpreted as a clean slate, a starting point for a lot of great things to happen. The focus on the whiteness of the bread may be in remembrance to a time when paleness was a female beauty standard.

Contra: White bread is considered as bland, tasteless and boring by some, depending where in the world you live. White bread is the most consumed type of bread in the western world, possibly implying you are a little to mainstream, your personality is too adapted and not sophisticated enough for him. I have heard awful things about american white bread (e.g. has a lot of sugar in it), but a traditional german white bread on the other hand can be very delicious. It is not the healthiest choice of breads, but not a lot of wheat products are. If I’m not mistaken, it could also be a slur for people with a light skin tone.

This is a great summary. Also, see the GrapheneOS teams list of hardware prequisites. They have said themselves before that this is not a very high bar, but that there are just no other manufacturers focusing on security. Apple claim they do, and get recommended as second best option in the forums sometimes, but given the walled garden approach, it must be next to impossible to develop against, even if they unexpectedly completely open up their ecosystem.

They would probably also have to take a lot of criticism for their implementation approaches and their brand integrity would suffer immensely. Maybe there would even be some new undisclosed vulnerabilities to fix, like the goto fail bug breaking SSL encryption ten years ago.

Compare it to the new open source Nvidia drivers for Linux, they have taken quite a while to develop since Nvidia announced the release, and I don’t know if they have yet reached the performance levels of the proprietary ones. Doing this for a whole Phone, given they even fulfil the requirements hardwarewise, will probably take a decade. And in this decade, ten new iPhones will be released…

This was meant more as an utopian wish statement of well standardized and interconnected ecosystems instead of trying to teach anyone how to use their phone lol. I’m well aware that we’re moving into the other direction sadly and I also hate that I have to use apps for what should have been a website in the first place.

I’m not really affected by this and can’t say much about the existing needs beyond what iOS and Android are offering on the OS level though. I totally understand that a website is a much better starting point for this if you’re starting from scratch, given a responsive implementation approach and no DRM and obfuscation measures applied.

I’ve heard maintainers getting spammed with AI generated Issues and stuff. This is just a stupid meme from some weeks ago, trying to merge some Anime ASCII Art into the Kernal Panic log message, because the kernel should be more weeb-friendly.

You’re right, Linux Kernel development happens on an own cgit instance. Given how much Linus loves distraction, he’d be better off by not looking into Github at all.

Most accessibility options are already baked into the OS. There should be no need to configure anything related inside the App. You’d have to implement responsive design though, which is not only an accessibility problem but should be common sense by now.

You are right, but I highly doubt that he cares enough considering the quote I posted earlier. He probably also has a shitload of staff around him telling him what to do, whose life also depend on him complying.

Also, Musk bought Twitter to influence the outcome of elections, not for being a petty child that doesn’t want to be insulted online. Well, maybe, but that’s not the whole story here.

He wrote it in a book (or his writer lol), shortly before he got elected, about a year ago. Look for “Trump Zuckerberg jail threat”, I don’t know which source to cite here.

I mean, what is he supposed to do. The orange man threatened to put Zuckerberg in jail for the rest of his life if he doesn’t comply. I have not very much hope left for the upcoming testimonies regarding Steam, Twitch, Discord and Reddit.

Also e.g. the lobbying around ACPI breaking suspend to ram sometimes. Funny little Bill Gates quote on that:

One thing I find myself wondering about is whether we shouldn’t try and make the “ACPI” extensions somehow Windows specific. It seems unfortunate if we do this work and get our partners to do the work and the result is that Linux works great without having to do the work. Maybe there is no way to avoid this problem but it does bother me. Maybe we could define the APIs so that they work well with NT and not the others even if they are open. Or maybe we could patent something related to this.

Now that I think about it, that has been one of my two blanket explanations for rich people being assholes.

The other one being the mix-up of correlation and causation (or even just the direction of causation). Money arguably does make you a worse person, but also being a bad person usually can make you a lot of money in the first place.
