I want it banned. Then I want to see all the MPs who have continued to use it these past years figure out where they’re going to get their “engagement” from now.

Thankfully no microsoft, but I do have to use google workspace.

at least i can sandbox it to a web browser? small wins…

The drivers run OK, but because they were not built for my distribution with the right flag, when I sleep and resume my system, I need to log out and back in to the desktop or else it bugs out.

Is this the drivers fault for not having that be a default flag? The maintainers fault for not using the correct flags? Waylands fault for not interfacing with the driver right on resume? My fault for having the audacity to want to use the sleep function?

I have no clue, but it doesn’t happen with the open source nouevau drivers, so I’m inclined to place a fair bit of the blame with nvidia.

It’ll be cancelled before it even launches

This is Goth Witch, from his side series.

A website generator built by a human still gave a human the chance to make some choices, feel useful, validate it worked right, possibly even an income.

If there are no dangerous predators, then there is no problem voting third party

No, the better solution is to add more black bars to the side so that it fits on to a wide screen.

Oh, look at that pretty twinkling shooting sta- oh shit, that’s another one of elon musk’s pointless billionaire space toys. I can’t even relax by just looking at the stars anymore.

I like this as a replacement for the Winnie the Pooh tuxedo image macro

You know what? Do it. I want one of these guys to actually built one of these mega data centres. If we’re going to ruin the environment anyway, we might as well encourage the billionaires to bankrupt themselves at the same time.

The article is saying the petition is targeting steam, but the actual linked petition is addressing credit card companies. The text of the petition doesn’t mention steam or valve. I don’t know what the author of the article thinks is happening here, and they’ve explained it very badly.

My point was that brave’s solution, like Signal’s, is dependent on microsoft playing fair. If microsoft decides they don’t want brave, signal, or anyone else using DRM to interfere with their screen scraping chatbot, there is not going to be an easy way to fix it.

They haven’t blocked the windows feature, they’re using DRM to interfere with it. Microsoft could easily change how the DRM works any time they want, rendering all these hacks useless.

I take issue with this article using the language “lagging behind in the use of generative AI”. That language seems to imply there is something wrong in this behaviour.

Good idea - if you also cap car speeds at 15mph

Netflix’s short stint with FMV / chooe-your-own adventure games highlights a perfect case of difficult preservation - all the runtimes are closed source apps, all the data is streamed from a server, and all the logic is held on the server.

In theory (big caveat) with enough time, effort, and determination you could reverse engineer your way around even the worst Denuvo has to throw. For simple streamed content like images and sound you can always analog-hole your way around preserving content.

But for anything where the key thing you want to preserve, like logic, that depends entirely on a server somewhere existing, that’s a problem.

Honestly, “country of origin” will have straight lines drawn on a map that are so far removed from where the people who lived there originally considered their borders even that’s probably not pinning it down well enough.

This is why you keep a several hundred megabytes history file set to remember “forever”
