There is an easy fix here:

Require mergers to refund customers impacted as part of the merger.

Honestly surprised Opera and Mozilla don't strike again together

Google’s CEO faces employee questions about layoffs — “Why has there been such an extraordinary effort to limit the internal visibility of layoffs announcements?” (www.theverge.com)

Google’s CEO faces employee questions about layoffs — “Why has there been such an extraordinary effort to limit the internal visibility of layoffs announcements?”::During a recent TGIF all-hands meeting, Google CEO Sundar Pichai addressed what sources describe as a growing morale crisis inside the company.

bitwolf ,

It's likely that their bonuses are based on share price and the layoffs pumped them.

Same for every company following their playbook, including mine.

He's wrong all of this works on Wayland.

I used a 3080 on Wayland and the only thing that didn't work was night light (red tint mode).
At this time nvidia-open was marked as not viable for desktop. In 6.7 noveau has gsp support so the open source path has improved rapidly.

It was shortly after their hack that they announced partnership with RedHat / Canonical devs to make their graphics driver better. It's going to have a similar arch to how the AMD drive is under the name nvidia-open. However the proprietary driver does work on Wayland at this point in time.

bitwolf ,

It didn't at the time on Nvidia specifically. It has since been resolved.

Night mode works great on all three now, Intel, Nvidia, and AMD.

Pretty much everything works on Wayland in general at this point.

bitwolf ,

No, redshift is an xorg application. It likely will become obsolete.

Night mode is in the compositor now.

I cancelled Amazon prime a few years ago.
Amazon was never able to honor the next day or even two day shipping so I cancelled.

Technically, for me, there was no change in shipping speed for me cancelling prime

It's not my favorite option. But at least use Discourse.

bitwolf ,

If Twitter succeeds in becoming a super app. Wouldn't they then become a "platform" in EU terms? Thus requiring them to interoperate?

Apparently it took so much time and effort to make high DPI print nozzles that it's much more attractive for a company to go and make a 3d printer rather than battle it out in a dying market that's remained a stable distribution of HP, Brother and Epson (and partially Canon).

bitwolf ,

That's another problem.
So few will vote with their wallets because they're so addicted to the game they'll just deal with it.

bitwolf ,

Gittea, codeberg, Self-Hosted gog, src.ht.... have I missed any?

bitwolf ,

Webassmely is still an option. Iirc Photoshop uses this for it's web version and it seems to work very well

bitwolf ,

Literally same. My entire life has been striving to build a life where I don't need a car. (mainly out of frustration with NJ's toxic surcharge program).

Sadly, no one in NY was hiring and my dumbass moved to Austin.
Now my drive is to get back to NY where there actually is a hope of using public transit.

My mother, an asthmatic, jokes that Air is already a subscription service 🙂

The cookie blockers automatically decline cookie consent with the minimum possible cookies.

If your site is GDPR compliant it must respect the consent triggers by the extension as the consent is identical to if a human user correctly filled out the cookie form to acknowledge only the minimum required cookies.

CNN in the OP is just gaslighting the user here.

bitwolf ,

It really can't.
If you spoof the user agent it'll crash immediately after a call starts.

I suspect they use something extra on top of normal WebRTC.

bitwolf ,

It crashes right after a call starts.

Everything else works fine though.

bitwolf ,

I think this is more a push towards tightly couplings with Edge.

bitwolf ,

Will you're almost free from that. I saw 6.7 uses the GSP firmware, so if you have a newer Turing card noveou (can never spell it) will be able to run games.

bitwolf ,

The LG G12 used a Tegra but stopped getting updates very quickly.

bitwolf ,

Here's an example I can see happening.

Threads will want to implement post reactions to maintain parity with Facebook.
Threads expands the ActivityPub spec to include reactions.

Now, every other instance will not be compatible with reactions. Users complain they cannot see reactions.

Admins have two choices now:

  • Refuse to implement reactions because they are not part of the spec. Users leave and join threads.

  • ActivityPub adds reactions to the standard, all instances must now support reactions. Meta has now started dictating the spec.

I feel the XMP fears do have some sentiment, and it's really a matter of how the broad username interprets these issues (including the Thread users which would be family and friends).

bitwolf ,

Ah, so kind of like how one would filter out unwanted messages on a Kafka topic?
Makes sense

bitwolf ,

I find it extremely funny that YouTube serving ads also strains the same video infrastructure they're trying to increase revenue on.

bitwolf ,

I feel the same about SMS auth. Considering many services block voip and Google Voice, it's impossible to use the broad majority of web services without a cellphone.

bitwolf ,

Hey at least you picked a great distro to settle on!

Imo the biggest bump is from mp3 to lossless.
The drums sound more organic on flacs whereas on most mp3s they sound like a computer MIDI sound.

The biggest bump for me was the change in headphones. It made my really old aac 256kbps music sound bad.

bitwolf ,

I'm sticking out with IPS until MicroLED matures enough for me to afford.

OLED was never designed to be used as a computer monitor and I don't want a monitor that only lasts a couple years.

Researchers just designed a special two layer (thicker than current OLED) that doubles the lifespan to 10,000hours at 50% brightness without degrading.

I'm totally with you on good HDR though. When it works, it's as night -and-day as 60 -> 144hz felt for me.

bitwolf ,

It doesn't only last for two years, however it begins to degrade after one year of illuminating blue. This would reduce the color accuracy.

However OLEDs are also very bad at color accuracy across it's brightness range. Typically at lower brightness their accuracy goes out the window.

This isn't as bad on smart phones ( smart phones also apply additional mitigations such as subpixel rotation) however desktop computers typically display static images for much longer and so not use these mitigations afaik.

bitwolf ,

I tried Kavita but it didn't have the features I needed.
I ended up just throwing them on Nextcloud and using Nextcloud sync onto my reader (Box Air 3c)

bitwolf ,

Surely the battery itself would have sufficient protection on top of the devices chassis offering protection.

I can't say a Lithium Ion battery leaking in the body would bode very either.
