This is why you should always selfhost your AI girlfriend.

Dropping support after only 25 years? I can't believe Linux is contributing to planned obsolescence.

Smaller communities aren't necessarily a bad thing. Compared to reddit I rarely feel like I'm commenting into the void.

Nobody cares until someone rich is impacted. Revenge porn has been circulating on platforms uninhibited for many years, but the second it happens to a major celebrity suddenly there's a rush to do something about it.

She also wrote some of the tomb raider reboots and was an additional writer on BioShock infinite.

This is actually pretty smart because it switches the context of the action. Most intermediate users avoid clicking random executables by instinct but this is different enough that it doesn't immediately trigger that association and response.

French laws don't recognize software patents so videolan doesn't either. This is likely a reference to vlc supporting h265 playback without verifying a license. These days most opensource software pretends that the h265 patents and licensing fees don't exist for convenience. I believe libavcodec is distributed with support enabled by default.

Nearly every device with hardware accelerated h265 support has already had the license paid for, so there's not much point in enforcing it. Only large companies like Microsoft and Red Hat bother.

They first started using USB c on the macbooks in 2015. There's no way that it took 8 years to get it ready for the iPhone. In that time they've also released several other devices and accessories which have used lightning.

To me this doesn't point to a planned gradual shift over to USB c but one that was forced by neccesity on the macbook then by regulation on the iPhone.

There's no reason to replace USB A on most desktops since it would break 20+ years of backwards compatibility without any real benefit. Maybe 1 or 2 would be useful.

Now everyone gets to hand over their ids to the tech companies.

A game is only called "woke" when it's bad. Balder's Gate 3 is one of the most "woke" major releases in the last few years but you hardly hear them complain about it.

It's the same thing with cyberpunk 2077. The anti-woke crowd can't agree on whether it's woke because many of them like it.

Flatpak is good for diversity. Users don't need to worry about whether the obscure distro they want to use has the software they want in its repos. If a distro supports flatpak it will work with most popular software out of the box.

Smells like a lawsuit to me. Retroactively devaluing software that they were already paid for.

It's probably a scream test that they'll walk back with something more reasonable in the next few days.

The vegetarian part is irrelevant he could have choked on a vegetarian meal just as easily. The real claim here is that they could have diverted the plane but chose not to.

USB-C display output uses the Display Port protocol

Breaking news: children are more gullible than adults.

Partnered with Adobe research so we're never going to get the actual model.

Better article on the topic IMO: https://www.pbs.org/...

Basically a conservative power fantasy

a thorough investigation is planned beforehand in order to find out how Huawei was able to produce an advanced smartphone so quickly without relying on global supply chains

There's no way a country of 1 billion people which already manufactures most of the world's electronics could have possibly produced complex electronics.

It's been a month. Any investigation that could be completed in that time would be extremely rushed. A proper external investigation could take a year or more.

The issue in the https video is fairly minor and they are working to fix it.
