HTML 5 isn't a programming language! (Yes, I'm a nerd)

That already happened though. Tens of thousands of games on Steam can be played by hitting the install and then the play button. Only a few "competitive multiplayer" holdouts with rootkits and an irrational hatred of Linux don't work.

Firefox has been able to block all third-party / cross-site cookies for ages. It's just not the default because it breaks some sites. But dive into the settings and you can easily set it to block all cross-site cookies, or even all cookies if you prefer.

The inherent flaw is Qualcomm actually having to properly support one of their chipsets directly to customers for once, something they're apparently really bad at. This box has had some pretty bad press already, mostly due to the software being abysmal.

Not sure what you have against minimum wage, it works well in other countries (I'm from the Netherlands). Obviously it doesn't solve everything by itself, but it's definitely a valuable part of a range of measures to treat people fairly. It's a fantasy that everyone can be educated to a level above minimum wage.

A 10 Gbps network is MUCH slower than even the smallest oldest PCIe slot you have. So cramming the GPUs in any old slot that'll fit is a much better option than distributing it over multiple PCs.

As I get older I've grown annoyed at the power a truly beautiful woman has over me. It's just a pretty exterior, why should she deserve different treatment than any other nice person? But my heartrate and power of speech don't seem to agree with this unfortunately.

30% is the cut only if the sale happens on Steam itself. Devs can sell keys through other means and Valve gets 0%.

The difference might be HTTP vs HTTPS. On a Pi the extra CPU load to properly encrypt the HTTPS stream is probably significant.

If this means I can deny WhatsApp access to my regular contacts and still have a decent user experience I'm all for it.

Millions of Steam Decks and their ilk have been sold, and run games significantly better on SteamOS than their Windows counterparts, to the point that Microsoft is reportedly cancelling their own gaming handheld plans. Not a massive challenger to the Switch 2 for most ordinary people, but things are definitely changing.

Also the company behind docker and dockerhub isn't exactly popular amongst people who know them. Dockerhub has turned from free to free-ish and there's real doubt it won't get worse. Which is why more and more people are hosting their container images in other places.

Also this is why distributions like Debian don't package a recent version of Docker any more, there's licensing shenanigans IIRC.

Yeah as if camels need guns to kill. Those fuckers are plenty dangerous on their own.

Many modern programming languages like Rust and Go and Zig compile statically anyway, so don't use any libraries. The whole "my distro supplies my libraries" model has been steadily losing relevance for years now. Flatpaks are just one more example of this.

What kind of AI written nonsense is this. No sources to back up their claims. Made up percentages that seem way too specific. Obviously bad IoT devices can do bad things but claims like these require something to back them up.

It is. On their YouTube channel there's a very interesting Q&A on their event earlier this year, here: https://youtu.be/os_fHy1mB_M There was a question specifically about making a smartphone. They explained it was very unlikely they'd ever do that and explained their reasoning behind it, so I'd highly recommend watching the video of you're interested in how they think.
