It is a custom architecture somewhat related to MIPS

Yellow peril

They built it to be another Twitter.

I can't even remove the "Recommended" section from the Start menu

Unless it is pro-Palestinian speech of course

Linux market share must be growing

Good, we need an alternative to Reddit that isn't manipulated

They should have sued the coward police department. The rest of the world plays the same games people play in the US. I grew up playing GTA, didn't steal or shoot anything.

Firefox slides into irrelevance either. I didn’t realize it has less than 4% market share. I remember when it had around 20% not too long ago

"it is my building!" -- Elon, probably

Also snow tires make a huge difference in the snow

I foresee a lot of people that would rather China spy on them than the US.

Article is behind a paywall but you can read this article which cites the Haaretz article.

That’s a very relative and personal question. Because for me the world is getting better. Not everyone lives in the US, here we graduate university with money saved instead of being in debt

Java

So a splash screen every time a link is clicked?

One has to wonder how many clock cycles are wasted to render the watermark

For whatever reason it has been more successful attracting Arabic speakers than the fediverse.

It is still super hard to get

I keep running into all kind of weird federation issues. I don't know if the reasons are technical or political. Point is, you can't see the whole fediverse using one account on one instance.

Really looking forward to mass produced 16nm chips. Flooding the market is just what’s needed to make them more affordable

If all they are using their PCs for is word processing and intranet webapps, perhaps they don't need Windows anymore. It is not like ActiveX is supported anymore.

Whoever can become independent of the other's chips will win. Who will remove the other first from its supply chain? I have my guesses but it will be interesting to watch it play out.

EVs are cheaper to fill up than internal combustion engine cars, even in oil rich countries - Changan Eado EV, 9 Saudi Riyal (2.4USD) to drive 460km (287.5miles) - . I want to get an EV eventually, I just want to know how well can they handle +50C temperatures.

Have a spare laptop/desktop that you can use to lookup answers quickly.

I think they meant the destruction of Carthage something I am still sore about

They are bringing back personas?

No one will try to sell you anything, not even ads

FreeWin

ReactOS has been around for a while but still in development and not production ready

Trump rocked the boat and Biden did nothing except double down.

I know how that works. I just don't want them to reply to me, I don't care if they read it.

I’m not against Threads joining fedi. That’s where most of the Arabic content is and it is nice that it will be easier to share.

I'm glad my country went with Huawei. It is good to have cheap alternatives to Western technology and the West is forcing China to develop in this area, so it is a win for everyone.

If Microsoft does that I'm wiping out my laptop and going back to Linux*

* only reason I moved away is I bought a new laptop to replace my 2010 Mac mini that ran LinuxMint, and the laptop came preloaded with Windows 11 and I decided to just keep using it as-is as I liked the UI.

Fun fact: it is not an entirely new idea. Microsoft did something similar with Active Desktop in Windows 98 but was later removed.

We will see how it plays out long term, but it seems to me that the US is hollowing out Europe to enrich themselves in their economic war against China. If you don't believe that, look what the US is doing to encourage manufacturers to leave Europe and move to the US, or the fact that they overcharge Europe on fossil fuels.

Some of us are not PC gamers and have no desire to be. I prefer consoles and will always do, though I miss the simple -no-install required- consoles of yesteryear.

I stand with Sudan. UAE is being a trouble maker in the region, they even illegally occupy Yemeni islands.

Fun exercise: 🇸🇩🇦🇪🇾🇪 are the flags of UAE, Yemen and Sudan. Can you tell which is which?

You are right, I haven't checked for a while, I thought it was still unavailable. I ordered one yesterday.

There’s a bridge in development that should be interesting https://www.docs.bsky.app/blog/feature-bridgyfed

I forgot this thing exists.

It all started with Apple choosing KDE's KHTML instead of Gecko. Then it was compounded when Chrome forked WebKit to develop Chromium. Mozilla tried to modernize their engine but it was too little too late with the rise of the mobile web.
