That sounds expensive. They’d rather change the law. Again.

The nice thing about the fediverse is that you could start your own instance and not federate with them

I’m all in favour of prosecuting Google for it’s search monopoly, but Trump only cares about using the monopoly in his own favour

I’m sure they understand the problems, and they understand that solving them would eat into their profits

Accidents happen, and people panic. Maybe she thought she was pressing the breaks and made the problem worse. I highly doubt anyone would do it intentionally.

The real problem is they didn’t play the “think of the children” card. Then the government would leave them alone

Many of the inactive instances are probably from people who tried self hosting and then gave up. Just my theory.

Meta made a twitter clone when they had the chance, they’ll happily make a YouTube clone.

I don’t think Amazon or Microsoft are very interested in entering that market, but they are the only ones with the money and compute to support such a platform.

Maybe Netflix could be interested? But I doubt it

A special deal? Doesn’t the message basically say “give us your data so you maybe have a chance at buying stock at full price, and be thankful we’re not marking it up”?

This was a series of decisions with good intentions that went poorly in the long run.

Our customer wanted us to setup a system so their users could track their products from their site from a variety of carriers; but their backend was very old and difficult to work with, and their network very locked down.

We were struggling to setup a single carrier, so we eventually decided to setup a new server with modern tooling on our own network so we could develop this and other “complicated” features with less pain, and they would only have to make a single exception to their firewall.

Fast forward a year and:

  • They didn’t request any more “difficult” features, so the server was serving a single API
  • One of our carrier’s API keys had expired and nobody noticed because they weren’t using it, and they didn’t request support for additional carriers either
  • Somebody on their security team noticed the strange calls to our servers and demanded we moved the API to their infrastructure anyway

feddit.uk was registered last June, just like feddit.nl. Feddit.de was changed in August 2021. Unless the domains were transferred, feddit.de is the oldest

But rehabilitation costs money, money that could go to private prisons instead

Not really. While Microsoft can (and does) develop newer frameworks and features integrated into the OS that can break compatibility with existing versions of proton and wine, these changes wouldn’t affect existing games or games developed with the older frameworks.

And even if a new game is developed for these new incompatible frameworks, they will only remain incompatible until proton is patched to support them.

Any extension to re-enable right click. It’s annoying when they try to block me from downloading a picture/video, copy pasting, or inspecting elements

FYI, the Factorio devs have stated that the game will never go on sale

Can you elaborate why? I’m curious

At home you can use Unbound

No.

  1. I think that 75 is already too old, especially because they won’t let go of their positions until their terms end even after the “mandated” age of retirement (unless the law specifically forbids taking a position you won’t be able to complete)
  2. Politicians will argue that this age is either too young or too old and will either never update this law, or update it so often it becomes meaningless.

An alternative could be to set the limit to a percentage of average life expectancy, or some other variable, so the law isn’t as easy to ignore or mess with, the law can remain unchanged for decades and remain relevant without adverse effects (hopefully), and politicians are encouraged to improve the quality of life.

Was she a Boeing whistleblower?

Of course there is! They could spend more money in PR campaigns and ~bribes~ lobbying

Wasn’t there a proposal to let companies vote in Delaware not too long ago? Democracy would truly only apply for the rich at that point

It will be next year

So they’ll be playing on a higher difficulty?

Given that neither twitch nor YouTube will let you, you should look at Owncast; but I don’t know about a particular server for that

Ignoring the problem doesn’t make it better

All the songs I have copied to iTunes get uploaded, but if you have the lossless versions they get converted to normal quality on other devices, or if you remove the local original copy.

Music doesn’t support flac, though, you have to convert them to alac first.

I also use a Mac, I don’t know if it’s different on windows

I would say better because this one can get some coverage, and employees could find other jobs. As far as the workers conditions, they’ll only do the bare minimum they can get away with anywhere

look up the difference

Sounds like too much effort

On top of this, someone could make an instance dedicated to that niche subject and similar topics, and you could subscribe with the account you already have somewhere else instead of having to periodically check that niche instance.

Right now the problem is finding those instances, and generally finding reliable instances that won’t suddenly go offline

As someone who is just getting started in a new language (rust), it can be very helpful when trying to figure out why something doesn’t work, or maybe some tips I don’t know (even if gets confused sometimes).

However, for my regular languages and work, I imagine it would be a lot slower.

I don’t know if you count airdrop as continuity, but you could try that. Also, you should be able to iMessage yourself

Let’s see: 30*3 = 90

We have room for 3 more categories, and then some!

They are all small, but they still make up 100%

From the app no. Even if you could get into the pokemon go app and mod it, they would quickly notice the modified app and ban you

Watching over your children sounds like a lot of effort. Big Brother can do it for me, and they can remove some of the content I don’t like to see with those bills. I’m on their side so surely it wont affect me negatively.

Oh, right, I misread the registration date, plus you obviously know more about it than me 😅

3.7k people download Threads, but how many will use it?

There is also a limit to the number of files the browser can download in parallel, so if many files have to be fetched, they have to wait until the previous downloads are finished. This slows down performance even more

It’s up to the attester to decide. Maybe it needs to run some verifications every so often. There’s nothing preventing it from refusing you attestation too, if your device is out of date, or is too old and won’t receive future updates
