Because it is NOT the same driver. AMD, just like nVidia, want to keep their own secret sauce secret, because that's where the money is.

Definitely, it's his software and he can do whatever he wants, and I'm not criticising him, I'm criticising Linux for not offering a stable driver API. As far as I know they don't even want to allow shims like the one Android Treble introduced. It is not a technical decision, it's a political one.

I didn't say there's a technical reason, I said they want to keep their source code secret, which to me is a reasonable argument.

Yes, Windows has a stable driver API you can build upon.

Linux does not, because they want all drivers to be inlined (included in the kernel) and open source. nVidia does not want to release their trade secrets, so they don't want to open source their drivers.

(No idea about macOS)

Weakest article ever. One of his main arguments is that a Taco Bell transaction got miscategorised, lol

They will use the Chromium engine, so it will be fast and render pages well.

If they stick an ad blocker by default, something the Mozilla Corporation hasn't got the balls to do, they will definitely get some market share.

Or perhaps the title of this article is intentionally ambiguous to make people click.

State of browsers in 2019: asking your browser to bypass an SSL error is so hard that it's easier to ask for a mirror.

I will never understand this trend where, during your worktime, you do lots of stuff that have nothing to do with work. Be it gaming, playing pingpong, getting drunk, rallying for your favourite political cause, making friends, psychological therapy, or whatever.

Yes you have a point. As I've said I don't use it, so I don't know how it goes. What I'm saying is that a politics-free social network is not only possible, but desirable.

That is false. TikTok is a platform where people upload videos of themselves doing things like lip syncing, dancing, etc. That does not have to turn political at all. Unless you use the good ol' argument that "banning all political discussion is supporting the status quo which is also political"

Or Tumblr with pornography.

TikTok is, as the title says, a social network for cheerfulness and fun. I don't use it, but I can understand they outright ban politics: 1) they avoid becoming the vile cesspool Twitter has become, 2) they avoid being asked by governments around the world to take down posts, 3) they avoid being targeted in propaganda campaigns.

It also sounds like Lenovo (computer company), Denuvo (DRM system), and Pepsi (beverage)

If it's just nginx serving files you can do this with a 386. I mean seriously what's so special about this? Maybe I'm missing something. Pretty sure nginx can serve thousands of static files with gzip+ssl per second using the crappiest ARM VPS available. Stick that in Online.net or OVH and you will pay no bandwidth fees.

Of course if your baseline is a wordpress site where every page weighs 3 MB and takes 2 seconds to generate when there's no server load, then this might seem like black magic to you

What's the difference between this and what Instart Logic has been doing for years now? https://github.com/gorhill/uBO-Extra#purpose

You can't block an IP address with a hosts file; you can't even use wildcards in them. You will need a firewall rule.

Oh boy this again.

Everybody has heard about all these things on the telly, on online newspapers, etc. The media launched a massive campaign against Facebook. It didn't work. People find value in Facebook and they don't care about your predicament. Let people enjoy things!

That's supposing I would be stupid enough to keep money in my PayPal account, which I'm not.

And the reason is...?

I've been using PayPal for like 15 years and I've never had a problem with it. "Until you do" is not an acceptable answer to my question. Things work until they don't, that's not a reason not to use them.

"Nobody" cares about x86 anymore except those married to the platform.

You only get to read this kind of stuff in HN.

Can't, like... the biggest DNS servers of the world just turn their backs to the current management of .org and delegate that power to another entity?

This guy has sent this as HTML mail, but also I see the "gmail_signature" class in it. Does it mean he's actually using his webkit.org mail from a Gmail account?

I think they do that to avoid that thing were Chrome/Safari/etc do not draw the underline where the letters are: https://thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i/er57ioliwktkhzeq7... (they want it to look like Firefox does in this screenshot but on all browsers)

It's funny because, back when Safari had just launched this, designers went crazy with ways of emulating it for those who didn't have Safari. Now they do the opposite. Designers are a plague on earth.

GNOME and systemd are funded almost completely by Red Hat and their biggest contributors are full-time Red Hat employees.

GNOME does not run at all without systemd.

Even the biggest Linux distros, like Gentoo, struggle to create a patchset to modify GNOME so it does not require systemd; every new version of GNOME takes months to reach Gentoo stable. Most distros have bent the knee and switched to systemd because they had no other option, as GNOME is the most used Linux desktop so they kinda call the shots.

Ah that is true. That reminds me that they should only be an init system and not Cthulhu.

Friendly reminder that they managed to infiltrate all distros by creating a hard dependency from GNOME to systemd, which they could only pull off because both projects belong to the same corporation.

A logo, a palette of colours, a typography, brand guidelines... all for an init system for Linux. They think they are fucking Coca Cola.

If you don't think that's just insane... well I'm just getting old I guess.

In case you ever doubted the systemd team suffers from delusions of grandeur.
