Germany is also supplying Russia, should Spain exit the mostly-Germany-controlled EU?

That works for phones (and you can download it from the internet if out of date). It doesn't work for cameras which are usually turned off until you want to take pictures.

It's not possible for FOSS to compete with Google in Google's niche — try it and you'll see why. It's possible to find a different niche and expand there.

It's not a platform, it's server-side software for creating a platform.

Do people go looking for videos?

I think I go to YouTube because it has interesting content, and the fact it's in video form isn't particularly relevant. Some content must be in video form but not all of it. I also follow several blogs, and Hacker News. I used to use Reddit when it was less enshittified, the way I use YouTube now. I don't know why I don't follow Nebula - I have a subscription because I want to support more independent platforms.

I don't think it was ever a joke?

People get tired of trying to push back a tsunami with their bare hands. Other people were born into the tsunami and just accept that everything is underwater.

To be fair he did say he was going to invade the EU.

Video looks better on streaming platforms at higher resolutions, even when the pixels are just interpolated, because it increases the compressed bitrate.

This is a form of market segmentation.

So they sold half as many. The next question should be: did they make more than twice as much profit per sale? I suspect the answer is yes.

This week a Microsoft representative told Congress that all Minecraft servers except the ones sponsored by Microsoft are illegal piracy.

Yes. The new generation will grow up without ever owning any media, and will not be able to conceive of the idea of owning media.

Their definition: if a substantial group of buyers has no reasonable choice of seller, it's a monopoly situation

Canvas pixel readback is a common fingerprinting vector, isn't it blocked behind a permission popup?

This is a clearly politicized clickbait title. What actually happened?

IIRC the one that got Kirked was about to start, or had recently started, denying more than a fixed amount of time for anesthesia. If the operation runs longer than expected, you won't be anesthetised for all of it.

invokedynamic comes to mind.

It was later used to implement lambda expressions but originally had no use in the Java language and isn't tailored to lambda expressions.

Getting a GPS fix from the satellites alone with no internet connection or stored data takes a few hours, not seconds. First you have to listen to the very slow data channel that tells you where the satellites are that takes a few hours to transmit the complete set before repeating.

When they oppose AB1043 (California parental controls act) it seems like they are taking that stance, that the government must not regulate computers because they are computers. What's different about the Grok situation?

idk, how does voice recognition learn my voice? How can I install programs when the hardware is static?

Are there really no customers who want the TV to have Netflix built in? At a streaming company I worked at, we put quite a lot of effort into working around all the smart TV firmware quirks so that you didn't need to buy a separate box if you had a supported TV.

The IRCv3 people tried and it never caught on. This is because they don't control the big implementations.

It would make sense if it was only if your app costs or handles money.

They are paying fines for trying to close their open platform. Microsoft isn't because their platform is still open enough, and Apple isn't because it was always closed and everyone who bought it knew it was closed.

How much bandwidth was that?

I'd like to see evidence for this claim.

There is - every server host does KYC and so does every domain registrar (by law). If you're found to have provided incorrect details, it allows them to immediately remove your server or domain without notice.

Interestingly IRC used to have, but no longer has, a feeling that you are writing for people who are online right now, because message delivery was only real-time. It still is, but now everyone uses bouncers or always-on connections so people who return hours in the future are more likely to reply to what you said.

"best" and "hot" are opaque algorithmic feeds and the only way to see the currently active discussions. "new" shows you posts that have no discussions yet and "top" shows you ones whose discussions have concluded.
