sanzky,

Is the abstract concept of “competition” more important than weaning out of fossil fuels in order to keep Earth habitable for humans?

You need to understand, this is written by economists, the people who make a living by justifying human suffering.

sanzky,

Curious. I always imagined it was a reference to the folklore create ‘Imp’.

sanzky,

Even if it’s a nice solution the licensing issue, they are still deceiving their users. I don’t think I have seen anything like them but they should be clear that they are bluetooth.

sanzky,

I think Saru is the best that came out of Discovery. I think the character will rank high in Trek’s Pantheon for a long time.

sanzky,

some contributor agreement does force people to surrender their copyright. MongoDB is probably the most infamous example.

sanzky,

Same goes for words in foreign languages. it just causes confusion. I like how eclipse went for “temurin” (anagram for runtime) for their OpenJDK distribution. no way to cause confusion.

sanzky,

this guy is 100% committed to give nazis a platform, right?

sanzky,

wait… you are not being sarcastic?

sanzky,

is this really an emulator in the traditional sense? (implementing certain hardware architecture using software) or are they just implementing some software to read and run games in the host hardware? I would be very surprised if this was a true emulator, but I have no idea about the current scenario.

U.S. Sues Apple, Accusing It of Maintaining an iPhone Monopoly (www.nytimes.com)

The department joined 16 states and the District of Columbia to file a significant challenge to the reach and influence of Apple, arguing in an 88-page lawsuit that the company had violated antitrust laws with practices that were intended to keep customers reliant on their iPhones and less likely to switch to a competing device....

sanzky,

Jason Snell made a good overview of what the suit focuses on. I think it makes the case easier to understand sixcolors.com/…/u-s-versus-apple-a-first-reaction…

Apple will require notarization for apps from third party app stores, and will disable updates for apps installed via third party app stores if staying outside EU (support.apple.com)

As far as I can tell this basically means that all apps must be approved by Apple to follow their “platform policies for security and privacy” even if publishing on a third party app store. They will also disable updating apps from third party app stores if you stay outside the EU for too long (even if you are a citizen of...

sanzky,

they were just fined with 1.8B because of their anti steering practices. so clearly they don’t always comply

sanzky,

actually, it doesn’t. It is now just “HP inc.” Sole years ago they split the company into HP inc and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. HP kept the PC and printing business and Hewlett Packard kept the enterprise business.

(but I get you. I just wanted to share that detail )

sanzky,

this is incredible common. in software offerings, an enterprise account per user can be twice or more the price of an “individual one”. eg. an individual intelliJ license is 200€ for the first year and 600€ for the enterprise one

sanzky,

iMessages is like a footnote here. I was surprised it was even considered.

sanzky,

they wanted to be irrelevant in the European market for chat applications?

sanzky,

Imagine if 99% of text messages sent were via iMessage, and the EU kept the same ruling.

If 99% of messages were sent via iMessage the ruling would have been different. if it ever fulfils the criteria needed to be considered gatekeepers, then they will be designed as such.

sanzky,

Im not sure you understands how this work. but anyway… they can do whatever with their service. I (or any person I know) dont plan to use it 🤷

sanzky,

Im sorry but this is not correct. Most design decisions are a trade-off, you gain something but you loose something. You might argue that reparability should have a higher priority than size, but saying that you can be more repairable without gaining any size is nonsense.

sanzky,

it is also true that devices that are packaged as an integrated unit are less likely to experience issues. Reparability is a means toward an end (long lasting products) but not the only one way to achieve it.

sanzky,

Im not sure. you dont want to use anything that might disconnect easily. The battery pack does have an additional USB-C plug to ‘daisy chain’ it to other power source.

sanzky,

maybe your vacuum works with valetudo? it’s a self-hosted cloud replacement for many vacuums valetudo.cloud

sanzky,

copyright has become a tool of oppression. Individual author’s copyright is constantly being violated with little resources for them to fight while big tech abuses others work and big media uses theirs to the point of it being censorship.

sanzky,

that would mean governments prosecuting all offences, which is not going to happen. I doubt any country would have enough resources for doing that

sanzky, (edited )

What’s stopping AI companies from paying royalties to artists they ripped off?

profit. AI is not even a profitable business now. They exist because of the huge amount of investment being poured into it. If they have to pay their fair share they would not exist as a business.

what OpenAI says is actually true. The issue IMHO is the idea that we should give them a pass to do it.

sanzky,

which also has DRM on it

sanzky,

The status of Apple as gatekeeper in the messaging app ecosystem is not yet clear. Remember that iMessages is not really popular in Europe, and Europe wont name Apple as a gatekeeper because of imessage’s popularity in the U.S. The EU does seem to be inclined to define them as gatekeeper, but that is not yet final. and if Apple implements RCS that might get them out of the hook. see section 5.4 of this document ec.europa.eu/competition/…/DMA_100013_215.pdf

sanzky,

I love how every thread or post about printers ends up in people just recommending a Brother. I really hope they keep going doing what they are doing.

sanzky,

but what about my gold splits? /s

sanzky,

I did enjoy it for a while. I would probably be enjoying it if it was not because as you move up it becomes very different kind of game

sanzky,

because most news outlets just call it “The EU” or “the EU parliament” without specifying that tje EU has many institutions and political parties, which push their own agendas.

if you replaced every instance of both “republicans” and “democrats” with “the US government” you would get the same kind of impression.

sanzky,

but the non profit controls the for profit. that is not even that unusual. Mozilla works the same way

sanzky,

they probably mean the e-bikes are also electric vehicles.

sanzky,

and then your solar panels are doing anything for you in days. you seem to have been offered a very bad deal. I suggest you find other company to analyse your case

sanzky,

those parts (panels, inverter) are easy to replace since all the installation has been made, and they will be cheaper than they were when you bought them. Im my case panels + inverter were about 40% of the total cost. I imagine a similar powered panel will be way cheaper in 20 years

sanzky,

I doubt it’s the last time. also while “PC” means personal computer, it was a very specific brand name by IBM, not a general purpose term. their computers (and clones later) became synonymous with x86-windows machines.

Even apple themselves have always distanced themselves from the term (I’m a Mac, and I’m a PC…).

sanzky,

I think the Mario movie did well because it is very different from most video game movies. They went for a family/humor approach instead of a serious epic/action movie. The Sonic movies are another example of this working well.

so, Im not very optimistic about a Zelda movie.

sanzky,

yeah but back then it was not 90% web apps. also programming languages are way better supporting both platforms. ARM is far from being a little player anymore

sanzky,

I have fond memories about Prince of Persia (the 2008 incarnation). it was a beautiful game and you basically could not die. your companion (a beautiful woman, because originality) would just rescue you in the last second.

sanzky,

Bouldy believes in you!
