Impeachments mean nothing without a conviction.


Clickbaity headline, but good article.


Walker suggested that American companies could collaborate with European firms to implement measures ensuring data protection.
Simultaneously, those same companies are actively lobbying the EU to dismantle those protections.


Clearly that’s why it’s called DoorDash. /s


While their intentions are good, this will unfortunately probably lead to them losing their last two domain names.


There should be an option to turn it all off for those who don’t want to be spied on though.
Also, features like remote start could be implemented to function over a local network rather than needing to connect to the internet at all.


With streaming companies owning the content, buying DVDs is just another way of financially supporting the same companies for worse quality.
Even when one piracy platform is taken down, there are new ones launched in their place. Nothing guarantees that DVDs will continue to be produced in perpetuity, just as digital copies of video games are progressively becoming less and less prevalent.


Not interested if it’s on .ml.


Valve is definitely the best and the most innovative, particularly in contrast to Epic’s attempt to bribe their way to success and intentionally ignoring Linux, but even the best have their faults.


Potential evidence being destroyed just by giving the Internet access to it.


Wine can be set up in a similar way, but Valve’s default setup is designed to for use with Steam first and foremost.
A bigger issue is that the Steam Deck touchpads don’t work without Steam being open. A more open approach would have been to write independent driver software for the touchpads.
Valve’s far and away better than Nintendo, but has still designed the Steam Deck to be heavily reliant upon Steam to function. The Steam Deck is priced in a way that anticipates increased consumer usage of Steam, but in isolation of Steam, it would be more usable as a Linux PC if it were more software-agnostic.


Valve’s better than Epic Games, but they still have every incentive to keep users in their ecosystem with DRM. To that end, the Steam Deck’s Proton compatibility layer and touchpad driver are integrated into Steam, rather than functioning independently of it.
Using the Steam Deck is possible without buying any games on Steam, but making Steam the core part of the distribution inherently encourages its usage.
Edit: I like the Steam Deck, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to point out the aspects of the platform designed to encourage the use of Steam.


eBay owned PayPal at one point, but both companies today are independent and separate from one another.


Any remnant of Copilot left anywhere on the operating system is still a loss for the user and their privacy. Microsoft still wants user data, so they’re not going to be getting rid of Copilot any time soon.


He’s crazy, and therefore doing more harm than good in advocating for piracy.


Improving webapp functionality rather than stuffing more and more AI down our throats, for instance.


.org, .se, and .in were revoked as a result of the Spotify announcement, unfortunately. .li and .pm are left.


1.5 million websites that, whether obscure or not, deserve to be indexed no less than the many obscure GitHub pages that Microsoft is sure to index.


The Associated Press shouldn’t take their ‘glitch’ claims at face value.
