  • I've said for a while that platforms that allow you to easily move make me more comfortable using them, and ironically, more likely to stay around.

  • Peanut Butter is one word.

  • Really they need to work on power usage and temperature of x86 so the chips are easier to use in mobile devices without a fan and dying in 3 hours. Stationary devices seem to be chugging along with x86 comfortably, but the chips are currently impractical otherwise.

  • Dictators and twisting/misinterpreting religious texts; name a more iconic duo.

  • I always feel like an old granny when I read about passkeys because I've never used one, and I'm worried I'll just lock myself out of an account. I know I probably wouldn't, but new things are scary.

    Are they normally used as a login option or do they completely replace MFA codes? I know how those work; I'm covered with that.

  • If I let my beard get long enough, the neckbeard cowlicks collide and make random waves and spikes stick out.

  • One of my mates has been pinged for it before, but it seems like he just got a stern letter.

    I put my setup behind a VPN anyway. Proton hasn't done me wrong yet.

  • "They have to get rid of it unless they decide not to."

    I assume it's just gonna be inherited by Mauritius.

  • Yeah it's a pretty shite situation all around. Will be interesting to follow the US DOJ ruling on the split-up of Google.

  • Well, when there's only really 2 friends available, and the other options are just those guys in different hats...

  • But I don’t see any reason why they “wouldn’t be able” to have a deal anymore.

    It's this part of the article that stuck out to me:

    the DOJ suggested limiting or prohibiting default agreements and “other revenue-sharing arrangements related to search and search-related products.” That would include Google’s search position agreements with Apple’s iPhone and Samsung devices — deals that cost the company billions of dollars a year in payouts. The agency suggested one way to do this is requiring a “choice screen,” which could allow users to pick from other search engines.

  • Any guesses on how this would affect Android and Firefox?

    I'm not 100% on how the Android business works so I'm not sure how important Goggle's involvement is.

    Firefox relies on Google's 'default search engine' bribe quite a lot, and they might not be able to offer that anymore(?)

  • Saying it's AI even when it's completely irrelevant makes it modern and cool though.

  • Poor Nintendo really need the win :( /s

  • I didn't even know VS Code was something you could pay for.

    Also, are you using Discord bots for work?

    Edit: Nope and nope.

  • TL;DR: The ol' classic of short-sighted money saving.

  • I assume the success of Friday Night Funkin' gave it some extra life.

  • Gwenocwide :3

  • 'Porn' is plural, with 'porno' being the singular.
