As much as I don’t like epic mega games as a game company I don’t think a company should get a cut of every purchase made in an app on their platform. Sure if you want to use googles or apples payment gateway, but you shouldn’t have too.

Lolcat, yt-dlp, hyprland. Honesty though most of what I find cool these days wouldn’t make any sense to a Windows user. Like DWM, ST, XBPS, lf, ly, neovim, etc.

How are you supposed to train the dam thing to detect something without using that thing though?

I mean Linux is for everyone. But I think the majority of users are probably straight males. I think the trans/fem boy stereotype is more of a community inside joke( not to say there aren’t people of those demographics in the community, and that they aren’t just as welcome as anyone else, but the joke being that Linux will make you trans/a fem boy).

Though I have seen legit trans people like you say they enjoy Linux so it could interestingly be a demographic that is particularly attracted to Linux for whatever reason.

On a different note how do these big companies train AI’s to detect CSAM without using a bunch of illegal CSAM to train it?

When you get more advanced you can use a distro like System Rescue to fix your bootloader instead of having to reinstall everything

I use DX, and it’s a really great app with some great features like:

• fingerprint unlocking
• A dedicated keyboard for selecting and entering credentials to avoid security problems with the system clipboard

I mean they already do it with their cables. Especially mag safe chargers as you can’t remove the cable

Honesty I’m a little bit concerned if they swich Macs as that will be a pretty good indicator of how resistive to OLED burn in modern panels are. A device you scroll social media and watch videos on is one thing. But for a lot of people you will have the same static elements on screen for hours at a time on a laptop or desktop.

Well honesty it would be kinda amusing to watch apple have to give out a bunch of free oled panels if lot’s of people get bad burn in.

They didn’t fake full signal strength they had AT&T( I think) bring in a full blown portable GSM transmitter

I wouldn’t expect logic from the company that now acts like unreal and unreal tournament which made them the company they are today don’t exist. Like seriously you delisted all of it. What is wrong with you!

Does this mean computers can finally do floating point math!

So basically nvidia makes their drivers on Linux a pain to install and use and Linux’s creator has called them out on it in the past. So PopOS is known for having tools that make getting them working easier.

AMD on the other hand has open source drivers so they are right in the kernel. So their GPUS are just plug and play like a USB mouse

Ah another company ruining the company they just acquired

Once again not correct. Yes they will give away cheap earphones, but you can get TW earbuds for £15 easily these days. Also there are plenty of wired earphones that cost hundreds and in a few cases thousands of pounds. It’s still taking away functionality and features when you remove it.

And to address the original apple argument of oh the headphone jack is old outdated tech( from the iPhone 7 announcement). Please go look up a chord Hugo 2 dac. And tell me what the output is. Why then does a over £1,000 dac/amp have a headphone jack.

It’s a poor argument from a company that wants to sell you a bunch of dongles and airpods. Which has unfortunately mostly worked.

And don’t even get me started on the 2016 macbooks which went down so poorly due to the oh you’re just poor argument not working that they went back and added more ports on the newer ones.

I’m not poor I just want to use my £200 wired earphones with my phone without needing a dongle that’s designed to break easier then a late 2012-2016 MacBook charger.

Well for one they made certbot which is a system that can get any website a free SSL certificate( which you need to have HTTPS on your site). So that’s one great thing millions of people use

For me it’s always been a dumb argument. There is no good argument for not having one

• It costs maybe £2 to add a crappy DAC, amp, and headphone jack to a phone that is already ridiculously expensive.

• The waterproof argument was destroyed by the S5, S6, S7, S8, and S9.

• The iPhone 7 literally had the space inside for one!

It’s also weird to me that a lot of budget phones have them. Like why would a £200 phone have a feature a £1,000+ phone doesn’t?

But is that a problem for the threat model of banking as your bank logs everything you’re doing and will gladly share that with the government anyway. My question is is there any other possible data they could gather besides the VPN server’s IP address and what I’m doing with my bank?

Is it so much of a problem if the rest of the fediverse doesn’t follow suit. Most of us and the original devs are here because we don’t like mainstream social media and the direction it’s going.

So sure threads can show up and start trying to call the shots, but I think if we only except them if what they do is in our best interest it will be fine as we can just break off again and do our own thing if they start trying to head the project in their own direction.

As I don’t think most people on here care whether threads is part of the fediverse or not.

My point is they only have power if we go with what they want, and due to the open source nature of this just because they have money and a lot of employees doesn’t mean they can take control.

I have often wondered if you can take an android phone, drill and rip out all the sensors and radio transmitters, and use wired Ethernet through a VPN router and still be able to use just banking apps as that seems to be one thing I keep a proprietary phone around for.

Edit: I forgot the speaker and the mic though the mic could be classed as a sensor
