Hard to know without more context.

However, one thing people have not mentioned yet is exchange rates and foreign trade. The republican candidates have reportedly been talking about devaluing the dollar in order to increase exports and reduce the trade deficit. A strong dollar makes US exports more expensive for people overseas, and imports cheaper in the US. Devaluation runs a big risk of creating huge inflation domestically even if it props up exports.

Tech bro at a non-startup isn’t just like that, but can be very similar. It’s also living in a bubble though. The trick is to find a place with most of the benefits without the crunch.

“As many devices as they could” with Google at the center of nearly all of it (and if you want all the features, you want the Google one). This isn’t done out of altruism.

Not that surprising. Google Jibe is the largest player in RCS. Samsung created their own RCS alternative to Jibe and there are a few others, but Google is hands down the dominant platform. Apple had their own thing already, not exactly jumping to integrate Google Jibe or create another product isn’t surprising.

This is true, Google has cared less about the hardware and more about being the platform to run all of it. Not all that different than Android in that regard.

I’m still not sure why people are so quick to jump on board though. You can degoogle Android, it’s much harder to degoogle RCS.

(So are Google’s extensions to RCS)

That’s because almost everyone on an Android phone is using Google Jibe for RCS, they even turned it on through software for carriers that didn’t support it. It’s not surprising that a Google competitor didn’t jump to implement Jibe.

Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T all ditched their own RCS, they also use Google RCS. They’ve positioned themselves central to the entire stack.

A lot of RCS is using Google Jibe, it’s one of the ways they were able to roll it out so fast not necessarily with carrier support. I can’t fault them too much for not immediately embracing it. Based on the Toms Hardware link it looks like they are depending on carrier hubs. For me that means I may not get support for a long time as an MVNO user.

Tech bro at a non-startup life right there.

That’s more or less American capitalist propaganda. Those are not the only options, and there are prosperous nations with regulated capitalism and strong workers rights where people have stuff and also have time to live life. They just don’t spend most of their money on the military.

Only an instance admin can prevent somebody from logging in to that specific instance. Their activities can be ignored by other instances though.

Normal moderation actions in communities such as deletions and community bans are federated.

It only blocks communities from that instance.

The bot demonstrated very well what this article is about. I don’t know the internals, but I also can’t image the bot was using the best and most expensive ways of doing analysis.

It was pretty bad at “getting the point” even when it was obvious, a better system should be able to do so. Sometimes the point is more difficult to discern and there has to be some judgement, you can see this in comments sometimes where people discuss what “the point” was and not just the data. I imagine an AI would have some difficulty determining what is worth summarizing in these situations especially.

Different applications have better performance on one vs other. Google Cloud still offers a lot of Nvidia options.

Do you sideload extensions in Chromium browsers often? No browser makes it especially easy, auto-updates are hit and miss (uBo has a zip from GitHub, does that auto update?), and it’s extremely likely that many authors don’t bother with special niche development when the vast majority of their user-base is gone (he doesn’t build an XUL version anymore either).

It’s, in fact, some kind of problem even if it isn’t for you.

And AOL. I’d say it sounds more AOL before they allowed access to the open internet, even.

It’s effective for probably most typical users (set it and forget it), especially if you “up” the permissions. Downside is the filter rules have to be bundled in the extension, so it doesn’t update dynamically.

The problem with most of them, is they don’t host their own extension repositories, so their support doesn’t really matter unless you side load all the time.

Somewhat. One, a system can be bootable without the entries because they are just pointers to the actual bootloader, so even if windows does the stupid and deletes them it isn’t the end of the world. It does depend on your specific firmware though.

Also two, you can write them again with a single line in efibootmgr, they’re just saying “if I click Fedora load the shim from the EFI system partition on disk 1”.

This is very different than the old world where windows would delete your bootloader entirely and the MBR couldn’t be easily explored. They live in the efi system partition instead - or at least the shim does- and typically every OS leaves the other ones alone (even Windows, except in this case, although it didn’t touch the shim itself).

The initial comment was about the bootloader and really only applies to MBR partitions.

Bash is still in MacOS.
