I am amused. One the one hand, Microsoft is introducing Recall, which literally takes screenshots of everything you do on windows, but on the other hand, they are taking users ability to take screenshots of their browser away if their company configures it as such.

This tiny PC is now packing the most powerful laptop chip AMD makes!
Funnily enough, Microsoft threw AMD and Intel under the bus.
NONE of the current selling "AI" PCs qualify for the "CoPilot" branding.
Who knows, maybe you don't want that new Microsoft Recall feature on your system anyway?
@KimPerales It's bizarre that they describe Altman as one of their 'most successful alumni' since just about everything he did before OpenAI failed on its merits. But he was able to leverage them to get progressively more-lucrative gigs, whether or not the companies actually did well, so I guess that makes him "successful" - as a grifter.
@cory When I worked on the IBM CICS transaction monitor, our customers used to praise new releases when they were really boring (to upgrade to). That showed how much effort was put into backward compatibility, migration, co-existence, etc..
@underlap I love that — it’s one of the things that really makes me weary so to frameworks like Next.js. Every update or upgrade feels like a small battle rather than a simple, iterative improvement.
sudo dnf up
then sudo dnf system-upgrade download releasever=40
(you can also do 39 if you'd prefer)
then finally sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot
then wait and you're done!
When Iived in Australia, I realised that we Malaysians had access to more advanced tech. Our laptops, smartphones etc were more advanced.
When I was a journalist who would travel overseas to interview people - Asian journalists always had the slickest voice recorders. We were using MP3 recorders while the Western journos were still using tape.
I don't think it's because we r smarter; I think we dare to copy & improve while co's in the West are more protective & possessive of their #tech. 1/2
And I know this post could rile people up due to the way it's worded but there's limited text space so... Lol. What I am trying to say is I noticed that the business culture in the East and the West is different and as a result drives different outcomes. I heard a historian on a podcast say that the concept of intellectual property is an alien on in the East and that the culture there had always been to improve on inventions. (Ie Copy!) This results in quicker innovations. 2/2
@liztai What annoyed me was the disdainful attitude that "You are stupid wasting time creating your own thing. You should just copy someone else." Forgetting that someone has to put the time and effort into creating it in the first place.
If you've been thinking of switching browsers or contemplating whether you should set the Vivaldi browser as default, find out what @xdadevelopers has to say about what makes our browser stand out in the crowd. 👇🏻
@Vivaldi@xdadevelopers I still need to try out Arc, but it seems big on sidebars. And I do not like sidebars.
Except for Opera, the others are still installed on my old laptop.
I like trying out different browsers, and currently I'm using Floorp :)
@Vivaldi@xdadevelopers I've tried to go to XDA, but I'm annoyed by their "Please disable ad blocking" full web page notice.
I'm surprised that a browser like yours would recommend a place that requires intrusive advertisements to work, knowing how much you guys hate intrusive adverts.
I am a run-of-the-mill Android-phone-Windows-desktop-Gmail-user but now I'm in the process of transitioning from Gmail and using Duck Duck Go to research how to set up a Linux desktop.
Oh, and also now Signal-curious.
What is this place? Some kind of privacy cult LOL?
@shansterable Or other way - privacy cult chose this place because there is no surveillance here. As a paranoid I use it as only social media service :blobfoxmlem:
