J'ai (enfin) mis à jour le PC de ma mère de Elementary 5.1 à 7.1 (c'est à dire, réinstallé complètement). Le PC est désormais super lent, c'est flippant. Pas trop sûr de quoi faire là.
"In fact, the #Gaza solidarity encampments on campuses are student-organized and led, with Palestinian students at front and center, and a disproportionately large presence of Jewish students too. It is students, over 1,000 of them, who have faced arrest."
Well done. Facebook (sorry, "Meta"): "Reality Labs has now lost more than $45 billion since the end of 2020, when Meta first began reporting the business segment separately."
Yes, billion with a B.
That's an insane amount of money. I don't even want to go into the whole "think how many hospitals could have been funded with that money".
Quick reminder that @element built a metaverse that works better than anything Facebook has shown, for a fraction of the investment, and built entirely on free and open source technology including @matrix : https://thirdroom.io/
Purée, Qovery / Romaric Philogene qui force Anaïs Urlichs à faire des excuses publiques, via lettre d'avocat, pour avoir fait des tweets sarcastiques sur le manque de diversité dans la tech suite à une photo d'une tablée où on ne voit que des mecs blancs, c'est magnifique.
Apparemment les égos fragiles, c'est pas terminé et ça se traduit par de la bonne menace juridique à la papa, qui fait pendre au nez « compensation pr les dommages subis » etc.
Mais en fait, en France, la politique c'est un concours à la « hold my beer » où chaque premier ministre ou ministre de l'intérieur essaye de prouver qu'il peut faire et être pire que le ou la précédente ?
Really? It's 2024, i'm pretty sure this is a behaviour that should be enforced by your mail reader rather than me artificially breaking
lines just
to
fit an ancient
custom.
Also, how many pixels wide is your screen? I mean, it's up to you if you want to read text on the visual equivalent of a pocket pack of tissues at the end of the day i suppose.
@axx I have evolved on that (but still no to HTML 😛 ), also a better reason to stop doing that is accessibility, because newlines interfere with readers which will think it's a new sentence…
Location services in #GNOME are eerily precise. As in, to a few metres. Even when tunnelling all traffic through a Wireguard VPN exiting in a different country.
As someone still a bit scarred by Enemy of the State even 25 years later, that freaks me out.
And a cursory search has not reassured me much. It uses Mozilla location services, that much is clear, but how does it still provide such a precise location when traffic is tunnelled?
@organicmaps hello! Did the button to remove a POI get removed? It feels like every other time i look for it (tap POI, expand bottom drawer) it's gone. It drives me a bit mad.
@organicmaps I can see that 2024.03.31-8 is not yet on F-Droid, where 2024.03.05-4-FDroid is the latest. But so you can confirm the Edit Place is gone in 2024.03.05-4-FDroid?
@axx edit place button may be hidden if you did not update maps. Or if feature is not editable. Or if it’s a bug. Please report more details about the issue on our GitHub.
"Funny": the only "feature" of Amazon's supermarkets, Amazon Fresh, was that you could "just walk out" and all their clever magic AI would charge you for what you picked from the shelves.
Huge surprise, it relied on over a 1000 people in India. And it was of course the digital equivalent of having a bouncer follow you around the store taking notes of everything you pick up and put down. Lovely stuff.
Yet again, AI snakeoil and –really– microworkers making it possible.
So, VMWare, a company that powers the IT of many organisations via its virtualisation products was acquired by Broadcom in November 2023.
Turns out this was not a seamless transition: Broadcom quickly upended VMWare's pricing model, trying to force loads of customers into much more expensive deals (100 to 300% price increase!). VMWare users are, understandably, furious.
But this may well backfire, as people are now looking at alternatives, and of course free and open source ones. We'll see.
