redcalcium,

Steam is available in 237 countries, while PSN is only available in 69 countries. Some people are going to be locked out from the game they bought. E.g African players are going to be fucked.

Yes, it is all Unix (feddit.nl)

Alt text: meme with the ‘Always has been’ formatLinux, MacOS, OpenBSD and ChromeOS logos on top of the Earth The first astronaut says ‘Wait, it’s all Unix?’ A Windows logo, on top of the second astronaut. The second astronaut says ‘Always has been’ and points a gun to the first astronaut.

redcalcium,

Windows was this close to be Unix. Windows was POSIX.1-compliant, and Windows Service for UNIX was also a thing.

redcalcium,

There was another OS that was POSIX compliant too…

redcalcium,

Hmm, what do you mean when a tank game has a tankies reputation?

redcalcium,

I’m more of a Space Impact guy

redcalcium,

Coincidence or not, it must’ve caused a chilling effect to other whistleblowers.

redcalcium,

How the heck did those tools developers figure out how to remove those various ads in windows? Did they do it the hard way, fired up a debugger to reverse engineer how those ads were displayed? That takes some dedication. We in the Linux land have it easy because the source code is available to mess with.

redcalcium,

When I was a teenager, I made a page in Word, saved it as html, then uploaded it to geocities. Good times.

redcalcium,

I mean, a huge number of redditors moved here because of reddit enshittification.

redcalcium,

Why would they do that when they can use this as yet another push to move people to windows 11.

redcalcium,

It would be nice if the prisoners could take class or earn a degree while in prison, at least when they get out they have a new skill or a degree so they have a better chance to get a job to pay off their prison debt.

redcalcium,

The books they loaned are loaded with DRM though, which make it unusable after the loan period expires, so it’s not like they’re handing out unlocked pdf en-masse like z-library. They probably thought this restriction was good enough and publishers have enough goodwill to let it slide during the height of the pandemic.

redcalcium,

Highway, all lanes are completely cut off, at 2 am, with no nearby street lights in sight. Those drivers probably didn’t even see it coming. Even if you’re a drifting god, you probably can’t escape it unless you can jump the guardrails like the speedracer to the opposing lanes. After a pile of burning cars lit the area, people noticed something was off and started slowing down and avoided doom.

Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App (lemmy.world)

See, it turns out that the Rabbit R1 seems to run Android under the hood and the entire interface users interact with is powered by a single Android app. A tipster shared the Rabbit R1’s launcher APK with us, and with a bit of tinkering, we managed to install it on an Android phone, specifically a Pixel 6a....

redcalcium,

You’d be surprised how many companies ignore GPL. Providing broken links to the source code tarballs, telling you to send an email request to get the code then proceed to ignore the requests, etc. Only the most famous case got sued, the rest simply got away with it.

redcalcium,

Technically you can’t call it “Android” without paying Google for certification and play store/gapps license. It’s AOSP.

redcalcium,

The term “Android” itself is trademarked and can’t be used by hardware manufacturers without passing certification and paying Google.

redcalcium,

Everything will cost so much less that Universal Basic Income wouldn’t need to be anywhere near as high as it is right now to be “living wage”.

Assuming companies would pass the saving to their customers, which is usually not the case these days.

redcalcium,

I imagine cops would forcibly remove homeless tents near nice neighborhoods, which is usually where schools are located.

redcalcium,

Xeon E5-2670, with 115W TDP, which means 2x115=230W for the processor alone. with 8 ram modules @ ~3W each, it’ll going to guzzle ~250W when under some loads, while screaming like a jet engine. Assuming $0.12/kwh, that’s $262.8 per year for electricity alone.

Would be great if you have an isolated server room to contain the noise and cheap electricity, but more modern workstation should use at least 1/4 of electricity or even less.

redcalcium,

Power scaling for these old CPU is not great though. Mine is slightly newer and on idle it still uses 50% of the TDP.

redcalcium,

Google Reader was the best. Not sure why Google killed it, but it was really good at both content discovery and keeping up with sites you’re interested in. I tried several alternatives but nothing came close, so I gave up and hung out more on forums / link aggregators like slashdot, hacker news, reddit and now lemmy for content discovery. I’m also interested to hear what others use.

Newpipe is getting updates on fdroid again and seem like will be getting updates for the foreseeable future as the issue stopping it is solved. (f-droid.org)

Also on an unrelated note anyway to remove live from your subscribed channels update field ? Some channels are filling it with live so i have to really scroll down to see my video feeds and can’t find a setting to switch it off. Newpipe didn’t used to add live in your what’s new feed of subscribed channels, related pic .

redcalcium,

They’ve been playing cat and mouse with google for a while now where google keep breaking youtube access from newpipe.

redcalcium,

I thought cops wearing chainmail was ridiculous, but maybe London police should have something like this:

redcalcium,

When self-driving cars finally become a reality (working reliably on any condition without constant supervision), I suspect many people would skip buying house and buy these cars instead because it’ll be so much cheaper. After work, you hop into your car and take a nap, then wake up in a diner’s parking lot. Go back to the car again after eating to sleep, and wake up in the morning already in your office’s parking lot. Basically homeless but never need to worry about cop because the car constantly moves while you’re sleeping, making circuit around the city until it finally take you back to your office’s parking lot.

redcalcium,

You can always install an EV conversion kit to old cars.
