No, the kafala makes it indentured servitude, as was done in the US hundreds of years ago to pay for the expansive one-way trip. Migrant workers generally benefitted from it, which is why it never ran short of volunteers. Slavery does not b

The last 10 years had very little CPU improvements outside power consumption. AMD may make Gnome great again :)

Do you seriously believe the average person won't think like that? It's breaking trust at the society level. It can become extremely dangerous when a large percentage of the population don't believe there's a social cont

No. Modern firmwares usually support S3 just fine - but it's patched away to make "modern standby" work more easily from the perspective of the hardware manufacturer. With enough whining (ex: the Thinkpad community), the manu

No, it's a software problem. First, try disabling TPM (because of a TXT attack from S3), cf https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/acpi-entering-s3-cant-wak... and https://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabi

I can't believe I'm reading a comment that good on HN in 2021 :) It's refreshing. Yes, the CCP is not about evil - and the top comment nailed it: Ma was encouraging change that was too fast and potentially damaging. China has

It's a very interesting proof of concept. Now if it could work on non apple devices (like when pressing the button on your router) I'd certainly code something with it too! Usecase: you are at your desk with a new laptop (or a fri

On a modern raid of NVME, you can do several gigs per second - with 20 PCIe Gen3 lanes on a 3400G about 10 GB/s is reasonable, for a theoretical max of 20GB/s. Assuming your system is very badly configured and you can only do 3 gi

Extension are a security risks. It's not rocket science to invert colors - the browser can easily do that with no CSS involved. No browser support for dark mode= no dark mode for me.

As I said, without an extension (can't trust them), so I guess the answer for firefox is no, it doesn't support that. Of course, it may display dark mode in sites that respect the system theme - it's the easy part. I don&#x27

Edge on linux has a Samsung-like dark mode (invert colors, but respect pictures) that does not require any extension, just commandline flags. Anything like that on Firefox? If not, I'm not sure Firefox is currently the best option for

Personally, I'm very happy the new RedHat showed their true colors so fast: it helped me decide to leave their ecosystem. EDIT: added "the new" to qualify the statement about RedHat, as indeed it's IBM at play. No amount
