Pages on FB are dying because Meta been milking it's content creators for decade. Your content of Facebook is only have reach if you pay for it.

Here is humble opinion of a person who is not QEMU developer, but looked at it's code more than once for purpose of debugging my gaming VMs with VFIO. QEMU is a great project, but to begin with flexibility was not a primary design goal

I dont pretend that Twitter is not censored, but Facebook censorship is far more intrusive, random and puritanic. This is not about some political views, but I just practically dont see how platform like this can succeed. After all Instagra

I wonder how soon Meta moderation policies will kill this platform. Elon of course abuse his power to ban those he dislike and to ban trackers of his plane (and to help some dictator war criminals while he at it), but Facebook / Instag

This is not mandatory by law though and mostly it's up to merchant to decide whatever they require 2FA or not. AFAIK payment processors like Stripe actually let you make 3DS (and whatever it called for MasterCard / AMEX) mandatory

This depends on your use cases. If you running stable distribution like Ubuntu LTS and use Blender (or any professional 3D software) Nvidia proprietary driver is still make sense to use. Also Nvidia is obviously your choice if you want to r

Yeah pardon. I meant that nobody leaked whole databases or massive datasets. It's still possible to leak personal data on specific people.

It's mostly not actual leaks though. Just result of countless government beuracrats working for $300 / month. Considering fact that some people going to die on frontlines for $3000 / month leaking bunch of data for $100 is no

That's true. In Russia databases of passport data sold on DVD on local markets long before government had any real online services.

Okay pardon my far-from-perfect use of English after a day of sleep deprivation. I should have said natural gas, not gasoline.

It's actually much better already. Russia is currently getting paid for good part of oil and other natural resources in Indian rupees that are completely useless for Russia. Since February 2022 India imported products from Russia for $

EU never put any sanctions against Russian gas. The only reason why EU stopped buying it is because of Putin genious attempt to freeze EU by blocking gas exports.

Situation when India and Saudi Arabia profit from that oil is much better than if Putin would get all the profits. Transportation over long distances and opacue pricing also eating into tax income and it does work. Kremlin changing oil expo

In UK there are very few companies that hire above $100K: mostly hft, gambling, fintech and subsidiaries of US companies. Almost all other UK tech companies hire senior developers for 65K-75K GBP. At the same time both job security and work

AMD is limited by numerous patent and other legal issues. For this reason small company that releases everything as open source have some chances to beat AMD on their own hardware.

Motion capture processed data and pre-processed 3D models are far less bandwidth-intensive than a video feed. The only problems that can't be really solved by super realistic 3D is latency.

Problem is: Apple mostly ruined their relationship with Epic, Meta and even Valve. Whatever excellent VR tech they come up with will be mostly ignored by the game industry. Good part of iPhone / iPad success was due to the excellent ap
