Because of the way the layer system works. You can read Fedora Magazine's article about the technology to get a better grasp. https://fedoramagazine.org/what-is-silverblue/

Debian defines the package format and fosters the culture around that format. Third-parties who wish to distribute software via Debian packages have to use the standard that Debian has decided upon. I am taking up the issue with Debian, as

They could allow side loaded apps with the same notarization requirements as Mac apps. This could prevent the proliferation of outright malware. Even side loaded apps are still subject to the iOS app sandbox. The permissions APIs could stil

How would you reproduce the build on systems that are not capable of performing the build due to hardware or practical constraints? If I am obtaining closed-source packages, how do I reproduce those builds? The benefit of signing is adjacen

I once worked for Amazon as a contractor with Insight Global. While it wasn't a bad gig, the culture wasn't a fit so I left. Since then (almost a year), every week I have been mailed a return box for the equipment that I have alre

It's an unpopular take, but I think Debian is less than ideal with how they secure packages. Per-package signing is not the expectation in Debian-land, and the two main ways of signing packages aren't supported by the main repos.

Definitely a click-bait title. I'd argue the IP alone gives you even more useful information.

SRE principles at work. I'd expect such an outcome given that they invented the profession.

Nor does the majority of data we have support their conclusion. As you have alluded to, conservative areas tend to have shorter lifespans when compared to population-dense places, because of issues affecting health. Poverty, age, distance t

This is such a boneheaded decision I can't help but laugh. Everyone I know who has tried CarPlay now avoids cars that do not have it. When I bought my Miata last year, I specifically chose the trim with CarPlay capability. I will not b

These are going to be ripe for abuse. I don't think there should be any TLDs shadowing popular file extensions.

It's also worth noting that this isn't the first time something like this has happened. A few OS versions ago they whitelisted some first-party apps despite firewall rules blocking them.

One could argue it certainly makes it more possible. If their claims can't be verified or refuted, there is little risk in making them.

I can agree with that perspective. There is also the cultural element. In America at least, having a Windows Phone was about as uncool as you could get. Capability or price didn't matter, it'd get you socially snubbed. We see so

I feel that Microsoft sees the writing on the wall when it comes to Windows. The world is going increasingly mobile, and people are doing more and more via their phones (iOS and Android) and ditching the desktop. Your average person isn&#x2

Looks like their price-gouging gambit didn't pay off. My former employer of over 100k employees migrated to OpenJDK rather than pay into their ridiculous new pricing scheme. I imagine plenty of other enterprises have done the same.

I imagine it's due to the urgency with which they been trying to push Bard out the door. RLHF seems to be a key component in making an actually useful chat AI, so they want to start collecting that data ASAP. Management is probably b

I'll play with it, but this is exactly why I won't be depending on it for anything. Can't trust that Google isn't going to drop Bard if it isn't an immediate and roaring success.

Hopefully this can relieve some of the demand on ChatGPT. Ever since GPT-4 was released they've been having a hard time keeping services available.

This looks like a good way to explore how we could start using AI at our organization. Say we have a PDF of an instruction manual and we'd like to make a workflow that lets us use Ask Relevance. There doesn't seem to be a way to v

Sounds like they are using the concern for recycling to mask their frustration with Apple's Activation Lock making stolen goods worthless. If they obtained the laptops legitimately, they would have known better to remove the devices fr

At least among Gen-Z, it's less an indicator of sexual orientation, and more so one's sexual position. I am friends with a (hetero) couple where the male is the bottom. She pegs him because that what they like. He is not attracted
