Have you tried it since the vector map release a few weeks back? I found it greatly improved rendering performance.

Court's statements: 2024: "Google abused its monopoly position for search dominance" 2025: "Punishing Google now would be unreasonable because its dominance is under threat by AI" Wrist slapped. Somebody got their b

That is wild. And so disrespectful of apps that may need that extra memory. I wonder if GrapheneOS will also suffer this memory overhead, once they do support this newest Android. Or possibly allow disabling it.

In case you are switching for better coverage, Google Fi now only uses T-Mobile towers. In my experience in a rural area, it's declining in coverage so badly that I'm switching carriers.

To be more specific, if we assume good faith upon our fine congresspeople to craft this well... ok yeah, well for hypothetical case I'll continue... What legal teeth I would advocate would be targeted to crawlers (a subset of bot) and

What we need is some legal teeth behind robots.txt. It won't stop everyone, but Big Corp would be a tasty target for lawsuits.

This too is part of a pattern. Punk followed rock and roll. Is GrapheneOS the band that brings the culture? I wanna say yes on its own merits, but it's the political buffoonery that makes me think it's caught some lightning in a b

Those operations, much as i respect them, did not reach the attention that GrpaheneOS has. Have they reached a takeoff velocity that more principled players didn't? Wouldn't be the first time we sang that chorus.

If we really had a convergence of culture on the tools that keep ownership on the contributors, the world would be very different. But most people accept the cost of last generation patterns of control, for whatever small benefits they can

Any maintainer pairs want to reach out? I'll give it a shot.

Reminds me of the heuristic some folks use around COVID vaccines. Dismiss their success in saving millions of lives... because they succeeded. It's not a hotel it's a reservation. Where habitat destruction can move slowly enough t

This is not what they've claimed. Their pursuit of their own hardware phone next year could rattle the phone duopoly. If, and a big if, the intelligence agencies of the world will allow it to be sold.

I would love to see a diligently researched episodic series, every episode covering the transition of a popular open-source library/tool/app/site from one maintainer to the next. And that's why I don't run Netflix.

Indeed. Some of those bacteria would love to consume your megproject. As you soon as you lose power to resist, they get a banquet of a lifetime!

The credit belongs to Laurence Britt. And this was for a poster briefly sold at the museum, not produced by it. Full text: https://secularhumanism.org/2003/03/fascism-anyone/

I use the Signal fork Molly to get messages on multiple phones. One remains the primary and the others linked, but I get messages even if the primary is off.

If you read more than the headline you'd realize that this article does not support your boffins-know-nothing stance.

Smoke and mirrors. The UK government got what they want with Apple disabling ADP. Until that's turned on, all iCloud backups are available to them. That Apple can even claim it encrypts your data is such a bald-faced lie when Advanced

The remarkable state of affairs here is that this has nothing to do with blocking ads. These sites can serve ads the same way they serve all their imagery. They don't do that because it's more profitable to turn your device into a

I don't agree. More tech will always have snickets we can bypass our best self-imposed gaols. The mitigations that work well for me are purely encouraging endogenous dopamine production. Hiking (or anything outdoors). Sleep improvement

Also consider the mental health crisis among outsourced content moderation staff that have to appraise all kinds of depravity on a daily basis. This got some heavy reporting a year or two ago, in particular from Facebook. These folks for al

Does the duty cycle mean it's only sending a receiving for those 36 seconds of every hour? The hermit in me is enthused by communicating with this restriction.

Can't help but feel like this is Microsoft leaning on devs to make the general PC multiplayer gaming experience so onerous that they'll choose to get an XBox instead.

I think I'm not the person who replied to you re the quote you make. One of the powerful points the author makes is at the heart of what you are resisting. Feeling and understanding are substantiatively different things. We can feel wh

I've read about half the book. I stopped because I got the impression it'd run out of steam. With that caveat, I do recommend it. In particular your comment indicates you would like it, if you're willing to accept the termino

I re-read Amusing Ourselves to Death last year and I found it surprisingly apt for what the Internet represented in 2024. Most cultures haven't come to grips with what it's become. Apart from some hangers-on from the old days, all
