Not surprising any longer... There's a whole class of Mac Mini's (including the latest revision) where if you install Catalina, the HDMI port dies.

It was a good speech. Reasoned and thoughtful, providing historical precedents, and examining the benefits and risks unique to global internet platforms. Can't say I agreed with everything, but on the whole, I think it's a great

They shouldn't invite you over for dinner again, but it ends there. They don't get to come for your job, your career, your legacy.

Look at the level of effort and defense you needed to go to in order to try and explain this stuff away. We disagree on a few things, like, I do think it was an admission of corruption, but I agree that much of this can never / will n

That's a fine law. However, there's a vast distance between that quote and convincing evidence of a violation in this instance.

I find it truly difficult to believe that you believe this so easily. It's preposterous. They closed the case immediately after replacing the prosecutor.

You say "clearly illegal" like it means something, or it's true. At best, you could say that you think it is illegal. What law? Where is the violation? "by everyone looking" is another silly falsity. Lots of p

No proof of Biden corruption? How about the video where he brags about extorting Ukraine to fire the special prosecutor investigating the company his son was being paid by? "I'm leaving in 6 hours... if he's not fired, you&

We're talking about cigarettes here, not heroin. It's the only advice that matters.

I think the solution lies in a system that doesn't use HTTP. Been thinking about it for years.

The market seems to disagree. There isn't a lot of work available for concert pianists.

Followed by Patreon banning her the following day. It's getting pretty crazy how little one has to do to get deplatformed, if you've attracted an audience.

Satoshi hasn't posted in almost 9 years. If he was still active, it's much less likely he would still be unknown.

Brave is Chromium, you should be able to install the Chrome extension.

Yeah, the browser project is quite nice... and it has more room to improve in terms of size/speed. While most of the Brave stuff is disabled, some is still compiled/linked in the build.

Not surprising that he jumped to that conclusion, considering the response they've gotten from the Mastodon community. Not only are people lobbying apps to hardcode bans to entire domains that aren't even live, they're plann

I think it's worth pointing out that the comment you replied to didn't mention money, advertising, or CTR. People are concerned about data collection for more reasons than that. You've seen these attempts and entire careers

Well yeah: It's a sub-reddit for supporters only. Not an uncommon thing on Reddit. Everyone can lurk, but only supporters can post/comment.

I don't think there are many subreddits that praise and love law enforcement more than the_donald. They used a Media Matters hit piece to censor and contain one of the most popular subs, for purely partisan reasons.

The subreddit moderators provided the admin logs, showing that on average, 1 post per day was actioned on by reddit admins. "Biggest headache" yeah, right.

There are going to be multiple good options based on Chromium that will not break extension compatibility. Brave Browser being the most well-known and polished, but there will be more.

Big difference. If you're tweeting stream of consciousness, it's one thought at a time, published and quickly beyond reach of editing, and you move on to the next thought. One could spend hours re-reading and editing a blog post

I really don't like how browser vendors have become extension gatekeepers, strongly discouraging any integration they disapprove of. I like what Gab has done with the Dissenter Browser (fork of Brave) after being removed from the Goog

It's actually not true, what Eich was talking about, w/r/t data collection, and Gab appreciated the feedback. Using a Google Font is not tracking, and the YouTube/other embeds which are a feature of the extension have b

I don't think Apple is too concerned about class action lawsuits over keyboards... They'll settle and pay a little cash, another entirely insignificant number.

by gfosco 8y ago
They're really the only entity who knows how widespread this is, and is financially incentivized to address it. Additionally, my employer has probably 30,000 of these keyboards in service and it's not a significant issue.

You can get signatures and file suits for almost anything, that's pretty meaningless. If it wasn't an insignificant percentage, they would've done something about it.
