My thought is, if this sort of problem was happening at a company as big and influential in the industry as Google, that's already pretty bad. The backlash may not be warranted either way but the other position (that everything is fine

If there really are attempts at standards that sound like roughly what I am describing, I am definitely interested in hearing about them, FWIW. All I am aware of is the W3C Payment Request API, which is definitely very interesting and in a

For the payment thing in particular, what I'd really like is if internet payments moved towards open standards. If my bank or credit provider was the one actually providing the "payment" part of the checkout flow, they could

Yep, good points. FWIW I do share roughly the same sentiment despite how I worded that last part of my post.

I think this is how it has been since the beginning of ELF in Linux. PT_INTERP comes from the original TIS specification of ELF and I think it was probably also in the original SVR4 ELF implementation. I understand why they went this route.

A tour guide for the U.S. definitely implies that you are going to see a variety of places in the U.S. That's implied by the word "tour" which means something roughly akin to "a journey through several different places&q

How exactly is that clickbait? You might not like it, but that doesn't make it clickbait. That's like saying it's clickbait to say Europe in a headline instead of Austria.

I think static executables will still be mostly loaded by the kernel; when you have a binary with PT_INTERP it will load that instead, but that executable still needs to be loaded in by the elf binfmt. Unless I just entirely missed what y

Given the use of the word "container" that seems to be using Linux namespacing rather than KVM. In case of containers, the isolation is provided solely by the Linux kernel, plus of course any additional defenses you add on top of

That really isn't unreasonable at all IMO, it's just that it might be hard to do with userspace syscall emulation, since graphical programs will likely need a lot more of the syscall surface. For X11 and Wayland, you'll need

You have a point, but I just think it's less intuitive for consumers. Manufacturers often don't even do direct sales, so the only "canonical" price is the MSRP, which is just that, a suggestion. Consumers go shopping at

No, you're right. Writing is very expressive; you can certainly get that feeling from observing how different people write, and stylometry gives objective evidence of this. If you mostly let AI write for you, you get a very specific st

That's correct AFAIK, but software like Plex and Jellyfin work just fine if you store your media on a separate machine. For the price gap between the Synology NAS and the UniFi UNAS you could buy a cheap machine to run some workloads o

At this point I'm not suggesting a boycott at all, I'm placing a vote of no confidence in Synology. There is no reason to believe they've had a "change of heart" on their mentality, they're not stopping due to

I honestly think continuing to buy Synology is likely a mistake: not only have they not even properly apologized for this insanely bad anti-consumer decision, it's merely one of many over the past few years. (I speak as an 1819+ owner.
