Not to mention that one of the major issues in that debate (for the supposedly "centrist" party) was abortion rights - even though most of her views on the topic were fairly in line with other sitting judges. It's now alleged

Safari is not a good browser, by design, because it's in Apple's interest to cripple the Web as a platform. If they want their browser to be actually competitive instead of forcing people to use it, they should make a good browser

Most C# libraries I use are outdated, crappy and do just a little less than what I need. Also, most Rust libraries I try to use are outdated, crappy and do just a little less than what I need. Maybe what I need is niche but my experience is

Apple famously does this with this word soup in their SMC chips, and proceeded to bankrupt a company that sold Hackintoshes and shipped it in their EFI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psystar_Corporation Our hard

Valve actually ships "stable ABI" Linux runtimes that Linux games and Proton are built against, so that they don't have to rely on distribution packages, similarly to Flatpak. They renew them every few years but they stay sta

I can't tell you if that is actually the case here but most private Win32 API is actually public API since so many things are using it anyways. They never drew the line there and a lot of people go "well, they never changed this i

...what use is "donating" back to the standard if you don't adopt the standard, practically preventing its adoption through your position in the market?

Not sure if you've made this experience yet, but the one thing I've learned about being an involved maintainer of a sizeable open source project is that it's mostly about communicating. You'll be talking to a lot of peop

Most commercial engines that use libraries like havok will wrap them in some sort of internal library like this one to shield themselves from types from the middleware leaking into engine code, implementing convenience wrappers, and making

They haven't had proper PR since the end of 2023. They don't respond, if it blows up you might get an one-liner Elon tweet.

Maybe they should be repulsed, considering all of the journalists that are getting persecuted and/or murdered because they are getting pwned through iMessage serialization bugs :)

Sorry to be off-topic, but I'm disappointed in this being on X, it even comes with an ad built-in. We should be doing better. Spinning up a single-site blog is easier than ever for technically-minded folks - the internet needs to becom

That is what strikes are by definition, yes. It doesn't just seem like it. There is no other weapon workers can wield if they don't have a legal basis to make leadership meet their demands. Obviously this can backfire in countries

No, that's just plain wrong in this case. It makes proper security research much harder and what's going on with your hardware less obvious.

It's ubiquitous. It's the only way people listen to music - there's nothing else, bar the few nerds that still have their fb2k library or vinyl collection. I think it's easy for people to forget that having legal, instan

I think you just described the fediverse. The naysayers want you use to use the fediverse instead of centralized crypto stuff.

You are seeing the first two as "concluded"? Apple is known for playing long games, especially now that they need to be careful due to threats of regulation, and studies about long COVID take a long time - we really don't hav

2-ton blocks of metal that go 80mph next to me on the highway is not the place I would want people to go "fuck it let's just do it" with their new tech. Human drivers might be dangerous but adding more danger and unpredictabi

Not sure what hardware you are doing this on, but installing Fedora 40 on my mid-range gaming PC from 2022 last month got me flickering windows (it only ships with a Wayland session) and broken sound out of the box. My screens still don&#x

You should look into what a kernel driver is. You can panic a Linux kernel with 2 lines of code just as you can panic a Windows kernel, they just got lucky that this fault didn't occur in their Linux version. And to be honest, I don&#x

Android isn't in a similar boat, AOSP has full isolated Multi-User support that is realized through Unix users. You can create new users through Settings and they have their own home screen, apps and files. Most vendors have this enabl

They are falling into the hole of adding products on top of products, while their core apps are decaying. Please. Fix. The. Android app! It's unusable. I feel like I beg for them to do this in every yearly survey, and then they change

FFXIV just added a lottery and zoning rules, which IMO are the most boring ways to fix it. Arguably it came with the expected trade-offs zoning laws have in real-life, in that zones intended for their equivalent of guilds are often empty&#x

Wow, those RedHat guys in the gitlab tickets and commit descriptions related to this are insufferable. Is this what happens when you get paid for open source work?
