It is the same for Crates.io and PyPI they also supply scripts without asking the user so opening an IDE will run them. For PyPI you need to even execute scripts to discover the dependencies!

Your signals are not only used to advertise to you but people like you and people who know you.

Whatsapp became successful by being cheaper than SMSes in Europe. But yeah people probably switch to the next convenient app.

Or even if you block all ads, the statistical value of your data is still important for showing ads to people like you and people around you.

Whatsapp wasn't owned by Facebook at the time..

Whatsapp metadata is one of the strongest signals about you. Your friends and family and your patterns of texting tells quite a bit information about you.

Yup, CE is self-declatory. To prove it, you need to actually check the documentation from the manufacturer's web page. Usually there are numbers for individual tests on the product.

There is a conspiracy theory for everyone it seems, even for the educated. No there is no "legitimate" Chinese-mandated CE that can ever be allowed in EU. It would completely destroy the trade relationship and cause Chinese underw

Nobody criticizes people making AI slop for their own amusement. Nobody said anything for DALL-E generated random stuff. Similarly nobody cared about people's GeoCities pages. People care about when AI is forced in production workloads

The issue with small players like Fairphone is that they rely on external ODMs to develop their hardware and basic software. They do get some IP rights but they actually lack the engineering manpower to actually maintain software. ODMs usua

Google knows and wants that there is no oversight. Don't do business with any big tech, if you don't want this kind of incidents.

aaand many Cargo packages do use it, right now. It became an inseparable part of Rust ecosystem. You cannot build any embedded program or something slightly complex (omg Protobufs!) without build.rs. Not just your own program but all of you

It is not about not teaching them, I am co-graduated with many people who do YOLO JS and AI slop right now. They had to pass the same architecture and microprocessor programming lectures. Educated or not, there are many programmers who simp

Yes. However gamers are not businesses who operate on cost minimization (especially employee cost minimization) that made SaaS possible. The existing purely subscription games do not have the same amount of customers/players as the one

Law systems contain open-ended clauses and lawsuits analyze the intent. If you make your game free, just 2 months prior or even after selling it, just telling that you made it "free" will harm you more in the lawsuits due to obvio

And most of the indie publishers usually comply with the law by not fucking over their customers by providing independent server executables or not releasing a server-tied game. AAA studios are the biggest offenders and they deserve to be f

Your argument still doesn't hold, sorry. The law won't apply retroactively so the existing games can be killed. However, if the law passes, the EOL plan just becomes another product requirement you have to plan for. So you won&#x2

Anything between 700 and 2000 series (inclusive) is in this "completely proprietary due to signed firmware but also not fully supported in Wayland" zone. You need to have at least 3000 series to have proprietary drivers with open

This can only be true for consumer-grade stuff. Even then I just guess the manufacturers kind of cheap out. I have a dumb-ish Samsung Hotel TV / commercial TV at home. It has DP.

I actually have seen this in my current company. Many developers switched browsers away from Firefox. Some even switched to Edge since it plays better with the battery. I know early adopters of Brave from its early years too. When things ge

Both are true. Firefox is losing ground because of multiple reasons It is slower compared to Chromium ones. It is not only slower but more power hungry on mobile phones. Its sandboxing is worse than Chromium. It is less configurable for ch

The thing is, you can control a neighborhood, a country etc. from attackers and establish control over violence. How can we do that, if we would like to preserve relative anonymity and global nature of the internet? People can indeed form c

Source code is only useful when you want the actual product, which is the rare case. Most of the time they want the patents, naming rights or just customers.

Democracy is the style of ruling where majority's ignorance dominates over the vulnerable. You will be eventually forced to use internet and forced to use the way your government wants you to use it.

You can always populate .init_array section with a hidden constructor. It would work just like ifunc and would always execute at shared library load time.

You can also use most of the core components (labels, buttons, grid views, image and media players) with LGPL in commercial apps. Only the more complex and more value-adding components like charts are GPL.

I'm not defending this but there was (or has been) enough political motivation and intentionality in GNU/Linux systems to make binary compatibility a hassle. People actually made decisions against backwards compatible APIs, intend

Unfortunately our economic system is a ponzi scheme that requires having children while constantly putting them into deeper and deeper debt. It will eventually collapse and take VWCE with it.
