Discourse exists and is free to self-host and open source. Compared to classic forum software (like most *bb variants) it is a pleasure to use and feels not like a remnant of a lost age.
The (only?) downside is the similar name to Discord, but that’s not them to blame, because they had their name first.
I think it is, because Siri is barely usable any more. Other solutions have shown how bad it is and everyone hopes real AI will make it better…
I recently listened to a story of someone in Berlin tracking his lost bikes (yes plural) using air tags. The police helped him because they were genuinely interested in the new possibilities to actually find stolen bikes. Before they just had no real chance to track any of the stolen goods and therefore weren’t able to help without relying on just heresay.
The funny thing is: This will work against them regarding the EU DMA regulations. If no one uses their offer it will not be interpreted as nobody wants to use it, but instead it will be interpreted as the offer was unfair.
Oh Tesla gets the Twitter treatment. At that rate it will be renamed X within the next 7 months. Better make sure X (formerly known as Twitter) has been terminated by then otherwise they have to sue each other…
I’m seeing this as not “just a prank”. If you read a bit about Scientology and their practices you might realize that this is potentially existential for the guy. And given the audience I wouldn’t want to have Scientology established as an organization you use for a prank. If he really was that bitter about it he should have sued the guy or - what a crazy thought - just let him be.
I’m not a native speaker, but you can easily just watch the primary source (the second glitter bomb video) and you will definitely spot the part I refer to.
Edit: I have rewritten my original comment to make it easier to understand. I hope it worked.
I haven’t watched any of his videos since the second glitter bomb video. He was looking for people setting up glitter bombs as a trap and sent one to to someone who never had the intention to do ao. As consequence he sent some embarrassing postcards to the person’s neighbors and claims to have submitted the address to Scientology recruitment.
Acknowledging that 8GB only delivers mediocre performance at best would upset anyone who already bought a device with only 8GB. And as later upgrades are not supported by Apple it would abandon these users like buyers of a 1st gen Apple device…
You are right. I misinterpreted the information on wiki page. Debian 8’s free LTS tier ended 2020 and the Extended LTS continues until 2025. Extended support is a paid service though and costs a lot more than a single Windows license. Microsoft offers a similar (also paid) service.
You can also upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 for free.
They did provide security updates for several years longer than any competitor. Even (or especially depending on your point of view) for a company like Microsoft a user shouldn’t expect updates indefinitely at least not for the normal retail price.
And to be clear: I also don’t want to blame any of the named Linux distros. I recently migrated an old CentOS 6 server and it was about time. Sure there were still some security updates but several software components hadn’t received updates for years and there were a lot of workarounds necessary to keep the thing in a somewhat decent and modern state.
For reference: Debian 6 which was the current release of Debian at the time Windows 10 was released hasn’t received official security patches 2016, CentOS 6.6 stopped receiving them 2022. Mac OS X Yosemite latest update was released 2017…
Out of curiosity: How do you start programs? If a program is clearly associated with a file by opening the file from explorer I assume, but there are programs which are not file based (web browser, games, …). Do you maintain a folder with shortcuts or do you navigate the start menu folder using the explorer?
That’s a reasonable decision. While passkeys are usually considered much safer than passwords they are not really common. It is mostly the big services (Google, Microsoft, eBay) which have implemented them. Also Bitwarden only supports them on desktop as they are currently working on mobile support. But this will change and as they follow a standard it will be no problem to log into apps with passkeys as the support widens.
It is a similar experience, but you don’t need any infrastructure for it. Everything is handled by your device.
Passkeys are a form of passwordless authentication. You store them in Bitwarden like regular passwords, but when you want to access a site that supports them (e.g. eBay) instead of asking for you password and autofilling or copy pasting it from Bitwarden your Bitwarden pops up and asks you if you want to login and it just happens (if you have multiple passkeys associated with a site you can select which you want to use). That’s it. No password fields which get autofilled and no password in your clipboard (history).
That is just not true. The DMA asks for bans on self-favoritism, regulations on data use and data interoperability to bans on discrimination and over all fair conditions. This far from without rules or terms.
I am wondering if it’s really true, that Spotify pays nothing to Apple. If my information is correct every app provider needs to have at least one active Apple Developer subscription (in the case of Spotify there is probably far more than just one account involved). If it is true that Spotify pays nothing to Apple the only possibility is that Apple invited them to bring their app to iOS and granted them free access.
I know 99 USD is not what Apple is after, but it seems dishonest to not disclose this.
This. If the file can be generated from the repository it should not be put inside it, but if you need it to build the project it should (unless it is an easy to install external dependency that should be declared in a Readme file).
