I've used Matrix since the app was called Riot.im and there was no encryption

I didn't realize once encryption was added, that there were still metadata leaks as compared to Signal

Could you give me some information on what metadata is unencrypted, or point me towards documentation about that?

For historical info - Oracle bought OpenOffice and started to close it down, so all the developers that worked on it forked it into LibreOffice

Oracle has since given OpenOffice to an open source group, Apache, but the main development still happens on LibreOffice

I have fond memories of playing it as a comedy game back when the Radeon RX 480 came out

There was a bug with the shaders in this game, so all the walls and many floors were rainbows 😂

Yeah. The crowd rooting for Qualcomm has never worked with them

ARM has it's problems, but they aren't in the wrong here

Is that how you think about your bills?

"Your rent can be paid on the 10th, and you can pay late up to the 31st"

Every carrier lets you use an unlocked phone on their network

T-Mobile no longer lets you buy unlocked phones from them

If this is normally only used for full screen 3D, would there be a way to enable it only on fullscreen, a. la. the old unredirect full screen windows in X11?

All of the security features mentioned in the article even started from work done by GrapheneOS - they're simply upstreamed now

Microsoft has agreed to purchase all of the power from the reactor over the next 20 year

The original reporting sounded decent - Microsoft was spinning up a decommissioned reactor, everyone wins

This new reporting of they can't afford it makes it seem like a bad idea in its entirety

Ironic timing https://christianselig.com/2024/10/juno-removed/

I agree it's dumb, but I'm also trying to understand how politicians think changing the tax rate for healthier or less healthy foods can possibly affect behavior in the USA when it's set up this way in stores

There's some evidence it somehow works https://publichealth.berkeley.edu/news-media/research-highlights/do-soda-taxes-work

But I've never known what I'll be taxed on a specific item

My belief that it's intended to incentivize behavior is from talks about things like the "soda tax," where some goods are taxed at a different rate to try to reduce consumption

I don't understand how they can be effective when you don't see the price on the sticker, though

I mean, it's internally consistent with the inbetween too, for the first three:

They went Xbox, did a 360 to face the same direction, and re-released the Xbox 1

If your speedometer/tachometer is a screen instead of dials, it's extremely likely it's running Linux, too

So still somewhat useful in the auto space

All the "portless iPhone" rumors have seemed unlikely because of DFU mode.

If they can now enter DFU wirelessly from the initial bootloader in silicon, they might actually be close to a portless iPhone

My assumption is baseball

AAA is the best you can get in minor leagues before you move to the major leagues

And like the top level comment stated, it's on Brazil to block Twitter in their corner of the internet. That's why their 20,000 ISPs are scrambling to block it - not Twitter

I was all in on GOG 10-12 years ago when they said they were working on Linux support "soon"

After so many years of promises and no action, while Valve pays developers to improve Linux gaming, I'd rather buy from Steam

Prices tend to be similar between the platforms here, though

I... I know they made colorful iMacs... But... What was the marketing idea behind this ad?

What did they mean by "No artificial colors" for a computer...?

It's not just betas - it's in the main release, too
