Saying it’s “an interesting idea” makes it sound as if git wasn’t intended to be used like this from the start. But it was intentionally designed to allow posting patches to the Linux kernel mailing lists. It even has commands for producing email directly from the command line.

Sites like GitHub are the “idea”.

This was all pretty unrelatable. Makes me wonder if the author has ever studied how these methods are supposed to work.

But isn’t Servo funded by Mozilla

I’ve never gotten 'Hey Google" to work properly when the phone is locked. And my phone is always locked except when I’m already using it, in which case it’s just easier and less awkward to hold down the activation button.

Deadbeef is awesome. No nonsense and powerful features.

On Android I use Poweramp. Not open source or even free, but great UX and all the features I need, with every effort being made for the best sound quality.

Exactly. I don’t think it’s that there is “no hardware level support for dx11/9” - hardware isn’t that drastically different depending on API. The problem is that they introduce an additional software-based emulation layer instead of natively implementing D3D 8/9/10/11 in the driver.

Intel has great hardware in the Intel Arc. The biggest problem is their shitty drivers.

Well, that’s apparently for the courts to decide. In the meantime they have an executive order to contend with. Google has reclassified the U.S. as a “sensitive country” along with other authoritarian regimes and I’m convinced that this is partly out of concern for the safety of Google employees. Who knows what maga cultists might do if they don’t comply.

Obviously that’s not going to make one iota of difference. They’re an American company and they have been ordered by the president of the country to do this. They already do similar things in other authoritarian countries like China and Turkey, because anything else would risk the safety of Google employees.

If you don’t like it, change to a non-American product and/or vote for a different president.

X has an estimated market cap of $9.4 billion, whereas Nestlé has a market cap of $219 billion. That’s a corporate superpower with no qualms about monopolizing freshwater or bait- & switching breast milk formula from babies. And it’s just one of the companies they’re taking on, with a shitty case to boot. So yeah… if I was Elon I would keep my head down.

I have a better idea: a laptop screen that is legible on a sunny day
