The bigger issue is monetization. YouTube is popular in no small part because creators are trying to make money.

Calling RCS an industry standard is a bit… Questionable. Still, I’m happy to see Apple finally implementing it so there’s a good cross vendor texting implementation.

I wonder how this scales to large voice rooms.

Yeah… Even as a third party, I definitely have not been enjoying the smell when I’ve bumped into it. I don’t think it should be a criminal offense, but I hope we can move past “I need to light a thing on fire and just screw up the air for everyone in my vicinity.”

That’s really not even close to the optimistic scenario. It’s arguably not even in the pessimistic scenario if you’re not just in the “make stuff up club.”

We’re talking at most half a meter of rise by 2050, at most 2 meters by 2100, at most 4 meters by 2150. The intermediate projection is a third of a meter by 2050. The optimistic projection (which we’re not going to hit) is 3/20th of a meter.

Climate change is real. The risk of famine is real. The risk of global conflict is real. The risk of trying storms is real. However, “doomsday everybody dies” is not really on any serious projections. The worst case is “a lot of people in a lot of poor nations die and rich nations have more wars and more immigration.”

Very interesting. I changed my IO scheduler to kyber for unrelated issues… Maybe between that and the processing power (7950X + 7900 XTX)… my hangs were just sub second.

Hmm, I wonder if that was it. It didn’t really seem to have anything to do with menus though.

Crazy Justice.

I think I loaded it one time once it was “released into early access” and it was a completely empty game that was clearly unfinished then it never got updated. The developers disappeared entirely a while after that.

On top of that, it caused a bug in my steam inventory for years where there was this glitched tab or something like that until I finally found out I could have the game removed from my account and removed it.

While technically true, bridge is ultimately an IMAP server you run yourself … and they do have good reasons for this design.

Yeah this is either projection because they didn’t see the mainstream media doing it or an attempt to drive a wedge and create controversy where there shouldn’t be any.

Yeah, I have issues with random really poor frame times. I’ll be sitting at 144 FPS then get some frames that take 45ms to render each/severe stuttering.

I “fixed” it using the proton version of the game though I’ve heard some people say that doesn’t work with match making… Haven’t tried that yet.

I was thinking about trying the -vulkan launch option to see if that does anything if my proton install doesn’t work.

EDIT: They were right … VAC doesn’t work via Proton. I retried playing the native version and it seemed to run fine this time with or without -vulkan … so I’m not really sure what’s going on anymore.

Maybe some things have been fixed either on the Linux/Mesa or on the Valve side.

I have 0 interest in this guy’s takes.

He pushed an awful battle royale game that just took people’s money (including mine) and never actually launched.

He also once got into a Twitter argument with me when he posted about an open source developer being “selfish” or something like that for telling him “if you don’t like the readme, open a pull request with the changes you want made to it.” Long story short, I told him it wasn’t cool to make a post bullying an open source developer to donate more of their free time to something they didn’t want to do, and that they have every right to tell him “go do it yourself.” He blocked me.

Yeah, he runs a Linux gaming website, yeah he talks about games that run on Linux which is cool, but … make no mistake he doesn’t have some deeper journalistic insight. If Microsoft does forbid kernel level anticheat, that will indeed be a game changer.

Plex is moving in the app direction… So Plex is probably moving away from what you want despite being one of the easiest options.

It would probably be helpful to know what you’re trying to accomplish beyond “what”. Like, why do you want to host your music and play it via a web browser.

It’s a shame, back when they were wikia and just hosted mediawikis with light ads, it was actually a really nice service.

There are Ukrainian and Russian ties… AFAIK it’s used heavily on both sides of the conflict. The founder had some commentary as to why the stance they’ve taken is the stance they’ve taken.

His mother is also from Ukraine herself:

… and Pavel is a French / UAE citizen (as additionally demonstrated by the French government holding him for questioning). The “Telegram is a Russian puppet” arguments are fairly weak.

Their crypto is still AES it’s just the stuff around it that’s home brewed… And even then telegram has been around 10+ years now with no known breaches via the encryption.

That argument was a lot stronger years ago.

IIRC telegram does as well

So, the web uses a system called chain of trust. There are public keys stored in your system or browser that are used to validate the public keys given to you by various web sites.

Both letsencrypt and traditional SSL providers work because they have keys on your system in the appropriate place so as to deem them trustworthy.

All that to say, you’re always trusting a certificate authority on some level unless you’re doing self signed certificates… And then nobody trusts you.

The main advantage to a paid cert authority is a bit more flexibility and a fancier certificate for your website that also perhaps includes the business name.

Realistically… There’s not much of a benefit for the average website or even small business.

Even more so, FBI wants to know where the money grandma gave to get her pictures back from the ransomware went.

All this money tracking stuff AFAIK was originally more about organized crime than tax revenue.

I’d give up any and every gun point in favor of police reform, proper election and transition of power legislation, and climate change.
