Not just license. You also need to link to it as a shared library and allow users to replace it with their own build of the library. Meaning you can’t use stuff like DRM and anticheats.

Dial the Gate. Series of interviews with people involved in making of Stargate TV show (not just actors bit people at every level). It’s over 200 episodes now.

Well GTK does not have theming anymore, though it still needs some way to configure fonts and icon theme.

Nah, this is patented by Sony.

Google-certified Android TV devices aren’t known to receive security updates either.

Does it really matter? It’s the usual corporate intrigues/power struggle/backstabbing/whatever. Just for some reason leaked into public view instead of being behind the scenes like it’s normally done, probably because someone is stupid.

Kaspersky is closely tied to Russian government. The dude himself (founder and CEO) has a government position as one of Putin’s advisors or something. Also he believes that anonymity should be purged from the internet, and every user should be personally indentified, enforced by the government. In the name of “security”, of course.

Low effort tickets are ignored because they are bullshit.

High effort tickets are ignored because devs are lazy and can’t be bothered to deal with complex and boring issues.

Well, at least that’s how I roll as an open source developer lol.

It’s still not enough time for KDE devs to fix all major issues with Wayland. It requires at least another two years in the oven.

I wonder if they consulted Plasma devs about it. Sure they said that they aim to make Wayland ready for Plasma 6, but it didn’t sound like it was an actual plan for 6.0. After all they got their hands full with Qt 6 porting, and there are still major roadblocks with completing Wayland support, while 6.0 is about to have its alpha release already.

Knowing Fedora devs however, I suspect they didn’t. They switched to Plasma Wayland by default several Fedora releases ago, when it was in no way ready. I guess I will switch to a different distro when this time comes.

Exynos Samsung batteries. Tensor is based on Exynos, and S23 has only Qualcomm variant. That’s why Pixel 7 drains battery faster than S23.

I don’t care about gaming performance on a phone, but battery life in Pixel 7 have been worse than in competitors like Galaxy S23.

Russia already has national root TLS certificate that’s must installed on all devices (basically government-mandated MITM). The next step is to start severely throttling (and optionally blocking) TLS connections that don’t use it. Some popular foreign sites like Google can remain functional by replacing their certificate at ISP level (all ISPs are already controlled by the government).

DLSS is upscaler. Game is rendered at lower resolution and then image is upscaled in a bit smarter way than simple “stretching”.

iPhone 15 Pro owners are using it wrong

They are personalised by the “bucket” that data collection companies like Google or Facebook placed you into based on profiling. Browsing and search history is only one of the factors that is taken into account when you are profiled, there are myriad more ways to collect data about you.
And then what ads you see is determined by what advertisers think your “bucket” wants. If you are male in your 20s living in rural USA and advertisers think that males in their 20s living in rural USA are interested in guns, then that’s what you will see - even if you never clicked on gun ad or searched for guns on Google.

Manned lunar lander is a mich complex piece of technology which needs to be developed from scratch. It also needs a much more powerful rocket which Russia don’t have either. It’s at least a decade of extra R&D time even if they get all the funding they need and magically get rid of corruption (which obviously won’t happen).

It’s unmanned not because they chose it but because they are literally incapable of making a manned mission (at the very least for a couple of generations).

It’s just projection of the hate for techbros (especially celebrities like Musk). Everything that techbros love (crypto, ai, space, etc) is hated automatically.
I.e. they don’t really hate AI. You can’t hate something if you have zero understanding what that something is. It’s just an expression of hate for someone who promotes that something.

Most people won’t even notice this exists because they use Chrome without extensions (and you can’t even install extension in Android’s Chrome).

I’m sure shit bags are someone’s kink too.
