It’s definitely higher than I was expecting, but nowhere near what Musk would want you to believe

That sounds expensive. They’d rather change the law. Again.

It’s definitely not the same because macOS has a lot of eye candy and background processes, especially if you have other apple devices. Still, it’s a lot better than windows

While this could be a good idea in theory, I guess in practice many people will be dishonest and just vote for whomever they wanted from the beginning

Of course there is! They could spend more money in PR campaigns and _bribes lobbying

FYI, the Factorio devs have stated that the game will never go on sale

I’m all in favour of prosecuting Google for it’s search monopoly, but Trump only cares about using the monopoly in his own favour

Given that neither twitch nor YouTube will let you, you should look at Owncast; but I don’t know about a particular server for that

I’m sure they understand the problems, and they understand that solving them would eat into their profits

I would go with the iPad 9 just because it has a more powerful chip (A13 Bionic) than the Air 3 (A12 Bionic). Performance wise they may not be too different, but you should be able to squeeze an extra year out of it.

It isn’t just paying to not use them. It’s about paying for nobody else to use them. The issue people interviewed point out is FOMO.

It’s like solar energy. You either absorb it with a panel, or it goes to “waste”. You’re not really stealing it from someone else, as long as you’re not getting too much in the way

Meta made a twitter clone when they had the chance, they’ll happily make a YouTube clone.

I don’t think Amazon or Microsoft are very interested in entering that market, but they are the only ones with the money and compute to support such a platform.

Maybe Netflix could be interested? But I doubt it

The nice thing about the fediverse is that you could start your own instance and not federate with them

Not really. While Microsoft can (and does) develop newer frameworks and features integrated into the OS that can break compatibility with existing versions of proton and wine, these changes wouldn’t affect existing games or games developed with the older frameworks.

And even if a new game is developed for these new incompatible frameworks, they will only remain incompatible until proton is patched to support them.

No.

1. I think that 75 is already too old, especially because they won’t let go of their positions until their terms end even after the “mandated” age of retirement (unless the law specifically forbids taking a position you won’t be able to complete)
2. Politicians will argue that this age is either too young or too old and will either never update this law, or update it so often it becomes meaningless.

An alternative could be to set the limit to a percentage of average life expectancy, or some other variable, so the law isn’t as easy to ignore or mess with, the law can remain unchanged for decades and remain relevant without adverse effects (hopefully), and politicians are encouraged to improve the quality of life.

Was she a Boeing whistleblower?

Oh, right, I misread the registration date, plus you obviously know more about it than me 😅

feddit.uk was registered last June, just like feddit.nl. Feddit.de was changed in August 2021. Unless the domains were transferred, feddit.de is the oldest

All the songs I have copied to iTunes get uploaded, but if you have the lossless versions they get converted to normal quality on other devices, or if you remove the local original copy.

Music doesn’t support flac, though, you have to convert them to alac first.

I also use a Mac, I don’t know if it’s different on windows
