That’s true from our perspective, but not from someone like Cory’s.

The trap he writes about being stuck on these platforms is because he doesn’t just have friends and people he follows on these platforms — he has an audience. And closing his Twitter or Facebook or whatever would mean leaving large audiences that he has built up behind.

Cory stays on those platforms as his own version of the (justifiable, but regretful) compromise he writes about companies making. Better to stay on those shitty platforms and continue to reach people than abandon both the shitty platforms and his audiences there.

That’s why he doesn’t want to put effort into building an audience somewhere that might force him into the same compromise again.

Sprint was not a splinter of ATT.

The case likely began (as an investigation) while Trump was still in office. Here’s hoping it can continue.

I wonder if this gives them the rights to all of Infowars’ library of footage. Maybe they could “keep” Jones as a host by cutting up old clips kinda how South Park did with Isaac Hayes for Chef’s last episode.

I swear everytime Twitch updates their policies for clarity, they just get even more confusing.

For using onenote in Linux, I just made an app out of the web version in Epiphany/GNOME Web. It’s not as smooth as a real app, but it’s functional. I expect you could do it with Chromium too.

Sounds like it’s something Apple could easily kill by changing something in the protocol that would require it to be re-reverse engineered.

This is the type of processor companies want in things like VM servers that host large numbers of VMs.

GPU processing units are really good at only specific kinds of computation. These are still all-around processors.

Non-competes aren’t a thing in California. OpenAI obviously own the IP, but that doesn’t mean an investor like MS wouldn’t have enough rights to effectively take it and build from it.

Altman and Brockman were the founding leadership of the company/organization and many of these employees are “rockstar” researchers. They wanted to be a part of what they were leading — so it makes sense they still would even if it’s under Microsoft.

The Chagos Refugees are seeking repatriation of the .io domain name and fees. They likely don’t want people to stop using that domain unless they lose that case.

I’m not going so far as to say I’d switch – but I’d certainly get an iPhone and give it a try if it had sideloading/other app stores allowed (which in turn would allow other browser engines, since that’s a store limitation). Would love to see an F-Droid equivalent for iOS start up.

Right, I said Warner has Max for their streaming service.

Comcast has mostly moved over to using Peacock already, I think. Warner Bros is also separated with Max. And of course Amazon/MGM is doing their own thing as well.

Unless this is an indictment of the charging infrastructure build out (in which case — fair), this doesn’t make sense. You don’t scale back after early adoption — you scale up to mass market.

The US makers scaling back could seriously hamper EV growth now that EV tax credits require assembly in the US. Sounds to me like they need more regulatory incentive to make the production switch.

Nvidia’s ARM play has always been primarily in AI and vehicles. Tegra has a number of successors — just not in consumer devices.

• chromium (backed up by Google, sucking big money)
• blink (baked up by apple, with big money too)

Blink = Chromium. WebKit is what Apple uses (and is what Blink was originally forked from).

They have the app on f-droid too

Doesn’t appear to be the case - https://search.f-droid.org/?q=grayjay&lang=en

I don’t think they can be on F-Droid with the license they use.

Google doesn’t do anything with Firefox except pay them for searches and to be the default search upon install — which takes 2 seconds to change if you want to.

I could see them releasing hardware that’s tied to a subscription that Windows would track, perhaps, or offering subscription as a payment model for Windows.

You’re right, though I can’t see a straight migration to subscription-only happening. They haven’t even gotten Office to subscription-only yet, despite their wish to.
