Easier to just host an .ics file with all the events in some website and let everyone use whatever calendar app they like.

Good/bad content is the same whether it’s AI or not, plus those using AI would probably just lie and say it’s not AI.

It’s a stock deal. At $2.5 Trillion valuation I’d say this is chump change.

I guess more AI doesn’t mean more productivity. Who could’ve imagined?

If it’s already paid for might as well use them, what a waste of tax dollars. Or at least hit them with a bat and break them if you actually plan on not using them anymore. Covering them with plastic bags allows them to walk it back whenever they feel like it.

Using NearLink as a name for something networking related is a good way to make sure Huawei sends you a nice letter the second you get big enough.

If by “open registration” you mean that anybody with your domain name can just go and create an account with no extra verification, then that’s interesting. Good to know.

Element X requires MAS for registration by design, but login is whatever for now. They’re very adamant about making the app MAS-centric.

Also, open registration will get your instance banned from matrix.org homeserver afaik. Probably not an issue if you don’t plan to federate with them, but worth noting.

If you read the article you’d know it was the Megatron-led Decepticons.

On Matrix, as long as you have your username and password, it’s not possible to get “locked out” due to not having your keys. In fact, your keys are only necessary if you plan to participate in encrypted chats, in which case it’s obvious that losing your key will mean losing access to old messages. However, you will still be able to receive new messages by generating a new key.

According to people familiar with Microsoft’s plans

Might as well get your information from psychedelic mushrooms.

I use MediaMTX. You can stream to it with whatever (I use OBS). You could even publish it to a website behind an iframe.

Well, you obviously have never used BitLocker. The first thing they ask you when you activate BitLocker is to pick one of 3 options:

1. Link to Microsoft Account.

2. Save to a File

3. Print Recovery Key (so you can write it down on a piece of paper or whatever)

There’s no “railroading”. There’s plenty of real things to not like Microsoft. No need to make them up.

Microsoft only has your key if you give it to them for convenience (by syncing to your Microsoft account), and they’re required by law to give anything stored in their servers if asked. There’s no conspiracy here.

JavaScript would have prevented this.

Why would you do that when you can pull 50 JavaScript libraries and wrap it in Electron?

This is being done because PDF is adopting JPEG XL, so Chromium must support it since it doubles as a PDF reader.

You can’t get more legal than obtaining content directly from the rights holder. It’s more likely that the rights holder is leeching and recording the IP of the seeders.

Cloudflare can’t be forced to censor anything because CDNs are not actually needed by the internet, they’re just nice to have. The only place where they could actually do anything is in the registrar business, where any foul play would just result in de-accreditation by ICANN.

AWS, Azure, and Oracle do have too much power over the internet, but that’s a different scenario.

Why is Cloudflare bad for the internet?
