Damn Google be speed running how quickly they can make me replace all their services. Google Maps and Youtube are about the only 2 I still use.

Researchers were able to clone a user’s entire Signal session by copying the local storage directory, allowing them to access the chat history on a separate device

This has actually been useful for me in the past when reinstalling my OS lmao. In an ideal world we could reverify by entering a code from our phones to unlock the desktop local storage after moving it. My biggest wish for Signal is more seamless message history movement across devices and ecosystems. Fuck even proper back ups would be nice.

I think there’s a little more at play than just not reading it lol

Loading screens got shorter as tech improved. Now tech is too fast for proper ads so I bet there’s going to be intentional delay time added in the future for more ad impressions.

Isn’t Netflix exempt from these fees too? Or do they just not allow you to sign up in app and redirect to a browser?

Well didn’t they initially want carriers implementing RCS with interoperability between each other to sunset sms? But that didn’t quite pan out. IIRC there was a time when Verizon had a limited number of devices that supported RCS but only on their network, similar story with Bell in Canada. Hell at one point even Samsung had RCS but only with other Samsung phones. Fragmentation was rampant so Google took matters into their own hands. Not saying I’m happy Googles at the helm but they didn’t start out with that intention.

In theory, sure. But, realistically I can’t picture an economically feasible way to transport it.

Give it a break. To the average user that’s like using a bazooka to hunt deer. I love Linux but Windows has its place for most people and will for many years to come.

Can someone point out what kind of actual benefit reddits stands to gain from this? Although there are many, many, MANY things they’ve done in the past that are unpopular, I’ve been able to understand why they did it even though it sucked for end users. This one just seems dumb though. Since their shitty API changes 99.9% of my reddit traffic is from search sending me there. Hell there’s people that have only used reddit as a search resource and nothing more.

I’m pretty Linus has said on the wan show before that they intentionally didn’t partner with twitch because of this and that’s why they’ve always simulcasted. It may have changed since though.

Right? They try to make us the product by hard baking invasive telemetry into windows. Then want us to pay for it too? Nawh.

I refuse to let companies take ownership of letters. They already have everything else.

Bootlicker.

Personally, I have bigger issues with this.

Gas pumps have had canopies for as long as I can remember. This should be expected.

Did you try reinstalling pipewire audio?

Zoomer here, tiktok should be banned.

To be fair that could be a lot worse. I was expecting injected webpage content. I think this is acceptable and serves as a quick way to compare multiple sources. I dislike that it’s Microsoft more than I do the actual “feature”.

Actually it’s absolutely realistic and fair. I don’t like Musk, or Tesla for that matter. But they make it pretty damn clear that you’re 100% responsible for the vehicle when using that feature. Anyone who assumes they don’t need to pay attention is a moron and should be held responsible. If a 747 autopilot system starts telling the pilot to take control of the plane and they don’t… we wouldn’t blame the manufacturer, we’d blame the shitty pilot that didn’t do their job.
