It's not really Firefox's task or problem to convert files from one format to the other, why would it be?

Alternatively, "I am your father, you piece of shit."

Additionally, console players will receive an automated refund - as per platform policy. Pre-orders will still be available, but you will need to purchase the game again to secure the pre-order bonus.

Wow, that must really hurt them. Kind of incredible to see a company do this.

Sorry, it's only possible in a FOSS client, they're way better..

I'm really loving the high-quality, modern journalism technique of checks notes basing an article entirely on what random people have said on social media.

There are virtual sound card drivers you can install.

Surely actual IT pros use uBlock origin?

That sounds like a weird argument, these billion-dollar companies know exactly what goes into their models. Give me a reason they wouldn't be able to disclose this if they were compelled.

Maybe they should pretend it's right next to the WMDs. I'm sure they'll find it then.

All this really demonstrates is the dangers of drawing conclusions when you don't really have the skills to properly assess the information presented to you.

Fuck me, ten years already?

So pronounced phone-tick?

Not really it seems. Steam has raised it to the MAX_INT - 5, Fedora originally planned to do so to but held off after concerns from engineers that it could lead to situations where having too much mapped would lead to the kernel killing other processes to solve OOM situations so they settled on the number that has now also been adapted by Arch. At least, according to another Phoronix article.

So this is the new thing then? Shamelessly stealing a funny comic by redrawing it with shitty AI which has none of the expressiveness?

As much as people like to delve into conspiratorial gossiping, making swooping statements about how Google and Amazon work together, there's often much simpler and more reasonable explanations.

For one, you are one of billions of people browsing both these sites today, it's bound to happen to some of you.

But what prompted you to look up the horses stuff? Sometimes it's an article, a social media post (reddit and Lemmy count), a radio segment, etc. That often leads a group of people to look up the same stuff en-masse.

Its also possible that you've visited other sites about horses that have put you in that cohort, where manufacturers have placed their own tracking pixels whose info they can supply to Amazon for targeting.

The reason why a Google / Amazon collaboration seems so unlikely is that they are competing. Not just at large, but in this specific case. Those recommendations you see on Amazon are ads too. People pay for them, and use specific targeting rules to find people to click on them. This is what both Amazon and Google sell, access to specific eyeballs (eg. males in their late 30's who have once shown interest in motorsports). This is their secret sauce. They'd be crazy to allow that information to flow to a competitor with their own ad platform.

I know this goes against the grain here, so feel free to downvote, but keep in mind that conjecture and wildly inaccurate gossip about what these giant companies do often muddies the waters and makes it much harder to attack them on the shady and downright evil stuff that they do do.

Excellent ruling. Scary times.

Because you, as a business owner, took that risk. Mortgage could have gone down too. It's not the renter's problem nor fault.

Either you misunderstand or the person you are responding to is. If you retroactively add a license to the current state of the code (for example by committing a new LICENSE file and adding the new license to the top of each file), or course that applies to the entire state of that code as of that commit. What is more difficult is that earlier commits won't have that license explicitly unless you rewrite git history to make that happen (which is possible but tedious).

You can always relicense code you own the rights to. You can even dual license it, or continue to use it commercially in terms contradicting the license you open sourced it as, as long as you have the permission of every contributor.

The idea that a license added would only apply to code added after the license change is very funny.

You may be a perfectionist who's so afraid of failure that it currently (rationally or irrationally) outweighs the motivation to succeed by a significant margin. You'd like to do some bigger things in life but you self-sabotage by distracting yourself because the thought of actually doing things is way too scary / stressful.

You jest, but I can somehow guarantee that Musk's response will be in the line of "We didn't want those people anyway."
