That's weird because it's against the law.

A recent (few months ago) EU law mandates that if your platform is big enough (in the EU market) to gatekeep users from using other platforms, then it must interoperate with competing services. That means you should thrive because you make a better product, and not because it has more users.

The fine is a considerable percentage of the company's earnings, that supposedly even the likes of Amazon and Google cannot overlook.

This includes Whatsapp that in a few months will have to be interoperable with competing services like telegram. This requires a protocol, the IETF is working on that. Google probably wishes to use RCS, but Matrix is also working with the IETF.

Apple says iMessage is not that widespread in the EU and should not be included, Google says it is and should be regulated, that's because this regulation will most likely have effects even outside the EU.

If it's the flatpak version, try the package manager one. The one on flathub didn't integrate very well and only really worked for steam games.

It's bean some time

This image is very old, since before accessible generative AI. It's probably been AI upscaled/improved. Notice how the headline is also borked

This research challenges the standard argument that the mere existence of a product implies positive welfare for its users.

I know this probably means something I don't understand, but it feels so stupid... Like, what about asbestos?

Solar are LEDs. But instead of putting electricity into that light comes out, you push the light in to get electricity out.

You are correct in saying that there are still several problems in both Wayland (e.g. lack of drawing tablet support) and mutter (e.g. tearing protocol non yet implemented). But then you proceed to list problems that are Nvidia's fault.

The first is weird, but it probably depends on Nvidia's kernel driver.

The second is probably a synchronization issue, so it's probably due to Nvidia refusing to implement implicit sync, and explicit sync not being yet supported in Linux. But don't quote me on that.

Vulkan should work. But video acceleration is definitely absent, and is listed by Nvidia itself among current driver limitations. Try this.

But he's using a model M, not a symbolics space cadet. Totally inaccurate

I'm average. Because that's most likely

What you are looking for is called specialization.

It is currently unstable and incomplete, which means you can activate it by adding the macros #![feature(specialization)] and #![allow(incomplete_features)] at the beginning of the file. But you have no guarantee that it will work the same way on the next version of rust.

This act has been in the making for quite a while, and was even delayed. These companies have had plenty of time to prepare for what's coming.

Also, big companies don't deserve whining. It's hard to adjust to new regulations? Too fucking bad! Now pay your fine

FFS! I'm glad I'm not the only one

You mean a cheese royal?

The common audio chips have lots of input/output pins (for complex surround systems), most of the pins are disabled but you can see them on stuff like hdajackretask. I can see that in my case they are on two separate outputs.

On a sidenote, on some systems the manufacturer doesn't enable some unused pins on the OS side, but leaves them enabled on firmware, which can cause problems. So you can use this kind of software to disable them yourself.

From pavucontrol I can't select the interfaces independently (it's what I used to enable pro audio). And Carla uses jack, so no luck with jack either

That, and this https://www.oracle.com/news/announcement/blog/keep-linux-open-and-free-2023-07-10/

Wait, so it's a girl, I assumed that was a boy
