  • While that might be true, it doesn't look like The Verge was sponsored by any specific ebike company to write this article, since they never mention any specific brand.

    Edit: actually after scrolling down enough, they did interview people from some ebike company. Still doesn't look (too) sponsored

  • While she is of Jewish ancestry, she is not religiously observant.

    and then

    While welcoming the dialogue with Sheinbaum, members of the Jewish community do not consider her to be part of their ranks, in part because Sheinbaum herself has rejected any such connection. “Claudia has actively tried to say: ‘This is not me,” Schlosser said. “It must be respected when a person does not want to be identified in one way or another.”

    ... and more of that.

    Seems like this article is more preoccupied with her religion, which she clearly states is not a big part of who she is, rather than her policies, which I'd be more interested in hearing about.

    TL;DR: Your usual sensationalized headline.

  • that they look for a way to moderate cheating without just lazily requiring Windows in order to play online.

    I would avoid those kernel level malwares anticheat anyways, whether they're for Windows or if they port them to Linux ("to run this game, please load this kernel module"... no thanks).

  • If linux came preinstalled by default and vendor supported, regular people would use linux as well. Usability is actually pretty good these days, arguably higher than Windows since you don’t have to deal with this BS.

    Yes, you can buy Dell laptops with Ubuntu preinstalled and supported, maybe Lenovos, not sure, but it's not the default, available only on custom builds online and on business (expensive) laptops, so most regular people don't bother.

    Edit: well, there's the SteamDeck as an example of mainstream vendor supported system with linux, I guess. Some people go through the trouble of installing Windows on it, but most people don't bother and stick to what it came with.

  • My point is, since its meaning depends on the context, I don't see the issue for it to mean, in the context of containers, "outside of a container". Just like in the case of VMs, or OS vs No OS, it means there's one fewer layer between the app and the hardware, whether that's a VM, Container runtime, or the OS.

    I'm pretty sure everybody, including you, understood its meaning in this context, it didn't really cause any misunderstanding.

  • That's only the meaning you're used to, and that's my point. It depends on the context. I can assure you that, in the context of microcontrollers, for example, "bare metal" means running without an OS.

  • The first one was a genuine bug, the second a malicions backdoor. The only common thing is they are both open source projects. I agree with having more oversight and funding on critical open source software, but suggesting that these two vulnerabilities are the same in some way is a bit of a stretch.

  • While Google is hardly privacy-respecting and ad-free, I guess the fact it can be more easily customized is a plus, maybe I should consider it for the future. After all, that's the same reason I stick with Android.

    Can GoogleTV be rooted like android can, preferably without resorting to hacks, like in some android phones where the bootloader is unlockable?
