  • No reason given?

    • The FTC is reportedly looking into Microsoft’s $13 billion OpenAI investment

    Jump

  • I can't imagine any law that would preclude the status quo, as Microsoft doesn't own a controlling stake in OpenAI anyway. It sounds like the FTC is picking its targets based on market cap only.

    • The FTC is reportedly looking into Microsoft’s $13 billion OpenAI investment

    Jump

  • The FTC tried & failed. They'll most likely fail here too. It's tough for courts to rule against what the FTC sees as unfair competition when even the judges are likely Amazon Prime & Big 3 ecosystem subscribers.

  • what's my best bet for a set & forget situation?

    Deploy WingetUI and set it to automatically update everything as administrator. The nice thing about this solution is it scales to whatever 3rd party apps the user installs in the future.

    It's about as close as you'll get to Debian's venerable automatic-upgrades on Windows.

    • BBC News presenter Maryam Moshiri apologizes after flipping the middle finger live on air

    Jump

  • That's classic British humor.

    • Questions regarding moderating and the LW age restriction

    Jump

  • You don't have to go looking for evidence, but I think you're within your rights to ban any underage interactors you know of.

    • New research undercuts Republican views of racism

    Jump

  • Research: it still exists.

    • [SOLVED] Automated local folder move/sync actions?

    Jump

  • I use Termux + Tasker for this exact functionality. I can provide the scripts and setup to anyone who's interested.

    • Techrights — The Effort to Silence (Squash) GNU/Linux Advocates and Press Coverage

    Jump

  • I used to subscribe to this blog. The takes were so bad I'd deliberately share the links the author was railing against.

    • Vladimir Putin to run for Russian president again in March 2024

    Jump

  • To no one's surprise.

    • FDA Approves World’s First Crispr Gene-Editing Drug for Sickle-Cell Disease | Landmark decision heralds a new type of medicine that can tackle genetic conditions that are hard to treat

    Jump

  • Great news for folks in Jamaica where I'm from. Pretty common there.

    • Biden heads to Las Vegas to showcase $8.2B for 10 major rail projects around the country

    Jump

  • Still waiting on the Moline to Chicago rail line 😔

    • Switching from Linux Mint to OpenSuSE Tumbleweed very soon. Any advice?

    Jump

  • Yeah I wasn't referring to those.

    • Beeper Mini’s iMessage app for Android is broken, possibly by Apple

    Jump

  • to stop using it you have to de-register your phone number from iCloud.

    Ah, TIL. I was wondering that. I'll avoid it then.

    • No Man's Sky fans playfully plead with Hello Games not to "overpromise" as lead dev describes new game Light No Fire as "the first real open world"

    Jump

  • LOL here we go again.

    • Dev behind massive Skyrim multiplayer mod turns their hands to Starfield, gives up because "this game is f***ing trash," uploads everything for someone else to finish

    Jump

  • I've seen plenty of other mods and that's just 1 person's opinion.

    I will say, though: Microsoft are not a content company and never have been. So gaming isn't their core strength.

    BTW: I own both an XSX and a PS5, so I don't have an axe to grind.

    • Developers blast the celeb-laden Game Awards as 'an embarrassing indictment of a segment of the industry desperate for validation… with little respect for the devs'

    Jump

  • Unfortunately no one cares about game devs.

    • Beeper Mini’s iMessage app for Android is broken, possibly by Apple

    Jump

  • Yeah I was wondering how they were pulling that off without registering the phone number or iCloud account with Apple. Thanks @BearOfaTime@lemm.ee for the explanation.

    In any case, this also shows that iMessage can be spoofed.

    • Switching from Linux Mint to OpenSuSE Tumbleweed very soon. Any advice?

    Jump

  • Hence why I'm leaving the Debian / Ubuntu based distros

    Ubuntu non-LTS packages are pretty up to date.

    • Amazon broke federal labor law by calling Staten Island union organizers 'thugs,' interrogating workers

    Jump

  • Can anyone find any instance of interrogation in the body of the article?
