Not really, just some wording..?

My password manager supports passkeys just fine, across Windows, macOS, Linux and iOS (and probably Android but I haven't tried). Surprisingly, iOS integrates with the password manager so it's usable just like their own solution and it works across the system (not just in the browser).

This seems to be more about finding a standard way to export/import between different password managers/platforms?

Usually just an option in addition to a password + MFA. Or they just replace the MFA option and still require a password. I even saw some variants where it replaced the password but still required a MFA code. It's all over the place. Some providers artificially limit passkeys to certain (usually mobile) platforms.

There was a vulnerability in Project64 so a malicious ROM could escape outside of the emulator. So while unlikely, it's certainly possible.

Best case is that the model used to generate this content was originally trained by data from Wikipedia so it "just" generates a worse, hallucinated "variant" of the original information. Goes to show how stupid this idea is.

Imagine this in a loop: AI trained by Wikipedia that then alters content on Wikipedia, which in turn gets picked up by the next model trained. It would just get worse and worse, similar to how converting the same video over and over again yields continuously worse results.

I'll just quote @ulu_mulu@lemm.ee from the crosspost:

Not just clickbait, the title is maliciously wrong.

The article is about Apple holding developers conferences with cops with the purpose of developing apps tailored to them, there's nothing about users privacy.

A business trying to enter a new market, what a weird concept eh?

It's kind of in the word distribution, no? Distros package and ... distribute software.

Larger distros usually do a quite a bit of kernel work as well, and they often include bugfixes or other changes in their kernel that isn't in mainline or stable. Enterprise-grade distributions often backport hardware support from newer kernels into their older kernels. But even distros with close-to-latest kernels like Tumbleweed or Fedora do this to a certain extent. This isn't limited to the kernel and often extends to many other packages.

They also do a lot of (automated) testing, just look at openQA for example. That's a big part of the reason why Tumbleweed (relatively) rarely breaks. If all they did was collect an up-to-date version of every package they want to ship, it'd probably be permanently broken.

Also, saying they "just" update the desktop environment doesn't do it justice. DEs like KDE and GNOME are a lot more than just something that draws application windows on your screen. They come with userspace applications and frameworks. They introduce features like vastly improved HDR support (KDE 6.2, usually along with updates to Wayland etc.).

Some of the rolling (Tumbleweed) or more regular (Fedora) releases also push for more technical changes. Fedora dropped X11 by default on their KDE spin with v40, and will likely drop X11 with their default GNOME distro as well, now that GNOME no longer requires it even when running Wayland. Tumbleweed is actively pushing for great systemd-boot support, and while it's still experimental it's already in a decent state (not ready for prime time yet though).

Then, distros also integrate packages to work together. A good example of this is the built-in enabled-by-default snapshot system of Tumbleweed (you might've figured out that I'm a Tumbleweed user by now): it uses snapper to create btrfs snapshots on every zypper (package manager) system update, and not only can you rollback a running system, you can boot older snapshots directly from the grub2 or systemd-boot bootloader. You can replicate this on pretty much any distro (btrfs support is in the kernel, snapper is made by an openSUSE member but available for other distros etc.), but it's all integrated and ready to go out of the box. You don't have to configure your package manager to automatically create snapshots with snapper, the btrfs subvolume layout is already setup for you in a way that makes sense, you don't have to think about how you want to add these snapshots to your bootloader, etc.

So distros or their authors do a lot and their releases can be exciting in a way, but maybe not all of that excitement is directly user-facing.

Even at early bird pricing (39,-€) I'd rather get a cable that has the specs I need.

This seems to do a little bit more than simply list the specs (show shorted pins and whatnot), but it doesn't do any kind of load testing (tests like does sending 240 watts over the wire somehow interfere with the data transfer).

Most of the cables that I have lying around are USB 2.0 100 watts PD, as that's what most devices come with that have a cable in the box. For other cables I know what they're capable of because I read the spec sheet before purchasing them.

This might be useful to shops who sell refurbished phones that want to quickly check whether used USB-C cables are still good, but I don't see why anyone would want this for personal use.

Firefox + Kagi

He used old batteries, but I actually had new Duracell batteries with this feature very recently, in 2022 or so (Germany).

Malware could also reinstall it to be fair, or just create screenshots on its own.

Still smells fishy that Explorer has it as a dependency, "disabled" or not.

What do you mean by "option for remote"?

Passed openQA in Tumbleweed, so should be available with 20241007.

I waited for this so long that I eventually just played it on an emulator (that'll no longer receive updates). I somehow doubt that the experience will be much better with a new PC version. I played it at 3x internal render resolution and at 60 FPS.

The absolute scenes if this guy wins.

Yuzu devs and others be like "we could've easily won?".

(I know, not happening)

Exactly, and I'd rather devs focus their time on making sure their Windows version works well via Proton than using that same time for a half-assed native Linux version.

Ah, TIL.

What's "Google hardware"? Likely just NVIDIA hardware running in Google's cloud?

I'm coping for RDNA4.

In my experience, even when a game has a native Linux version, the Windows version run via Proton can often be the better choice.

In Tabletop Simulator, I wasn't able to join my friends' multiplayer sessions with the native Linux version. No problem with the Windows version via Proton.

The Linux version of Human Fall Flat isn't feature complete/outdated.

There are better examples though. Valheim runs fantastic aside from a bug that it picks the first instead of the default audio device for sound output on startup. It even supports mods and r2modman supports Linux as well.

Didn't have any problems with Spiritfarer either.
