Never seen it at all.. I presume it's only some users currently.

You know which site you're getting it from..check the SSL certificate and that's enough. If an official site got breached it'd be found out pretty quickly.

They lost them automatically already.. they're simply not getting them back from the new king. I'm not sure why they're so shocked..

Any company that, as they claim, needs that approval to survive didn't have much of a product to start with.

It's bad practice to stay in a root shell because it's easy to screw up and break something. That's why sudo exists.. you only run something privileged if it absolutely has to.

It's part of Play services, so most phones will get it.

Or a fine of 6% of global revenue, which isn't small.

You have to murder the other participants to claim your free netflix subscription.

I'm in my mid 50s now and I haven't got more racist.. I've got angrier that things that were wrong in my youth are still wrong now, angrier at politicians that claim to represent me spouting racist bullshit. But if anything I'm more left wing than I was, and I'm definitely more liberal than I was 10 years ago.

It's built into the OS since apple and google agreed common standards for tag detection.

The google compatible tags (which aren't launched yet, possibly because of stuff like this) will be detected by apple devices too.

If you want to experiment with UEFI you don't need systemd-boot either, just create an efi bootable kernel and direct boot it. reFind is still around I think too for graphical boot (although that's mainly used by macs.. apple users like guis :p).

You can use a decimal number as well. It's rare to see that form of URL though.

I made mine deliberately incompatible by disabling the fTPM but started getting the upgrade prompts recently.

They're getting there with windows 11.. first it was 'hey you're compatible with windows 11' now they've stepped up to a full screen non-skippable screen a big 'upgrade to windows 11' but still with a button to stay on windows 10 hidden in the corner. It's only a matter of time before that button disappears.

It's shown itself with the latest kerfuffle.. the discussions (apart from the occasional nutter) haven't devolved into people calling each other nazis yet. In fact some have been positively educational.

It's never really been an accurate measure.. it's a hard thing to do, since federation is so loose. The estimate varies between 10m and 14m users currently (I presume 'active' users is based on posts).

You'd think that, but that's pretty much what X has been doing all along..

2.1 is ancient.

A heck of a lot of old stuff has been deprecated in the intervening years.. it's possible your drivers don't support emulating that old.. although I'd found most can still do 1.x (because it was relatively simple, fixed pipeline).

TBH though if you're writing anything new I'd start with vulkan, as it's really the next gen and nowadays supported everywhere.

Al Jazeera has people reporting from the palestinian side, so it is possible.. Actual details, obviously neither side is going to leak.. we'll be fed propoganda from both sides until it's over and probably after too.

We got offered 4 day weeks.. most people didn't take it although I note a couple did as they're not around on Fridays any more.

I have enough work to do without compressing it into less time..

Well yes, but that stuff contained hydrazine. It's not that sensationalist.

I'm just surprised the people making it didn't get jail time.
