Where are they leaving/going to?

There different kinds of AI and some run just fine locally or even on mobile. Not everything is a big LLM.

for non-chinese

or for Chinese that don’t want to be censored?

Most platforms have some kind of moderation. But I’m sure a Chinese platform will be quite selective about a particular set of topics and themes.

Xitter had a very sharp worsening as a platform, and yet, somehow, still remains very relevant.

Quoting the quote from the article (so it’s more obvious and accessible here):

The Indie Game Awards have a hard stance on the use of gen AI throughout the nomination process and during the ceremony itself. When it was submitted for consideration, a representative of Sandfall Interactive agreed that no gen AI was used in the development of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. In light of Sandfall Interactive confirming the use of gen AI art in production on the day of the Indie Game Awards 2025 premiere, this does disqualify Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from its nomination. While the assets in question were patched out and it is a wonderful game, it does go against the regulations we have in place. As a result, the IGAs nomination committee has agreed to officially retract both the Debut Game and Game of the Year awards.

I didn’t even think of full-screen applications having to relayout. It’s not like every screen is the same size or dimension, either. I guess it could be what they were referring to.

I had no idea the 50 years after death was the “minimum” and some countries add more years :O

/edit: I was a bit confused about the +50 list listing European countries, but the text saying something different.

In most countries of Africa and Asia, as well as Belarus, Bolivia, New Zealand and Uruguay; a work enters the public domain 50 years after the creator’s death.

In Bangladesh, India, and Venezuela a work enters the public domain 60 years after the creator’s death.

With the exception of Belarus (Life + 50 years) and Spain (which has a copyright term of Life + 80 years for creators that died before 1987), a work enters the public domain in Europe 70 years after the creator’s death, if it was published during the creator’s lifetime.

Under the Copyright Term Extension Act, books published in 1930, films released in 1930, and other works published in 1930, will enter the public domain in 2026.

Why would applications have to consider relayouting? Isn’t that entirely in the hand of the Windows taskbar?

It shows the window groups, windows, pops over previews of windows or tabs in a consistent style, presumably owned by the taskbar itself. At no point do applications themselves control their positions or size in the taskbar or the taskbar popovers.

The taskbar items can’t have a constant width. Your whole taskbar layout changes when you change a tab in Firefox. You have to open a set of programs from right to left, because any other order will change the positions of the items you want to click.

When not combining windows, in Windows 10 you could order them to your preference and usefulness. Now, you’re stuck. Even when not combined, the items are combined in one block, and you can’t order them within the block either.

I guess they’re not taking their big cut on app revenue to offer a good neutral platform.

How can they justify 100|300/year + 30% if not with a moderated neutral platform?

That’s only musk though. Hardly “was undeniable fact”.

Remember when it was an undeniable fact that most cars would be driving entirely by themselves by now?

They fear falling behind other browsers and losing users because of it.

They see AI prevalence and see it as an opportunity to profile and position Mozilla as a leader in “ethical ai”.

They see AI use cases and success and think they have to integrate it to have additional, useful, significant features.

Unfortunately, it’s proprietary licensed. I was wondering if there was an opportunity for protest use, but that’s difficult with restricted licenses.

I was confused by seeing DisplayLink there, but couldn’t fully place them, and Wikipedia made me think they may be using HDMI and have an interest in keeping it inaccessible to sell their products and services.

AMD is part of the forum but can’t get them to accept their own open source driver. I guess we can’t complain or shame all of them in one. I wonder who voted reject vs accept.

Sad.

We kinda have that already

Some frameworks/standard libs do support that, making use of OS webrendering capabilities.

For example MAUI WebView

WebView uses different browser engines on each platform to render web content:

• Windows: Uses WebView2, which is based on the Microsoft Edge (Chromium) browser engine. This provides modern web standards support and consistent behavior with the Edge browser.
• Android: Uses android.webkit.WebView, which is based on the Chromium browser engine. The specific version depends on the Android WebView system component installed on the device.
• iOS and Mac Catalyst: Uses WKWebView, which is based on the Safari WebKit browser engine. This is the same engine used by the Safari browser on iOS and macOS.

I guess the prices give us a new kind of issue ticket template; “new RAM is too expensive for me, please consider optimizing”

Less abstract, more concrete than “take less of a share please”

The hat has a cape 👀

accused of repeat copyright infringements

Does this court determine whether this concrete accusation against a person holds as well, or does this court determine whether an accusation is enough?

Is that the conclusion? I thought that’s still under investigation. I remember reading about it months after the first reports.
