I can’t imagine the shame I’d feel if there was a legal finding stating that I was a fan of the minions.

He could have tried to fight the order, that’s what the previous management used to do.

Musk defends enabling Turkish censorship on Twitter, calling it his “choice”

Yeah I think they’re generally regarded as a mistake, browsers have removed all the UI signifying an EV cert these days.

I wish the tooling around Secure Scuttlebutt wasn’t so annoying to use, more attention might have had some of the rough edges filed off.

On one hand you can have an offline first replication method (Phones syncing messages over bluetooth, etc.), but then you can’t post from multiple devices without moving your account between them.

It’s also not a progressive JPEG either.

For a while Google let you blacklist domains from search results, fantastic feature so of course they killed it off.

They’d run afoul of the whole “editing your own article” restrictions.

I take that there isn’t much motivation in moving to 128 because it’s big enough; it’s only 8 cycles (?) to fill a 512 (that can’t be right?).

8 cycles would be an eternity on a modern CPU, they can achieve multiple register sized loads per cycle.

If we do see a CPU with 128 bit addresses anytime soon, it’ll be something like CHERI, where the extra bits are used for flags.

I think CHERI is the only real attempt at a 128 bit system, but it uses the upper 64 bits for metadata, so the address space is still 64 bits.

Yep, Apple paid with shares (More specifically, the right to buy $1 million dollars worth at the initial share price) which, according to a share calculator I just tried, would be worth nearly $328 million these days, I wonder if Xerox kept them or offloaded them early.

Considering Xerox was utterly uninterested in any of the tech they had, it’s worked out well.

Stuff that’s spec compliant has to follow the rules, non-spec compliant stuff can obviously do whatever, so yeah the cheap cables off ebay or amazon won’t use the right logos.

It’s USB2, so either for charging or simpler devices that don’t need USB3 (Like keyboards).

Edit: Federation issue? I swear there wasn’t an existing reply when I responded.

Better, kid friendly urban infrastructure like dedicated bike paths protected from car traffic, better pedestrian areas, parks and so on. Kids will get outside their house if there is a kid friendly outside. A greener, more human friendly outside where you can socialize with other humans would always be preferred over doom scrolling online.

Good luck with that, people and politicians love cars, parking lots and highways, and the media is demonising kids as criminals.

Unless all the other hardware is bespoke, it’ll use the same drivers as it would if it ran x86 or ARM.

It’s not like they’re going to change when you’re not looking.

Jack Dorsey may have had lofty goals for Bluesky, but he doesn’t even work there anymore.

Which is a point in Bluesky’s favour.

His personal LLC is called “Excession”, considering some of the plot points in that book I doubt he enjoyed it at all, it’s just “nerd set dressing”.

At the time it was just an ad-lib by Jason Issacs, guessing he wished on a monkey’s paw for it to make sense in context.
