For a tiny fraction of the population this might be true, for the rest of the population it definitely isn't true. I'm part of that tiny fraction, and pissed away hours trying to find a LineageOS (or similar) build for my current handset. I don't consider the task easy
Even if it were easy, it means giving up access to a huge variety of apps that expect and test for official builds. Anything with DRM for example
Precisely because the average social media user is petty, insecure, and attention-seeking. Like shaming is a fabulous concept I for one could get behind. Next up do follows, replies and retweets, and eventually people might slowly begin to measure social proof for themselves once more.
Can you imagine Donald Trump's twitter account with all those idiotic metrics scrubbed from it? It would have been a beautiful sight, just an angry old man typing in caps to himself
I had pretty much the exact same experience as parent comment. There is no apologizing for software that can quickly and easily accept your credit card number, but drag its feet and require non-existent humans to intervene to stop taking your money. Extremely bad look
These licenses are totally meaningless when Google make anti-competitive threats to their partners for attempting to exercise that license. They benefit from all the marketing of their vendor ecosystem in the public eye using the open thing, while quietly holding a gun to everyone's head in the background. That is the absolute antithesis of what "genuine open source" is supposed to be about, it is a marketing ruse and you've fallen for it.
This is the correct answer. Do not allow a subtly different technical design distract you from the largest switcheroo here: this is a single-vendor enterprise OS delivered under the guise of open source, it comes with all the trappings of a single-vendor enterprise OS.
Let's not be too quick to forget when Android first started out, all the idealism about the wonders of a free software mobile OS. A decade later, it's almost impossible to buy an Android phone that hasn't been strongarmed (no pun intended) into including Play Services, Chrome and Gmail, often including through threats to the manufacturer's unrelated businesses.
We're older and wiser, avoid this garbage like the plague, and don't fall for all the same old tricks.
That's a highly optimistic read of it. China move fast and brutally when they decide to move, but often their motivations are approximately identical to what applies in the west, we just take a more gentle approach to changes in our extremely fragile financial system.
I think US banking is the outlier here. I've never paid anything like this anywhere in Europe, the vast majority of transactions (for example SEPA) are free, or very close to free.
Speaking as an IRC lifer, every article I read about this fails to actually make any kind of cohesive point about what's going on and why it is bad. Explain like I'm 5 please?
Who controlled nickserv/chanserv before this Andrew fellow? It seems there is some leap to "omfg he's taking control of services!" without mention of who is /losing/ control. It seems perhaps a large chunk of story is missing here.
Meanwhile I'll probably continue using Freenode until it starts serving Viagra ads during connection or something similarly tangibly evil. Right now I just see a bunch of dumb IRC drama. It's a chat network, come on.
> The reason it's not generally done is because the select API has been effectively replaced with better things like kqueue and epoll and poll and ppoll. If you actually want to do something like select and you expect to have a lot of FDs, using something newer than select is a better choice.
The performance difference between select() and poll() isn't measurable for small sets of descriptors, and for epoll and friends, fixed setup costs are substantially higher. It's therefore not correct to suggest select() has been replaced with better interfaces, in the case of poll() it is a more complex interface and in the case of epoll (or io_uring or ..) it is a much more expensive interface.
Came here to say this. It's a site designed for idiots not engineers. How does rendering work? Can't even tell if it's HTML based or some hipster immediate UI toolkit nobody's heard of. What do I need to give up to get a 640kb binary? etc etc.
Answering my own question, https://github.com/tauri-apps/wry , so looks like it loses one of the advantages of Electron in that you control the exact browser in use. Maybe that's incorrect. Who knows? Web site appears to not exist to provide such important details.

If there are specific problems worth raising about PoS, please share them, I'm sure plenty of folk here would love to learn what they are.
My take is that it's probably an ESG thing, perhaps some funds voiced their concerns about the potential for Tesla stock to hurt their ESG ratings. There was never any question of whether holding and transacting in Bitcoin would eventually start appearing on the same page as Greta Thunberg, the only question was when. It seems Musk just drastically accelerated this outcome.
