It was originally an Onion project, got sold off by the old owners back in 2020.

I’d assume it’s for things like (e.g. Pixar) films, or stuff like GTA6 where there obviously isn’t any actual people in the end result but hoping they’ve actually spelled out that constraint in the law.

The best numbers I can find are from 2024, when Starlink made a total of $72 million in profit.

Not great numbers though, as the article explains. It only talks about the cost of the end user hardware and providing the service, so the profit is against those expenses. It doesn’t factor in the cost of launches and satellites.

I don’t think Mozilla ever claimed Gecko was embeddable, they sold it as a framework you’d use to build apps with (i.e. XULRunner)

Meanwhile Servo is already usable by Gtk, Qt, Slint, and Tauri.

Microsoft announced these price increases back in April, this shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody.

Give Marginalia search a try, see how well it works out for you.

Moltbook is already a thing unfortunately, even owned by Meta.

I’d also wager keyboards and mice won’t stop being USB-A anytime soon. There’s just no reason for them to be anything else.

Depends on whether or not the cable is fixed or removable, my mouse has a fixed cable so it uses A (lowest common denominator), meanwhile my (5 year old) keyboard has a removable cable so has a C port only.

USB-A is the common standard. Most devices are made with USB-A compatibility. Most portable media are USB-A.

Well, per spec the client devices are supposed to have B ports (e.g. printers, scanners, external hard drives, etc. are all B), thumb stick are outliers in that they use A.

Well they used to at least, all the ones I’ve seen recently are A/C. A is legacy at this point.

Think about what technology looked like 20 years ago.

20 years ago I had a 64-bit PC with a dual-core processor and 8GB of RAM, now I have a 64-bit PC with a 6-core processor and 32GB of RAM.

Sure, it’s an improvement but consider the same situation from 1986 where it would have been a 386 (The first 32bit x86 chip!) with 1MB of RAM. The rate of computer technology improvements is slowing down, not increasing.

Edit: Thinking about it, 20 years ago I had a GeForce 7600 GT, which I replaced with a 570, that with a 980, and finally with a 3070. So 4 GPUs across 20 years, and they all used the same bus on the motherboard.

Huh, I checked the talk page out, turns out the guy behind the picture was jailed for trying to kill his wife.

I wish people actually read the california law, it’s rather short, and covers a lot of the “gotchas” people are coming up with (e.g. No it doesn’t apply to servers).

I don’t like age verification laws (Especially since I live in a jurisdiction with one already in effect) but at least argue against the law itself rather than a strawman version people heard about via social media.

AMD’s supported it since 2015, but it’s not something a normal app would use anyway (They’d just ask the OS for it).

More likely for the app to get it wrong though, generating unpredictable random numbers (Which is all you realistically need) is pretty easy, not screwing up and making them more predictable is hard.

Gitlab is also going all-in on AI.

Funny thing is, the WebM format is actually a constrained profile of MKV, and Firefox strictly enforced those compatibility checks. Chrome never did though, so it could always support MKV files but only if you lied and claimed they were WebM.

Edit: Lemmy eats the highlight in the link, look for “Matroska” under “Web Platform”

It’s because he’s an idiot.

“Web 3.0” was supposed to be things like the fediverse, or tech like IPFS/Dat. Crypto/NFT tied their cart to that horse to appear legitimate.

EdgeHTML was a genuine improvement over the old IE engine, but even MS couldn’t compete against Google in the end.

Pretty sure Firefox added support for HEVC a while back, but it relies on the system to provide the decoder (Which you’ll usually have to pay extra for)

Firefox also supports MKV files now, which is nice.

I disagree. If I want to use drugs that hurt me, I should be allowed to, for example.

That’s what I said though, if you want to do something to yourself, go for it.

But companies shouldn’t be allowed to knowingly sell harmful drugs.
