More “feel good” legislation that has no basis in reality. They obviously do not actually intend to enforce this for corporations because it would shut down modern software development and data centers overnight. Imagine spinning up a docker container or a VM with accounts created. Suddenly you’re violating the law because there’s no age attestation. Nor should there be.

If they want this to actually fly, they should be more targeted in their legislation, but that would require they actually know what they’re fucking talking about.

This is obviously targeted at individuals to “protect” them. Great. No thank you.

Looks like that user’s comments were all mod deleted. Maybe it’s a bot account? No idea

Such pretentiousness. That was quite a boring and very dull read. Nothing insightful.

The link you posted literally has this banner at the top

F-Droid is under threat. Google is changing the way you install apps on your device. We need your help.

Depends on how their org chart is referenced. It might be a service account for the AI agent.

Even now, CUDA is gold standard for data science / ML / AI related research and development. AMD is slowly brining around their ROCm platform, and Vulcan is gaining steam in that area. I’d love to ditch my nvidia cards and go exclusively AMD but nvidia supporting CUDA on consumer cards was a seriously smart move that AMD needs to catch up with.

All of the 16bit and older games will have to be emulated.

That’s been my problem with it as well. I still do like dusting it off every now and again. It has the best land to space travel transition of any game I’ve ever played.

It looks like they ran Linux apps inside a virtual machine on an Android phone. That has been possible for a long time now. That is certainly a route Valve could go down, but it won’t be a very good user experience.

The difference there is it likely builds on the work they did for the Steam Deck and SteamOS. Writing a full Steam client for iOS or Android would be a huge amount of work independently from that.

Hacking at the kernel to make it work on a new device is a valid definition of hacking IMO.

Hacking [something together] - building something quickly to make it work not necessarily a robust inplementation.

That’s like saying an unlocked Pixel phone is a PC because you could technically develop an OS for it. Unlocked bootloader doesn’t an open system make.

I think we’re using different terms for hacking. You are using the exploit definition.

You have to hack another OS to load it on a MacBook. Try running Linux on an M3, M4, or M5 today. Not yet possible.

Edit: Even the M1 and M2 Linux support was entirely reverse engineered. The hardware is not open, it’s not a personal computer.

The pedantic argument was about personal computer, not just computer. I believe it was along the lines of push a few buttons, not hack the OS. Sorry I made you mad talking about MacBooks.

Actually the current M-series are struggling to be feature complete on Linux, so while what you say was true for the Intel Macs, that is wilting away.

Totally agree there. MacBooks don’t even really qualify there and even probably near future when newer Windows devices come locked down.

So user friendly Linux running on it makes it not a console? For a while PS3 was just a couple button presses to get a full Linux distro booted on it. I don’t think anyone would argue PS3 wasn’t a console.

If you do this, make sure to have a backup email on a different provider for all of your domain and DNS services in case something goes wrong you can still fix it. I’ve heard horror stories…

I can still find 480p videos from when YouTube first started that rival the quality of the compressed crap “1080p” we get from YouTube today. It’s outrageous.

I’m out of the loop, what’s that about Audacity? Looks like they still have a github repo with very recent activity and Wikipedia says their trademark was acquired by a company in 2021.
