Harmony Os exists because of the US trade embargoes, they would put Google Play Services on their phone if they could. I don’t know if Lemmy is blocked in China (I guess it is), so if you could write that comment it means you are not even the target audience.
Fully offline “proplus” is still office and fortunately that’s the only one I had to deal with since this change, so I’m not 100% familiar with their newer offerings
They love to do this. 2 years ago they renamed Office (the online, browser based version) to Microsoft 365 https://www.computerworld.com/article/1614302/office-to-be-rebranded-microsoft-365.html
They can present the “new” apps to shareholders
No it’s an RDP (Remote desktop) client
If you would read the article you would know that the title is perfectly correct, as currently it’s only available to Win, other platforms are just planned.
It’s an RDP client you can connect to pcs on the network or vms on azure
Was it even a goal? Mastodon can be used for internal communication, e.g. https://social.kernel.org is only for linux developers, and I know a local university where they have a defederated mastodon instance where every student automatically got registered.
If they just needed it for posting news maybe simply having a profile on one of the big instances would be enough. I see they had only 270 users.
Is snapchat still a thing? Never used that but I thought from screenshots and memes that tiktok killed it (never used that either)
I’m not familar with shelly, but they don’t use MQTT autodiscovery? If they use it you should have a corresponding HA entity or device of each switch. Then you can use built in tools or templates in automations, and don’t directly mess with MQTT. That’s much easier and stable.
If they don’t use autodiscovery you can create HA entites via configuration.yaml manually
It’s a strange diagram but shows what you have to know. If you ever seen different keyed m.2 cards, you should understand this. The important thing is the location of the keys, the notch. All m.2 cards has an ‘up’ and ‘down’ side, it shows only the ‘up’ side. You have to look inside the receptor to see the pins, that’s why it shows both sides, it’s not possible to see one side only on the receptor as they are in a plastic casing. Usually you can’t see the pins on the mobo, only the key.
You can see a similar diagram on wikipedia, both sides of receptor, top side of card:
The offset you were writing about doesn’t matter, it actually helps. You can’t accidentally insert the card upside down. The location of notches also help with this, as not all possible notches used yet, but in the future it could change.
These connectors are really small. The receptor is similar how sodimm connector works, but smaller. Are you also afraid about inserting a ram in an laptop? It’s basically the same.
Read more about the connector in wikipedia, I’m really happy this slowly replaces sata, msata, mpcie and even pcie in current pcs.
You are right. The user you are replying to has no idea what they write about, as they confessed in another comment.
You seem to love spreading misinformation on the web. Why are you commenting 4 times if you are not familiar with the topic?
This is an m.2 connector. You have to secure it with a screw on the other side. It’s nearly impossible to mess it up.
Apple frequently uses proprietary connectors, I don’t know which one you are reffering to. I won’t guess because I’m not very familiar with all apple connectors.
You don’t have to comment on a topic if you are not familiar with. Please stop.
18 minutes video about how windows is bad, posted to literally the biggest linux circlejerk forum of the interwebs. Oh a misleading ad trying to sell the same thing as haveibeenpwned, classic.
Nowadays if someone is annoyed by these things can switch to Linux, nearly all games work ootb, hardware acceleration and drm is also working in browsers. For a home user, competitive gaming is the only thing which is not on par with windows.
For company environments where they use software which is windows only, group policy is there, sysadmins can lock down computers that it basically looks like a kiosk with only the few programs the employee need, no notifications, no ai bullshit, these annoyances only affect home users.
Most of the originalish content on lemmy are linux related stuff, memes and porn. The latter 2 are mostly image/video based, so you don’t search for that very frequently and easily. I can see that in the future it will become a very relevant source of info in linux admin and user circles.
I go back to r*ddit sometimes for some local content which is non existent on lemmy. I see that the tech related subs are mostly dead there, or at least only shadows of their former selfs. E.g. go to r/linux, sort by top all time. In the first 100 results you will barely find anything posted after the exodus.
Yes, in my native language the two words are the same
Aaron Swartz story is a bit different, because he actually paid for those documents via taxpayer money.
But other parts of your comment is true. A good analogy: if someone leaves their house open, and you walk in, that is still burglary trespassing.
I don’t know what needs to be discussed. Everyone owns their code, every project has some kind of hierarchy. Chromium is a project started by google, so Alphabet Inc. has a final word in any decisions. Similarly Linus Torvalds has a final say in Linux kernel development, and Lennart Poettering in systemd. That’s how it always worked, and I think it’s good enough.
What you can do is, you can hard fork a project, than you can have a final say there. This is actually how chromium’s engine started: its Blink engine is the fork of Apple’s webkit engine which is again a fork of Kde’s khtml engine.
Ungoogled chromium is not a hard fork it’s just a list of patches: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium They can override google’s decisions this way, but the more thing they patch the more thing they have to maintain, more work, and more things can break with each update. Afaik it’s similar how all other chromium based browsers work.
Everyone said this for years now. If you care about the freedom of internet (caring about your privacy is secondary) you shouldn’t use chromium based browsers. Stop using it now.
I read somewhere a long time ago that chromium is a “look, but not touch” type of foss project. You can fork it, fix it, do whatever you want with the code, but on the main chromium repo they rarely accept PRs from random contributors
Here is an article from 2020, about the first non google employees getting some rights in the repo, before that all decisions was made by google employees: https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/google-gets-web-allies-by-letting-outsiders-help-build-chromes-foundation/ This api was added in 2013
And the workaround for this issue is really simple, and it was recommended privacy wise for a long time: don’t use chromium based browsers and don’t visit google related sites, as much as you can.
This comes from hangout_services/thunk.js
I searched for hangout in the vanadium repo, no result, so it’s not patched there either: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Vanadium
Simply noone ever looked and it’s not documented. And the api is locked to work only on google domains so it wasn’t usable to anyone to accidentally notice what’s going on.
The code doesn’t do anything on non-Google domains.
Luca says this - I’m inclined to agree:
This is interesting because it is a clear violation of the idea that browser vendors should not give preference to their websites over anyone elses.
Follow up question: How many other parts of the chromium codebase limited to work on (maybe other) specific domains?
