To be clear, the right of free speech given in the first amendment is the right to express any opinion without fear of repercussions.
There is no inherent right that your opinions must be given a platform, or that any particular platform has the right to exist.
The first amendment is entirely orthogonal to the question of whether or not TikTok should be allowed to operate in the US.
So you’re telling me that there was a Mac super computer in '05?
The EU gave Google an option: pay or take down the content. The latter option was a bluff, and Google called them on it.
I don’t think this will hurt Google at all.
But it will certainly drive less traffic to these news sites if they are banned from Google. And that will hurt the news sites.
EU: You have to pay to show our news.
Google: Ok. We won’t show your news.
EU: Pikachu face
I mean, they don’t have to release the source code. A compiled version would be fine.
it’s unrealistic to assume it would exist forever.
Older multiplayer games would let you self-host the server, long before the current trend.
Ubisoft doesn’t have to continue to host servers. They just have to release the server code. Zero cost to them.
It won’t
Big +1 for Sync.
I was paying for Sync back when it was a Reddit client, and I moved to Lemmy mostly because that is where Sync moved.
It’s an awesome app. Best app purchase I’ve ever made. (There is a free version too.)
What could Twitter possibly offer to make me switch banks?
What could Twitter possibly offer to make me switch brokers?
What could Twitter possibly offer to make me switch from Venmo and PayPal?
Which Americans are not in a similar position?
X Payments is doomed to fail. He missed the boat. The market is already saturated, and they’ve lost all brand loyalty.
And were they any good?
My car runs Android Automotive^1 on an Intel Atom and performance is trash. I would hate to have a phone on the same platform.
^1 As in, the car runs Android directly, not Android Auto running from a phone.
Are you suggesting we treat North Koreans like indigenous people in Ukraine?
Why would any country allow soldiers of another to “do their own thing” within their borders?
That’s a good idea. They could probably do something similar for the audio.
They’d have to code around the rest of the animation and audio effects, but the size of that code would certainly be smaller than the rendered audio and video.
Video codecs mostly work by tracking movement, predicting which pixels will change, and striving to only encode the pixels that actually change or change dramatically. In other words, compression looks for patterns.
All of that goes out the window when you try to compress static. There are no patterns. It simply can’t be compressed. This isn’t a matter of the algorithms not being good enough. It’s a fundamental limit of information theory.
Anything fancier amounts to embedding the intro into the compressor as a well-known pattern. And at that point, you’re better off just caching a 4K version of the intro as a standalone video file directly in the app.
What are you going on about? Have you ever ridden in one of these?
They do have these buttons…
I see. Yeah, obviously the world only has 3 spatial dimensions, so you can’t represent 4D data spatially.
My general point is that we have additional senses that we can use to represent additional dimensions. And that totally counts as “visualization”.
And it is not possible to “visualize 4D”
Sure it is.
And that’s not even counting projection. All the time we interact with 3D data that’s projected to 2D (almost every photo you’ve ever looked at). There are similar ways to project 4D to 2D.
(Not defending the video or anything, just pointing out that visualizing higher dimensions is something we know about for ages.)
Great photo. Actually, is this a photo?
Maybe.
Linux won because it worked. Hurd was stuck in research and development hell. They never were able to catch up.
However, Linus’s kernel was more elaborate than GNU Hurd, so it was incorporated.
Quite the opposite.
GNU Hurd was a microkernel, using lots of cutting edge research, and necessitating a lot of additional complexity in userspace. This complexity also made it very difficult to get good performance.
Linux, on the other hand, was just a bog standard Unix monolithic kernel. Once they got a libc working on it, most existing Unix userspace, including the GNU userspace, was easy to port.
Linux won because it was simple, not elaborate.
The Google app is often used as a web browser by the tech-illiterate.
It even has tabs.
This is how my grandparents use it.
