The only good thing that came out of all of this is that FAA reputation is now in the gutter. And other aviation authorities around the world are now getting more involved in doing their own evaluations, instead of mostly relying on FAA for Boeing planes specifically. It does increase the development timeline of new places significantly, as Boeing is a US company and that create a lot of logistical issues for inspections.

And there are several individual EU countries that are moving to open source software, but so far they are not very keen on actually supporting their development. And sadly, EU is moving away from funding open source via Horizon program. https://www.theregister.com/2024/07/17/foss_funding_vanishes_from_eus/

It's an identical playbook they used in Gaza and as before there is no evidence of that. Israel is a terrorist state committing a genocide, but they got US as an accessory with their unconditional support, so it's all good.

They're upset with Epic and their exclusives

facepalm

<...> their shitty storefronts that have extremely limited features by comparison.

Have you used Steam in the early days? It took 5 years before they added basic community features.

Plus we all know the decreased commissions is just their way of attempting to gain market share, as opposed to just making a better product.

A better product means nothing if you have no users. Case in point all the enshitified platforms that still exist to this day.

Steam is far from perfect, but it's also far and away the best option we have.

Only option. That's the ultimate issue, which you prefer to ignore.

This is not new, but it's well sourced and easily digestible for most people. The issue is that Valve has de facto monopoly and when Epic Games (even selfishly) tried to address that issue gamers went for their throat instead of cheering.

There are small storefronts that exist in the background, but they are either indie only like itch.io, Game Jolt or run by a publisher with primarily their catalog like GOG, Origin, Uplay (or whatever it's called now), Battle.net, etc. And even then many of them eventually become available on Steam because that's what gamers ask for. People are too stupid to help themselves, so unless some regulations force a change, we are stuck with this.

<...> managed to exit it first time <...>

That is not possible...

Added to the post body.

We know that to be true. After previous Israel's war crimes, in 2009 UN conducted an independent review called "Goldstone report", which proved Gaza's death counting was extremely accurate.

Only in UK English, US English doesn't.

Yes! Even damn FBI recommends using Ad Blocker https://www.standard.co.uk/news/tech/fbi-recommends-ad-blocker-online-scams-b1048998.html

The rest of the planned lineup for this generation will be in 2025 Q1/Q2.

Twitter, before it was bought by Elon Musk, had a policy regarding hacked materials — but the page is no longer available. A pre-Musk version of the policy, dated 2019, stated that posting or linking to hacked content is prohibited. Under this policy, links to a story by The New York Post about Hunter Biden, the current president’s son, were banned. But in October 2020, Twitter changed its policy to say that it would no longer block hacked materials, after an outcry about how the company had handled the Post story. “Straight blocking of URLs was wrong, and we updated our policy and enforcement to fix,” wrote then-CEO Jack Dorsey.

So which is it?

The flaws also exposed car owners' sensitive personal information, including their name, phone number, email address, and physical address, and could have enabled attackers to add themselves as a second user on the targeted vehicles without the owners' knowledge.

The company does not distinguish between how many posts were removed and how many were labeled.

Best kind of transparency.

<...> privacy minded person installs <...>

That's the fallacy. You assume all Firefox users are privacy minded. Which is idealistic, not a reality. From Firefox being pre-installed on Linux to Mozilla themselves marketing it the opposite way.

Who is at fault here, the application or the user?

There is no universe where opt-out tracking is not abusive behavior. Literally, read the Mozilla blog and see how they used to condemn this same behavior before.

Yeah, worse than Google/Apple app store's 30/70 split which is already a robbery.

Not really. You are just viewing from the wrong perspective. From study perspective, you are right, but the article is talking about legal aspect. Ever since the Supreme Court overturned Chevrons doctrine, courts now decide not experts what and how regulators can create and enforce rules. So EPA was ordered to do so after the study came by the judge.

Mostly it comes down to hypocrisy. He's been a vocal critic of identical "products" in the past when released by other companies, but now suddenly everything is fine when it is him doing it.

Opt-out as opposed to opt-in is not privacy respecting in any way, shape, or form.

That’s straight from the mouth of Rabbit founder Jesse Lyu, who gave the number to Fast Company <...>
