Yes, quite a few Linux games still run on OpenGL, even recent ones[1]. Most support Vulkan as a backend as well, and this would be preferred once supported on MacOS, but that is still a work in early stages of progress.

[1] One example is the Clauswitz engine from Paradox Development Studio, which is used in all their games.
It means general support for hardware acceleration in linux. OpenGL is used more places than you would think. Switch to software rendering and you’ll immediately see the difference just navigating the OS.
> Presumably Byte Dance is already required to respond to NSLs and warrants

There is a legitimate concern about ByteDance honestly responding to said orders. Wanting to double check first hand isn't a ridiculous ask. What seems an overstep is wanting to do so with zero oversight.
I really like the simplicity of this framework, and they hit on a lot of common problems found in other agent-based frameworks. Most intrigued by the RAG improvements.

Seems like Microsoft was frustrated with the pace of movement in this space and the shitty results of agents (which admittedly kept my interest turned away from agents for the last few months). I'm interested again because it makes practical sense, and from looking at the example notebooks, seems fairly easy to integrate into existing applications.

Maybe this is the 'low code' approach that might actually work, and bridge together engineering and non-engineering resources.

This example was what caught my eye: https://github.com/microsoft/FLAML/blob/main/notebook/autoge...

I think this is highly dependent on what your beliefs are pre-trip and how you define what makes you you.

"Of course, Asahi Lina and I are two individuals with minimal funding. It’s a little awkward that we beat the big corporation…"

Love the euphemism. This puts Apple to shame, plain and simple. They obviously don't care about standards, or compliance, because they like people to be walled in their own little private garden (still waiting for the facetime standard, or any kind of cross-platform technology created in the past 10 years).

If i weren't an iOS dev, i would have ran away from the apple ecosystem a long time ago. I love their hardware, and loved the brand back in the 80s and 90s when apple was about creativity, putting humans first before machine, etc. But what this company has become is just a corrupted mess of greed behind a curtain of politically correct marketing videos.
You would be surprised what people are regularly paying for a car. 850 is probably on par with what the parking/storage costs alone are. Those are almost certainly "priced in" to most houses, but there is no reason you couldn't work to reclaim a lot of that space.

More, I don't know enough about ZIPCAR to know how they price in the costs to refill the vehicle between drivers, but depending on how the fuel was managed, that is a 20% chunk of that, easy.

Concretely, googling "average monthly car payment", shows that "The average car payment for a new vehicle is $725 monthly, according to first-quarter 2023 data from Experian." So, not as incomparable as I could hope it is.

There are other services which rely on this header’s information for authentication (which of these addresses did you live at in 2021?) so for approximately $15, you can dramatically increase the effectiveness of an attack on those services.

Unlisted numbers have been a white pages paid feature for a very long time. Very similar incentives in both directions compared to these headers, I’m sure. (Yellow pages were pay for inclusion, iirc.)
The criticism here should be that the starting point is 'name & state' (wouldn't 'doxing' normally be determining name/identity or more from believed-anonymous online interactions?) but otherwise yes whatever you think of how important it is that is doxing?

"Along a less-traveled route, meditation remains what it long was: a deeply transformative pursuit, a devoted metamorphosis of the mind toward increasingly enlightened states."

This pretty much lines up with what meditation has done for me. However, the pursuit of "states" can be a trap in of itself.

As my practice has gotten deeper, I've started to reframe meditation for myself as the process of unrelenting inquiry in the search for base truth. In that pursuit, the practice becomes a process of subtraction of core beliefs and ideas that simply aren't true - or can't be known to be true. As these beliefs disappeared, much of my own personal suffering did as well as so many of the things that were sources of conflict in my mind were predicated on false beliefs.

With this framing meditation can take many forms. Ramana Maharshi famously asked his devotees to start with the question of "Who am I?" and just keep inquiring.
This is good news. I did not know this.
No, "off" in this case merely implies different from what you're used to.

This is aesthetic preference, there's no such thing as "correct". It goes back to the old debate on Mac vs. Windows font rendering -- do you like pixel alignment or do you like letterform accuracy? There's no right answer.

Twitter API v2 Migration
That’s a slightly different issue. Right now, Google could push a customized malicious firmware just to you. No one else would have a copy, and no one would be able to reverse engineer it to detect that it’s malicious.

With a fully functioning binary transparency system, Google would have to publish the fingerprint of the malicious firmware. An even stronger system would require that they publish the entire image as well. Then the attack could be detected.
In this glorious 21st century where privacy is dead and big govt and tech have the right to monitor and monetize you as they please, Bill Hicks' take on marketing is the only correct one.

> There are credible questions regarding ByteDance's independence

No there isn't. There is no question at all that any major company - tech, media, oil, banking, etc is independent. All major companies, anywhere in the world, are state corporations.

> They've shown a troubling bias in censoring anti-Chinese content

They've got to fight disinformation somehow. Right? It's funny how you, one of the biggest champions in the fight against disinformation, is upset when the chinese do it.

> Anyone claiming claims of CCP infiltration into ByteDance are "nonsense" is operating outside the window of evidence.

Morons who watch too much youtube nonsense spout ccp nonsense. That a major tech company is 'infiltrated' by the state is nonsense because as I said, all major tech companies are state companies. It would be like morons watching chinese version of youtube and spouting nonsense like google or facebook is 'infiltrated' by US state actors. Google and facebook are US state actors, they aren't infiltrated by us state actors.

It's funny how you just 'randomly' started spouting ccp nonsense as soon as the media and 'alt'-media started spouting the ccp nonsense. Hmmm.

This sounds very much like trusting a fox to guard the henhouse. When do they then do with the submitted personal information? Why should we trust that they will behave ethically with it? What happens if, and when, they have a data breach?

What's the real threat of TikTok to the US? It should have nothing to do with spying since there isn't anything important that's submitted to the app(Who uses TikTok DMs?). If the app has a backdoor functionality or purposely made vulnerabilities and the feds are concerned by it, then it's a question to Google and their store's security/review policies/practices, and could be negated entirely by a mandate for TikTok to store all non-video traffic sent to the US users with a US based third party, in an unencrypted form. But it would be going overboard since in actuality it would be insane to for Chinese intelligence services to use TikTok to send exploits -- it could be easily detected and would be the casus belli for shattering the company, which is an 8 billion dollar business in the US.

What the US establishment actually doesn't like is that TikTok wields a capability to influence the American public by amplifying certain topics and deranking others, also with their content policy. It's a capability that the US companies enjoy all across the world with few authoritarian exceptions, and even the EU doesn't get to review Facebook or Google's algorithms (there is an effort to force them to explain their algos (Digital Services Act), but as far as I know it's not even close to the intrusive search-like audits and vetos mentioned in this article), and smaller less influential countries/political entities can't even dream of forcing the FAANG to comply with their demands. So it's tremendously hypocritical for the US to rile up paranoia about "personal data" and "national security" especially considering the Snowden revelations. (Draconian)rules are for thee but not for me. Also the US companies' algorithms are probably protected by the first amendment, so I'm not even sure that this crack down on TikTok is even legal.

> Not in my experience

Then our experiences are different, fine.

> Keep in mind that "how do we power the world" isn't a US-centric problem. ~35% of Switzerland's electricity is already generated from pumped hydro

I'm from Sweden. Lots of hydro, but even the hydro we have is controversial as it has destroyed habitats. Even if we added storage capability to existing hydro, it's not enough to run the whole country through the winter.

I live in Japan now. Absolutely zero natural resources for storage, so it's a country which after Fukushima has invested lots in coal, and the world's largest car manufacturer is investing in hydrogen (which COULD be generated from renewables but we all know the fossil fuels will win in cost)

> SA hit 70% renewables, with less than 1% accounted for by battery storage

That's awesome! We should all use renewables as much as we can to remove as much fossil fuels as we can. But as with many problems, after the first 90%, comes the remaining 90%.

> there are real-world technologies out there doing what opponents have claimed for years, is impractical

I want to see a 100% renewable grid, complete with transport and heavy industry (not some off-grid house or tropical island). I really do. Please show me it. We NEED this. I still don't see it.

As a happy, longtime Firefox user, have to hard disagree here.

> It paints a picture that you need to "sacrifice" something to use Fx and lists various "problems".

Well yes, that was apparently the OP's feeling, along with the belief that overall, the "sacrifices" are worth it. So whether or not the issues felt important (or real) to you, they evidently were for the OP - and possibly other people who are considering switching but as of now are used to Chrome's way of doing things.

> For instance it mentions how troublesome it is to use profiles as a "problem". Don't. Use containers.

If some issue arises because a user hasn't adapted their workflow to the new software and there is in fact a different way of doing things that will result in the same features, that's a legitimate thing to point out. But as the sibling comments make clear, that doesn't seem to be the case here, as containers are missing lots of features that profiles have.

> Never had problems with font rendering.

That's just "works on my machine". OP did have problems, they posted screenshots.

> The download manager being different isn't a "problem", and even Chrome is changing it to become more like Fx's [0]. So it's not like Fx's version is "bad", just different.

FF's download manager is missing a feature that OP actively used, which is drag and drop of downloaded files. So from that point of view, it's clearly a downgrade.

> I'd rather have an article on "Switching from Chrome to Firefox? Here are some tips on great features in Firefox".

Like how to use the multi-account containers I mentioned. Or how the address bar ("awesome bar") in Firefox is so much greater than Chrome's in finding stuff (probably because Google wants you to do a google search, not find stuff from your own history or bookmarks). On how Sidebery or other tree-style tabs can make the experience so nice. etc.

If users have issues with a software, I think it makes a better impression to pick them up from where they are than to do some "there are no problems, move along, citizen" approach.

It's the users who decide what the important issues of a software are, not the developers.

I divide consumption into active and passive. Watching a video is passive, but reading a novel is active, for example.

But it turns out video consumption can be made even more passive. Sure, a video plays whether you're paying attention or not, but at least you need to select the next video. Recommendation engines make this more passive by suggesting next videos. TikTok goes even further: you don't even need to select anything, just choose when to watch whatever's next.

In short, I agree with your taxonomy, but would extend it based on passive versus active consumption.

"outbound" is the usual term I think, the license terms under which users get the product. There is no requirement on the "inbound" terms, what you have to do to get the project to make or accept the changes your request.

E.g. "inbound=outbound" is a common model for contribution [1], a short way of saying that contributions are licensed by their author under the same conditions that the project is available to users. But that has nothing to do with whether a project is open source.
