Yeah, but if I’m not mistaken not because they’re the same architecture, but because each WiiU had full Wii hardware inside it, so it was actually two consoles. The Wii was actually just a faster GameCube.

Oh yes, of course this was pure misogyny. Plain and simple

men can keep doing crotchspawn when they are old.

But if women can’t, why would there be need for sterilization?

I know you’re probably right, just trying to point out the absurdity.

Right? It doesn’t even make sense for their own world view. I kind of suspect a translation mistake, but then again there seems to be no limit to conservative idiocy.

The only way it makes sense is to create an environment where women out of FOMO Mary and give birth early.

Also imagine asking the same thing for men lol these people would lose their mind. But that’s just the usual hypocrisy

I’d guess this is less about MINIX vs. Linux and more about ultimately having 0 control over or insight into it.

The joke being that he didn’t actually say it, same as Microsoft never stating 10 being the last version of Windows ever

What would be the utility for someone, who cares about privacy and currently uses Signal and email for communication?

Your organization can’t host a federated Signal server, and email isn’t private.

Is Matrix anything good already, or is it something with potential that’s still fully in development?

My previous organization has used it for over 4 years without issues, however mostly limited to text.

How tech savvy does one need to be to use Matrix?

Simply using? Not very much, basically like Lemmy.

Believe it or not, even the thugs beating down protests enjoy western luxuries… Or not having 20% inflation.

Plus, enforcing your government’s policies becomes a whole lot less attractive if all your neighbors dislike your employer. It all trickles down eventually.

And I don’t know if you noticed or not, unfortunately, the sanctions aren’t working that well… Maybe the answer is more sanctions? idk

I’m in favor of more of them, but I don’t think the current ones aren’t working. It was clear from the beginning that they’d be escalating so that Russia has a way out. They’re not using it so sanctions get worse.

Sure… Their anger will be directed at Putin, not at who actually imposed those sanctions.

I am worried that these sanctions will make them band together and support Putin even more.

And then what? They’ll go to war even harder? And if Putin is such a good leader, why doesn’t he just have Russia produce alternatives to the goods and services under sanctions?

The old status quo without sanctions got the world into the current situation. Why would keeping it the same fix it?

One could also make the opposite case for your logic: I am worried that without sanctions, people will see Putin as a strong leader, and as such hand together and support him even more.

We are entering the era of cyber-warfare, nation-state counter hacking, software and hardware sabotage, underground black and grey markets for both hardware and software.

We have entered that territory at least 10 years ago.

The rest I agree with. But I also think this is in fact the right move: you need to create pressure that hurts both the leadership and the people.

Qualcomm paying as much as other licensees should be preferable to Qualcomm than bankruptcy.

Not saying this is wrong, but where do you get it from? The article just states that ARM considers Qualcomm’s acquisition of Nuvia a breach of license. Both companies held ARM licenses before. What’s the issue with such a purchase?

What that monopoly got us: The C programming language, UNIX, UTF-8, among others

What the current tech monopolies yielded: yachts for the upper management

Welcome to Lemmy!

Unfortunately, I think most of the users here have no insight into every day Chinese life - myself included… in fact if not from your post, I would have had no idea this is a thing.

Anyhow, this is disgusting behavior, and I can’t really rationalize it.

Though for a lot of people, the source of grievance is pretty abstract. They could be victims of the system, and taking it revenge in that is difficult.

Just that Ukraine isn’t a NATO member so there’s no way to trigger article 5

And believe it or not, not many people want to fight in Ukraine, and not many countries want to send their people to fight there

At this point, Prime doesn’t make sense if you want to save on shipping. It made sense because it included a lot of good stuff (video before ads, some music, shipping, games) but just for shipping, there were better options.

I basically overpaid but didn’t care out of convenience - partner sometimes watched prime, I ordered occasionally, played some included games. But the changes to video were so shady that I cancelled it.

What’s confusing about wine prefixes apart from the fact that wine itself doesn’t come with a graphical interface to manage them? On a Deck, Steam should handle these for you

Please don’t bring in this worn out Reddit joke

Their militia’s (which Wagner group is) strategy is bullying civilians

we already had XMPP available and well developed.

XMPP as defined where?

For privacy, I guess OMEMO is the current gold standard regarding XMPP; however, agreeing on a feature set between clients apart from the most basic stuff wasn’t always easy (and I guess it still isn’t).

Also, I guess XML has fallen out of style for this kind of use case. Matrix is just JSON over REST, which I guess is kind of nice nowadays?

XML kind of suffers the jack of all trades curse. If you just have two sides exchanging messages using a well-defined protocol, why go for something that offers schema definition, DTD, XSL transformation? These come with costs, and if you don’t use them, why XML in the first place?

All of this combined with the fact that the communication model of XMPP and Matrix is different - XMPP closer to email where a server relays messages between clients while in Matrix, everything is a synchronized (?) room, even direct messages between two participants - would have required bending or extending the spec so much that it wouldn’t have been XMPP in the original spirit anyways. So instead, a new protocol was designed that incorporated a lot of lessons learned in the decade before it.

You’re free to continue using XMPP, after all, bridges exist.
