This gets funny when you apply it to countries outside of the US. There are people born at the start of the Covid pandemic that can legally drink alcohol* in the UK.

in the Gnome multitasking settings, there's an option to disable hot corners. I don't know why these settings don't show up, when you search for 'hot corners' in settings, though.
Huh, you're right. I type "hot" and it turns up, but as soon as I type "hot c" it disappears. I also tried "hotcorner" and still nothing. How strange.
If I remember to I'll do a bug report tonight 🤓
E: known issue, and it's not limited to just this search by the looks of it
Yup. The one thing that is certain is that you cannot just leave companies to self-regulate.
These companies 100% said they'd be carbon neutral by 2030 in order to take the wind out of the sails of people pushing for carbon taxes, rather than because they actually intended on doing it.
Yup. Literally just add "To" before the "blame" and it suddenly becomes a lot more parsable.
Good video though.
That all gets better due to having far more users. You can't just say "let's ignore adoption rate" - that's a pretty huge deal. It's by far and away the main thing that holds them back.
And again, they were fine with SMS, which is far far worse.
Same here! Aside for in the local elections a while back.
Some level of privacy, yes. Solely in WhatsApp-signal chats. And users can be notified of that, like they were with SMS.
But you know what the alternative is? Nobody using signal. And that's objectively worse.
Cross-compatibility with WhatsApp would mean way more people on signal, and way more people willing to try, meaning more signal-signal chats. Meta would scrape metadata like when two accounts send messages and the like, but the contents of the chats would of course still be E2EE.
Signal-SMS is FAR less private, but they were fine with that for years, and people are still angry about it being removed.
Cross-compatibility removes the biggest hurdle for Signal - the chicken and egg problem of nobody using signal because they can't talk to anyone. It would act as a Trojan horse for pushing signal-signal communication.
I'm a signal donor and while I disagree with your point regarding UI (have you used in the past couple of years? It's went from feeling dated to feeling pretty modern), I agree with the rest.
Even worse, though, is that the EU offered them the opportunity to become relevant on a silver platter, by forcing WhatsApp to open up their app and be cross-platform with others who want to. Signal said no thanks.
I get it, WhatsApp stores metadata, and Signal doesn't like that. But they were fine with (way way worse) SMS for a while? The day Signal chose that path was the day Signal willingly chose to be irrelevant for the vast vast vast majority of people.
I love this app but the way the project is managed baffles me sometimes.
You guys are getting ID'd? That stopped for me when I was 16/17 🥲
Intel graphics has improved leaps and bounds but it's still problematic and more poorly supported than AMD.
I imagine part of it (beyond general stuff like Intel trailing AMD in efficiency, both on the CPU and GPU side, as well as the die size being far larger for the same performance, meaning more expensive) is that Valve really didn't want Intel graphics issues being reported in reviews and forums as being Proton/Linux issues.
On top of that, Intel straight up doesn't have a custom semiconductor division. AMD does (predominantly for Xbox/PS, but they're not the only ones).
Intel would either have to set up an entirely new working group for Valve (expensive! Something that Valve would've wanted to avoid considering they had no idea whether the Deck would be a hit or not) or they'd have had to go with an off-the-shelf intel CPU.
"Jeff, why the living fuck have you tried to claim 5 femboy OnlyFans premium-tier subscriptions on your work expenses account?!"
sweating "uhhh... to... ummm... make sure it wasn't CSAM...?"
"Oh! Nice work Jeff. Very proactive. For a second I thought something dodgy might have been going on."
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print("Fine. Fuck y’all.")?
Not to mention there could easily be a court case where Valve gets told they can't host mods that infringe on copyright and are told to remove it all and not accept anything like it.
Kiss goodbye to your Skyrim mods that add Thomas the tank engine characters as dragons, Spiderman as a playable character, LOTR characters and weapons, etc.
As much as I think steam workshop is great and convenient, it shouldn't be the only accessible option.
Tankie is a term that stems from the UK Communist Party (fringe political party) mocking/distancing themselves from some of its more extreme members that defended the USSR sending tanks in to quell civilian protests in Hungary and Czechoslovakia. And later, to mock those who defended Mao's crackdowns.
Since then, the term has evolved to mean any westerner who proclaims to be left but defends the imperialist actions and human rights abuses of Russia (despite them not even being remotely left wing anymore!) To a lesser degree it's also applied to China.
In short: a westerner who rails about how horrible and imperialist the west is, but falls silent or defends it when Russia or China do the same or worse.
What an odd thing to double down on, I know plenty of women that use computers (literally all of them I've ever met).
Thinking women using computers is "political" is batshit insane.
E: I didn't realise that women existing was such a controversial take lol
I can see this being interesting for about 4 minutes until the novelty wears off.
I don't get why proprietary apps love having this feature creep where more and more stuff gets bolted on, usually just making the app unnecessarily bloated, buggy, unintuitive, etc.
