It’s building out federation and you can already host your own account and control your own data and run your own feeds. The investors don’t have control of the company (public benefit corporation).

The only difference between it and Mastodon in terms of scraping is that scraping public data is a bit easier. Nothing about Mastodon makes that scraping difficult, it’s just more annoying to do. The company itself is not doing AI BS.


That still needs an FPGA. While they certainly seems to be able to use smaller ones, adding an FPGA chip will still add cost




People who can’t pay experiencing their creative work doesn’t take anything away from them. Complain about the lack of funding for art instead


And some functions don’t support hard limits, you’d have to set up a script monitoring load and literally take down your service if you get near the max

Not easy to find a new job with a new team working out as well as the old team, leaving together is hard to organize, establishing a new company with the group who left is waaay harder unless you’re a bunch of supergeniuses, and chances are you’ll just have to sell anyway due to lack of a PR machine and distribution channels like what the big publishers have.

Unless the small studio basically starts off as a co-op you devs don’t have much of a voice.


Quote the right to have the advertised service delivered and that substantial changes can’t be forced without a right for the buyer to refuse and cancel

Neo Launcher is close but not yet all the way there


Neo Launcher seems to have either tabs or folders, not both (you have to choose one). Seems fairly close to what I want overall, still missing a few features

Kvaesito with its tags is really interesting but that’s not how I use launchers. If it had also supported modifying the default app list with tags as alternative views then it would’ve been great for me. And it would also need better tools for managing tags (bulk adding apps, navigating tags)

Lawnchair doesn’t let me customize folders within the app list


It’s pretty much a program running in OS kernel space to handle specific function calls which need low level system access. Most hardware needs custom drivers to work because they need to interact with those low level OS components, so that’s why they’re mostly associated with hardware.

A lot of antiviruses use custom drivers to intercept and inspect program behavior to look for viruses, etc


Where they now have to click on the right combination of 8+ browser choice menus (and Microsoft keeps adding more by splitting out various custom protocol handlers) and select the correct browser in all of them.

And then they’ll still wonder where their bookmarks and saved passwords and shit went and get mad that it “looks different” when Edge inevitably opens up again randomly when they click something else, and then they click that popup to make Edge the default to make that popup go away (because Edge is allowed to make itself default with one click, but nothing else is), and then they call support and yell

Source: I’ve taken those calls in support



Incomprehensibly stupid, because all they have to do is ask the user to confirm. Forcing through their own default instead of asking is malicious.


No they don’t. At most they just have to detect automatic changes and ask the user to confirm. They have no reason for forcing the user to dig into menus and then also repeatedly override that same choice.


Does the official mod tools include full license assignment or waiver of right to attribution?


Weird math bullshit.

But in essence, because they carry energy they must have momentum. It’s why they can impart momentum on what they hit, because momentum must be preserved.

Why they have momentum or why laser weapons would have recoil?

It would make sense IMHO if it’s to create airflow for cooling


Copyright covers creative expression, not functionality. The code and unique design elements would be protected, but not the idea of a grid or guessing letters, etc (which all predate them anyway). Even the word list is difficult to claim protection to if it was generated by algorithmic filters on dictionary words (it probably was) because then the selection also isn’t expressive.

So I can’t copy their code or exact look, but I can definitely make my own version legally.

What’s the point? Yeah I don’t know why they spent money on such a simple concept either. The copyright protection is far more useful when the thing has enough expression that clones won’t be indistinguishable anymore.


But they don’t have control over the clones, copyright don’t extend that far


Convenience, simplicity (when implemented right), and support for the full PC version of games with mods and all

Also, support for docks and stuff


The only difference there is the specific formatting, it can still be cloned


They always start working on the next console as soon as one nears completion and release. It’s just a question of how far along with the plans they are. If they have an approximate quarter then the hardware is probably mostly ready


It’s like you have AR built in! (is called imagination)



That’s not how courts are going to treat it. Public domain (lack of) licensing is not “infectious”. Instead you can just cut out the trademark and reuse ML images because under current legal precedence they’re in public domain but the trademark isn’t


This is technically already legal precedence in USA, copyright requires human expression and without sufficient human creative control in ML generated works they’re effectively public domain

Edit: why downvotes?

In theory no, practically speaking the patent system is absurdly dumb around anything IT. Multiple patents which Apple won against Samsung with got invalidated which cut part of the awards issued




Yes, both from Valve working hard on compatibility and game devs testing against it



FYI Yubico (who makes them) have devices compatible with each. You can technically use the passkey standard with a yubikey security key since it’s all FIDO2 protocols, but it’s certainly not standard

It’s just a question of device bound keys (the default for yubikeys) vs platform / exportable keys (passkeys), but the websites can’t tell the difference if you don’t tell it


It would be backed up at the point of provisioning.

A TPM can be set to allow exports or block them, so if you program the TPM to export a key once and then flip the switch to block exports then you can have this kind of backups and synchronization


Yeah, the TPM should perform the signature inside of the security chip, the key is always off limits from everything else


Passkeys use cryptographic keys held client side which are never transmitted, they user cryptographic challenge-response protocols and send a single use value back. You can’t intercept and reuse it unlike with passwords.


With a breach of the server then they can get your password the next time you log in and maintain persistent access until they’re both kicked out and everybody has changed passwords.

With passkeys you don’t need to do anything, they never had your secret.


Because you don’t send a secret value, you only send a cryptographic asymmetric single use value which is safe to disclose
