Ars Technica is looking for a reporter to cover Google: https://arstechnica.com/staff/2024/07/ars-is-seeking-a-seasoned-senior-reporter-for-all-things-google/
@misty
Should I apply? 😈
No, I don't think they'd deem this amount of violent thoughts acceptable — were I ever be covering things Google, there sure'd be plenty 😇
@ThatCrazyDude True — different kinds are more common in different parts of the world, the one we have here is purple-ish even 🤪
@ThatCrazyDude Isn't it supposed to have dark leaves or is it a different kind? 🤔
@romin
Computers that are good do not exist, they can't aid you. Stop making things up! 😤
@newt
No! 😤
I'm switching to Redox as soon as it gets 32-bit PowerPC support: I don't want Rust in my kernel, I want my whole kernel to be in Rust! 🤪
@angiebaby
I still can't believe that it's not a prank carried out by someone — their actions led to a serious downtime for businesses, compensating for it with a $10 gift card looks too much like: "Sorry guys, you have to work on weekend, but hey — you can have free pizza 😏"
Remember when Google were introducing their Privacy Sandbox, one of the claims was that it would help them phase out tracking via third-party cookies? Under this premise they've made others (Yes, Mozilla, I'm looking at you!) adopt the same approach…
Guess what? They won't be: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/24/07/22/2055228/google-wont-be-deprecating-third-party-cookies-in-chrome-after-all
Most probably to avoid lawsuits in EU — as new tracking technology is solely controled by them.
So you get the new "privacy preserving" tracking AND the old one! 😂
This company is pure evil!
@newt
It's not disgusting enough! 😈
People have to hate themselves for using it 😏
@splitshockvirus @newt
Obviously that's because natives don't attempt to scam the companies by doing the work 🤭
@slashdot
How about "creating" an electric kettle for starters? 😏
I saw a lot of articles about “mandating open source in Switzerland.” This isn’t true. The actual requirement is that the source code must be available (with some exceptions) for software developed within the scope of administration. It's more akin to code escrow than true open source licensing.
Only the paragraph 2 opens the door to FOSS licensing but it also the open the door to non-free license. A list of FOSS licenses should have been mentioned clearly.
@romin
This sometimes happens to me with new videos — the format is listed as available, but transcoding to it hasn't finished yet, with h265 at 4k resolutions it might take hours for the format to become available via yt-dlp.
@JoseMariaHDZ
Well, he still hav'd a Lena with that tiny PP — whoever she is 😂
They're starting to venture out from under the couch to play. #FosterKittens

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
