Yeah, over shit that happened 30 years ago…

If you only interpret “transparent” as “open source”, then yeah, I agree.

If, however, you also consider “well documented” as “transparent”, then what exactly is the deal?

And it’s already going to be opt-in.

in a transparent and optional way it could be good

You people say this, but then MS ponders the release of a local-only Recall and everybody loses their shit…

It already happened with Windows 7. They still released the patch there.

Got the Ultimate 2 Wireless (both the Switch and the XBox version), connecting through Bluetooth.

I just connected it and it worked right out of the box, however every now and again it will “hang” and the joysticks stop working. The only thing that helps is switching it to 2.4 GHz mode, wait a couple of seconds, switch back to BT and wait for it to reconnect.

Steam finds it just fine, installed through Pacman.

I’m on Garuda Linux (Arch-based).

Yeah, he asked, like, both his friends, and they were like “nah”, so practically nobody on the planet uses AI, man.

Can you read, mate?

It’s an optional choice for the search engine.

YOU decide if and when and what to send there. What’s the big issue here?

Yes, it doesn’t affect Ghostty in any way, shape, or form. If you’re not a FOSS fundamentalist you can completely ignore the whole license thing. It’s open source, it’s cool, that’s what matters.

Wow, that looks amazing! How does running a browser like Firefox work on this? Just runs a window regularly?

EDIT: never mind, just noticed that eDEX is not maintained since 2021 :(

Can it support regular system keyboard mapping? As in Ctrl+Backspace to delete a word. Ctrl+A to select all current input, etc., etc.?

It can potentially maybe someday be used in a commercial product without enforcing a FOSS license on it. Clearly the devil incarnate.

That’s basically the definition of democracy.

“Democracy is a horrible system, but nobody has invented anything better yet”. Can’t remember who said it. Churchill, maybe?

Tell you what: let’s wait the 5-10 years of consultations and see what they end up doing, then let’s come back to this discussion.

Are you reading your own sources…?

A directive is a legal act of the European Union that requires member states to achieve particular goals without dictating how the member states achieve those goals

Considering (another quote from your own sources):

Negotiations will now begin between the Parliament, the Council of the EU, which represents national governments, and the European Commission to determine the final shape of the law

They might as well look at the UK, and go “OK, lets have the user click that they pinky promise they’re 18”.

EU decides what must happen, and it’s up to the individual countries to put it into their respective laws.

Wow, it’s so weird that the article you linked lied, then!

Have you read the sources you posted?

Negotiations will now begin between the Parliament, the Council of the EU, which represents national governments, and the European Commission to determine the final shape of the law.

Nobody is mandating anything - yet.

Sure, it might end up like that, but - to date - the Commission has been rather sensible when it comes to such things. They also have the example of UK that shows that the law works against its intentions by driving people towards unregulated and more dangerous websites.

We’ll see how it goes.

NordVPN is made by Lithuanians but is registered in Panama, exactly so that they can ignore stuff like what you listed.

Wasn’t that just a temporary drop so that some whales could get richer on shorts?

My God, THANK YOU! I’ve seen this article in five different places and everyone is losing their minds over this, seemingly completely oblivious to the fact that:

1. This ONLY affects people who are using OneDrive in the first place.
2. It’s a setting that you can change any time.
3. If you want to keep the default but have a specific file outside of OneDrive just - exactly like you said - click “Save As” and store it locally.

It’s mind boggling how much people switch off their brains whenever they see Microsoft doing literally anything, and the entire conversation devolves into “Microsoft bad”.

I mean, it’s not misleading, it’s just stating the nominal price, that’s it.
