  How does this work is it a majority of MEPs form te decision of the entire country?

  I wrote to mine and one came back that they were monitoring it but that child safety comes first. The other emphasised child safety but called out that this is not fit for purpose.

  Oh you… recongising one is better than the other is not support for either.

  The company that pays me so I can provide for my family and live a life moved from workspace to office and I think it is worse by a long shot.

  Could anyone advise here for some rading on this industry and companies? I am out of the loop on how the different chips and makers interact and where their miches are. I only recently realised these companies whitelabel their gpus

  Can you fix mine too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft announces it will automatically install the Copilot AI app alongside desktop versions of 365 products like Word, Excel and PowerPoint this October⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Major fear is corruption of the culture. There are corpos and cunts that would benefit from Steam stopping linux suppory which is a major adoption driver. Nvidia is supposedly a more difficult gpu/cpu to use with linux and the current duopoly leans heavily in their favour.

  I didnt my finance and IT team did.

  If you ever want to create a google fan, make them use M365

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google fined EUR 3 billion by EU for blocking competition in online ad sales⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My point was it isnt a cost of doing business, if your costs are more than your earnings then it is just bad business.

  We dont have a view of how much profit this infraction earned them but I would have a hard time believing it approached 2.5% of their global profit.

  Any bean counter is going to love pointing out a fuck up of someone else that they can take credit for remedying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google fined EUR 3 billion by EU for blocking competition in online ad sales⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Look I am all for increasing fines but people need to stop discussing a fine’s impact in terms of global revenue etc… It is useful but in cases like this the question is do you think that 2.5% of their profits came from this one action, because if not then it was a net loss and the fine will discourage it going forward because it doesn’t make sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft ends OpenAI exclusivity in Office, adds rival Anthropic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbh as much I hate microsoft I have found libre office cumbersome. Hopefully just teething issues, but they werent present when I moved to G docs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Way ahead of you on Mint 22 or something like that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely this, they are also really shit at giving you what you like and want to snd you to the same hack wankers talking bro politics.

  Same for audiobooks, it literally never has the ones I am actively reading as jump back in options, just suggestions of pop psychology manosphere shite. I sear if I see another CEO or Jordan Peterson book… let me fijish the Mark Hoppus book goddamnit.

  Their androidauto implenetation is poor

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify Add Lossless Audio(24-bit / 44.1 kHz FLAC) for Premium Subscribers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Im not against supporting war drone manufacturers so much as ones related to Israel.

  I’d buy multiple subscriptions if the proceeds went to Ukrainian drones.

  This happens a lot. Its where yoga came from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Important Notice of Security Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll probably get the lifetime pass after seeing how cumbersome setting up jellyfin is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signal announces a backup feature that includes 100MB of storage for texts and the last 45 days' worth of media for free, or 100GB of storage for $1.99/month⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Its so annoying, I hate this “if you have nothing to hide…” mentality. The law sucks and is not fit for purpose, if it was its benefits would still not outweigh the costs.

  Anyone in that horrible space is operating at a different level, anyone who is not should be caught by standard policing and parenting.

  There is a brilliant podcast, hard listen but fantastic doc, called hunting warhead and it shows that this stuff is not happening on the open web. Your everyday scumbag is probably on tiktok or roblox where the victims might be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sextortion with a twist: Spyware takes webcam pics of users watching porn⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A friend of mine had this happen to him and he just told them to release it, nothing happened. He was willing to take the embarrassment if it did though is the crucial thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android’s most beloved launcher may be done for good⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fossify is a tad too basic for me. I use the dialler and calculator. Both have slight issues. The calculator always starts with zero so tapping 1416 will give you 14016.

  Dialler doesnt seem to wake or respond as quick as others.

  I take it as it is given I know it is private and open but still there are gaps in UI and UX with foss that I wish were a bigger priority.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This guy seems really fake, I have only watched a couple and it too much personality for what I want. I just want to hit the topics and move through quickly, MKBHD and the boss guy are solid.

  Other than thatnIbhave only ever heard of these guys when they have been acting like dicks internally and externally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just want a projector at that point, seems we are destined to bounce around aspect ratios and that might help the black bar situation.

  NewPipe told me I was IP banned last week but it went away.

  I’d rather stop using than give them money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung schedules Galaxy event 5 days before Apple's⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dedicated chips, fair enough. That said they dont appeal to me whatsoever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung schedules Galaxy event 5 days before Apple's⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In what aspect are the leading? Their AR/VR was their last innovation and it flopped. It was like the fourth of its kind to market.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let Google know what you think about their proposed restrictions on sideloading Android apps. - Android developer verification requirements [Feedback Form]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In what way is it restricted? I dont do much but being able to explore to find my files is necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung schedules Galaxy event 5 days before Apple's⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They are the least innovative tech company listed. They are aimless and fear change. Apple Intelligence being what breaks them is unfortunate because they will take the wrong learning and take away their uniqer characteristic of being privacy focused.

  I would actually move to apple if they werent so closed down and boring, if they stay with on device provacy focused AI people like me would switch. Then again teir pricing is shocking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5 may get more price increases in the US, analyst warns⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Got astrobot for my son and GoW for myself.

  Other than that it was useless and both of those are not enough to stay. Finally committed to building a linux gaming setup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let Google know what you think about their proposed restrictions on sideloading Android apps. - Android developer verification requirements [Feedback Form]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Get a pixel secondhand and put an android fork on it. Its what I will likely do because I am sick of Google in my life and dont want to pay through the nose for a glossy shit that doesnt even have a file manager from apple.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ffs if I have to move to apple before the third option is stable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure the boss cant take tips legally speaking. Tax the income, let the business survive based on its ability to cover its costs.
