- Comment on DOJ to ask judge to force Google to sell off Chrome, Bloomberg reports 1 month ago:
That would be the logical thing according to common sense and probably according to pichai a few weeks ago, but trump just nominated an anti big tech and musk friend to the FCC. musk is behind almost everybody in ai and autonomous cars so he’ll definitely push to hamper all competitors.
Sure, we don’t know how far would they go or how long will musk keep having white house influence and personally breaking up google is now off the table, but I don’t think they will get off the hook too easily.
So surely a very big bribe.
- Comment on Read-onlys are cancer. Post stuff you want to see. 2 months ago:
Sorry. The topics I know about and find something to share are the same for lots of other people and literally always someone beat me to it.
Plus I get anxious thinking that I’m gonna have to reply to a lot of people.
But thank you to all of you who do post.
- Comment on Living in a forest without any technology also works, since you will have no internet access anyways. 8 months ago:
nah, every little step is good and this ‘perfection or nothing’ attitude is very damaging to anything, including the personal and collective fight for rights and privacy.
- Comment on Riot Games talk Vanguard anti-cheat for League of Legends and why it's a no for Linux 8 months ago:
Original post is fairly detailed and very interesting. Obviously I don’t like but I understand their assessment.
However I do find mildly dishonest using yesterday Linux player count. The LoL Linux community has been aware of vanguard and the coming end for weeks now, and many people myself included have already moved on leaving LoL behind.
An honest and frankly plain interesting figure would be the player count from a few months back. Just in lutris website theres a count of over 32 thousands player with the game in their library, plus all the other ways of playing it.
This seems like just a last bad faith move so that we convince ourselves that they are right and that we were pretty much being an unfair burden to them. It makes more sense to say ‘Well we will deny service to 800 people because its not worth it’ to say ‘Well we will deny service to tens of thousands of people because its not worth it’.
Anyway, good riddance, already on better things myself.
