How is it wasted? So much of their revenue comes from search deals, which are floundering in the courts and being displaced in the wild (by LLM-powered search).

Now, people are paying money to use these LLM products. Which is a niche pricing strategy for search engines.

That's a disappointing answer if it is really the case. One has to question why they can't forward port their changes for a handful of years.

The Fairphone is aiming to upstream their new phone's drivers. Chromebooks typically run a much closer to mainline kernel than Android devices.

1. You are assuming the goal is to spend as little money on art as possible. Which isn't the case for a lot of us.

2. Not everything is on Spotify. E.g. the song Golden Girl by Frank Ocean. Or most Neil Young songs.

Maybe you are confused because the old client name, Riot, was sunset in favor of Element?

AIUI the protocol was and is called Matrix. There seems to be no intention to depart from that name.

NAT64 and DNS64 can help your v6-only hosts cope with the ubiquity of v4-only hosts.

Tiny houses in the desert. Jk I dunno but presumably parts or the whole things will end up in Mexico.

I also find it interesting, because I'd be surprised if many of those people who live in small, southern towns are not low-income. Trying to live beyond one's means is the best way to stay broke.

So they substituted federal subsidies for VC funding so they could keep the cheap rideshare party going? Instead of fixing their bus routes? Must be nice.

You can download it from their github apparently.

I just limp along with aurora, though.

Our infra team decided to deploy v12 in the last year... But only for GitLab. We are still deploying with v9.6 for some other new projects.

If you have a problem with Canada gooses, then you have a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate.

Honestly I want to say something to the employees at grocery stores... They are more exposed than any of us to PBAs on receipt paper.

Local libraries, print shops... but yeah that may be an attack vector.

Is that what happened last night? Or was Elon just trying to disrupt Ukrainian communications on their own territory while they conducted their recent attack on Crimea?

Is this supposed to be a thread? Why would someone post one sentence and then just trail off like that? This feels like half of a thought, not particularly notable or important.
