I don't think the people watching this show are going to be the ones paying for paramount plus subscriptions

I don't understand, $600M? Is anyone using this browser?

Nothing big is wrong with them, the drama got blown way out of proportion to a frankly insane degree.

Bazzite is based on Fedora no? This could be very cool

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Graber

In 2015, Graber began working as a software engineer for SkuChain in Mountain View, California. She then worked in a factory in Moses Lake, Washington, where she soldered bitcoin mining equipment. In 2016, she began working as a junior developer for the Zcash cryptocurrency.

So lately I have been trying to figure out why people are calling BlueSky decentralized and I noticed that fun fact. It made me realize how cryptocurrencies are something else that was often technically "decentralized" but in reality controlled by a single person or group.

In case it's also not known, Jack Dorsey who helped found BlueSky is a big cryptocurrency booster.

Yes I know I'm behind everyone else!

First the away team spends a long time debating if they should proceed or... step outside for five seconds to call the ship. They ultimately decide that stepping outside for five seconds is not feasible.

But then literally one minute later Ensign Gamble is somehow beamed up. Presumably they must have called the ship to do this? Did they just... leave out the part about the (now obvious and real) danger? Was there a scene where Pike said "ok yeah his eyes are gone but you can keep going"?

Then later in the episode the away team spends a long time talking about trust and friendship while debating if they should walk on an invisible walkway instead of just like, I don't know, tapping it lightly with their toe or throwing a pebble on it first?

The Ensign Gamble B-plot was good and freaky and featured some great acting by everyone involved. But the A plot felt like it was vibe-scripted! I love SNW but come on.

The idea of ChromeOS is simple: it's just enough Linux to get you online. It turns a PC into something akin to a tablet, with a full-screen icon-based app launcher. The desktop is very simple and vaguely Windows-like: there's a taskbar at the bottom, a file manager, drivers enough common hardware that most things just work out of the box, including a bunch of common GPUs, networking including Wi-Fi. In terms of apps, there's a built-in Google Drive client, and of course the Chrome web browser.

This is more or less describing one of the many immutable distros that only run programs with flatpaks. It's entirely feasible if someone wanted to make a distro with even less functionality, but why?

Using a camera on public property in the EU is broadly very legal.

Anyone else here actively put off by Linux drama and headlines like "Torvalds Drops support After Clash!"

EDIT: New rule?

Jellyfin is great, but in defense of Plex, they announced that remote streaming would require one of the two parties to have a Plex pass was coming back in March so I don't know if it's fair to say they are holding anything hostage.

I just watched this episode recently. If Klingons don't care why should humans?

I think it's interesting how "maximizing for engagement" inevitably leads to slop taking over everything. I wonder if real people (with real money) will continue to engage with the slop? Some people surely, but enough to sustain these mega-corps?
