It’s bait for the media (and everyone else) so they have something funny to feed their audience and can pretend it’s just silly nonsense while ignoring the part that authorizes the “President” to acquire Greenland.

AI needs to slop! Embrace the slop! And give us money for more slop!

Because they don’t understand that voting is just one part of the democratic process.

It’s probably also an attempt to dominate a woman by trying to force her into doing what he wants.

The thick plastic player with the ridges is pretty resilient, but above that is a reflective layer for the laser, and a protective lacquer layer (often printed on). If those layers get damaged and delaminate due to harsh handling, UV / heat, and / or moisture getting between them then the laser will have difficulties focusing and thus reading a disc.

Should still last years in such an exposed public free library setting where long-term preservation is probably not a goal, and get way more use out of them than sitting in personal closets where they’d last longer.

The CxU (among others) is working on making those clowns a viable coalition partner by taking them seriously and talking to them on TV. Maybe that’s not their intention, but it will be the result if it continues.

"we specialize in acquiring under-optimized apps in an industry that is highly fragmented. We use our optimizing operations, deploy its technology, and generate cash flow from the apps. "

“we developed an AI technology that knows how” “to monetize the right user at the right stage of their app experience”

(https://everything-pr.com/zipoapps-tech-talk-with-the-entrepreneur-co-founder-and-ceo-gal-avidor/)

Sounds like they just keep the apps around and try to squeeze as much money out of the users they have bought.

The only restriction is that they have to keep their modifications open source

And since it’s GPL that any additions are compatible with the GPL, which the ad / tracking stuff they’re likely to add likely isn’t.

And if all development effort moves to the fork, Zipo can still take that fork and redistribute it under the “Simple Mobile Tools” name.

Only if they don’t add their own proprietary shit, and if they don’t, how would their “bully users to pay for features” business model work?

According to https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/General-Discussion/issues/241#issuecomment-1837837729 “like 99% of the current code has been written by me and other paid devs, so no need to overreact the licensing thing” it seems like the remaining 1% is going to be ignored or possibly even removed if they think that leaving that in might open them up to DMCA claims by disgruntled contributors - which taking code from an open source fork would definitely do.

I don’t see any option in 1.2.13, and https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/issues/190 suggests it isn’t implemented yet.

Can it show each core’s frequency? Or is there anything other than htop that can do that?

Well, if they implement their web integrity DRM thingy in Chrome and Youtube then that will prevent anything that’s not a real approved browser from accessing the website, and with that the video streams. Not only Piped/Newpipe, but anything automated trying to access any website will be automatically locked out unless the website approves of it. New search engine bot? Archiving crawlers? Any type of third party program that accesses some website’s content without approval? Dead.

Nice anti-AMD framing so shortly after that latest Zen2 vulnerability.

Somewhat shortened translation:

This mainly refers to jawg.io, the commercial cloud service that serves the basic map. The map itself is 100% OSM data, but the service isn’t free. OSM themselves don’t offer a vector tile server, not even for editors.

Also, F-Droid gives every app with a hard-coded network dependency the NonFreeNet flag, including e.g. api.openstreetmap.org.

They’re discussing a new anti-feature like SiloedNet for such cases, because at the moment NonFreeNet is pretty useless, e.g. a Wikipedia reader gets that flag too.
