Let’s replace their customers with not-customers.
Shame everything you do on the internet supports them through AWS though. Maybe they need more outages to drive those customers away.
He does a difficult job of spouting the most vacuous bullshit possible while other people rake in the money for him.
They only said the bed was smart.
By saying things in public like “let’s rewrite the entire operating system,” Microsoft are not giving off reassuring vibes. Rewriting the entire anything never goes smoothly, and Windows has a track record of ambitious failures followed by more conservative releases that are more successful. They’re bringing these anxious responses upon themselves.
Over in the Linux world we have a cute penguin who leaves you alone.
I just hammer my brain with melatonin on top of alcohol, weed and extreme fatigue. It’s nature’s remedy for sleeplessness.
The tragedy is that more of these rich people don’t test that belief against reality.
I wonder whether there’s some shared development agreement too. Perhaps the OEM stands to gain some software improvements for its own non-Graphene devices, or perhaps Graphene OS will become its mainstream offering. There has to be more to it than picking up the small percentage of customers who shop for privacy.
I don’t really know how this works, but if they have the cooperation of an OEM they should have the same access to AOSP security updates the OEM has, and access to hardware drivers from a company that’s not trying to thwart them. I can see how this would be preferable to a basically antagonistic relationship with Google, who are making things difficult because they want all Pixel phones to run their stock OS. The thing I wonder is what motivates the OEM to continue a cooperative relationship with Graphene OS.
Yeah, it would be great if they would support a range of devices from whichever OEM this is, at different price points.
This was an update to the entertainment system that somehow had the side effect of disabling the power train while driving. You’d think these would be two entirely separate computer systems, but they must be sharing something.
Still, no reason to give them any more money.
Ha, joke’s on you Microsoft: I don’t have any mates.
They want all Palestinians dead. Nothing less than that will satisfy them. It’s a genocide, and they’ll consider this a mere interruption.
It’s just about convincing investors that you’re going places. Customers don’t have to want your new features or buy more of your stuff because it has them. Users certainly don’t have to want or use them. Just do buzzword-driven development and keep the investors convinced that you’re the future.
There are plenty of people who are smart with tech and engineering but not very smart with people, society and politics. And these people sometimes develop a tendency to see all society’s messiness and difficulties as engineering problems to be fixed. If you’re looking at it that way, it’s easy to become either a tankie or a fascist, because both offer neat engineering solutions that promise to make life work cleanly.
Israel only agrees to ceasefires when they think it will be useful to recover prisoners and so get domestic opposition off their backs, to extract one-sided concessions from Hamas before proceeding with killing them, or to buy time to plan the next attack. Israel wants to finish the genocide and doesn’t care about ceasefires.
YouTube’s ‘second chance’ process fits with a broader trend at Google and other major platforms to ease strict content moderation rules imposed in the wake of the pandemic and the 2020 election.
Oh goody, we’re going to get a whole new wave of far-right videos on YouTube.
