This isn't as much about the social media platforms, competing with those is relatively feasible. This is more about the professional infrastructure market. Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud. There isn't really a European competitor there, the US dominates this market. We have a huge trade deficit on these services, which Trump "conveniently" didn't include in his trade war analysis.
Basically the only reason I read the article is to know if they needed a "backdoor" in encryption, guess the don't need it, like everyone with a little bit of IT knowledge always told them.
The new update looks great! I'm yet to try it myself though.
It includes a way to automatically have the voice assistant ask a question, so you only have to respond. E.g. when you come home it can ask: Do you want to play some music? Or when you heat up the oven, it can ask if you want to set a timer. You then just reply with what you want. This is the kind of interaction that makes it feel a lot more like Jarvis IMO.
There are ways you can set up a smart home without subscriptions, for instance using Home Assistant. But most people somehow chose to be stuck in these cloud apps with subscriptions. Ring, with a subscription for a doorbell, is wild to me.
I'm curious: the USA wants to dominate the final frontier, how will they ensure a civilization can thrive without woman in those new settlements?
Anyways, the idea is horrific and stupid, let's hope the US implodes.
That's bad and all, but: They are using Signal?!
Wouldn't that need another change in 4 years time, if Trump manages to get two consecutive terms himself? (For argument sake, regardless of his age).
How is the company fucking me, if I enjoy playing the game and get my money's worth?
Perhaps Linux isn't the right operating system, but it's competing with Windows, which is more or less a jack of all trades. Linux today isn't a jack of all trades, mostly a niche solution. That is fine, but we can then not pretend it's for everyone.
Meanwhile, I'll keep trying with Linux, hoping one day it will be the jack of all trades and I can seamlessly use it.
Just pointing why it's not as easy. People don't want to go cry at game devs/companies that Linux is not supported. They just want a plug and play solution. It's like telling people to buy a different brand of car, but they cannot use it on the same roads they usually drive and then say: "go cry to get that resolved". No, I'm not going to take a different route home, I will just use the car that makes my life easier.
The problem is that Linux is only ready in certain cases. For me, it isn't there yet, because I can't use it for my gaming machine. Every time this is brought up, Linux enthusiast shrug it off as "no big deal", you can game on Linux, just the games that use kernel level anti-cheat won't work. Well yeah, that's a bit the issue, I still like to play some of those games you see?
Meanwhile, I have Linux Mint running on a laptop that I bring on vacation. I don't game on that one. Then Linux works just as well as any other OS, no issue.
It's an Alfa, "Break" might be the correct terminology /s
Joke of course, I love Alfa's!
