Initial Public Offering.

Its where a company offers stock for public sale, and gets listed on the stock market.

Generally this corresponds with a company pushing hard to maximize profits over other metrics like user growth.

Yeah, that video was what I was referencing

Arc. The browser company is continuing security updates, but has otherwise stopped all development

Arc. They are only continuing security updates and necessary maintenance. No more feature work, no more bug fixes.

Nah, it’s abandoned as the company turned to ai stuff

Sony owns 14% of fromsoft and 10% of their parent company’s parent company. I bet that’s enough for them to push some shitty things but it still gives from some room to push back.

I just have it on a private Gitea server right now, I’ll move it over to github and send you a DM with some more details

Huh, I wasnt originally planning on activitypub in what I’m building cause I see little reason for my group’s needs, currently just thinking a basic api so you could hook several instances together. @[email protected] would that cover your use case or would a broader activity pub implementation be better?

(Also absolutely no promises this turns into something beyond just being useful to the group I’m involved in, but I would like to make it something broadly useful if I can with the time I’m able to put into it.)

I’ve looked for something like this and haven’t been able to find one.

I’ve started developing one for my local mutual aid group, but that’s still months away from an initial release at the rate I’ve been able to put time into it.

(Side note if anyone does know of one, I’d love to hear about it)

That’s certainly a choice

Valve’s added some Nvidia support to steamos, but Nvidia has not played well with Linux in general in my experience. Sounds like that’s gotten a lot better recently though.

Other methods of data collection can be scarily effective. Stores have identified people were pregnant before they knew.

Very likely they identified you as someone that could have that condition, and you noticing the ads after talking to your doctor is a form of recency bias.

You can collect almost all the same data from traditional surveillance methods. Collecting and processing mocrophone data just isn’t effective enough to make up for the massively increased costs from processing it.

Yeah, there’s just more effective methods to get essentially the same data.

GOG Seels DRM free games that you can download the installers and all necessary files. No matter what they do, once you’ve downloaded it, they can’t stop you from playing it.

They’re like the only store that actually sells you the game and not a revokable license to a game

USB A is bad and ditching it is the one good thing Apple has done.

There’s going to be a transition period, but we’re at a point where you can buy USB C peripherals for pretty much anything

Eh, there’s a completely independent reimplementation of the server, so I’d be surprised if the same doesn’t happen for the apps if there’s a real issue that comes up

If you self host bitwarden/vaultwarden, each client stores an encrypted copy of the database, so even if your server was completely destroyed, you’d still have access to all the accounts you’re saving in it.

Yep, it does!
