It's so dumb that you apparently have to pick a side in this humanitarian disaster, to the point where saying "hey maybe we shouldn't be killing innocent <Palestinians|Israelis>" apparently means you're pro murdering the other side.

The whole thing is fucked.

Yeah talk about burying the lede, who was playing him and why?

Unrelated but how would you rate sous vide cooking? I am tempted for a bunch of reasons but I'm worried it'll be just another kitchen appliance that I rarely use.

Who said anything about Netflix giving up a market, they just offer a worse service. But hey, iPhones offer a premium service, right?

Netflix being older is hardly relevant to this discussion.

Maybe you're unaware, but the higher quality streams are only available on devices netflix has certified. You can still use netflix on GrapheneOS but you won't get that quality, it'll be downgraded.

This is a common problem for cheaper Chinese devices as well.

This actually is an improvement. Not everyone wants to be on camera and for those folks, getting pushed off to the sidebar often means they're overlooked.

This at least means they're given the same importance as anyone else.

No idea what the rant about presentations is about, when anyone presents it becomes the main content and everyone - camera or not - gets pushed to the sidebar. You can also pop out presentation content to give it it's own dedicated window.

I hate teams as a communication platform, but the presentation and meeting views are actually pretty well done compared to the competition.

I feel like a huge aspect that this article and the GrapheneOS developers are overlooking is DRM content.

They're focusing on user security for a user's own data, but there's a whole other side to it with companies wanting to protect their own data - think Netflix and the like who use the same systems to ensure that nobody's been tampering with the device as a way of bypassing the copy protection of their media.

Now I'm not saying I support DRM at all, I'm very firmly in the camp of being able to own the media you purchase without restriction, but my point is that it's not as simple as Google being dismissive, lazy or ignorant but rather there's a lot of commercial sensitivity at play and if Google fucks it up, they could potentially lose certification of the entire android ecosystem.

The C&C remasters also did an excellent job

Not quite but tech for sure

Let's not underestimate them. Maybe they are running around like headless chickens without a clue, infighting and throwing tantrums.

Or maybe they're researching, planning and coordinating an effective counter campaign.

Assume the worst and prepare for it, never underestimate the enemy. It wouldn't take much to turn around things as they are and it's still anyone's election to play for.

Plus you know they will play dirty, count on that.

Heroes lives in my brain as some of the absolute best TV ever made and some of the worst. The first season is incredible, the drop in quality afterwards is shocking.

 

It's definitely a bit cringe, but enjoy!

 

There was a competition for UK superfans last month. They said they'd let entrants know by June 29th so I just assumed I hadn't won anything. I'm so excited!
