in 2034 some nerd is going to figure it out and make a youtube video titled "Sony already cured cancer 45 years ago, but for some reason nobody bought the cure!"

unfortunately sony already merged the departments responsible into each other 15 times and have no clue where the design documents ended up, while most former employees are now stuck in retirement homes with dementia. so it's up to a crack team of internet weirdos to hunt down any remaining sony employee who might know how the cancer cure was made.

eventually they find a single japanese guy who retired and decided to start a ramen shop in hokkaido, who casually goes "haha yes, i remember when we cured cancer, good times, the bubble economy sure was wild huh. but now my passion lies in making the perfect tonkatsu ramen"

This case focuses on Apple's obligations under Article 6(7) of the #DMA. Specifically how Apple must open up software & hardware interoperability on its smartphones and tablets.

The EU Court explicitly recognised this case will likely have "a significant impact on the supply of #FreeSoftware." 💡

🧵 2/3

this code uses a datatype with the questionable name of "tribool", but when I looked into it to make fun of it I discovered something terrible:

It's an enum with 4 possible values. It's a goddamn quadbool

GST::FAddRgch ahh yes, methods written by people who were scared of vowels and thought the solution was Hungarian notation

I keep seeing a lot of advice for writers saying "don't use this, don't use that" because it will show up as AI written.

I hate it. It makes me worried. A lot of the "AI" traits in writing overlap with storytelling language. Spoken language.

When I write, as a storyteller, I use em dash when I would take a breath or a pause on stage, instead of finishing a thought. I use triple adjectives because in spoken word they add to the rhythm.

You REALLY should remove the tracking codes from Youtube links now.

They started showing a popup about who sent the link and offering a (maybe new) DM feature, potentially revealing your personal account name to anyone who opens the link.

In April 1994 I started working on the Opera browser with Geir Iversøy, my co-founder. I worked at Opera for 17 years, leaving it after disagreeing with investors about the way forward. Two years later I co-founded @Vivaldi with Tatsuki Tomita and Anne Stavnes. This was in 2013.

For more than 30 years we have provided alternatives to Big Tech. First with Opera and now with Vivaldi. The focus has always been quite different from our competitors. More features, more privacy, more flexibility. Lately it has also meant the choice to avoid things like Crypto and Blockchain, avoid integrating AI and avoid integrating surveillance. This is not given. Most of our competitors are building in one or more of the above.

If you like what we are doing and our stand, feel free to download Vivaldi. If you are already with us, please tell your friends.

I FUCKING KNEW IT

I hacked out the supported monitor check (update_supported_display in pdi_main.js) and guess what? I can change most of the options now, even though they're not supported by Windows or the "official" Chroma Tune app.

they wrote the app in C++
in MFC
so they're using some embedded COM HTML view

this isn't Electron, it's a DIY Electron clone
