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." 💡

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.

See that three people have to approve everything where one would do.

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

13 May 1901 | Witold Pilecki was born. A Polish soldier who fought in the 1920 & 1939 wars, a volunteer prisoner of the German camp Auschwitz, and a co-founder of camp resistance. He escaped in April 1943 & wrote a report about the crimes in the camp.

@element My team has been working on this for ages, and we finally got it done!.

Now, you can be invited to an encrypted room and read the history, if the room settings allow it.

Other encrypted messengers can't do this.

If you're interested in the security implications, there are details in the spec proposal: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4268

Google claim that their upcoming laptop is the "perfect partner to your Android phone" because you can "access files from your phone as if they live on your laptop" - but did you know that this is already possible, no special laptop model needed?

KDE Connect is completely free and open source software (FOSS) to link your devices together, supported by the @kde charity. It works on almost all phone models, and it does more than just allow you to access your phone's storage. For example, with KDE Connect your phone immediately becomes a remote control for music or videos playing on your laptop or desktop PC!

Don't get drawn in by the slick marketing - you don't need AI to make your life easier with technology, and most of the features large software companies such as Google are promoting have already been thoughtfully implemented by dedicated volunteers in the FOSS community.

W newsroomie Onetu doszło do wypadku. Jeden z redaktorów spadł z krzesła. Koledzy natychmiast dzwonią po pomoc.

Operator: 112, słucham?

Kolega: Stało się coś niewiarygodnego. Mój kolega właśnie wykonał ruch, który zmienił wszystko.

Operator: Proszę pana, spokojnie. Gdzie państwo są i czy ta osoba jest przytomna?

Kolega: To miejsce, które codziennie mijają tysiące ludzi, nieświadomych czyhającego tam niebezpieczeństwa. Co do jego stanu... lekarze będą w szoku. Czy to koniec pewnej ery?

Excited to announce that the @EUCommission has updated it's follow buttons on the website footer!
What's that first platform there? Could that be #Mastodon?
And where did the link to #X go?
All the posts and comments here on Mastodon calling for this, trust me we read them!
