If Google didn't remove it from their browser... Not sure in how much time, if ever, jpeg xl would become popular.

There aren't just concerns, it's a f prediction.

redditors need to earn at least 10 gold within a 30-day period — if they don’t reach the threshold, the balance rolls over. For users with between 100 and 4,999 karma, they will receive $0.90 per 1 gold. Once you earn more than 5,000 karma, you can earn $1 per gold.

System76 is a bit strange. Their laptops are more expensive than other windows brands, while offering Linux. I'm not sure if it's really worth going with them, as a lot of other laptops ca work with Linux. Tho maybe I missed something about their laptops.

Framework I think I saw some Poole saying it has some issues running Linux with some component incompatibilities. Tho you may want to do more research, maybe even opening some reddit threads and dodging useless comments.

It can be compared and added to the argument of an European country which proposes to scan all photos sent to detect if it contains illegal children photos.

However, to do so, is a huge privacy issue, and as the ai has a very high risk to not work as expected, a lot of false positives could be sent to be reviewed by a person.

Do you know how much money Google has? It's enough to do whatever with that, even just keep the people away from competition.

Why Google did that or if it's even true? Not sure.

However Google is a big tech which develops software for a multitude of platforms, even Linux. They work on their own Linux mod : Android.

So they have all the people already in the company to do whatever they want on Linux.

They also have specific needs which may not need windows.

We however use excel and the advanced feature Power query and power Bi. So as long as a Foss alternative doesn't get to the level of the current insanely powerful excel and power bi, we'll be stuck on windows.

The EU is on the right track until... Now...

If this gets voted yes, it will break everything which has been put into place on privacy.

So I'm not even sure where european "privacy" is.

I'd just hope other countries and votes will put no to this law. Otherwise rip my encrypted apps.

Google only just recently introduced encrypted passwords... Before they were stored in plain text on your computer... Tho I'm not even sure how that encryption even works.

So... It may not have leaked yet (or maybe it has but Google suppresses everything, who knows) but I wouldn't trust it to keep something safe.

This is very old news. But I guess it's never too late to make a copy article for advertising...

[-] Tibert@compuverse.uk 10 points 1 year ago

Didn't meta (Facebook) also threatened to remove news from Australia when a similar law passed? And they did nothing.

[-] Tibert@compuverse.uk 10 points 1 year ago

What the hell is this? How can they even do this without getting deleted.

I'm not sure I understood it correctly. Do people just need to just look at the mirrored surface to get scanned, and they get a coin?

You don't know and don't have an account your bad! We have your eyes now!

Or do people need to read a privacy policy and accept everything before they get scanned?

Not sure how instances are advertised on https://join-lemmy.org/instances

However advertising new instances on a community may not be a very good plan.

The issue is in order to find your post on that community, someone would have to be subscribed on another instance, but that would mean that a new user would see that post (by some random magic because it will get 100% buried by the other content) by already being in an instance.

So why would the new user look at your post, click on the link and create an account your instance inseatd of just creating one on the instance where they got first?

For the users already with an account on an instance, i don't really know if it would really have traction. It would be like competing against the already existing instance + account switch or multi account use. (also same issue for the buried post maybe, tho if someone really wants to search for instances he could just go and look at that community).

So posting in a community may help slightly, but because it's not like a community where people subscribe for content, it may have a very limited reach.

Let's wait for the anti-reddit pixel art. Mods will "cheat" and remove it before it stays too long.

And maybe it will even be removed from the "public" data.
