A cheap nonstick pan will keel over even if you exclusively touch it with soft cotton gloves.

What am I looking at?

What does “abstraction” mean in this context?

Given the recent increase in momentum for Thunderbird development I was somewhat sceptical of it’s value, but that feature comparison hits a bunch of my Thunderbird bugbears.

I might migrate for a tray icon alone.

“We leveraged the fact that many people know about the world and story of the original Final Fantasy VII when we designed the remakes,” Hamaguchi told me during the leadup to Rebirth’s release. “In this title, our general framework follows the original storyline, but at the same time we incorporated elements clearly not included in the original, such as the Whispers and Zack.” This creates a unique opportunity for a remake: uncertainty. “That sort of thrill is very important for this title as a piece of entertainment.”

We have a name for that, “reboot”. Or more cynically, “cash grab”

I love that the replies to you are half saying that it’s an impossible problem, and half linking to existing solutions.

It hits the “tethered network services” anti-feature which is hidden by default in F-droid.

That’s an A4-sfx right? What’s the bag you’re using?

Since the title gives nothing away:

This is an extensive article by Ed Zitron on how the technology that you’re required to interact with every day has become explicitly user hostile. It’s a 42 minute read, but IMO worth reading at least the first section.

Ed Zitron also has an excellent podcast on the topic of tech companies being awful called “Better Offline”

I’m glad 2015 Zach is as confused as the rest of us

It is a legal requirement in Australia that ISPs record all your “metadata” which will reveal torrent activity. The bittorrent protocol necessarily makes your IP public to peers. Copyright trolls are known to leave bots as fake seeders and peers to collect IPs to mass report people.

Tl;DR: not a good idea

But there’s a problem: a majority of the world’s graphite comes from China. While this isn’t necessarily a problem in and of itself, it’s always better to have multiple sources for any particular material, so that one entity can’t throw their weight around if they see an opportunity. And given the anti-China saber-rattling that a certain treasonous reality TV host regularly engages in, it’s entirely possible that global tensions could result in disruption of graphite supply chains, which could then jeopardize the aforementioned burgeoning US EV manufacturing industry (which that same reality TV host/convicted felon seems determined to ensure does not flourish).

There have been so many news articles recently that take it as a given that China having something (mostly semiconductor fabrication) is bad, it is very refreshing to read something like this.

Yes

This maneuver may sound simple, but it involves an entirely new and unique code for which the researchers have sought a patent.

How to make your discovery worthless in a single, idiotic move.

I have lots of games in my library largely because they are beautiful. None of them have realistic graphics.

Fi is one of the most beautiful games (visually and as an overall art piece) I’ve played, and I don’t think it even has textures

There’s always package forwarding. I’m about to find out how bad an idea that is.

Is this real? I have no idea how to even access twitter anymore

It does require a court order, but notably you do not need to be suspected of a crime.

Dont we have a right […] to not self incriminate?

Not that I’m aware of, but if you find otherwise, let me know!

They can compel you to reveal your password without a warrant but can’t touch your phone? Is that a state law?

I think the headline might have changed since you posted. What should they damn well do?
