@arstechnica Lmao

@arstechnica it feels like almost every current crap around the world is enabled by one country in North America, either directly or indirectly.

@arstechnica Seems like Brazil should find Musk via Starlink. Then it would really be funny.

@arstechnica
Maybe AI could've come up with a better name for their product. <sheesh>

@arstechnica (beep)

@arstechnica Same!

@arstechnica This is akin to how FOSS projects if done well have a trust-less system. Analogously, this is Proton ensuring that nothing can and will happen to it in the future as well as they grow to avoid bad actors, takeovers, and other bad things. We don't necessarily have to to trust Proton and it's management or change in leadership because this new system won't allow anything bad to happen to it in any way.

@arstechnica
A disingenious article, on two counts:

1. "waste isn't a problem yet": yes it is. Mining tailings for example are a real problem. So is air pollution from making them (all PV factories are powered by coal plants). Of course, since this happens in China, it doesn't exist, right?
2. It's a research level setup, not a commercial recycling plant. Wake me when we get to that stage please.

@arstechnica
Paging Evan Dahm and his copyright lawyers?

@arstechnica
Anyway, who wants a personal bot that can only do what I can do already?

Gimme one with greater speed, greater strength, greater precision, and yeah, a weirdly much greater range of movement.

@arstechnica Oh excellent!
But does it have the potty mouth of the old Atlas? 😂😂😂

@arstechnica
So amazing!!

@arstechnica

This means ink cartridges too right?

@arstechnica That pretty much outlaws every game console. Great job, everybody!

@arstechnica itoddlers lost

@arstechnica c'mon, though. "Readers should remember that whatever penalties result will only be felt when affected software is performing specific cryptographic operations. For browsers and many other types of apps, the performance cost may not be noticeable."

@arstechnica That means these are not-so-secret, not-so-encrypted keys.

@arstechnica something something time ran out something

@arstechnica 🙏

@arstechnica RIP for a legend.

@arstechnica Do they have class action lawsuits in the UK? Because, I see a HUGE lawsuit against Fujitsu and the Post Office here.

@arstechnica

These lawyers should be in jail and bankrupt.

"the Post Office's lawyers had rewritten Fujitsu witness statements."

@arstechnica when AI does this, nobody will know there's a bug

@arstechnica "The Electronic Frontier Foundation called Google's description of Manifest V3 "Deceitful and Threatening""

@arstechnica Firefox about to become the number 1 browser.

No coincidence this is announced after their last month of unsuccessfully attempting to outwit uBlock on Youtube. Now they are back to block uBlock without admitting that's the whole purpose.

@arstechnica it's inevitable, adblocker affects their bottom line.

@arstechnica Read the room, Google.

@arstechnica I don’t get it. How exactly will they stop android users from accessing youtube without their DRM when dekstop browsers can? Let me guess, by suing people for ‘breaching effective copyright’ lol?

@arstechnica Just in time for the mouth-breathing voting public to elect Trump or DeSantis in 2024.

Prove me wrong, America. F***ing prove me wrong.

@arstechnica can't help but notice this quote

@arstechnica About fucking time. Enshittification needs to stop, and *all* of the Big Five are guilty of it.

@arstechnica The music, at that time, was out-of-this-world futuristic for 15-year old me. Loved that game!

@arstechnica The version on PS4 is pretty awesome, but for PC you cannot beat BallisticNG https://store.steampowered.com/app/473770/BallisticNG/

@arstechnica I had so many type 1 fonts in the 90s. When OS X came around, there wasn’t even a way to knowingly manage them. It stole my mojo.

It wasn’t just the move from press to web that threw a spanner in the works of many graphic design careers; it was eradication of habit.

@arstechnica Cool, I had exactly this combo in the picture with the Apple Laser Printer and the Plus. It weighted a ton and it took ages to print a „complex“ PS file. But when it worked it was awesome… I used PageMaker

“Adobe also says that PDF and EPS files with Type 1 fonts will continue to render properly, as long as those fonts are "placed for display or printing as graphic elements." That text will not be editable, however.”

@arstechnica Ars: "It's not the year of Linux on desktop; it's the year of Linux on a handheld."
Also Ars: "Windows was still reported by 96.21 percent of users' systems"

Why are you like this?

@arstechnica i tried my coworker's steamdeck and it was too big for comfort for my girlhands 🥲

@arstechnica People use Steam on Macs!?

@arstechnica I don’t stream, watch any streams, or have an account on any streaming service and even I think this is dumb. The people you’re targeting stream as a job and you’re trying to tell them how they’re allowed to make money? I don’t think so, Mr. Bezos. No one goes to twitch because it’s twitch, they go to see the people they enjoy.

@arstechnica We are quickly entering the canibalization phase of "advertising funded services."

The VC funding that kept these services afloat is gone. They need cash, and there's not enough revenue in the entire system to generate the returns they want.

Twitter, Meta, YouTube, Reddit, Twitch, etc. will all inevitably end up sucking every one of their "creators" dry, Jul their platform, and still never even get close to their ludicrous targets.

@arstechnica Was debating on doing like sewing for charity on a live stream... so like I couldn't promote my own charity fuuuuuu

@arstechnica Too many colors

@arstechnica is this a test to see if Disney or Nintendo sues him quicker? My money is on Nintendo.

@arstechnica@mastodon.social It wont be real if Sintendo gets their way
