HDR is kinda complicated right now.

As it stands, it’s only available on the Plasma and Gnome desktop environments.

The HDR stack on Linux has went through a lot of change recently, and much of the stack has only just been finalised/standardised. It’ll take a while to mature, and to arrive on distros like Mint.

No

I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s bigotry to dislike Nazis, but you do you mate.

You wouldn’t want the Signal brand to become linked to it.

“I’m on Signal, would you like to chat there?”

“What, on the MAGA Nazi app, are you joking? Of course I’m not talking to you there!”

Ideally you want a broad spectrum of people.

I know it shouldn’t make a difference and people should base their views strictly on the technical and usability aspects of the app, but real life doesn’t work that way. Perceptions matter.

This source backs me up, not you.

Under the terms of the contract, the Chinese group has the possibility of converting its obligations within two years in order to become a minority shareholder in the French group - in the order of 5 to 7.5% of the capital, according to the documents obtained by Politico. But such a scenario, which would allow Huawei to influence Qwant’s strategy, can only be achieved if the Chinese group obtains prior among other conditions. According to Politico, this mechanism reassured the Deposit Fund. Qwant, on the other hand, assures that Huawei is not trying to get into its capital.

So, a 2021 source says Huawei, in accordance with agreements, could possibly take a 5 to 7.5% stake as long as they did it within two years. It then states that this isn’t something Huawei actually intends to go ahead with.

It’s been well over two years, Huawei indeed didn’t take a stake in Qwant, and Qwant is still entirely French-German.

With that above information, you went online and lied, saying Huawei owns Qwant. They do not. You lied. And now you’re doubling down on it.

Bit suspicious, by the way, that you’re a new account with only 3 comments, all of which spreading misinformation.

Qwant is owned by Huawei.

No it isn’t.

Why are you lying like this? What’s the goal?

Qwant is based in Paris and its owners are:

• Jean-Manuel Rozan

• Éric Léandri

• Patrick Constant

• Caisse des dépôts et consignations (basically a public investment institution owned by the French government)

• Groupe Axel Springer (an online media company based in Germany)

So again: why did you lie? What’s the goal here?

I’ve pre-ordered the Core Time 2.

Pre-orders are something I never usually do, but given this is essentially just an improved version of an existing product, as opposed to a Kickstarter, I feel more confident. And I can cancel the preorder at any time (plus I’ll see reviews of the cheaper model before the Core Time 2 ships).

The price made me wince, though. It’s very expensive for the functionality. Technically cheaper than the original watches adjusted for inflation, but that ignores the current-day smartwatch market. Still, I loved the Pebble, so I think it’s worth it.

I just pre-ordered one, but the price made me wince 😬

I definitely think Apple is less susceptible to this, but people seem to forget that Apple literally has an ads business.

Look at the ads in Apple news and in a couple of other places. Apple isn’t immune to injecting ads into the UX of their products.

Some countries actually hold them accountable and have reasonable privacy laws/laws about how you can use the user’s data.

Running locally is the answer.

Mazda is a physical dial by default, but if you want to you can go into the settings and enable the touch screen. Best of both worlds.

No it isn’t. Not even close.

Indeed.

The VW group trades places with the Toyota group for largest in the world.

VW is not Stellantis. VW is VW AG (often humourously called VAG).

Does anybody expect them to say anything else? Web engine development is more costly than even OS development, we’re talking costs that often run into the hundreds of millions per year – it’s virtually impossible to fund unless you’re a giant like Google or being funded by someone with very deep pockets, like… er… Google.

Even MS bailed and ceded power to Google, because it simply didn’t make financial sense. Apple does it but they’re pretty meh in terms of implementing standards and such… there’s a reason 3rd party WebKit browsers are rare. They comparatively run it on a shoestring budget, and they’re Apple FFS - their wealth is practically limitless!

People aren’t going to start paying to use Firefox, and that money needs to come from somewhere. The community rejects giants paying Mozilla (understable sentiment), rejects paying for Firefox (also understandable), and rejects Mozilla selling data (definitely understandable). Some say donations, but be real, that won’t make hundreds of millions per year.

What is the solution here? I’m not trying to be contrarian I just don’t know what they can actually do. You’d hope that the Linux Foundation or something would chip in, but nope, they help Chromium instead. I worry for the future of web browsers.

That said, I’m also deeply uncomfortable with Google being able to pay to be default search on so many products. It gives them a huge advantage. I don’t want them to have that advantage. It’s anticompetitive and scummy as fuck.

Mozilla are definitely between a rock and a hard place here. I don’t like some of the decisions they make, but damn, I’m not sure I have the smarts to come up with better ones, given the position and market they’re in.

Multiple browsers have said they will keep support while the code is still there (in Chromium it’s still there, only disabled for now).

When it is removed from Chromium, it’s probably going to disappear for most or all major Chromium browsers.

That’s not what this is about. It can’t even survive a reboot.

This flaw allows attackers with local administrator privileges to bypass AMD’s cryptographic verification system and install custom microcode updates on affected CPUs.

If you already have local administrator privileges, you have access to the system and its data anyway. Doesn’t seem that critical a flaw. It doesn’t even survive reboots.

Regardless, AMD has already issued a fix.
