If Microsoft was a smaller company, this would completely ruin them and the next headline would be them declaring bankruptcy after failing to fight off 50,000 lawsuits. Fortunately for them, laws don’t apply to companies their size.

Firefox can open PDFs and I’m not sure about the desktop versions, but the Android version is 117MB.

You need more data to recognize frames, but not a lot more data. A hash for each quality setting would be sufficient as long as they don’t start fuzzing the videos, which would be very expensive on their part.

It’s illegal to not identify an ad as an ad (unless you’re a movie maker, but that’s a different topic). All ad blockers need to do is read that indicator. That might not be super simple, but I have faith in the abilities of the brilliant people behind many ad-blocking technologies.

Myanmar’s average internet speed looks to be around 10-20mbps, so they probably stream with lower quality. Their GDP per capita is ~$1,150, so ads being shown to people in Myanmar wouldn’t be worth much anyway.

You don’t need an entire VPN just to block ads. I use RethinkDNS on Android and it blocks ads in most apps.

I only tried one example, so the sample size is pretty small, but that search engine seems pretty bad. I tried looking up “rust bevy points” in both Google and Yep. The first Google result is a library to draw points in Bevy and the rest are pretty relevant. Yep simply doesn’t have that result at all and all of their results are just generic results about Bevy.

I tried DDG for the sake of comparison and it’s somewhere in-between. The results are mostly relevant and the “correct” result is still on the first page.

Can they really sue (with a chance of winning) if you scrape content that’s submitted by users? That’s insane.

You should tell them that if users love ads so much, you should add a slider to let people control how many ads they get. Surely they’ll only increase the ad count, right?

Yeah, I have to give it a word to start with for every paragraph. I was wondering if anyone would get that far!

I’m feeling very I’ll.

I think it’s going good to go home and get a new car and ride the bike and get a ride home and take it easy and take care of it and take care and take care and get some sleep and sleep and relax for me and you can go to sleep and sleep well too if you want to come home to help with me to work on the bed if you want it to work with you and you can come over for me to come over for a little bit if I don’t have a chance for -

apples and eggs for the night and then I’ll get them in my mouth to you when I come home for you if you don’t get it or you don’t have a lot of money and then you will get a hold on it for the first one and I will get it for you to get the rest for you to do it for them to be done for the next few days and they will get it done before they get there so we can get it and then they can go back and see it and get them done and get the money to get it to you and then you can get the -

Bepsi and then go to the store to get the money for you and your family and you will be there for you to go to the house and get the money and you can get a hold up for me to go to your place and get the money for it and get the money for the money and pay it for it to be a little more than a little bit of the way to get you in the back of the house to get it to you to be honest to you and your family and I can go to the store to go out and go to the bank to see if you can go back to work and get a ride home if that’s ok if you want me and I don’t -

Gboard suggestions are very bizarre.

I just tested it by updating something and it didn’t work, so I would say no, we don’t have background updates on F-Droid.

That’s interesting, thanks

I’m not a huge fan of Maven either. I guess I’m just spoiled by Cargo.

with all the suck taken out.

You still need Gradle, so not all the suck.

I don’t like that you can’t use the Dark Reader extension on mobile in Vivaldi. I like all of my websites to be dark.

There are 309 million possible ways to combine 6 letters. I would wager only a few million are even remotely pronounceable. The notion that someone can claim a bunch of those words and prevent other people from using them, even in unrelated areas, is completely absurd. There are over 8 billion people on this planet, words get reused. They should just fucking deal with it.

Hmm, interesting!

Like I said, Bungie isn’t getting a dime from me.
