RAM transfer rate is is not important when swapping as the bottleneck will be storage transfer rate when reading and writing to swap.

Which I doubt Apple can make as fast as DDR4 bandwidth.

He has been running a repair shop for apple products for a decade. So he is more knowledgeable about them as well as more affected by their choices regarding repairability.

How do you think they 've changed? It could very easily be society being more open to discussing sexual tastes compared to 60 years ago.

Even if that was their point it's not true. But nofap is no masturbation period. Not just against watching porn.

Ads. To be precise this on it's own provides a way for servers to be certain of the environment the pages run (browser, plugins, os). Protecting ads or other functions come from servers refusing unattested configurations or configurations they don't like (i.e. running adblock, running firefox, running linux).

Given new commercial entrants into the Fediverse such as WordPress, Tumblr and Threads, we suggest collaboration among these parties to help bring the trust and safety benefits currently enjoyed by centralized platforms to the wider Fediverse ecosystem

In such a system, the server on which a post originates would submit imagery to PhotoDNA for analysis

This same technique could also be applied to other hosted media analysis mechanisms (e.g. Google’s SafeSearch or Microsoft’s Analyze Image API40

While large social media providers utilize signals such as browser User-Agent, TLS fingerprint,8 IP and many other mechanisms to determine whether a previously suspended bad actor is attempting to re-create an account, Mastodon admins have little to work with apart from a user’s IP and e-mail address, both of which are easily fungible.

So basically people might have joined the fediverse in large due to privacy reasons but if fediverse is to be "ethical" it should share your images with big tech as well as track you better.

He also laments Tor and E2E messaging.

Especially if his Mars plans panned out.

His Mars plan cannot pan out, no more than using rockets in place of airplanes for international travel.

The man is a compulsive attention seeker. He owns some companies that legitimately are good at what they do, arguably pioneers in their field. It's not enough for him. SpaceX being the leading rocket launcher is not enough for him. Doing something already possible, even if done many times better or cheaper is not flashy enough for him. He needs to go to Mars.

The problem with that is that he is probably going to at least destroy the companies having them chasing his pie in the sky ideas as well as possibly having people die (depending on how far along he manages to take some of his plans).

It's not corporate based social with a mostly US based audience.

It was literally started because of political censorship of leftists on reddit.

Plenty of knives are banned despite being much less capable weapons than firearms. And lots of them having way more utility than firearms in our lives.

The thinker. Does he look like taking a shower?

I rest my case.

The EU regulation is not in force yet. I doubt Apple's current solution is in accordance to the new regulations despite the title making it seem as if Apple successfully sidestepped it.

Another user in the thread incorrectly thinks Apple's current port has also circumvented the USB-C port requirement with it's current port.

While regulations can be circumvented (sometimes by design) there is no benefit in a defeatist attitude where Apple (and other corps) are inevitably going to defeat customer protections.
