opt-in by default

That’s not really what “opt-in” means.

If the whole “square peg, round hole” BS was a valid argument for anything, all doors we go through would have to be shaped exactly like our own profile as we pass them.

They’re also prioritising a few great and much needed QoL improvements like vertical tabs, tab grouping and a new Profile Management system!

I don’t mind the order of path, arguments and options, but what the hell is the deal with long arguments with a single dash? i.e. -name instead of —-name

This is not defeat. It’s a strategic retreat on their part.

It’s embrace, extend, extinguish. Get workers used to going to the office one or two times a week whilst making it seem like they conceded, then slowly return to the legacy status quo.

Edit: lol why the downvotes? Do people really believe “the CEOs” have been “defeated”?

You don’t punish them per se, but you do sanction them.

For example, Bolsonaro can’t leave the country even though he hasn’t been found guilty of anything yet.

Also, someone who’s been accused of murder will probably be arrested preventatively if the judge in charge has reason to believe they will reincide before the proceedings are through.

These things happen all the time and they’re designed to protect society from further damage from criminals who haven’t yet been fully judged and processed.

That’s what I said. They’re under a criminal investigation.

[-] c10l@lemmy.world 61 points 7 months ago

Note that this is not “just banning someone’s account because they don’t like it”. These are people involved in criminal investigations. Shutting them down is meant to plug their criminal activities so society doesn’t get further damaged by them while the police and judiciary work on actually convicting them.

As an aside: I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. I disagree with your view but your question was asked respectfully and in good faith.

3rd party cookies make tracking users easier when the same cookie can be used on many websites.

Firefox does 2 things to protect you from that: it blocks known trackers cookies by default; and for the others it isolates them per domain so that kind of tracking doesn’t happen. That ensures you’re not tracked and at the same time it doesn’t break any functionality.

If you want to completely block them you can. There’s more info here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/third-party-cookies-firefox-tracking-protection

I finally got around to configuring virtual surround, so I added a section to my blog post describing my Debian setup.

This particular section is not in any way dependent on Debian and should work just the same in most distros that use Pipewire.

Also in the article (and in fact, core to the point being made):

There are a couple of catches, though. For one, it only works on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4000-series GPUs, such as the GeForce RTX 4070. Secondly, using it requires a game to support it, or for a modder to unofficially add support to a game.

What’s more, while Nvidia’s DLSS tech is a closed eco system that only runs on Nvidia RTX GPUs, AMD has made FSR 3 open source, a strategy that AMD thinks Nvidia will have to emulate at some point.

A few days ago I published my Debian setup for gaming. Let me know if anything in there doesn't make sense or could be improved!
