Isn’t there just a video we could watch?

You know those “do not lick the flagpole” signs?
They’re not there because the building owners think YOU will lick the flagpole. They’re there because someone else already HAS licked the flagpole.
MS adds these things because there is legal consequence to them allowing certain groups to use their software. So they explicitly call out that those groups cannot legally use their software.
That way if an Iranian arms dealing pedophile is caught using their software, Microsoft doesn’t get sanctioned by the US government.
So… nothing concrete about accessibility tools after all?
Yes, at the point where the only thing hindering free software from running on a device is the policies of the organization SELLING the device, it should be the policies that change, not the ability of software to remain free.
I choose iOS because of the walls, but I also sideload software. That sideloading is limited in the number of products I can sideload at a time, and it requires a sync connection with a computer. I kinda sorta agree with Apple’s restricting of sideloaded software to a limited number of apps, but the computer/XCode requirement could easily be solved in other ways.
The goal is to make it difficult to trick someone into installing a malicious payload; Apple should allow individuals to self-sign software and run it in a sandbox— just like they do with Progressive Web Apps.
I mean, if I can download and run a PWA of a Palm emulator from a web page, why can’t I do the exact same thing with the same levels of protection with a native app? Only thing stopping me is an Apple App Store policy.
What about things that may or may not constitute doping? Someone with some cold meds still in their system or who huffed oxygen before competition? Someone taking meds for a known condition that still had trace amounts in their system on the day?
There are many situations in which someone may have a foreign substance in their body that could provide advantage where they may be unaware that the substance is still lingering at competition time.
Not to mention, you’ll get people eliminating the competition by slipping them a mickey before the event….
This’ll get shortened to “Debbie blows $1mil cocaine on Florida Beach, US Border Patrol” in short order I’m sure….
This is the interesting bit to me:
What’s more, the “Republicans for Harris” rollout is apparently about more than simply including names on a list. The Associated Press reported that the program will be a “campaign within a campaign,” using well-known Republicans “to activate their networks, with a particular emphasis on primary voters who backed former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.
Sure… Walter is a regular first name, and there’s lots of people with the last name Disney. It’s from “de Ysini”, and lots of people lived and live in the Ysini region. Company is from the French compagnie, from Latin companio, where we also get companion.
So “Walter of Ysini, Friend” AKA “Walt Disney Company” is a perfectly legitimate name.
As is Michael Mouse.
It’s the 1990s all over again!
I’ve been using vim/GVim for over 30 years; with only minimal tweaks I’ve used it with maybe 15 different programming languages/compilers, a few of which needed custom configurations written to do anything useful.
While everyone else is struggling to get on with the IDE du jour, I just get stuff done without having to learn anything new other than a new syntax and library set.
GVim is available pretty much everywhere? And it’s infinitely customizable.
It does have a learning curve, but then you get to use that knowledge for the rest of your life.
I guess it is in the “…and abetting” sense of the term….
Depends.
Calligra has a great interface.
I’m unsure however how it does with importing/exporting documents, and how well it works with OpenDocument formats.
LibreOffice can edit my ClarisWorks documents from 35 years ago and can also open and edit my OpenOffice documents and display them exactly as they were 19 years ago.
This is a useful read irrespective of the climate angle; it could apply to any topic in a news room, and identifies how much the organizational structure will affect which journalism is effective.
Aid? Those are US munitions Israel is using.
I’ve used Mac OS since 1988, BSD/UNIX since 1990, Linux since 1993 and Windows since 1995.
Due to my expertise with all these operating systems, I make enough money to have a life.
I predominantly use Apple hardware, partly because I can easily run all these OSes on it.
With an Epson, HP, Lexmark or Brother printer?
I sense another meme coming on….
How does that make any sense? They’re suing themselves….
Sure… in Trump’s case, yellow bile.
Yeah; just set your article to 2x speed :D
I kid; all this video is going to vanish one day, and the text will remain.
And for most things, text is a highly superior format. Sometimes you need a few images or a video clip to supplement it, but I like to ingest information while my ears are otherwise occupied. I keep my phone and computer muted most of the time. I often watch videos with closed captioning enabled on 2x just to scrub through and find the 10 seconds of actual information in the 15 minute video.
