IIRC when it was implemented in the first place, it seemed like lemmy.world had actually been contacted by some stakeholder with a DMCA-style request, even though the community was not actually originating on lemmy.world. Explaining how federation worked to lawyers didn’t matter much and with .world at the time becoming one of the larger and more visible instances that seemed like the best way to avoid the headaches. Initially they defederated with dbzer0 entirely before developing a way to block just the community.

Despite an internal investigation that exonerated McClain, Worden continued to promote the false claims to news outlets and hired a media consultant to amplify them. She also publicly released her former spouse’s personal information.

Huh, I wonder why there were problems in that marriage?

I hate this, +1

I’ve worked a number of jobs in TV, most behind the scenes. I’ve long said most of those jobs people at home wouldn’t know exist unless I make a mistake. That does not mean they were simple jobs.

Many people do not understand the amount of work that goes into other jobs they have never done, nor do they understand what makes someone good at that job.

Alexander Mikushin, a priest at the Pokrovsky Cathedral in the city of Barnaul, said Russians should “ask God” to bring “wisdom” to officials at Roskomnadzor who approved the decision to block the service. Mikushin described Telegram as more than a communication tool, calling it a space “for prayer, heartfelt conversation, and helping one’s neighbor.”

As someone who hasn’t paid a lot of attention to this case other than general curiosity out of how odd it is. I had wondered why the family hadn’t been able to give the police the security footage sooner.

When Nancy Guthrie went missing, officials said she had a doorbell camera, but that it had been forcibly removed, and she did not have a subscription.

I’ve found that to be the case more and more with The Atlantic in recent years: long articles that might sound impressive but don’t actually say much or could’ve said things much more succinctly. I usually don’t read their articles anymore.

Someone posted about a read-only Linux client they made that looked like it came straight out of Windows 7/Vista. It was probably at least a year ago and I’m not finding it so far.

You don’t even need IMAX for 4K; ordinary 35mm film can normal scan to a nice 4K video. Films shot on the 65mm IMAX cameras would probably make good 8K content, but most of that was educational films, not what most people apparently want to watch all the time.

The digital IMAX projections were actually a step backwards in resolution.

I’m surprised Valve isn’t a member either

For all the breathless enthusiasm from the author, I feel like he’s overselling a lot of the impacts:

For Chief Technology Officers and IT procurement managers, the viability of Linux on Apple Silicon introduces a complex variable. Historically, engineering teams demanding Linux were relegated to Dell XPS or Lenovo ThinkPad units, which, while capable, often trail Apple in battery efficiency and thermal management. If the M3 becomes a first-class citizen in the Linux ecosystem, organizations may face increased pressure to support Apple hardware for backend engineers and DevOps professionals who require native Linux environments rather than virtualization.

Corporate purchases typically purchase new products either direct from the manufacturer or from the authorized resale channel. The M3 was introduced over two years ago and the only products I see Apple still selling with the M3 architecture are the Mac Studio (M3 Ultra) and iPad Air (M3). So any IT manager looking to procure a MacBook for an employee would need to find new old stock still in resale channel inventory or purchase a second-hand device, all for something that the article admits is still in an alpha stage of usefulness.

The progress the Asahi project is making on Apple Silicon is fantastic and important, but I think it will primarily benefit private individuals, not businesses. Perhaps in the future as the developers become more adept at reverse engineering hardware and if Apple makes fewer changes between generations then Linux could start supporting active Apple products, but it’s not there yet.

With Apple putting M-series chips in iPads and Linux gaining support for those chips, I’ll be very curious to see if we start seeing more Linux tablet support for iPads.

I’m unsure if his response is more on the policing language side or more on the advisory, watch out, if you’re going to work for a government agency that is funded by politicians there’s a certain expectation for public decorum that has to be maintained so some congressman looking to score points doesn’t use you as a reason to cut funding. My guess, given he tried to help reinstate the internship, is that it was the latter.

 

It’s kind of worse when you see it on the map, because it appears to be running parallel to an existing developed area, like they built a bypass through the rainforest for the climate summit, not a road for someplace previously unconnected.

 

I had two BlackBerry devices for work, right about the time they were going away. I'd heard the keyboard was good on earlier models but it seemed like the quality had gotten pretty cheap on the later phones. The BlackBerry 10 OS on my last phone was actually pretty good, and probably would've kept them in the market if they'd launched it 5 years earlier.
