I think people are mostly upset about some bank telling them how they are allowed to spend their money (by restricting what is available for sale). What if those big banks decide that, say, R-rated movies are too much of a liability for them and demand retailers stop carrying them? I’m not sure what an alternative would be, but allowing a bank to decide what you can spend your money on is a bad precedent given that everyone is basically required to have a bank account these days.
To be clear, I’m talking primarily about Visa and Mastercard, the payment processors, not Valve. Those two companies have a pretty big stranglehold on the payment processing industry outside of possibly east Asia? I heard japan has their own payment processor, I assume it isn’t limited to just Japan.
It’s about the danger posed by a monolithic government or corporation deciding what things get to be traded and sold. Like a fucked up capitalist version of that poem “First They Came”.
If you’re still using firefox, right click -> copy clean link. works most of the time.
edit: on desktop, idk if mobile supports it or not. Good suggestions below though for mobile.
A friend of mine just installed CachyOS Desktop Edition (plasma) and I brought up the HDR calibration in windows, thinking that was something linux still didn’t have. Turns out at least some DEs (i think thats a DE thing?) do have decent HDR support now. I still want RTX features tho.

People suck, hopefully you were able to take her to court for defamation because what she did is almost the definition of libel where I live (Maryland, US).
I will say that I would absolutely be championing linux if not for relying way too much on RTX features For example, their inverse tone mapping (SDR-to-HDR) is far far superior to the Windows AutoHDR solution as long as you’re willing to spend a bit of time tuning it for your display. That said, if anyone wants to do an equivalent trade for a freshly re-pasted 3080 10GB I might consider going AMD lol.
Damn, that sucks. It’s been forever since I set that one so I checked and it looks like I’m using the registry edit method for that particular one. My start menu has looked like this for as long as I can remember so I’m not sure what’s keeping it from changing with updates. searching for anything not on my local system results in ‘no results found’
edit I am using OOSU10 but unless it has some auto-reset feature then it isn’t what’s keeping my changes in place through upgrades. I’m even on the beta channel for windows.
I’ve never had that issue on Professional editions of Windows 10 or 11. Home edition? Maybe. But Pro lets you override almost anything you want with group policies.
Second paragraph isn’t wrong though.
They’re surprisingly popular state-side. Especially in big party cities like Miami.
How is this not a stalking app?
But it has 360 degree wivel!
Verizon is finally laying fiber optic in western maryland. I can’t wait to ditch Starlink and save ~$100 a month in the process.
Oh, so that’s why my internet went out for 4 hours yesterday. RIP.
Obviously you just forgot to lick the tines!
What kind of bulb is it? There’s a chance that homebridge or something could control it through an API without needing the app.
The article mischaracterized the protest. If you read the change.org petition it’s about protesting Visa, Mastercard, and moral advocacy groups. The petition even goes as far as to point out the hypocrisy of the decision.
I wish I had a technical solution but I really don’t. As much as I can’t stand cryptocurrency in the way that it’s being implemented, this is the kind of problem blockchain technology could potentially eliminate. I think the bigger problem is social - people trust credit card companies because of things like charge backs and fraud protection. Shopping in a store is one thing but when you’re buying from a faceless digital store front people seem to want a third-party to secure things and protect their money.
