At a technical level it’s still young and most likely not as powerful as other similar platforms, but on a legal level the instruction set is an open standard and royaltee-free, so it can’t be embargoed through licensing like ARM or other instruction sets.

I’m happy to see more openness in hardware.

Which also had the effect on pushing RISC-V development forward, which is great.

Isn’t RISC-V their focus? I don’t see them picking an Intel chip whatsoever.

Not necessary, the browser can offer you to change it and link to ms-settings:defaultapps to get the user at the exact menu where they can make the change.

Other browsers can still point to the settings panel (ms-settings:defaultapps) where you see your default program association, you just need to change it yourself.

This is a good change security-wise. All other modern OSes do it, Microsoft is simply catching up.

Still doable for corporate-managed devices through GPOs, MS Intune, MECM, etc

So even with third-party app store, Apple still has the final say if the app can be listed there or not? We know Apple’s stance regarding game emulation, so even if the app is technically safe and respect the privacy of its users, Apple could still deny the app because they don’t like it?

Big yikes.

Now how does a non-EU developer test apps destined for a third-party app store in the EU?

I’d prefer for it to crash and burn, not nationalize it and bail him out of his bad investment.

One feature that could be neat is having a locally-generated summary of a page, as well as suggested tags when bookmarking.

One feature that is currently using a trained model for local processing is Firefox Translations. There are good use for AI that can enhance privacy, but yeah the trend of slapping AI on everything because it is trendy to do so must end.

Meh, /u/spez can ligma balls, I’ve logged out of my 16yo Reddit account. Lemmy is cozy, the users are mostly chill and there’s no ads except for the occasional spammers that are swiftly dealt with.

The article is already 9 days old, not new at all at the Internet timescale…

Also this issue, ooof https://github.com/opencart/opencart/issues/12939

We’ve yet to see any regulatory actions with real consequences, so yeah I doubt it.

Diversifying our energy needs in case of a crisis isn’t a bad idea, but we do need to prioritize renewable energy.

If you’re using a hardware token like a YubiKey then you do need to enter your PIN before being able to use it.

The main benefit is that you cannot extract the Passkey from the secure element (the token cannot be transformed from what you have to what you know) and it cannot be phished through a fake domain as the challenge-response will not match.

I’m glad to be in a union.

The kind of bug that makes you shit yourself.

Steam is using their own implementation that is also used for getting push notifications when selling an item on their kind of marketplace.

I don’t use that feature, so having a standard 2FA would be nice as I could back it up like all the others…
