That just sounds like a browser bug though. Client side code shouldn't try to work around it, the website should just notify all users that Chrome is broken and won't play audio properly


That's ridiculously naïve. You can't just decide to let your product be broken for 80% of your users because it's technically their browser that's wrong.

I see these kinds of suggestions from technologists surprisingly frequently, and I always wonder if it's a serious suggestion and if the person has ever worked on anything with non-programmers as users.


Potentially can’t notify either if you don’t have a UA string


You can notify all users until a major browser vendor fixes a known bug without a user agent.


At that time, about every audio library was broken for 80+% of the users. If you happened to maintain such a library, you received bug reports for sure (on your library). Chrome claimed their new implementation was inside specs, so it was unclear, if there would be a fix. As it happened, the specs were amended/clarified and Chrome returned to the previous behavior a few versions later.


Looks like it's for couch coop. If anybody wants to do this on a home PC there's also [Parsec](https://parsec.app/) or [Sunshine](https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine)


I think it's because it's an apples to oranges comparison. I'm guessing you installed Linux yourself on your PCs, instead of it coming pre-installed. Whereas for Mac OS, you can only get it on devices pre-installed, so naturally all hardware functions like sleep will work perfectly. I'm guessing if you buy a laptop from those distributors with Linux pre-installed, you will also get great hardware support


I'd like to see a comparison between, say, how many people want to customize their scroll speed (hard on linux, easy in windows/macos) and some other use cases, like how many people to sandbox and control permissions for individual apps (easy on Linux using Flatseal, hard on window/macos).

Then we can get a better sense of how niche these demands are, and how well these desktop OSes support them


> control permissions for individual apps

Sandboxing is ridiculously bad on all 3, the best being MacOS. But this is one area where desktop OSs are simply way behind mobile ones.


In case people are wondering how Twitter would know something is offensive before it's reported:

> the ruling that Twitter has a duty not only to remove the illegal content that is reported, but also to track down fundamentally similar content anywhere on the platform, from any account, and ensure that it ceases

So I guess we just trust that Twitter's "similarity" ranking is infallible


As well as "with a pre-computed index"


jesus, did he really do that

what a scummy headline


I tried Yaosobi's Racing into the Night (which is about a woman tempting a man into suicide [1]) and the AI understanding is completely the opposite lol:

Though granted, the metaphor in the lyrics "racing into the night" is probably lost on this AI

Would this count as stalking though? I pulled up a definition on Google and

> According to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), the legal definition of "stalking" means "engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for his or her safety or the safety of others or suffer substantial emotional distress."

http://www.oxfordlegal.com/legal-definition-stalking/

Using an antenna to figure out somebody's approximate location and publicizing it, when that somebody already has stalkers going after his children [1], seems like it would cause reasonable fear

[1]: https://nypost.com/2022/12/15/elon-musk-shares-video-of-craz...


If Elon Musk is legitimately afraid for his or his family's safety, it is strange that he did not file a police report and blocked people on Twitter for suggesting he do so.

Moreover, the narrative he's presenting doesn't make sense. Not only did the @ElonJet account not tweet for over 24 hours prior to the alleged incident, but people have determined that the location doesn't make sense for what he's claiming.


> people have determined that the location doesn't make sense for what he's claiming.

Details on this?


Hard to find the specific comment I was looking for. I think this is one of the main sources, in addition to ElonJet not having tweeted on December 13th (the day of the alleged incident).

Yeah the article mentions that they outperformed Codex, but was Codex specifically trained on code contests?


Care to elaborate? Has there been any instances of malware?


They follow bad practices. For example it takes them too long to update apps, with no appreciation to the update (meaning if there was a critical CVE ), and other. Look at this site[1], showing some reasons why google play store is preferred.

>For example it takes them too long to update apps, with no appreciation to the update (meaning if there was a critical CVE ), and other.

Fully agree, have some experiences.

Friendly advice: treat Fdroid like any other development dependency and try to be in control rather than being dependent: run your own f-droid repo which people can add to their Fdroid app as a source.


Agreed. Using GitHub is already a better option since it's eliminating another party (Fdroid).


Self-hosting a F-Droid repo means users can easily get automatic updates, which is important for security.


But it requires self hosting.


Would it be possible to host an fdroid repo on GitHub pages?


I don't see any reason why not. After all, GitHub pages is a repo, which you can upload an APK to.


Isn't that up to the developers of the individual apps?


No because they compile the apps and not the developers.


F-droid is flawless in terms of security.
