conciselyverbose

There are a bunch of free channels on the internet that some TVs can just stream without a dedicated app. These channels are supported by ads like cable/whatever channels, but not locked behind a subscription. VLC is supporting whatever formats they use to allow (or make it easier; IDK) people to watch them if they want.

The other part is that they’re working on web assembly to allow sites to use VLC as their embedded video player.

I’ve had decent experience with nobara with a 2080. I had a couple hiccups early, and had to reinstall basically right away, but after that it’s been solid.

But still declared them liable for the actions of their users.

Bad ruling, just less bad than it could be.

“AR” has always been sci-fi. The details you’re discussing have never been part of the discussion because it was fiction.

This is far more AR than any of the shitty displays that project on glasses (all of which also are distorting and changing the light from the real world) and don’t have meaningful capacity to interact with the real world inputs. Any reasonable definition of AR absolutely is including the Apple Vision. It’s the real world, in real time, with all the inputs and processing capability required to interact with it.

All your other complaints have nothing whatsoever to do with your silly definition of AR made for the sole purpose of excluding the most exciting piece of tech in the space ever. Weight and battery capacity are also completely unrelated to any possible valid definition of what AR is.

Apple hasn’t called it AR.

But it absolutely is AR. If you can see the real world in real time, with additional information on top of it, that’s AR. Your requirement that it not be on a screen is completely arbitrary and has no basis behind it whatsoever.

Facebook can and will.

The entire reason they don’t on Android is because there’s literally no benefit to it.

I’m not talking about permissions.

I’m talking about their store policies. Google is far more permissive about malicious behavior than Apple is. Companies that have no reason to bypass the play store because it already allows them to spy to an obscene degree will bypass the App Store when given the opportunity, because it does not.

Because Google already lets apps do anything they want no matter how malicious. There’s no reason to leave the Play Store.

Apple has people sneak past their rules on occasion because screening is hard, but they have and enforce rules that protect your privacy that malware companies like Facebook don’t want to follow.

This is literally a response to the fact that people putting things on social media is going to make it much harder for them to get a desirable job.

That’s the entire purpose of the post you were somehow disagreeing with.

You understand that they can find your social media regardless, right?

If you have it and publicly post, it’s not private and they can and should consider your public behavior as part of the process of deciding whether to hire you.

They don’t need to make it impossible to do anything else. They just need to make their shitty proprietary solution the lowest friction.

Because it’s not valid to vote to take away basic human rights, like the freedom to use simple, necessary modern tools.

The fact that the law is on the books is a restriction completely independent of any enforcement.

It cannot possibly be acceptable.

It doesn’t matter if every single person in the town voted to put a rule on the books taking away a basic freedom.

Opposing aggressively authoritarian violations of basic human autonomy is not supporting dictatorship. There are some things a government unconditionally should not have the capacity to restrict. Being a modern human using basic modern tools is one of them.

I’m not. I’m dead serious.

Having the law on the books, without enforcement, should get their charter revoked. It is not acceptable.

This is absurd. People run into each other occasionally, with or without cell phones.

This isn’t a minor violation. It’s completely, unforgivably, obscene. There’s no possible scenario where it could possibly be justified or forgiven, and no possible scenario where a government could possibly be excused in having that authority.

Noise actually materially affects other people.

Having a smart phone doesn’t. Even allowing a rule like this to get to a vote should get their government disbanded and forced to re-form from scratch or fall under another municipality’s jurisdiction.

No smartphones in the street, or parks or shops, whatever, it’s their town.

Screw that. A town shouldn’t have the authority to take away basic freedoms like that, even if literally every citizen directly votes in favor of doing so.

It could just be that windows is obnoxious and likes to do its best to break shit, and they don’t want to deal with helping people figure out how to repair it in limited dev time.

Because they want control.
