That does not stop things from stealing your data.

No. But only because I switched to helix. I have used vim for a lone time before that. Only having vim on a system is fine. Far worse is only having vi. Which is almost like vim but missing a lot of useful things.

“I’d like to think that once people have the option, that they’ll be more responsible.”

I would also like to think that. Reality is a bitch though.

Death is not the only driver. Reproduction is by far more important. Death only affects evolution because it prevents reproduction. With modern medicine then sexual selection becomes a bigger driver.

And even then evolution will always happen as mutations will always happen. Even if it is mostly just random drift in features.

We see many aspects of this over and over. Birds on island tend to lose their ability to fly. Larger animals on islands tend to shrink over time. Even isolated humans in extreme places (like high up on a mountain or that do a lot of deep sea diving) show adaptations to their environment. Once isolated even small pressures on your ability to reproduce will affect the population over time. It just might take a lot longer.

From what I read somewhere one time they have had the implementations done for a while now. The only blocker was the HDMI fourm refusing to let them upstream the changes. So hopefully it won't take too long to hit mainline for this or very.

You shouldn't need tooling to fix an issue. Better for a design that does not require extra tooling.

And a £400 fine.

I believe that is what corporations call a tax on doing legitimate business. Never stopped them from doing illegal things. But they do like to complain when others do it to them.

Both examples have the same behavior for me on firefox mobile. So their solution isn't universal for all browsers :(

Making a programming language is easy. Making a good one is very hard.

Free-market capitalist thing would be to do whatever the hell you want to make as much money as you can. That's what you get when there is no regulations on the market to discourage bad behavior for competition, the consumer or environment.

"We also heard from attendees that the industry, which is perceived as struggling, would have difficulty selling games for $80 if GTA 6 came out at $70. We think it’s in Take-Two's self-interest, as a publisher and partner to many developers, to raise the price point for the entire industry."

That sounds a lot like an argument a cartel would make.

This one is very different. He first was an experiment that some liked and some hated. But they learned from that to create the steamdecks input. Which many people love. This is basically like the steamdeck's input. It's not really useful to compare it to the original controller.
