The US government and congress, or at least the current republican one, doesn't seem like it actually wants big tech to be restrained, considering how they're railing against the EUs attempts to restrain big tech.

    It's mostly Windows of course. But some people in those companies may prefer to use Linux, and this gives a them a higher chance of being allowed to do so. I for one am running Linux in a company that's increasingly pushing for Microsoft stuff.

    Did they ever get into style? I use them, but I don't know anyone else who does. And some sites make diceware passphrases harder to use by e.g. requiring you to add numbers, special characters or capital letters, or by banning spaces. Or by banning non-ASCII, which makes it harder to use diceware passphrases in other languagess than English.

    This isn't quite following the format. The "And X, of course." line in the original is an example that's more well known than the preceding examples, something that ponytail thinks is so obvious that it doesn't even need to be mentioned (yet still something that the average person doesn't know about).

    Bypassing ads is already technically piracy as the concept of piracy is the idea you are stealing potential revenue.

    No, piracy is about distributing unauthorized copies of copyrighted works. Revenue has nothing to do with it.

    From the headline I expected there to be some minor tells in otherwise similar prompts which the AI picked up to generate different output. But from the example, the prompts are vastly different and the tone of the input is reflected in the tone of the output.

    The Nvidia driver doesn't require rebuilding the kernel, just a kernel module.

    I certainly do hope they don't end up with a solution that shuts out common kernel modules like Nvidia, VirtualBox or ZFS. There's no way they're gonna make an anti-cheat that blocks the Nvidia driver though, that wouldn't make any sense.

    The bigger worry IMHO is around what distros it will work on. If they disallow user-compiled kernels, they'll inherently have to only support specific distros (and derivatives which uses the same kernel), so I hope they'd allow all the common distros like Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, OpenSUSE and derivatives of these. I don't want to end up with these games being blocked by anti-cheat from working on anything but SteamOS and maybe Ubuntu.

    The best to hope for would probably be if they can design it so it works anything where Microsoft has provided a Secure Boot certificate, so it will work on any distro that currently supports Secure Boot.

    Hmm, maybe I was misremembering. On second thought I think it was actually 7digital I was thinking of that did the regional lossless, I forgot about that one. For example, the same album on Swedish and American stores:
