This is equivalent to saying ‘guns don’t kill people, people kill people’ which is a way of implying you shouldn’t regulate the tool. The tool matters, and how its positioned and what it’s given access to do matters.

Plus, speaking as an OSS maintainer for some rather large libraries… Its obvious. You can also just close MRs and if the user comments and engages in meaningful discussion you reopen. Cost of a wrong decision is low.

Yep, just clariftying what that means in terms of open source too, which i know folks here care about

There are two editions of Gitlab - community edition (completely open source) and enterprise edition (closed source additions). You can run CE completely free. You can actually run EE completely free too, there are just some features disabled

Can you let us know what happens when you connect the keyboard? Also potentially the model of the keyboard.

Its Walmart canada (based on the sign in the background) so 99.99 is the MSRP based on Nintendo.ca. that’s a little over 70 USD

As a cloud engineer - renting any distribution servers from a cloud provider will result in a dev paying for every download. You pay based on the bandwidth you consume in the cloud (I.e., you pay per Gb delivered) as opposed to your pipeline like you do when you run your own private servers. You also pay storage costs per month. You’d have to maintain that “forever” as well, because people would want to uninstall, then re-install later.

I get your argument, and I’m not discounting it, but I do suspect that for smaller devs the price they’re paying to Valve is well earned on Valve’s side (and the fact that so many devs choose to use it would seem to bear this out). We should also consider that steam is essentially built-in DRM to games.

For larger customers, they likely have this infrastructure and get annoyed at the costs. They still go to Steam though because it increases their reach as a type of marketing strategy, so they still likely find the cut worth while. If Steam was more hostile to users, then people would actively look for alternatives (I.e., the Gogs of the world), and the publishers would have to target more storefronts.

So yes, Steam’s primary customers are publishers, but I’m not sure they’re really getting the raw end of the deal here :)

I think it’s more that a ton of popular python libraries (things like pandas, tensor, etc) are actually built in C, so python is just C wearing a mask

It sounds like this isn’t E2EE based on the article - there has been no papers published, and the verbiage in privacy agreements still states Twitter can decrypt your messages as needed. That indicates this is functionally similar to the old messages.

Not quite - batteries have something called self-discharge, which happens faster at higher temps. If you’re actively using the deck, it can get warm which speeds up this process. It’s not fast, but it’s absolutely possible to see depending on how long you leave the deck docked

Google is still planning on giving them the code; that’s in the article
