TL;DR, Google wants to force you to use your phone and install a app to verify reCAPTCHAs.

[Tractix_ @Tractix_]

If I see this crap on your website, I will stop using it. Imagine requiring people to use their phones and a app to "verify if I am human" as if google isn't enough of our lives. Please fuck off.

This is also going to be hella abused by bad actors pretending to "verify" you.

@HSVSphere Depends on your use case but when it comes to anything Vulkan related, Intel is really ass, way worse then both AMD and NVIDIA. When it comes to AMD the biggest issues imo are ROCM and the kernel driver exploding every now and then.

If you're still not convinced that grub is total garbage software, Fedora has 428 patches to make it usable. Gentoo has 94, NixOS has 92, even Debian has 69.

Even dysfunctional distros patch Grub. Arch has 8 patches (3 .patch, 2 reverts, 3 sed edits). Guix has 19(2 are .patch files), and it's The GNU Distro.

Grub is not good software. Please stop using it.

@MKBHD For context here are some of the issues that the older modem has:

TL;DR they have poor reception, disconnection issues, missing calls, etc, etc

[Tractix_ @Tractix_]

@MKBHD There is something else that these youtubers seem to miss and that is the 10a finally switched to the newer Exynos 5400 modem (from the older 5300 which had tons of issues). That being said I am not defending this phone, 10a is what 9a should have been from the get go...

@GoogleDesign I wish there was a dislike button

@Sascha_To @notnullptr He genuinely did that, causing blood stains on his walls.

@sampavlovic @OpenWebAdvocacy That's a really dumb take. EU is forcing apple to give users a choice not to break PWA.
On android PWAs run on the browser from which they are installed, you don't have the bs apple does.

Cocoon gets BEST DEBUT INDIE game, yeah? DEBUT as in from Jeppe Carlsen, the LINBO/INSIDE guy and INDIE like Annapurna?!

I have no doubt it's probably a good game, but Geoff, come on man.

I don't understand how linux users are still ok with the state of debian-based distros in 2023. You still have to use PPAs which have 0 transparency and can break and also apt which will just leave half-installed files if it fails to install a package...

@sampavlovic Do you type the letters depending on how fast you run? 🐸

@phys_ballsocket Sounds like some magacon but for nerds wtf

[Tractix_ @Tractix_]

@caseytube @yuberee @NotGaylien @SlimesMcDingle Yeah I agree. Replacing everything just means that even people who have worked on source have suddenly now to learn how s&box does things since they replaced a bunch of shit... now also relying on Garry's QA testing over the QA Valve have done for years.
