I always laugh when I hear about meta’s end to end encryption because it isn’t remotely true in the sense that people would care about from a privacy standpoint. I know it is the case for messenger, I have not confirmed for other meta services, but in messenger the messages are encrypted in the way you would expect with the one big caveat being that meta stores your private keys on their servers. Iiirc meta explained that it is still e2e because they don’t unencrypt it which I find hilarious.

I always thought of it going the other way, leave osx relatively untouched and make phones run on it, rather than taking ios as the standard.

Iirc the general assumption in tech spaces was that ios and macos are going to merge in two or three major versions, so I would imagine that apple is aware of this want in their consumer base as well.

Maybe I’m misreading, but it seems like this only applies in the context of sex crimes. I see no reason based upon the wording that they couldn’t do it for other things even with this in place

That’s just because amazon doesn’t tag it correctly, there were easily 5 models when you just had Linux as a search term. And I also disagree that variety is necessary for laptop listings to be considered viable, it’s not like non technical people are even looking at specs anyway.

There are quite a few listings for Linux computers on amazon now, granted most of them are in the premium range, >here is one in the mid range of prices with comparable specs to the new macbook

LOL those are all like $2k I’ll give you that if you want it officially supported they tend to come with those price tags, although i did find this one which is officially supporting linux at the midrange price tag Laptop, I mainly mean that the individual components are supported which you could determine through a little bit of research, but generally speaking if you don’t want to pay the premium, you should be prepared for a little bit of trouble shooting, but normally it is only for the webcam nowadays. Overall, I have changed the os on many of my laptops, and they have always either had no missing functionality after installation or had a forum that explained how to fix its issues that was a one and done fix.

if fractional scaling is causing issues just double your scale.I don’t think you understand what this is…

Could you be more specific about what you mean? I don’t think I claimed anything that would be out of the purview of fractional scaling.

That Is almost always a hardware compatibility issue, if you get a machine that is specifically meant for Linux, even the jankiest of distros will not have all but the last issue, and for the last one if fractional scaling is causing issues just double your scale.

It all but makes the law useless, but the law characterizes viable age verification as being self reported, so the Id wouldn’t be necessary.

I assume that it has to deal with industrial chemistry, many chemical reactions are too slow to be industrially viable, but if you add platinum or palladium the reactions become much faster. I believe the hydration and reduction reactions get sped up by its presence, and brief searching says that it is used in the most common reaction for obtaining nitric acid.
