  • How come Android doesn't have a built in PDF viewer?

    Jump

  • Pdf has a mind-bogging array of features, which make it so entrenched in the corporate world with no viable replacements at the moment. Things like forms where users can fill them out and submit (surprisingly a popular feature), cryptographic signing to prevent tampering, DRM, etc. Heck, I think you can even add JavaScript code to a pdf.

  • Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour

    Jump

  • What do you mean? Can't you see all those innovations in the ads and tracking industry?

  • Oracle Java police start knocking on Fortune 200's doors for first time

    Jump

  • Why would anyone recommend their company to use Oracle stuff these days? Oracle should give kickbacks to people that recommend to use Oracle Database, Java, or VirtualBox in their company so they'll keep at it /s

  • Social programs ain't the solution they said

  • But the privatized prisons are local businesses too, right?

  • Stupid question but is it possible to get a virus from an MKV file.

    Jump

  • Thank you for the correction!

  • Won't this cause subtle but serious issue? Kinda like how pomegranate translates to "granada" in Spanish, but when you translate "granada" back to English it translates to grenade?

  • Every once in a while security researchers would discover sophisticated exploits that would allow malwares to take over your computer via multimedia files, but those are actually rarely exploited in the wild by run off the mill malwares.

    Unless you're an important person being targeted by hackers and three letter agencies, your biggest source of threat is running infected programs from untrusted sources, e.g. cracks downloaded from random torrents or warez sites, shady sites serving ads that trick you to run some executables, etc.

  • How do you sanitize ai prompts? With more prompts?

    YSK: lemmy.ml is managed by tankies, and lead lemmy developer is a tankie

    Jump

  • I may not agree with the devs political view, but I think their work developing lemmy is excellent and made me subscribe to monthly donation on opencollective. Lemmy is an open source project where the devs have absolutely no say over how the software being used, as evidenced by so many lemmy instances defederating from lemmygrad and lemmy.ml. Their political belief won't affect other instance.

  • “if you can obtain a copy of a court order...we’ll do our best to make it happen" Unlike Steam, Good Old Games claims they are willing to transfer accounts to entitled parties after a user's death

    Jump

  • Like other mentioned, a lot of old games sold right now actually packaged with dosbox. Some even packaged with Wine so it can run on different platforms. The real problem would be emulating current modern graphic stacks but that would be future preservists' problem.

  • Imagine inheriting a GOG account originally registered by your great-great grandpa containing ungodly amount of games you can't possibly play all of them in a lifetime.

  • AI layoffs

    Jump

  • If we fire all developers and allow AIs to program themselves, the AIs are going to commit virtual seppuku after a few days.

  • Ikea is hiring UK workers for its new store in Roblox

    Jump

  • Does this mean Roblox is becoming this generation's Second Life now?

  • Oh tell me again how it loads faster and takes up less resources

    Jump

  • I'm more concerned with Mozilla spending its meager resources to chase some fads instead of focusing on improving firefox.

  • Oh tell me again how it loads faster and takes up less resources

    Jump

  • Google does that a lot with their own web properties. I remember Google Meet didn't support background replacement on Firefox, but switching Firefox's user agent to Chrome suddenly fixed it.

  • Oh tell me again how it loads faster and takes up less resources

    Jump

  • It seems Mozilla is not immune to the AI hype. I just hope their AI endeavour won't kill them when the AI hype finally ends.

  • Oh tell me again how it loads faster and takes up less resources

    Jump

  • It used to be a lot slower, which is why when Chrome showed up with its shiny new V8 engine (and other features) people switched from Firefox en masse. Now the performance difference is no longer noticeable.

  • only as in free beer

  • Iirc they already validate licence online long before going subscription only.

  • Have you tried creating a throwaway account and post a wrong answer to your own question?

  • Is this actually credible??

  • The one and only time I had to excuse myself towards the end of a concert and miss the closing number was after eating at the enlisted mess and getting explosive diarrhea.

    I guess they're training their soldiers for biological warfare.
