Yes, LNG is more expensive than pipeline gas. This is known. That would have been a good reason to build more pipelines to Norway.

In Kent's opinion the features were important to maintaining greater data integrity and recovering from various problems. Nobody else agreed and Kent wasn't taking no for an answer even from Linus.

The second one didn't sell well as a result of being scheduled for release on top of a Call of Duty and a Battlefield.

Reportedly it was an effort to suppress Call of Duty sales but en effect basically sacrificed Titanfall. Respawn management were very, very unhappy about this.

It's a shame, it was a great game with a fantastic campaign. I have a few hundred hours in the multiplayer too.

It would be more interesting to see bcachefs picked up there

If someone's interested in working on a port, that'd be an interesting conversation.

Pipewire also comes from Red Hat FWIW

And maybe people didn't hate Pulseaudio because it came from red hat? But maybe people hated red hat after they pressured gnome to depend on it?

Maybe Red Hat didn't actually "pressure GNOME to depend on it", and that's mostly a meme?

Rather, Gnome stopped supporting ALSA directly around 2007, and Firefox did the same in 2017. Yes, you could use alternatives like JACK or sndio. The point was that a new Gnome broke the reliance on ALSA, as a user, you had to migrate off ALSA which you likely had used for a decade before. Naturally, most users migrated to the best-supported option, the distro's default, which was Pulse Audio both on Fedora and Debian.

Which is known now, but was absolutely not known at the time. There was so, so much complete BS being spread during those 24-48 hours.

This happened Monday - not last Friday. All of this was known.

While I don't much care for either Kimmel nor The View - this is ridiculously corrupt, authoritarian, thuggish, illegal and arrogant behavior and cannot be allowed to stand.

And shame on Disney for caving. Cowards who kneel down to kiss the ring in the face of blatantly illegal threats are not worthy of a position of public trust. And over a merger no less.

I can't think of a better moral justification to prevent a corporation from owning a bigger slice of the ecosystem than to know that said corporation will dispense of any and all integrity they may yet possess to do it.

You're conflating cancel culture, done voluntarily by private companies, with censorship, with the federal government through the FCC is dictating the outcomes of mergers and acquisitions based on compliance with speech restrictions.

> The Biden administration had (and used) the ability to demote conservative news outlets on Facebook and Twitter.

This is categorically false. Are you referring to this story, where the Biden administration asked Facebook to take down Covid misinformation and "expressed a lot of frustration" when Zuckerberg told them no?

If not, then where did you learn that the Biden administration "had (and used) the ability to demote conservative news outlets on Facebook and Twitter"?

plenty of evidence if you look

Private companies were being pressured by government officials. That was already proven a few years ago.

Also, Kimmel is a case of a private company canceling him the FCC didn’t force anything.

They don’t need to force anything, just make vague threats.

See if you can spot the difference. And i am not defending past cancellations, but there is a not so subtle difference in kind here that makes these kind of both sides arguments fall flat.

This never occurred and you're completely full of it. No democratic government official ever pressured anyone to be cancelled.

The right was cancelled by the US government?

Yes, much of the anger is coming from the petard-hoisting nature of this, and people who spent 2017-2024 trying to silence (or worse) everyone who disagreed with them and cheering on governments that tried to suppress "disinformation" and other speech they didn't like, having to come up with elaborate justifications why It's Different This Time.

I agree that he's not that bad, but he's definitely not 100% accurate, in particular with respect to Intel.

Notably this is about the 3rd time in 2 years that he's reported that the Intel dGPU efforts are being killed off.

Even on the latest developments the reporting is contradictory, so someone is wrong and I suspect it's him. https://www.techpowerup.com/341149/intel-arc-gpus-remain-in-...

So far everything he said in that video has happened and he did not say that intel would never release another dGPU just that it would be a token release which is absolutely exactly what has happened

IIRC the "token release" claim was more of a cleanup after the first and strongest version of his "reporting" didn't really pan out. IIRC he also said that there would be no gen 3 dGPU release after the "token" gen 2 dGPU release and that doesn't seem accurate if the gen 3 dGPU efforts still exist 2 years later, in order to be cancelled now.

Do you know how many dgpus has intel shipped in the past 3 years?

It's not at all obvious that e.g. the drone attack, which involved >100 drones assembled inside Russia by human operatives who were able to safely exfiltrate, and 5 different storage containers, in a coordinated strike on 5 different airfields hundreds/thousands of kilometers apart and away from the border, is a less complex operation than the destruction of NordStream

It's a popular page in the playbook these days.

(I'm not entirely sincere with the original snipe.)
