USB-C display output uses the Display Port protocol
This is why you should always selfhost your AI girlfriend.
Nobody cares until someone rich is impacted. Revenge porn has been circulating on platforms uninhibited for many years, but the second it happens to a major celebrity suddenly there's a rush to do something about it.
Flatpak is good for diversity. Users don't need to worry about whether the obscure distro they want to use has the software they want in its repos. If a distro supports flatpak it will work with most popular software out of the box.
French laws don't recognize software patents so videolan doesn't either. This is likely a reference to vlc supporting h265 playback without verifying a license. These days most opensource software pretends that the h265 patents and licensing fees don't exist for convenience. I believe libavcodec is distributed with support enabled by default.
Nearly every device with hardware accelerated h265 support has already had the license paid for, so there's not much point in enforcing it. Only large companies like Microsoft and Red Hat bother.
Dropping support after only 25 years? I can't believe Linux is contributing to planned obsolescence.
Smaller communities aren't necessarily a bad thing. Compared to reddit I rarely feel like I'm commenting into the void.
There's no reason to replace USB A on most desktops since it would break 20+ years of backwards compatibility without any real benefit. Maybe 1 or 2 would be useful.
Breaking news: children are more gullible than adults.
Smells like a lawsuit to me. Retroactively devaluing software that they were already paid for.
It's probably a scream test that they'll walk back with something more reasonable in the next few days.
They first started using USB c on the macbooks in 2015. There's no way that it took 8 years to get it ready for the iPhone. In that time they've also released several other devices and accessories which have used lightning.
To me this doesn't point to a planned gradual shift over to USB c but one that was forced by neccesity on the macbook then by regulation on the iPhone.
It's cool but it's more or less just a party trick.
