On desktop, I'm really wondering why people use it. I mean it's not pre-installed for windows, what makes people choose Chrome in 2023?

Open source community figures out problems with performance in Starfield

I'll give a different perspective on what you said: dx12 basically moved half of the complexity that would normally be managed by a driver, to the game / engine dev, which already have too much stuff to do: making the game. The idea is that "the game dev knows best how to optimize for its specific usage" but in reality the game dev have no time to deal with hardware complexity and this is the result.

Ordinary WiFi can now identify people with near perfect accuracy
If you read the article ( https://dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10.1145/3719027.3765062 ) they are testing this in an EXTREMELY controlled enviroment and directed subjects... I have my doubts that this could provide any insight on whether this is even feaseble for public surveillance, let alone effective...

My little sub of 13, no rules and like 5 posts has been threatened.

Imaginary problems make software bad and keep programmers sane
I think the article is partially true but overly dramatic... "imaginary problems" are usually just overkill solutions to actual issues, and are a nice way to balance out the stress of working on bugs 24/7, which is not feasible anyway

More couples are choosing a ‘dual income, no kids’ lifestyle
Reply in thread
The source you linked tells that more developed countries have less kids, which is almost unrelated to how "affordable" having a child is, which infact have the opposite trend.

What are some of the obstacles of making an existing game open source?
I'll add something which is not mentioned: Unreal Engine, one of the most popular game engines, is source available, but not open source. Many games modify it but its then impossible to release those sources. I'm guessing that it's the same with many other engines...

Il nuovo status dell'aspartame come "possibile cancerogeno": cosa significa?
La categoria 2b serve solo a fare notizia sui vari media... Se la chiamassero "nessuna prova" sarebbe più chiaro...Infatti gli studi citati sono puramente statistici, o si riferiscono ad impurità che possono essere contenute nei dolcificanti e non ai dolcificanti stessi....
