That's amazing, for software to be able to cause that!

No, you can't use your $6,299.00 Camera as a Webcam. That will be $5 – Roman Zipp
Ah... Proprietary hardware and software. Ugh.

I imagine that's because that would be against the interests of the owners of those companies. Which presumably have some power in the world, being practically internationally successful banks.
Tldr; money.

It's almost as if there's another world power that wouldn't mind weakening the US and spreading chaos there.

St. Paul, MN, was hacked so badly that the National Guard has been deployed
Reply in thread
I mean... For real, I've never heard of Linux systems being hacked this way. I'm sure it's possible, but it certainly seems rarer.
Slipping shit in upstream also certainly doesn't happen "that* often. It takes effort to become recognised enough as a developer to be allowed access to the upstream code, meaning you can't automate those kinds of attacks. (I imagine. Correct me if I'm wrong.)

Enough of the billionaires and their big tech. ‘Frugal tech’ will build us all a better world
Too bad this doesn't really mention the Fediverse or open-source software. Seems a next logical step

You can add a "cycling style" to OsmAnd, the FOSS mapping app for android
That's great! I've used OsmAnd for cycling for many many years now and it's by far the best option I've tried. Much better than GMaps.
I tried cycling through London with it, and indeed the cycling paths were a bit hard to identify on the map. This should help a lot.

the perfect browser

Oh... That's... Disappointing. Firefox it is, then, for now.
It's weird.. It makes "business" sense, too. If you want people to use your stuff and you can choose to appeal to more people, why wouldn't you? I think we've reached the stage of normalcy now where using "they" and "them" are not in itself something that would necessarily scare away right-wing users (given you want to keep appealing to that attractive market, too.)

D-Link refuses to patch yet another security flaw, suggests users just buy new routers — D-Link told users to replace NAS last week

I mean, be nice if the US didn't turn into a dictatorship in a few months. Don't see any company-unfriendly laws going in effect there any time soon. But perhaps in Europe there's still some chance of this happening.

Who knows if Stardew Valley is finished, but the dev behind it is "committed to not working" on it until Haunted Chocolatier is done
Meanwhile, Sunberry Village just came out a couple of months ago with more villagers added every week. The Modding community is alive and well.

Alternative take: he's wondering why anyone would be obsessed with such mediocre movies, mistakingly having started with the first episodes instead of the original trilogy.

Any experience with using iron on patches for holes in jeans front pockets?
The advantage of iron-on patches is basically that you don't need glue to keep them affixed while you sew. But you do need to sew.
Another advantage, by the way, is that you don't need to zig-zag stitch the edges of the patch to stop them from fraying when you cut out the shape you want. Saves some effort.
