Did they change the headline, or did you come up with the more click-baity one just for us?

Well, she's not wrong that we need more influential people fighting back against this latest push in the global coordinated effort to put an end to communications privacy. It's really quite alarming how little attention it seems to get most of the time. Civil society seemed much more robust when it fought off similar attacks in the 1990s. I do hope that the "VC community" isn't our only hope.

But of course Signal can’t interoperate with another messaging platform, without them raising their privacy bar significantly

Signal is supposed to be free software. You could probably manage to interoperate at least with other operators of actual Signal-Server instances, if you wanted to.

It seems highly likely that you have mischaracterized the meaning of browser.shopping.experience2023.ads.userEnabled but it doesn't matter. The mere existence of browser.shopping.experience2023.ads.userEnabled is damning enough on its own.

To help make skittish people feel at ease with the concept, why not give it a friendly on-screen avatar? Perhaps something like a cute little animated paperclip.

This green tea I'm sipping made my mind sufficiently relaxed and agile to see that punchline coming from a mile away.

Whittaker says that, for better or worse, a phone number remains a necessary requisite

Worse. It is for the worse. We sure did wait a long time for this half measure, Signal.

Every once in a while I wonder what things are like back in the land of Microsoft. That this message doesn't give the user even the slightest hint about what it wants to do more specifically than "improve your experience" tells me all I need to know.

... and scale back its investment in its mozilla.social Mastodon instance.

In what way did they invest anything significant in the mastodon instance? I had been sort of waiting for them to do something interesting with it after all the fanfare with which it belatedly arrived. As far as I could tell last time I looked it was just a bog-standard and rather small instance that hadn't visibly changed since some engineer took a day or two to set it up last year. What'd I miss?

Don't agree with verdicts of the International Criminal Court? Start your own International Kangaroo Court instead! Everyone will have to take it seriously if you just remind them often enough that you've got nuclear weapons. You'll be the envy of all the war criminals.

They reported three posts! The scale of damage that must've been done to the vital ebb and flow of our corporate social media discourse is practically inconceivable, you might think.

But I've done even worse: I have reported more than five posts from spammers to fediverse admins who subsequently removed them. Tremble before the might of my awesome power of censorship, fedizens!

That is contradicted by the headline. This easy confusion between CUDA (the API) and CUDA (the proprietary software package that is one implementation of it) illustrates the problem with CUDA.

ZLUDA seems to be an effort to fix that problem, but I don't know what it's chances of success might be.

For reasons unknown to me, AMD decided this year to discontinue funding the effort

Presumably they did not want to see Cuda becoming the final de-facto standard that everyone uses. It nearly did at one point a couple of years ago, despite the lack of openness and lack of AMD hardware support.
