A suggestion: disable it by default, and show a prompt and warning to Meet users asking if they want to enable this Meet extension, while warning them this would allow more tracking from Google.

Neither. I use a chromium package from my linux distribution.
It has many patches on top of the upstream chromium. That probably explain why that unwanted feature isn’t there.
This issue appear on Google Chrome for Windows on my other machine. Just uninstalled it, never used it anyway.
Cannot reproduce on chromium. Has anyone reproduced it?
Texas isn’t used to regulating businesses, to say the least.
That sounds a bit contradictory but there’s an important details. Part of the accusation seems to be about picking winners, ie giving subsidies to specific companies rather than the sector as a whole.
The anti-subsidy investigation has been intended to confirm the Commission’s allegations that manufacturers of battery electric vehicles (BEV) in China benefit from countervailable – i.e. specific and advantageous to the receiving companies – subsidies
If that’s true then a tweak to subsidies might technically solve the issue without changing the EU-China competition balance.
IMHO the EU should focus on carbon border tax, and on doing it quickly and efficiently. The idea is taxing import from countries that don’t tax pollution, or at least less than the EU does, to make competing companies subject to similar emissions tax/regulation.
The incident, he added, amounted to “piracy”.
That exact word came to mind when reading about the incident.
And there is international law on piracy:
there is universal jurisdiction over piracy on the high seas. Pirates are denied protection of the flag state and all states have the right to seize a pirate ship on the high seas and to prosecute in national courts.[
They were years ahead of the curve with AI hardware, and they’re well placed to benefit from the AI craze.
Regardless of whether a company’s AI product is useful, or profitable, they need lot of hardware to make it run.
Frontex and coast guards in general need oversight. Things can happen out of sight, at sea, there’s a great risk for this kind of behaviour.
Yes, AppImage can run on more distro.
Still AppImage has disadvantages over DEB: No auto-update, No/less system integration, Bigger install packages.
They can’t possibly provide a package for every distro.
Signal’s model, ie keep tight control over development and distribution of the client, and the absence of federation, it well suited for Apple/Google’s stores, but not at all for open-source and Linux’ ecosystem.
Some projects of Signal-compatible clients and forks received a message from a Signal representrive requesting they stop distributing unofficial clients that connect to their servers.
That probably has on shilling effect on Linux distribution that may be considering building and distributing Signal in their repository.
Don’t waste time trying to reason them. If you’re not able and willing and sue them to enforce the GPL license, the company won’t care.
You should directly informe one of the organisations mentioned previously, they may have a lawyer and experience fighting this kind of fight.
Best you can do youself is collect evidence that they’re distributing modified GPL software, and write a precise description of the issue, to help these organisations kickstart their investigation into the GPL violation.
Not having the right to work doesn’t necessarily mean asylum seeker won’t work. I suspect it make them more likely to accept undeclared odd jobs. In which case they wouldn’t work less, but would pay no taxes, and have worse working conditions.
This is a common issue in software, not limited to scripting. Software are getting more and more layers of wrappers/adapter code, like a Russian doll. It contributes to dependency hell, as each layer brings new dependencies.
Developers often find it easier to wrap existing apps and software, and add another layer on top, rather than improving or replacing what exists.
Not surprising. If there’s a way for a non-admin user to use this, it means there’s probably a way for a non-admin process to access the data.
Even if if were more secure, there’s probably plenty of ways for attackers to escalate privileges to admin.
The bigger issue is Microsoft providing an official tool for snooping on user activity. Malware won’t have to install their own, and recall taking screenshots periodically won’t be considered anomalous behaviour since it’s an official Microsoft service.
Apparently not yet, astronomers are still waiting for the signal to repeat to appropriately study it.
METI president Douglas Vakoch told Die Welt that any putative SETI signal detections must be replicated for confirmation, and the lack of such replication for the Wow! signal means it has little credibility.[3
For now there are just guesses. If such burst isn’t a fluke and repeats, astronomers will get a chance to better study it and provide a confident explanation.
Every new signal defy explanation for a little while, until it’s explained.
A simple fix to make it more transparent : replace the blue check by a 🪙 or 💵. Now, the blue check just represent paid users.
