  • Yup although the creator claims to not want to post clickbait, one of the main issues of clickbait is a title that tells you in no way what the video is about, but does sound controversial enough so you want to know the content. And this video clearly manages to hit those goals. Just like the goal to not really talk about the topic for the first 2 minutes. It really just came down to “take things slow, don’t move on to the next thing before your understand the thing you are learning now”.


  • I guess it makes sense that it would be hard for the Chinese car companies to use the old factories that are not made for electric cars. It does sound good that they are considering manufacturing the cars here in Europe though. After having seen the self driving capabilities of Tesla, I do think it is a good thing that the European companies face some competition. Although I would eventually prefer to own such a system from an European company.


  • Het lijkt me goed om hier steun voor te vragen, ik vraag me alleen af hoeveel zin het nog heeft nadat de regering de zorgen van de tweede kamer op dit punt volledig lijkt te negeren. Het is zo raar dat we in deze tijd besluiten om zo’n overname goed te keuren. Je weet gewoon dat dit gebruikt kan worden in de toekomst om Nederland verder onder druk te zetten.




  • Yup YouTube makes it very easy to receive money from adds and people that have YouTube premium. Having a YouTube premium subscription means that you are at least supporting the creator of every video that you watch a little bit (from what I can find 55% of what you pay is going to the creators). Yes YouTube takes quite a large cut, but video hosting in high quality costs a lot of money.

    I think it will be very hard to do this on a decentralised platform. People don’t trust just anyone with their money, so it could lead to people abandoning smaller servers and you can be sure that bad actors would pop up and try to abuse the system. And even if you do this the right way, you would have to build this system entirely before you can convince creators to move to this platform.

    It will also be really hard to offer the same quality and reliability that YouTube offers, without taking a larger cut than the 45% that YouTube takes. Hosting a large video platform is expensive, and many of the Fediverse users are anti-adds and will run an add-blocker and maybe even sponsor-blocker.



  • Although this feature sounds helpful, it really looks like they went too far with this. They should probably look for a way to sell these Copilot+ pc’s in another way if they can’t get this secure enough and probably keep it disabled for companies…

    I’m surprised they didn’t make sure that the part that should help you hide sensitive information worked well before letting the first testers get their hands on the feature. All this bad news about the future doesn’t help convince people to turn it on.






  • If you would just stick to playing games on the Quest 2/3 directly that should be fine. The Quest 2 can run basic games, so it does limit you a bit. For example VR Chat has some worlds with too many assets that are not playable on the Quest 2 directly. From what I remember you would be limited to Meta’s store though.

    Unfortunately VR seems to be a niche thing so I doubt this will get a lot of priority on Linux.









  • De NOS vroeg Omtzigt al of er nu een lijmpoging mogelijk was. Maar die had daar zin in. Een andere optie die hen redelijk leek is Mona Keizer terug, mar die is toen ontslagen vanwege haar Corona standpunt dat tegen het kabinet in ging. Het wordt heel lastig om daar nog een goed team neer te zetten dat een beetje uitstraling heeft en herkend wordt door de kiezer. Anders zullen ze het echt alleen van de mensen moeten hebben die gewoon op het CDA stemmen omdat ze dat altijd al deden.
