This doesn’t mean giving the FBI or other agencies a direct line into content, it means Meta, Apple and Google should have the means, the keys to provide content when warranted to do so by a court. Right now they cannot, Police chiefs and other agencies describe this situation as “going dark” and they want it to change.


If anyone has the ability to do that then it's not encrypted.

It also means that any "security" from China they're touting is bypassed by simpling gaining access to these backdoors and thus access to everything with no effort.

They just want to legalize what they already have so they can use it publicly.

To my European mind, 50K is a very high salary

Salary only has meaning when contextualized against the cost of living. As a European, you don't worry about going bankrupt and ending up on the street if you get sick, you likely enjoy functional public transit, and so on.

Gaymers - NTSYNC Linux Patches lands To Help Boost Steam Play Gaming Performance

The title is incorrect. The patches have been rebased against the 6.13 tree but have not yet been accepted or merged.

Every since May, I looked this up monthly to see if there is progress, only to have been met with 0 new info. Anxiously waiting!

678% performance gain is just crazy. I'd be interested in a comparison with native windows performance with these titles.

It was being compared to another implementation. Hers is actually better and can be fully implemented in Wine. It'll be better but no one really knows the full concrete extend of improvement until it lands

Fake news. It's merely a re-send of the patches; nothing landed yet.

The Phoronix article and their title makes that clear; you editorialised it to state differently. (Also, that's...cringe.)

Israel Attacks North Gaza Hospital for Fifth Time


In north Gaza, Israel’s campaign of systematic slaughter, destruction and starvation is now in its ninth week.

Meanwhile, at Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, north Gaza, the United Nations reported that a team of six physicians from the Medical Emergency Rescue Committee in Indonesia was able to reach the hospital as part of a medical mission, delivering a fuel tank and medical supplies.

The UN stated that the hospital, which now hosts 63 patients including nine in the intensive care unit, has been functioning with extremely limited resources. It has been relentlessly attacked over the last two months.

Dr. Ahmed al-Kahlout, the director of the intensive care unit at Kamal Adwan, was killed in an Israeli attack on Friday as he reportedly entered the gate of the hospital.

There are still a few movies to be released (movieinsider.com/movies/2024), but it's still probably a good time to have a look at the best movies from 2024 and discuss them.

There will be similar threads on !showsandmovies@lemm.ee, and probably !animation@lemm.ee

Feel free to comment with the movies you liked the most, ideally one comment per movie so that other people can chime in and discuss.

Copying this from another conversation about it:

I saw the Tv glow is horror for queer people. If ur cishet it won't hit the same

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler
It's about failing to recognize yourself as trans an the inherent terror of living in a body that feels like a prison.

So if you can't relate to that the message is probably lost

I'm a cishet and having grown up with quite a restrictive and repressive upbringing, the themes of "well who am I really?" and feeling like your environment and inability to discover who you truly are is slowly suffocating are definitely themes from the movie that resonated with me.
