And a pickup of gains from sending just the delta of changed data for one of their passive update beacons.

And ran a sweetheart campaign for our Russian enemies in the Kremlin...? Come on NYTimes, lead with the treachery.

A pre-registered checksum will ensure that the downloaded file is what it says it is before running. So yes, it is safe. Unless you've found a collision in the checksum algorithm apple is using, although the chances are better that you'll squeeze water out of dry desert sand.

(Edit: To those thinking they'll rely on just code signing for this, you're likely way off base.)

I'm human, and I'm speaking on the issues of self discovery, a progress path we can all share as people learning who they are, so maybe you shouldn't assume I'm stepping where I have no ground.

As for being told something made me gay, I have been. I've been told it was sexual assault (that did not occur) when I was young. I've been told it was the media and my friends. I've had those experiences, and yes, I know that we're born that way now but I did not always have the space to make that discovery. I lived a life where I thought there had to be a reason because I thought it was a negative quality in myself. I hated it because I grew up around others who hated it. Insults behind closed doors, threats of violence and hate, and I agree with you that if they believed it was the reason they discovered their identity, they have more to learn. That does not mean they have learned it.

That's such reddit logic. You assume everyone has a perfect understanding of themselves, but people have a lot of different things internally that drive them and they're not always aware of it. When I was young I was interested in other men, and frankly, quite disgusted by it. It's the habitat I was raised in and if you'd asked me back then, I'd have told you it was because I was a sinner. The real reason as I came to discover was indeed that I'm just gay. It took a lot of steps and discovery to get there. I'm not saying this is real, I'm just pointing out that just because your logic is correct does not mean that this person if they are real has made enough discoveries about themselves to be strictly logical.

Yeah. Just how it goes unfortunately. Consumer buy-in is vastly underrepresented in the technology world. Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc have all leveraged customer and community laziness to push the boundaries without much blowback. If Elon's tenure over twitter/xitter shows anything, it's that.

There's a lot of businesses, organizations, companies, Devlopers, and etc that use it as home base. Want to follow what x, y, and z indie dev is up to working on the sequel to your favorite game? Guess what, they didn't want to roll a website and social media activitly works against cross posting compatibility so they're just on Twitter. Want to follow an account that only sends something out when a internet service goes offline, and be notified about it? Better hope they thought out a open alternative because almost exclusively the companies I've worked with update these matters on their Twitter. I've even had their Twitter inform me of issues before their own status.company.com pages (frankly egregious but alas). The cesspool definitely exists, but as a tool/town hall Twitter had won. It's a mere shadow of it's former self in this regard nowadays since king elongate the fucked took over, but the after affects as well as the hole in the market remain.

An uphill battle, but at least someone is fighting the good fight.

If you have an old desktop to repurpose, jellyfin is best ran on one of those with an Intel a380 gpu as long as the motherboard supports resizable bar. Cpu-wise jellyfin doesn't really do anything intensive, and intel's gpus all come with the same 2x video pipelines so upgrading to a 770 wouldn't add any performance. If you're buying new, my recommendation would be to get one of those intel white label laptops xpg made for a while. They can be had around $300-500 and come with a intel arc gpu you can use for encoding, resizable bar, decent ram, and a decent cpu. Great little jellyfin boxes.

I'm just picturing that meme of the guy sweating over two buttons. This time it's rich people looking at option 1: Pay significantly less than my fair share but still a lot of money to the "poors", Or option 2: back an insane narcissistic kleptocrat and hope the country doesn't fall apart.

I see what you mean and understand you. It's very idealistic and I appreciate the thought of it, but it just won't apply to a modern world full of varied people in the way you wish. The reality of it is that most people simply are not interested in participating and it's not in the best interests of any project to expect to change that. Contributions from someone who shares no passion or interest will be less qualitative at best. That's not even to mention that you're likely missing the forest for the trees, as most open source software is built upon hundreds of other projects. You cannot reasonably expect participation on that scale. You can encourage, desire, or structure an income stream to support it; but you cannot expect it as it's just not rational.
