If you download apps from fdroid, at the very least you can be sure that the binary is 100% generated from the provided source code, the devs can't pull a switcheroo like submitting an altered version of app (e.g. inserting malware) that doesn't match the published source code.

I'm more concerned with Mozilla spending its meager resources to chase some fads instead of focusing on improving firefox.

Google does that a lot with their own web properties. I remember Google Meet didn't support background replacement on Firefox, but switching Firefox's user agent to Chrome suddenly fixed it.

It seems Mozilla is not immune to the AI hype. I just hope their AI endeavour won't kill them when the AI hype finally ends.

It used to be a lot slower, which is why when Chrome showed up with its shiny new V8 engine (and other features) people switched from Firefox en masse. Now the performance difference is no longer noticeable.

Iirc they already validate licence online long before going subscription only.

Did it covered by warranty though? I'm probably ok with the foldable screen cracking every once in a while as long as the warranty fully covers it every time it happens.

The software update will remove dependency on the driver seat occupancy switch from the software and only rely on driver seat belt buckle and ignition status to activate the seat belt reminder signals.

Now I'm interested how it worked before and under what circumstances it failed. When the driver is too skinny? Squatting to hover their ass over the seat?

I have to unsubscribe from some of kbin's magazines because bots constantly posting spam there in past few months. It's bad. I didn't know the dev runs double duty as mod as well.

An important context that's missing from the blog post is Keivan Beigi is one of the core contributor of Sonarr, a popular app in the *arr scene. Microsoft probably realized it late after offering him a job, got cold feet and ghost him.

I only just realized my previous comment formatted like total ass

No problem since there is a "view source" button on lemmy which show the comment in its original formatting.

This laptop seems to use ALC236, which seems to have a lot of problem on linux. If you search on the web, people seems to have different issues with different fixes on various laptop with ALC236. I'm not quite sure what's the issue in your case, but searching for "ALC236" linux mic might yield some relevant results, such as this one. Most solutions are probably not applicable unless you install linux permanently on your disk first though.
