AOSP and lower level firmware modifications

But it's android, so linux, so GPL2, so they have to share these modifications (if they really exist). It's bootleg until soneone sues them.

Wikipedia has a long list about different language versions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dora_the_Explorer#Foreign_adaptations

Tldr: in non-english versions, usually the second language is English. Exceptions: Serbian and Irish teach Spanish, Kannada version teaches Hindi.

The important part that they are a bunch of new commands. We had old commands for this things, but they were written a long-long time ago, and computers evolved a lot since that, we can't fix the old commands anymore.

Unlike well-moderated torrent sites, Bitmagnet adds almost any torrent it finds to its database. This includes mislabeled files, malware-ridden releases, and potentially illegal content. The software tries to limit abuse by filtering metadata for CSAM content, however.

There are plans to add more curation by adding support for manual postings and federation. That would allow people with similar interests to connect, acting more like a trusted community. However, this is still work in progress.

I think it's not ready for mainstream use yet, but seems absolutely promising. This will be the most important, how they will solve this without a central authority. Here in the Fediverse admins are basically this authority, I can't imagine how it could work in a true P2P fashion.

I can already read the title of the page and see the favicon, so it actually doesn't show new information. If I accidentally move my mouse there it covers a big part of the page i'm looking at

Original article not via pocket: https://qz.com/646467/how-one-programmer-broke-the-internet-by-deleting-a-tiny-piece-of-code

It's the left-pad npm incident, it was a big news back than, it has its own section on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Npm#Dependency_chain_issues

Google had to happen, manually updating a registry of all site was unsustainable with the growth of the internet.

And the concept of SEO is actually older than the internet, "AAA Plumbing" from yellow pages was also optimized for the algorithm of the the telephone registry, which was simply alphabetical order. Just different algorithm and different scale.

Docx is not a proprietary format, it's a standard, it's called Office Open XML: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML

And M$ published its specifications, so Libreoffice devs could support it. But here comes the funny part: M$ (deliberately?) doesn't follow the specification it published. So the formatting problems of LibreOffice come from M$, because they don't follow their specs, but M$ can just do whatever they want because of its market share.

I read this story a long time ago, and I'm paraphrasing, but on this wiki page you can read a lot of controversies related to this format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardization_of_Office_Open_XML

This video is very misleading.

  • The reconstructions only affected some of the stones, which were already damaged or fallen, not all of them
  • We have several photos from the 19th century, so you can compare the current state with the one before, the first reconstruction was in 1901

It's not some secret, you can read this on wikipedia, with more facts, e.g exact list of moved stones, not just 4 photos in a loop
