I was confused for a second because you used "Swift" instead of "SWIFT". The name is captialised.

It means a lot to anyone in holding Bitcoin. I'm guessing it means nothing to you because you don't have any.

Damn! I heard a similar story where some teen was able to crack someone's USB bitcoin vault after the guy lost the password. From there, I think the USB vault was an older version with an known exploit so he used that. I don't know whether you'll be able to crack yours but I wish you the best.

How many times does this make Microsoft receiving legal action for unfairly promoting its browser? It happened back in the Netscape days. And then there was one (10-15 years ago?) that made a pop up of 5 browsers appear (order randomised) so the users had full knowledge that they could be using different web browsers.

I heard about her first when Filmento (Movie Critique YouTuber) was mentioning how every company that made a Terminator movie went bankrupt, with the exception of one that was saved by a bailout by the owner's billionaire father.

This wasn't an accident. In the 2010s Boeing went to war with International Association of Machinists, showing a complete lack of appreciation for the skilled people that make its business possible. Since the McDonnell Douglas merger in 1997, Boeing has been taken over by bean counters who do not have the skills or appreciation for how their own business works. This is part of the reason for the Max failures. Boeing isn't a fast food outlet where you can quickly train up a bunch of retail workers, it's a business that relies on many skilled people with years of experience. If you piss them off, they'll go away, and you won't be able to quickly replace them.

Maybe all the strikes?

They wouldn't have gotten headline if they'd resigned. The whole point of a protests is that you're meant to be disruptive. Disruptive to the point you get attention and goad people into taking actions that gets the issue even more attention. The protestors have clearly succeeded in both aims.

Sucks when people get laid off but this was always a logical direction to go in. Previous CEO wanted to get Unity into Visual Effects like Unreal was being used to. The problem was, he did this buy going on an acquisition spree and not having a thought out strategy for how Unity would become a must have for VFX when graphics were never its strong point. Through all this, the actual game engine was getting worse and worse. Current CEO clearly understands all this and is most likely (hopefully) refocusing the development efforts on the engine itself, firing people from needless acquisitions and giving up on the VFX dream for now.

My deepest condolences.

Alright, here's a controversial point: Colleges aren't as important as they once were. Good colleges have two main goals: Education, and networking. You could make a strong argument that the internet, to some extent, fulfills both goals, and while people will need to be a bit more self directed, ultimately you don't necessarily need a bunch of buildings that people need to get to in order to educate and network people anymore.

Have you checked the nightly? Because H263 support was merged only 23 days ago: https://github.com/ruffle-rs/r...

People have been saying this for literal years. Here's one from 2013: https://www.theguardian.com/te...

And my printer has revoked the ability to print since I've stopped subscribing to their ink service even thought it still has ink left in it. Oh wait, this is exactly what HP is already doing.

So much talk of 2021 is about uncertainty and worry, I was just so thankful to see people refer to 2021 with such a familiar topic! Thank you Slashdot for giving me a bit of comfort, and knowing in these uncertain times with so many major issues, we can still chat about whether Linux will *finally* become a widespread desktop environment.
