The yahoo of our time.

Oh yeah, I don’t play game on it, we only watches YouTube and movies.

So GSConnect actually is a way better experience than any controller in my use case :)

I have a home theater PC and I was really interested in making it have a “TV interface”, but it turns out just the standard dash to dock (on the left), gsconnect, with big scaling and big icons works just fine, if not better :)

I still remember the good old days when google has the best code quality among big techs. That being said, seeing how shitty everyone’s code has become, google might still be the best :)

But on the third hand,

I know an AI comment when I see one /jk

I think he has repo pre ChatGPT with legitimate usecases, while that would not be a conclusive proof, I cannot imagine some chatbot would bother with this.

This dude need to chill, he also pushed the systemd change, and in his blog he seems to believe android “advance flow” for sideloading protects users.

The one they are targeting is California’s AB-1043, which still have three quarters of a year before it comes into effect…

I think this dude might get too excited for his new subscription of claude code or whatever, and decided to spam every project with these request. Some of these are reasonable, some are compliance in advance.

Also this dude writes two freaking blog every week with LLM. If I were him, I would try to find some joy in my personal life…

Seems like this one still exists https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/1922

The good side: I feel it might enables me to better setup parental control in the future. If software read from the age field, then the blocking can be more robust than a simple DNS sink hole by pihole, which is really easy to get around, with mobile data or directly visiting IP address.

I do find this field is fundamentally different from verification using government issued ID (yet). I will definitely fight the next one, but I am kind of okay with this one.

Cons: it is additional fingerprint parameter, I hope the xdg-desktop protocol can be implemented to give out as little information as possible for the age field, instead of just handing the birthday field to every app that ask for it. And I hope all adult who don’t have any age-based content filtering needs will opt to leave the field empty.

I think the law in Brazil have already come into effect at the time of the merge. So it is not really compliance in advance.

It is optional field and can be unset and set to arbitrary value by the administrator. If you can build your own OS, isn’t it easier to just unset this value?
