[false claims that] journalists gave the recent PS5 game Stellar Blade (pictured below) bad reviews because its female characters are too hot

That seems an inadequate way of summing up the Stellar Blade controversy which on the whole was considerably more ridiculous than that.

If it's more than none at all that's pretty good. But adhering to open standards is also a factor in how we should judge these providers which goes beyond that.

I don't really understand GPU drivers so might be getting the wrong idea here, but it seems as if maybe what they've been exploring is overly complicated ways to avoid having fully open source drivers in the straightforward way that some of their customers are beginning to demand.

Things could at least become more convenient for nvidia users even if not much closer to the ideals of free software.

technically it doesn't break e2ee

** for some unorthodox definition of e2ee

If the "endpoints" are defined as being somewhere outside the end users' control, because for example the client software they have is designed to betray their secrets, then the system is no longer end-to-end encrypted in the way that both cryptographers and normal people would usually understand the concept.

Are some people likely to object [to being constantly watched by computers that analyze their behaviour and report any detected anomalies to the cops]?

Typically, no, but there is no accounting for some people.

A fitting epitaph for the human race?

smooth end-to-end encryption works only tuta-to-tuta or proton-to-proton

The difference is that proton tries to be somewhat interoperable with other services. It uses standard PGP encryption, you can import public keys to it from elsewhere, and you can download your private key from them if you need it.

* Of course I meant that you can easily export the private key from their web client, which is not really a download as such.

The kernel art department really failed us here. Instead of a blue screen of death we could've had, I don't know, literally any other colour. I'd have gone with the Puce Screen of Panic.

Having only a clickbait title to go on, rather than watch the video I'll just guess:

  1. But I NEED Adobe Microsoft Fortnight Premiere Plus Pro Version 16 to LIVE

  2. Other religious reasons.

  3. Don't have a computer.

If you were using linux in the 1980s you were way ahead of the curve.

Um... Debian? I may be biased, but sometimes I think half the "which distro" questions I see are specifically designed to get me to say Debian. It's unclear why you think that more frequent updates would be an advantage.

WTF Google, did you really feel that gemini was such a threat that you had to usurp its name?
