Not to mention G-sync, the technique where you hit the G-spot over and over in a perfect rhythm.

Unrivaled parallelism from Nvidia as always.

“if you laugh have a stroke, you lose (part 6; IMPOSSIBLE)”

Well obviously it wasn’t non-violent, or it’d be an NVDA.

To be fair, my two assumed possibilities were both wrong.

This was not from 2013. This screenshot was provably from 2021, specifically anywhere from January 17th to March 27th. The FreeBSD Foundation celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2020 (press release from December 21st, 2020, here). The person who said it was from 2013 wrongly assumed that the logo (upper-left of the screenshot) was referencing the 20th anniversary of FreeBSD itself and not the FreeBSD Foundation.

The reason it’s so low is that 1) this is kept track of throughout the year, and 2) it was a matched donation or donations. Thus, Apple matched donations throughout the year, eventually amounting to $1000–4999, but at the point this screenshot was taken (early in the year), they were only between $5–24.

Please read my comment below explaining this. You’ve accidentally edited more misinformation into your comment in trying to be more thorough.

It was likely a matched donation. See my comment below explaining how this screenshot came to be (the screenshot is real and was taken sometime between mid-January to late March 2021) and @RmDebArc_5@piefed.zip’s comment showing the donation policy.

The comment by @Morphit@feddit.uk below is wrong and isn’t even examining the relevant years (although it does correctly explore the spirit of the original post, which is that this is chump change for Apple regardless).

It’s real. See my comment explaining it.

It’s real. See my comment below explaining what happened, namely that it’s from early 2021. I suggest editing your comment, as you only checked the years this wouldn’t possibly apply to (the screenshot was made pre-2024).

The FreeBSD Foundation celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2020. I already checked the 2018–2026 donations and didn’t find the one shown in the OP. (Edit: I actually did. See comment below. It’s from 2021 and is real.)

Edit 3: This is not edited but rather a real screenshot from early 2021.

• Alexander Tharapos only shows up in 2021. David Choi is also in the $5–24 bracket.
• Donations accrue throughout the year. Here’s one snapshot from late March 2021 showing Apple far below where they were at year’s end.
• The FreeBSD Foundation’s 20th anniversary was in 2020, hence the logo.
• However, this was after mid-January, as we have an archive from then when Apple Inc. wasn’t on the donor list yet.
• Apple was in the $1000–$4999 range by year’s end.

This also comports with @RmDebArc_5@piefed.zip’s note about the donation matching program. A small automatic donation like this would make sense.

What’s more likely?

• Apple, Inc. noticed and went out of their way to donate – but an amount so inconsequential that it damages their brand image and probably, due to labor overhead, cost them more to donate than the amount actually donated.
• You can donate under whatever name you want, and someone just made their name “Apple Inc.” as a joke.

Edit: I checked the donors, and while I couldn’t go back farther than 2024 (even by changing the URL param), none of them were $5–24.

Edit 2: I went back to 2018 via the Wayback Machine and still couldn’t find this. I guess it’s possible it happened before this, but given every single year seems to be in the hundreds to thousands range and given a $25 donation by a company like Apple would be pissing money into the void, this seems dubious.

Excruciatingly extensive documentation with flawless grammar, and then:

Donationsss really helps with improving namida and showing appreciation (tho i alr enjoy working on it hehe, donate to keep me alive and support teto)

cool slop

The parties that discovered CVE-2026-97631—Alex Matrosov of Anthropic and Dan Holmes of Google—had arranged for it to stay under wraps until a coordinated disclosure that was scheduled for January. AMI, a maker of motherboards and other hardware, published this pull request last month that detailed the vulnerability and included a code fix. Once the post came to the attention of the discovering parties, TianoCore Project members published a public advisory last week.

Hot take: botched disclosures like this should open a company to criminal liability. We need to start treating SWE with the same level of scrutiny we do other engineering fields and not “oopsie poopsie, I accidentally just disclosed an attack that endangers global infrastructure.”

Edit: Also, just of fucking course it’s a buffer overflow in C code. “No way to prevent this, says only nation where this regularly happens” vibes.

I wish I did. :(

I’ve never heard anything about this. In fact, I’ve never heard of overlays on CoMaps generally. My only guess is that maybe the rumor is related to OsmAnd, which does let you create custom overlays given a URL source.

I only use CoMaps on desktop, which is to say not very often, so I’m a lot less familiar with it. Sorry!

You can help too!!

Check out DeFlock, and by all means, come join us on OpenStreetMap. It looks like about 400–500 cameras have been added in the last few days.

If there’s anything I can personally do to help you (yes, you, reading this) get involved with OSM – even just a pep talk – I’ll do whatever I can. There are a million different ways you can help, regardless of if you’re in Paris reading the WikiHow for heisting the Louvre or stranded in the wilderness using your last five minutes of battery to browse Lemmy.

You of all people talking about other people enjoying their echo chamber is goddamn hilarious given the one you moderate.

As though somone blaming Ukraine for “refusing to negotiate peace” has any room to speak on “inconvenient truths”.

Active functioning search engine website “OFFICIAL LAUNCHES” - Google: August 1998 Yandex: 23 September 1997

What on Earth is this link supposed to show? Did you just expect that nobody would check it?

In August 1998, Sun co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim wrote Larry and Sergey a check for $100,000, and Google Inc. was officially born. With this investment, the newly incorporated team made the upgrade from the dorms to their first office: a garage in suburban Menlo Park, California, owned by Susan Wojcicki (employee #16 and former CEO of YouTube). Clunky desktop computers, a ping pong table, and bright blue carpet set the scene for those early days and late nights.

This once again establishes that Google Inc. came about in August 1998, not that Google Search did. Google Search existed in 1997; it was a registered, functioning website with a web search engine.

Edit: Huh, I see it’s a bit more complicated. Google Search was available at google.stanford.edu during 1997. Which is still a functioning domain that uses Google Search to index the web.

Edit 2: Unrelated to this, the fact the first version of the Google logo was created in GIMP is so quaint. TIL

Double nope.

Google was officially launched in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin to market Google Search, [emphasis mine] which has become the most used web-based search engine.

Google Search had already existed since the domain was registered. (EDIT: See comments below. I don’t know that this is true. It seems google.stanford.edu was up as a functioning web search engine in 1997, but this is getting murky.) You’re talking about Google Inc. the company which was created in 1998. Google Search was launched in 1997.

However, by that comparison, it’s vastly less close, as Yandex LLC was first legally registered 14 September 2000.

TL;DR: You were comparing apples to oranges.

Search website:

• Google: 15 September 1997
• Yandex: 23 September 1997

Legally registered company:

• Google Inc.: 1998
• Yandex LLC: 14 September 2000

Edit: And to clarify, I think the sensible metric here, that works in Yandex’s favor by bringing the two within eight days of each other instead of approximately two years, is to use the date their search engine websites launched and were functioning, not when they filed paperwork that said “We’re legally a company now 🥳”.
