Windows 11 is getting out of hand with its push for advertisments, frankly - remember the recent full-screen pop-up to persuade users to install Edge or other Microsoft services? Then another advertisment was placed in the Start menu, and now Microsoft has finally worn my temper thin - with a new Game Pass ad coming to the...
Should I point out the irony of this complaint being posted on a site with ads every other sentence and doesn't even show what the windows ads looks like?
It's a valid complaint and all I just laughed as I scrolled past all the blank "ad here" blocks to read the article.
It was actually 3gb because operating systems have to reserve parts of the memory address space for other things. It's more difficult for all 32bit operating systems to address above 4gb just most implemented additional complexity much earlier because Linux runs on large servers and stuff. Windows actually had a way to switch over to support it in some versions too. Probably the NT kernels that where also running on servers.
A quick skim of the Wikipedia seems like a good starting point for understanding the old problem.
Appimage doesn't start because it relies on a system package that does exist anymore, dialogs with grey text on grey backgrounds in dark mode, stl repair not included...
Flatpak is in the works but honestly and hope that helps bit I get better prints out of prusaslicer for some reason so not holding my breath or anything.
The image just isn't being built correctly which is more a problem with appimages but the fact it's still broken... Linux is clearly a neglected platform for them.
All the problems I listed have bug reports just nothings happening to fix them.
Libwebkit isn't actually chromium, it uses blink which is a fork of part of webkit. Understandable confusion though because webkit was part of kde, forked by safari, and then used by through chrome variants for a long time.
The rest of this comment is going to necessarily be nerdy Linux internals. sorry.
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure chromium includes it inside it's binary and does provide or use any webkit libraries.
Orca uses it internally for it's browser so it won't start unless it has access to the library. When you build a Linux app it includes the name of the library which includes the ABI (basically the version). Newer Linux release include a different version.
Appimage is one of the ways you get around this distro problem by including the versions of libraries. That's why they're so big. There are problems with that like how big the apps are stale bundled libraries with security issues but I digress.
Orca hasn't bundled webkit in the appimage and because of another problem/feature of appimage it falls back on the os library. Since new distros have dropped the older obsolete library version orca can't start.
That's a lot but I hope it explains the problem better.
I would like to help but my personal computer doesn't currently have enough memory to compile orca so back to just watching warning people it's a coming problem for them too.

Not specific to AI but someone flat out told me they didn't even run the code to see it work. They didn't understand why I would or expect that before accepting code. This was someone submitting code to a widely deployed open source project.
So, I would expect the answer is yes or very soon to be yes.

IANAL but I thought removing non-PII mostly boiled down to risk since gdpr has big teeth. With a lot of money on the table and a licence attached to post they may feel it's worth pursuing. They've probably been setting up protections for this for a while.
It sounds like a joke but as another senior dev, one of the big lessons I've learned is getting really good at capturing all the requests that come in and who approved them.
It's a bit of cya, but mostly so I can say "I can change that but it's not a bug. It's what was requested for this to do last year. Here's the discussion" It's surprising how often that results in "Oh yeah, that was for x. Let's not touch it." Or "oh that's not a quick fix, let me come back with more information" etc
