Will you need your own account for the proprietary ones? Mozilla paying for these feels like it couldn't be sustainable long term, which is worrying.

Windows only PWA's 😮‍💨

Finding new ways webshits fuck up the most basic development principles boggles my mind. It's like they intentionally stay ignorant.

I don't understand why you'd be fixing unit tests he broke during his pr. It seems like he might be bullying you? Maybe discuss with your manager.

Now it'll go to some private equity vampire who will really ruin it

Tbf, does anyone actually "like" C++?

I don't know if I'd really call this an issue, workers at companies generally start unions because they're being pushed into untenable hours and subsistence living without an escape. When you can jump from a sinking ship and add 15-20% to your salary you're just in a very different situation. There are risks to getting serious about organizing a union, especially in tech where the vast majority shops aren't union. You could end up tied to whatever company you're at currently for the rest of your career, since I'd imagine many non union shops would blacklist you from hiring if they found out you attempted to organize at a previous job. It's also difficult to get enough people on board for unionization when almost everyone in your department likely has the option to leave for a similar pay bump. The benefits of unionization are much less tangible for tech workers, who generally lead pretty comfortable lives, than professions that are tipically unionized like tradespeople or factory workers.

Brain dead take. Sums up as "Wah! Information you publicize is public!" This guy completely misses the fact the the privacy nightmare of corporate social media is the apps that scrape every piece of traceable information off your phone to sell, and the cookies and browser tracking so they can follow you all over the web. AFAIK fediverse sites aren't doing this.

I got a set off ebay, Jesus christ they're loud. I ended up returning them cause I could hear the grinding through my whole house

Also since this works on cards that are already old, it lets you eek out a few more years out of a card you already own rather than being a shitty excuse to overcharge for a weak card.

It kinda crazy you can't do this, wasn't Microsoft forced to let you change default browsers in an antitrust suit?

Monetization plan might be to sell prints of platformed artists work, with out any need for pesky royalties.

Back in the Gnome 2 days this wasn't as much the case. Plus KDE was kind of a mess back then so the main choices were Gnome or XFCE which had fewer features. When Gnome 3 came around the devs switched hard to a much more opinionated approach, leading to Gnome 2 forks like Cinnamon since KDE was still very underpolished. It's a bit regrettable that all that effort was poured into Gnome forks instead of improving KDE especially considering how great it is now.

A dedicated server is needed because something needs to keep a catalog of the smart devices available on your network and ideally be accessible to many people in one household. You could make a system that went phone -> device but you would need to set up each device on each phone you wanted to use, which isn't a great user experience. You could also run into issues where devices would need to handle multiple conflicting commands from different users coming in at once. Since smart devices are usually trying to use as little power as possible, that extra complexity would hurt you in that department. The third reason is that having a separate server enables automated workflows that would depend on an always online server that orchestrates multiple devices. For example, let's say you have some automatic insulating blinds, a smart thermostat. You want to raise and lower the blinds to maximize your energy efficiency. Since you have the dedicated server, that server can check the temperature set point of your thermostat, current weather, and sunrise\sunset times. If it's sunny out, and your set point is higher than the outdoor temperature, the server can raise the blinds to let warm sunlight in, and vice versa. If only your phone could control the devices a workflow like this couldn't work when you were out of the house.

It'll definitely need some kind of quality enforcement to make hosting work. It'd be really useful if the app would automatically transcode to the server's preferred quality when uploading, using the uploaders device. If the server has to transcode all the video the compute costs could get astronomical.

CCS is already required in Europe, problem is there aren't nearly as many CCS chargers in the US especially compared to Tesla's network

A lot of sites will show an article stub in the feed, then make you go to the full site to read the whole thing.

Unfortunately it's not something the average person's going to undertake.

My God, 5$ for unlimited searches would have been expensive, but you only get 300! This thing would have to literally read my mind, and even then I don't think it would be worth it

Because until you spend many hours getting used to it, it's annoying as hell. I'm a longtime bash user, but if I have to do anything in PowerShell, it sucks. Bash is even less friendly to novice/casual users due to tools like awk and sed being totally obtuse. When you're unfamiliar with the workflow, not being to see everything you're able to do at a glance is pretty frustrating.

It's way easier to communicate a terminal based solution over the internet. Instead of making a guide with images, possibly needing annotation, you can just say "run x, y, z in order" and the user can just copy and paste it (even though it's a bad habit to run random commands off the internet)

This would be so nice in a mainstream language, I wonder if it would be possible with rust's macro system?

Mccarthy doesn't want to bring anything the hard right won't vote for because he's worried about losing the speakership.

Idk, without a good collaborative mode there's really not much you can do to differentiate yourself from existing options. Without some feature like that it's hard to think of a reason to build yet another text editor.

As time goes on I've been using the down vote more freely. Generally for anything I find low quality. I used to be more restrained with it but now I see it more as another tool that I have to shape the kind of content that gets promoted in the communities I interact with. It's the only option beyond withholding an upvote to keep low effort posts, trolling, and bigotry out of your communities other than reporting, which shouldn't do anything unless a post breaks the rules.

Pretty sure it is, I ended up trying the free trial because of all the yapping. Don't bother. 99% of the results are the same as ddg.

If you want to share a set of feeds between devices, and sync read/unread, organization, etc.

Unfortunately I think this might be unironically true for them

I looked for it in nixpkgs yesterday and was confused as to why it wasn't there 😮‍💨

The only thing chatgpt does well is pump out corporate fluff, I'd say we're already there.

Just rented a KIA Niro and wouldn't have been able to tell it was an EV from the interior. HSS Bluetooth but I usually opt for Android auto.

Unfortunately that hasn't been my experience, but I'm only using it to find answers for things a couple ddg queries won't solve because traditional search engines are so much faster

I think it has something to do with fear of an upcoming recession, platforms need to prove to their shareholders that they can still maintain profitability even in the face of economic downturn. Keep in mind the US hasn't experienced a real recession since the tech boom, which may explain why all this money grubbing is so severe and sudden.

This is really only true if you don't count dlss which mops the floor with fsr in terms of visual quality

Yeah I'd really have a hard time dating someone who is likely still living with their parents if I'd been on my own a year or two. I wouldn't consider making the relationship serious until I knew they could stand on their own feet.

I don't know if you've tried this, but I bought some rope caulk for 7 bucks and used it to seal around my windows. It makes a world of difference if the windows aren't sealing great. You can take it off in the summer when you want to open them up.

Some perceptural hash of the actual ads could work to. You could run into legal trouble sending the ads themselves or the hosts speaking.

You didn't even mention the worst part, you can't change the default terminal emulator.

That would then mean we would have to support the entire food supply on hunting rather than farming for this to be true, so basically 90% of the population would have to die
