I find it really weird that something as simple as the basic functionality of nextcloud seemingly can't be implemented in a stable and lightweight manner.

Nextcloud always seems one update away from self destruction and it prepares for that by hoarding all the resources it can get. It never feels fast or responsive. I just want a way to share files between my machines.

There are other solutions, I know, but they're all terrible in their own way.

The German feddit (and reddit) space has bursts of memes. A while ago it was stupid puns using sturgeons or eels. Currently it's pizza.

These intense meme storms (Stahlmemegewitter) last for a few days and then blow over.

I had lengthy discussions about that because two companies conventions collided.

We talked literally hours about the benefits of build numbers, branch specific identifiers and so on.

That's exactly not the thing, because nobody broke the contract, they simply interpret it differently in details.

Having a null reference is perfectly valid json, as long as it's not explicitly prohibited. Null just says "nothing in here" and that's exactly what an omission also communicates.

The difference is just whether you treat implicit and explicit non-existence differently. And neither interpretation is wrong per contract.

It can, but especially during serialization Java sometimes adds null references to null values.

That's usually a mistake by the API designer and/or Java dev, but happens pretty often.

No.

Interoperability is only required, if you have a significant market share. Apple does not have this in the EU. iMessage specifically doesn't fall under this regulation, since hardly anyone uses it.

And since Apple plans to publish an SDK for their intelligence anyway, you can't really regulate them for being too closed.

So either that's a purely political retaliation, or their "super privacy friendly" services aren't as privacy friendly as they claim.

That's not how this works, though.

These "jobs" are just a way to acquire talent. A larger company can almost always need a few more "good workers". So if a really good candidate comes along, they'll snatch that person, if the candidate is just okayish, they tell them someone else got the job.

I disagree with the implication and outrage about it.

It seems like ragebait, just like "gen Z doesn't want to work" crap.

What else am I missing?

The fact that 90% of people don't give a shit about ads, privacy or their operating system in general. They want a machine to open a browser, that's it. If Windows comes pre-installed, they'll use Windows.

The only realistic chance we've got is that MS shoots itself in the foot once more by all that Recall crap and businesses drop Windows. But that's a long shot.

Even if ai took over 90% of all coding work, that still wouldn't affect more than maybe two hours a day.

Paying 420€ per month at most for comprehensive healthcare and 49€ per month for regional/urban public transportation nationwide is really a chore.

And additionally, I even have to live with the burden of getting my master's degree almost for free! It's horrible over here! I can barely enjoy my 30 vacation days thinking about the situation!

It won't. Some people will scream bloody murder, most people will ignore it.

SO was in decline anyway. Most answers you'll find are several years old and outdated, because some idiot thought the new ones are duplicates.

So now a few people will leave, the spamming idiots will keep spamming the platform with low effort nonsensical answers and its relevance will dwindle just a bit faster.

Look at Reddit. Last year there was a huge outrage and today it's pretty much the same as before.

Most people don't care. Most people feel so powerless, that they'll accept every privacy scandal, every exploitive business strategy, every sellout of their platform.

I have to say, patents are my only real concerns regarding GMOs.

Most of the other concerns can be tested/ruled out, but patents could absolutely fuck up entire continents and literally enslave millions of small farmers.

It's 100% within the realm of possibilities that Monsanto puts a gene drive in their crops so suddenly every plant in a 20km radius produces "patented" seeds.

So you chose war?

.... And they're able to make chips good enough for their military.

Russia's military is in large parts only slightly refurbished soviet gear. For a T72 or even T90, a 90s era chip is still good enough.

Why do you think they dismantled all those washing machines? The microcontrollers in there aren't high tech at all.

Thing is, you have to measure from the user base on the underside, this graphic obviously uses the wrong method.

I mean, hardly anyone complaining about Java does so because of JVM bytecode.

I'm not sure, where the wasm hate is coming from.

Sad but true.

This country is desperate for workers and too stubborn and racist to actually let people work here.

Exactly. These people are downright evil. They at least accept that their actions kill thousands of people. Why would I has sympathy with a psychopathic murderer?

No, it has to be from the silicon valley, otherwise it's just sparkling oppression.

That's actually a more general problem here. Or maybe indicator.

Trump will spout an opinion on everything, but at the exact point where his opinion actually matters and would have consequences, he dodges and claims ignorance.

What a coward.

It started even earlier, after the ottoman empire fell/dissolved, British and French diplomats basically drew lines on a map Scramble for Africa style and created new countries out of nothing.

That created tons of tension already.

It's market manipulation for money laundering purposes, nothing more.

It's the high street version of putting an empty box for sale on eBay for 10000€.

I literally got the description "make it look cool" in my current project.

We all know the context and can roughly guess what it means, but still...

Momentum. It's still the most popular platform for many niches and it will stay popular as long as it's popular....

Yep. The initial idea was to have a cheap SBC, that you could give to an entire classroom without being worried too much if some of them break. 35€ are not exactly cheap, but doable. 80-90€ is simply not viable for that purpose anymore.

At the same time, for more serious projects, it's lacking too many features like sata, pcie, etc., etc.

I feel like RPi is coasting on momentum, without a clear direction.

If you wouldn't be such a reader and instead memorized things like God intended, you'd know, that this sentiment existed for at least 2000 years:

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

Many women seem to assume that penis and balls are attached actually between the legs, just like where their vaginas are. They are surprised, if they're told, the whole assembly is actually more "at the front".

The reverse is also true, BTW. A lot of boys struggle finding the vagina because from their perspective it's waaay too low.

We barely understand our own bodies, it's not surprising that we have problems with other sexes bodies.

It's baffling to me, that the US always claims to be the champion of freedom, but runs most of their education like part-time prison camps. My school here in Germany didn't give a crap about anyone's appearance. If you're street legal, you're fine in school.

The German one is not that... Liberating:

So lang das Deutsche Reich besteht, wird die Schraube rechts gedreht.

As long as the German empire exists, the screw gets turned right. It's a bit dated.

War and peace aren't that simple. Russia already shot a passenger plane down and nothing happened.

Windows 10 was supposed to be the "last version" of Windows and Windows 11 requires a lot of hardware that older machines simply don't have, most notably TPM. Microsoft creates thousands of tons of ewaste for no reason and the owners of this ewaste have to spend thousands or millions to replace machines that are perfectly fine.

Yes, you can circumvent these restrictions, but not as a business.

And for what reason exactly? IPOs are either for owners to cash out or for the company to gather investment money. RPi doesn't really need money, they sell an extremely popular product. They literally can't produce enough product to quench the Pi thirst.

He starts sounding like Kim Jong Un.

My guess is that all those artificial restrictions plus regurgitation of generated content take their toll.

There are so many manually introduced filters to stop the bot from replying "bad things" and so much of the current internet content is already AI generated, that it's not unlikely that the whole thing collapses in on itself.

Teaching complete "clean slates" is a great way to re-evaluate your understanding.

I've had to teach a few apprentices and while they were perfectly reasonable and bright people, they had absolutely no idea, how computers worked internally. It's really hard to put yourself in the shoes of such persons if it's been too long since you were at this point of ignorance.
