I think it’s just because all the stuff has so much sludge from the flood on it that it looks washed up, like most AI content does. There are almost no straight edges, just like with AI, because everything has been roughed up by the water.
Sure, it’s either everyone cares, or no one cares. No in between. Dude.
Look at the statistics. US has 1K servers. Thats 1 server per 340 000 people. France has 1 server per 82 000 people. Germany has 1 server per 114 000 people. See where I’m going with this?
Last I checked, the Fediverse as a whole is kind of an European thing. Across the pond, nobody really cares. They have a very different understanding of privacy and freedom and therefore no real desire to use some decentralized crap with shitty UI and broken federation when there’s a perfectly good alternative out there that just works™️
Yeah, like I said, they did a great job. 10-30 years ago. Not anymore. Just because something was true in the past doesn’t mean it’s still true now.
I don’t know. Them being successful to me sounds like saying kidnappers can get girls. Might technically be true, but misleading. Microsoft managed to kidnap the modern economy by having had a good product previously. If we were to reset things, nobody in their right mind would go with any of the modern Microsoft products. They’re all objectively worse than their counterparts. But due to economic reasons and probably something to do with Stockholm syndrome and laziness, people are trapped in the Microsoft ecosystem.
Because it doesn’t really solve much. After every update of external libraries, do you go through all the diffs to see if there is malicious code? Of course you don’t. And even if you would, it’s not even always possible to spot it. So all locking packages does is postpone the problem to when you eventually update. As an added bonus, you’re now vulnerable to all the legitimate issues that get fixed in those updates you’re not installing regularly.
I was more referring to OPs comment on how that statement is soulless. Unfortunately I only knew about this after reading it, because I can’t read minds. Who cares about corporate speech if they close down anyways?
Who cares?
I think the next thing people should complain about is the abysmal 256 GB of storage. That’s barely enough to fit the OS plus updates at this point. Should be at least 512 GB, given how basically free NVMe storage is these days.
Just trust the algorithm, bro!
Amen. I am 100% convinced that the only reason Windows 10 was received this well was because of their tremendous marketing efforts around the release. People just accepted that it’s a great OS. It’s exactly like that Windows Vista Mojave experiment, just in reverse. In my opinion Windows 10 is even worse than Windows 11. But they didn’t do as much marketing around Windows 11.
As much as I hate Elton, SpaceX and StarLink have developed genuinely very great technologies. I feel like NASA could have done the same years ago already, but apparently it needed a space cunt to do it. Sure it sucks that StarLink for example is owned by Elmo, but honestly… better than not having it at all.
Interesting. So essentially Arm is butthurt that Qualcomm doesn’t want to send them a shitload of money and instead tries to do their own thing, so Arm is trying to force them into buying their product regardless?
From my understanding, most companies take the reference design from Arm and then alter it to fit their needs.
MikroTik is very affordable and can be configured quite extensively.
From what I understand, WordPress has been attacking WPengine more or less out of nowhere and is trying to destroy their business because their product competes with Wordpress.com (for many, many years now)
It’s basically like a room full of people with USB sticks. If you are just taking all of their USB sticks to download data off of, but you don’t put your data back on the USB sticks to share them with others, you’ll get kicked out of the part for being a jerk. It’s the same with torrents.
They are not the classic client-server thing that the web usually is. There isn’t a big server you are downloading from, it’s just other people that are seeding the torrent. So it’s common courtesy to do the same to allow more people to download it.
That’s the beauty of torrents. With servers, you just have to tell the owner to take the file down. With torrents, you’ll have to find every person that currently has the file and seeds it to take it fully offline. So yes, this exposes you to some risks. If you are downloading pirated content and live in a country where these laws are enforced, you’ll want to use a VPN to torrent. But with seeding, you’re giving back to the community that you’re taking from.
Photoshop exists.
Kudos on the project! I often thought about building something similar myself, because I wasn’t happy with what’s out there. Everything is so complicated to set up and way too oversized for a simple log collection service, or the UI is just bad and super unintuitive for no reason. Glad you’re brining some new wind into the space.
