Yeah. I’m on a relatively old build with DDR4, but still a decent processor and GPU. So far gaming have not been an issue with whatever I’m throwing at it. Not much in the way of loading times, and no real problem with the size of it. Some less game-y stuff, like video transcoding and 3D renders, also fine. And while I can see those improving somewhat with DDR5, I’m not sure it’s the actual bottleneck. And gaming won’t be much better with it… I mean seriously, moving loading times from 3 seconds to 2? I don’t really care.

The real issue will be when things starts to break down, as hardware do over time. It’s not that I want to replace the hardware if there’s no pressure from the software side, but I will have to if RAM goes bad, or motherboard decide to not power up.

A cassette tape.

It’s never been done before, and can never be done after, obviously. Not a chance. Nope. It’s not like it worked before, not like windows placement is not really the business of the taskbar app, not like it works with almost every other DE/OS, too.

Absolutely impossible. Microsoft, that apparently did not make windows up until now otherwise they’d know this explanation is pure bullshit, have absolutely no way, no resources, no knowledge on how to setup the available rectangular area on the screen for window placement. Nope.

The amount of bullshit is incredible. The DE sets the windows position. The DE tells the apps what’s the “usable” desktop area. It worked for decades. And now “you can’t imagine the amount of work”

Fuck you microsoft. Not that I care anymore. Even your excuses are pathetic.

One would expect such a small sample size to lower the crash rates. But tesla is subverting expectations yet again.

At some point there’ll be enough pressure for a large enough fork of Firefox and Thunderbird to exist separately from Mozilla. Keep pushing, random clueless CEO.

Everybody knows that this is yet another distraction, but how fragile are they ready to look like. They feel threatened by a text font and some numbers these days.

I wonder how easy it would be for them to come back after trashing their brand, probably changing their production lines (server and dedicated RAM isn’t exactly the same), and after investing what’s supposed to be earning that might or might not materialize if their customer just won’t pay the bills.

Well, I can see some use cases. But they’re usually not pointed down in the bowl.

Lot’s of assumption here. And having lived long enough to see “that’s definitely the best language ever” happens multiple times, I’m not too worried.

Until we get something different than LLM that is able to actually understand what’s happening and combine things in different ways, the only thing that might dwindle in the future is the cost of rewriting the same app every six months, since an LLM might (still lots of assumption) be able to regurgitate it. People writing new things will still be required for a long time. And these people will want new, shiny languages for all the same reasons we keep making new languages to this day.

It’s also illegal. The “no fuck you” button should be as visible and accessible as the “accept all”.

Make it as easy for users to withdraw their consent as it was for them to give their consent in the first place.

Obviously, no one cares. There’s no real consequences, cookies are still dropped on your system regardless of consent, and cookies weren’t even the real problem to begin with, user profiling had already moved to include other invasive techniques.

As far as making something complex and useless go, it’d have been way easier to work with the w3c to add attributes to cookies to identify their purpose (essential, preferences, etc.) so the browser could filter them out based on that attributes and the matching of the current website. It would have meant way less work on the website owners, provide ways for end-user to set their preferences universally and be done with it, enforced said preferences, and so on. And people that would lie on the purpose of their cookie would still lie, but could be caught red-handed (assuming anyone actually cared).

Instead we got this mess.

It’s not “all out there”, unless you let it go out there.

Most interaction with people on privacy-hostile services are out there, yes. But that’s far from “all”.

Storage space, ensuring quality settings, supporting more device than “your tv”, smaller bandwidth requirements.

What, you think parents should watch over their kid and provide them interaction? What is this, year 1200?

Either prayers don’t work, or they make god super duper angry.

One of them couldn’t digest cheese, so they had to go.

I sense a secret underlying passion for dairy product, barely hidden beind the gamer introduction.

Most of the time when I see a “community note” I mentally picture the people doing a slight facepalm and sighing. This one seems it’d require a two-hand facepalm.

I’ll never put foot on that hellhole again, but it would be funny if this was something he posted on twitter and grok showed up to “correct” him.

Yes, but under the promise that you won’t be under any kind of protection if it happens again in a few years.
