I don't believe for one second that Google is doing this because Apple does so too. They would have done so long ago. I would rather bet this has to do with recent political shifts that are also pushing for mandatory digital IDs and sp

Every place I ever worked at made sure to curate the dependencies for their main projects. Heck, in some cases that was even necessary for certifications. Web dev might be a wild west, but as soon as your software is installed on prem by hu

The nerds are the ones who pave the way for technology, enabling people around them to adapt more easily to it. They find new paths into the undiscovered land that then get either shut down or commercially exploited. Companies like Google h

Back in the 90s Sun sold you computers with X amount of space. There was an option to upgrade. If you took it, they sent a technician around to do the upgrade. All they did was making the already existing space available. Sun always sold ha

There's a podcast [1], which features him as a guest to talk about Linux in general. The main impressions I got from it: he is very confused about what UNIX is and he apparently despises UNIX. I think he's well suited for his new

What if you make people do the hard part voluntarily by making the device desirable to them? Including a receptor inside the scull. Then you just have to pick up the pieces. Ever watched Ghost in the Shell?

The same is probably also the case for most superhero comics. They are made for teenage boys going through puberty. Boys with a changing body that now is much stronger than the younger kids. The stories try to give guidance: You have to res

That's an arrangement I also really appreciate. But the origins are different from what most might assume. Apple introduced copy and paste in 1983 using the command key. Microsoft later copied the idea using the control key because PCs

Have a look at r/LLMPhysics. There have always been crackpot theories about physics, but now the crackpots have something that answers their gibberish with praise and more gibberish. And it puts them into the next gear, with polished s

Does the amazing OCR in the macOS Preview app count? As someone who sometimes gets tracebacks sent to as screenshots, I'm really happy about it.

But then you're stuck in the 90s together with the two aging guys who maintain it. I'm joking of course, but that is a bit how I always feel when trying BSD. It reminds me a lot of Linux in the 90s, plus its development appears ki

This might actually be brake dust. In that case, the situation most likely will be improved by electric cars because they use their brakes far less often, decelerating with their motors.

I think you might be missing the mark. The "cyberpunks", the original authors who started the genre, raised eyebrows because in their stories technology wasn't described as something that invariably had a positive impact

We're talking about places that even after decades haven't recovered. What do you think is happening there right now? There's a common fallacy that tries to argue that it'll be alright over time, no matter what happens.

InTune is part of Microsoft's strategy to make everyone dependent on their cloud. It's like switching from Heroin to Fentanyl because you want to get off of your addiction.

Yes and that is a very common case. Windows is designed so that you barely have a chance to deal with your case without Microsoft components all the way. You would need a company with enormous resources to play catch up with the highly int

Maybe your use of Linux is limited to those things that happen to work. As far as I understand, Wayland is deliberately incomplete and a number of problems people have stem from design decisions. Kicad, e.g., reports problems related to

Please keep in mind that the word socialist in this text probably doesn't mean what you think it does. Given it's age, the meaning is very likely more akin to this [1] definition. It means socialism as a form of economy where a
