This is a silly thread. The difference in situations here is literally that on the one hand large corporations have spent money to market the idea that their services are essential because the alternative is incredibly difficult. On the oth

Not having fillings is worth a lot more than spending £96 every 5 years (electric toothbrush £40 + £2.80 head every 3 months).

My priorities are: Not wanting fillings. The difference between using a tongue brush and an electric toothbrush (vs just manual brushing with and without a tongue brush) was so stark that I've never for a moment felt like £40 for a too

It's really irrelevant what Linus does now or what your personal opinion of version control is. The point is, git does certain things well, and a large portion of its users don't seem to need or want it. Not it might be because th

People wonder why Linus Torvalds dislikes github. Imagine writing a highly performant and featureful relational database and successfully using it with large projects for a while without the database itself becoming particularly popular and

Does a change being accepted into master equal it becoming live in production at your company? That seems even more ludicrous.

Strange advice. Git was designed around the idea of a clean history. Now, one might claim that "designed around the idea" does not necessarily mean that it doesn't work if you don't keep a clean history. However, there&#

Software success seems to be 90% about advertising and finding innovative ways to destroy your competition. Microsoft are the masters of that approach.

I have to ask, as I have never bought active headphones, all my headphones are user servicable already. I've even had to repair the soldering joints on my M40x once. The cables are all removable. The pads are easily replacable. Are act

A word about what? When discord became popular, IRC as a gaming community platform was all but dead.

by Arch-TK 3y ago
At the time discord became popular almost nobody was using IRC for games communities anymore.

Yes, in the past, so what? It doesn't explain why the "server" terminology was used long past IRC's prime. Regarding teamspeak, you're wrong. That may have been your limited experience but I saw many actual communit

In the past, not really at the time when discord first became popular. This makes it questionable why they named their user silos "servers".

Wow. I was expecting at least to be able to keep my account even if I can't use it to play the game. The nickname is two characters long, I've received multiple offers from people trying to buy it. I don't want to sell it on

I can totally imagine a situation in which, in the future, someone buys a new old stock pixel phone and can't replace the OS because the bootloader can't be unlocked because the servers don't exist anymore. A few years ago I

What? Outside of like minecraft on espernet and a few obscure old games which have communities on quakenet nobody was really using IRC for gaming communities. Those existed largely on various forums, Skype, reddit, teamspeak and steam.

"Wait, is this is the same company that shoved IE down our throats for years and got sued for anti-competitive practices?" Really though? It was that easy? On my shit-list it's definitely way above Facebook, Apple, and Google

There is no alternative to AirTags which doesn't take up additional space or come with major downsides. The way AirTags work is by using low power ultra wideband communications to respond to what are effectively ping packets which get

I think the issue is that, and I'm paraphrasing something which someone else said but which I think reflects what I've seen, nobody (at least in larger companies) wants to be responsible for a bad hiring decision. While yes, you c
