What if the technology was only/primarily tested with white people, rather than inherently having better outcomes for white adults? It's not really as clear cut as you make it out to be, technologies at this level of complexity ar

well, there's always the librem and pinephone, although they're not at the point of maturity just yet

you can't just go by retail price though, it becomes a question of whether it's cheaper to implement a better clean room or to just slightly scale up production to account for breakage

what license did they change to/from?

That doesn't mean they're meaningfully comparable (in the context we are talking about). A $100 budget android phone that was released at the same time as the latest iphone also belongs to the same generation, but that doesn'

Even so, I assume it's using specialty parts to meet size constraints, making them harder to replace.

it is undeniably pretty slick to just have everything inside the frame of the bike. But as with phones, to some extent elegance is at odds with repairability. I'd rather have something that lasts a long time.

I never used office software much, but I do use it to view the occasional csv. I avoid cloud offerings like the plague, since I don't like getting rug-pulled.

I don't think it's a fair comparison. OpenOffice sees no meaningful development, and it still has the brand recognition, causing people to mistakenly install it thinking it's basically libreoffice, i.e. actively maintained so

I never have the problem of everything hanging except on an old laptop with only 4gb memory, in OOM conditions. If a program hangs I can just use the KDE task manager or kill -9 to make it compliant

maybe it helped that the other companies had specific physical products as an end goal. It's not like he wasn't doing stupid shit at tesla, but at the end of the day, the people actually doing the work are still focusing on making

Hey! I'll have you know, I don't print improvements for my 3D printer, I mostly don't use my 3d printer at all

if you're gonna go that way, you might as well go with shitfactoring

To me enshittification is when the overall usefulness of a piece of software starts going down as more money is attempted to be squeezed out of its users. Agree that it's not a technical phenomenon

I don't like that at all. it all seems to be too informally specified and requires divine knowledge to actually know how you're supposed to use the magic function properties.

I think they meant batteries you can swap without taking the machine apart, like old laptops had

Interesting, I don't know anything about music notation, why do they say this isn't/shouldn't be a feature on the forums?

That's an interesting point, I guess the whole thing is rooted in not wanting to communicate to kids that their success is the result of innate, immutable talent. But if the kid didn't actually work hard, and you praise their hard

true in the context of HN, but kind of a moot point from a more broad consumer perspective, I think.

not outright rejected either though, the PRs just both died

yeah, see also image-2023-04-25 which is way earlier and comes really close, surrounded by garbage

constantly putting a pause button on progress for 20 years because someone owns a key patent (e.g. e-ink, 3d printing) does much more harm for progress than documenting these things in patents does good

it did, but mostly because safari dragged its feet for years. Thank god they didn't take this long for AVIF (though I would have loved it if they had shipped AVIF in io15, since a bunch of devices won't get ios16)
