Exactly. I wasn't specific because I thought it was obvious. I need to search for old emails all the time. I'd hardly want to use shortwave sometimes, but flip to Gmail multiple times a day. I thought that limitation was by design

I tried it out, but instantly realized the 'free' version is go restrictive it's useless. I get many startups want to make sure the free version isn't too good, but here the free version is unusable. Also, $9/mo for

agreed. Ubuntu are trying to hard to differentiate themselves, and it usually just hurts them. I'm guessing they'll drop snap in the future and blame the industry (like they did with systemd and wayland)

But Ryzen has to support a bunch of legacy instructions, and M2 does not. That’s a huge advantage

not to be cynical. But presumably many CEOs knew the COVID demands wouldn't last forever, and overhired anyway. I mean, look at Peleton, did they really think everyone would be locked in their houses for all eternity? No, they took sho

AMD should build an arm chip. There's only so much efficiency you can build into the ageing x86_64 architecture

You add a lot of complexity and points of failure with this model.

The world is the process of moving from x86 to Arm. This is a huge opportunity for lots of tech companies. So what does IBM do? Innovate on POWER and s390x. Why? Because they need to avoid competition, because they'll lose.

Without reading the article, they're obviously doing this to force Edge on people. Also, without reading the article, I wish they'd done this years ago. Long before Edge :).

But it's Facebook. So you'd pay for it, and there would accidentally be a 'bug', and paying customers would have their data sold anyway.

me too. Literally, IBM is a me too company. They haven't innovated in years. Their marketing department is probably larger than their engineering department. I actually interviewed at IBM 15 or so years ago. They had me attend this sem

well, the old way of doing it is with named VMs "webserver01". The more modern way of for those names to essentially be UUIDs. They're individually unimportant, and get spun up/down automatically based on load and/o

my guess wasn't about the raw percentages. But that they increased it. It's ridiculous to think that Meta gave bad ratings to their best people. They just pushed people downwards.

How have the killed WhatsApp? It's still the dominant instant messenger.

nothing? My guess is they've changed the ratios. Maybe previously Zuck expected 10% to get subpar reviews, and now he's asked for 30%.

>>The whole point of kubernetes is to not think about your servers anymore because they in essence can be replaced at any time. Isn't that also the case for VMs?

This kind of stuff is annoying. Netlify had no need to acquire this. They just want to increase their revenue. As a Hugo user on Netlify, I hope this doesn't affect me negatively.

I don't know about claiming Debian is free from corporate interest. As a packager, sure. And for its own stuff like APT, yes. But that's just a fraction of the overall Debian codebase. Debian ultimately follows the OSS community f

Can confirm. I was at HP during Leo's tenure. I remember we bought Palm in July, 2010, but because the Palm Tablet (TouchPad) didn't immediately eclipse the iPad in sales, the whole thing was cancelled. How arrogant do you have to

if the update was just an executable, it wouldn't require maintenance, just hosting. They chose to have the update use a webservice. That's on them. I'm not mad about it. I use Linux, so I was able to update my controller on

Rather than yet another workaround for not being able to update devices, I wish they would just solve the actual problem. For updates. Google should be able to do that without changing drivers/kernel. Similar to how Microsoft does it w

Some companies actively block native browser bookmark/profile syncing. Does this get around that?

Sure, as a smaller company, this makes sense. And if they stay small, and want to minimize cost, fine. If they target tech-people, again, fine. But in my view, mass adoption really requires better UX/perf.

I'm neither for or against Material Design, but when I used Android, but MD was generally a good sign that the app was well supported, and the devs cared about UX. When I'd search for an app, the high quality apps were almost alwa

They must be incredibly jealous of all the successful note taking apps (Notion, Ulysses, Bear, Craft). Evernote were first, and blew it. No other way to describe it. I dumped Evernote when they restricted their free accounts to 2 devices. I
