Bad experience might have been caused by the Getty vs Google lawsuit. Getty wasn't happy that Google provided direct links to images, bypassing the need to open the webpage.

Thought experiment. Imagine that MasterCard charged 30% of every purchase at the groceriy store, restaurant, pay gas or shop online. Or... what if Windows charged software developers 30% of sales of any product. And Microsoft wouldn't

I love KDE applications and Qt based applications, they are usually way more polished compared to GTK counterparts. However, it's hard for me to choose KDevelop for serious development. As long as it doesn't have feature parity wi

"A Pinephone will never support all the proprietary apps (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Fortnite, etc)." That sounds like a feature I'm excited about :).

I applaud this note. I wouldn't be surprised if regular newspapers have bullshit metrics that lower the quality: - Words per article - Number of clicks - Articles posted It's the equivalent of measuring lines of code and transform

I'll disagree with this one. I'd actually be inclined to job-hop more frequently if I have the skill to pass hard interviews at any tier 1 company, thus maximizing my earnings. If I don't, I just stay put knowing I lucked out

I think you are right, what I wanted to say is free for commercial uses without restrictions like LGPL's dynamic linking requirement. I'm thinking something like MIT or BSD licenses. Not sure if there's a term for this, &quot

It's hard to compete with Open Source Libre libraries and lower C++ interest in new developers, not to mention developing in C++ is harder than many other languages. My employer still struggles to this day finding good recent grads rem

There's a lot of essential software that I would improve, but I wouldn't replace or rewrite: - Nautilus. Serious usability/UX problems. - Audio in linux. Ubuntu often selects the wrong audio devices (microphone, headphones, s

I don't think that's a good analogy because having a pilot or not is not optional. A better analogy would be extra baggage. I appreciate being able to save $25-$50 in domestic flights by not bringing an extra bag.

In addition, food delivery is not a basic need, it's a luxury. If a luxury delivery service drives Lamborghinis and charge 200 to wealthy people, so be it. If a Toyota Corolla wants to charge up to 25% for your local pasta restaurant,

I disagree with this move. Why should we force a cap rather than let market competition improve prices? I believe it's better to fix shady practices. If I pay 25% to Uber, I want to know I paid 25% to them and not the restaurant. Then

I don't like it compared to the previous layout. The new layout has soft boundaries between boxes that make it harder mentally to distinguish one box from another.

Funny you said that about Jeff. I read his article just recently and also happened to use three monitors in my office for a while. I started developing neck pain, so I had to go back to one. At least buying a 4k/120hz monitor is not pa

With all due respect, I think you missed the point. This is not a terminal vs GUI problem. He's discussing a 1 step process (terminal) vs 10-15 step process (GUI). If Dropbox allowed you to install in 1 single step, I'm sure the a

I recently started doing video editing with blender and it has been a pleasant experience. I have a beefy computer though, not a toaster. I own an RPi4, and it stutters doing something basic like 1080p video playback on VLC, so not ideal fo

Lots of grocery stores in the US have a bunch of self checkout lanes and only 2-3 cashier lanes. Walmart, target, Kroger, Lowe's Foods, etc. It does help if you go when there's low traffic.

The point of snap is you have one single package for all releases instead of one package for each release. This reduces the maintenance burden, while also allowing you to have up to date packages. The way this is done is by bundling all dep
