How about just “cannot sell for 20 years”? The usual complaint is going full extractive mode, desperately squeezing profit and selling inside 3-7 years. So, yeah, we can keep private investment. But they're fucking stuck with it, tryin

One strategy to head that off seems to be “Just have a friendly corp buy the victim real quick.”

Maybe it’s a personal thing but I found that at some size it would be like having someone chuck a big foreign codebase in your lap and saying, “Ok, I did most of it, now you make it work.” I kinda have to stay engaged the whole time the bes

Lawyers are already llm’ing their work and getting slapped around in court for making shit up. There’s another case making headlines every week. I get the feeling a lot of them won’t care about this stuff.

Lawyers have that lovely regulatory wall, for better or worse.

This method appears to be, in nearly every way, far better suited for purpose.

Angular and React didn’t solve the same requirements, they were just somewhat workable stand-ins while Aura was jank. And the tooling is heavy, but I’ll repeat, it’s all miles better than it was back then. We traded janky and sparse for a

Are those just like a room full of a few rows of video gambling terminals and basically nothing else? We have those near me (US) now. I don’t even like seeing them. They’re kind of depressing.

VF and Aura overlapped. Aura was just a bad start and janky. We sometimes just did React instead, for a while. LWC is worlds better. And the local tooling with the cli and VSCode extensions is miles better than the old Eclipse/Sublime

There are 10,000 “simple inexpensive replacements”. Always have been. If you need a glorified three object contact list… you shouldn’t buy Salesforce. Those just, obviously, can’t do almost any of the forty million serious things that Sal

Sure, if you’re struggling with weird custom endpoint behavior, or custom triggers and validation, that’s on your admins and devs. But if you’re having trouble with the standard rest or bulk apis, that’s 100% on you.

I wonder if “legacy login” is the shared login gateway. It’s optional but everyone uses it. And it was flaky for an hour or so, like two months ago.

Random Ids? If you mean the “USA324” ones, those are pods. If you’re a customer you know which one(s) you care about.

I like that seatbelt argument example. I’ve seen that type of argument a million times, and I’ll certainly reuse that.

There was a time when I was very, “taking a photograph in public of a publicly visible thing is legal and should remain so.” Now I’m kinda feeling like this Meta glasses shit should be straight-up illegal. These really aren’t for people doi

It did both. I didn’t get offered 26.7 until noon. I did it. Then it offered 27. I did it. But instead it showed that it was updating to… 26.7. Except when it was complete it actually had done 27. Lots and lots of Reddit posts with the sa

You’re mad that Siri was asked to find a recipe in an email and add its items to a grocery list? That doesn’t sound like a cultural divide issue.

It doesn’t appear to be honestly asking. It’s mostly whining that the world is too unfair because capitalism and people are dumb for choosing Signal, etc.

This is not what EU regulators asked for. They want first class access to user data and devices for would-be alternative providers… which Apple simply won’t allow outside PCC. This is not that. This is expanding the Extensions that you alre

by dd8601fn 12d ago
That exists already for Apple devices. They just never give third party models first class access to user and device data. That arrangement will change, somewhat, later today.

I certainly have to try. And the results often ain’t great. I have wondered if painters and interior decorators and such were typically blessed with much better tooling for that. I don‘t know how closely visual recall and creative visualiza

I get what you’re saying but the market had a choice on this, and it chose. They wanted the “smart” tvs. Overwhelmingly. “We” chose this hellscape when we had the opportunity to say no. So I think the person you’re replying to is kinda righ

The actual (and more sinister) answer is that consumers chose it, overwhelmingly, over years. Alternatives existed. People thought they were getting more for their money with “smart” tvs, and bought those. It was fucking dumb, and nearly

Won’t matter. Most of us won’t have paychecks to buy it with. Kidding (…kinda).

Man if anyone else did any of this there would be guys with guns kicking down doors. I don't understand why these companies automatically get a pass.

I, for one, trust neither the psychopaths running these companies or the psychopaths we'd give any regulatory authority to. All of them have reasons to want broad control of an extraordinary technology, and none of those are aligned

The margin on tvs is slim. Companies like Vizio make vastly more on the ads and data than they do on the tvs. Some quarters they even take a loss. They took a $7m bath on hardware while booking about $120m on ads and data. We’re never getti

I did know Liberty Mutual. I had business with them. Now I know them and I’m fucking annoyed that they exist. My “propensity to buy” has not improved. You can save yourself the trouble of repeating more century old marketing truisms that
