while valid points, my company uses Microsoft products and they are pretty abysmal in whatever domain they have products in. Edge for example being one of the weaker browser options. (though better than it was in the IE era). Being forced t

you’d probably say something different if it were microsoft. I don’t see why I should give affordances of good will to Google here. They’re not stupid, they know that this is an effective lever to further cement full-fat chrome as the def

by dijit 4mo ago
Google and Microsoft shouldn’t be giving levers that bake you more into their ecosystem regardless. Your corporate serfdom is not in question, but I disagree with that notion too.

Is the implication that Firefox is not maintained or? The issue presented doesn’t seem to be “an up to date browser check” it seems to be a “is it latest chrome” check, which is a very different thing.
275.
by dijit 4mo ago
it shouldn’t be an option. Some IT departments just see a “more secure” checkbox and will always check it, even if it doesn’t make sense holistically- sometimes compliance incentivises (or forces) this behaviour. A common example is forcing

Wasn't aware that Gitlab could do distributed compilation. Horde configurations can only live locally or in Perforce: https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/unreal-engine/horde-... Horde only supports Pe

interesting, is it rude to ask what provider you use? (if it's not EntraID?)

by dijit 4mo ago
How out of date? I migrated from Git (AzureDevops) to Perforce in February this year, this was true then. Horde is approx 8 months in the public eye. Respectfully, what?

I'm actually using helix-authentication-service. Swarm "works with it" in theory, but in practice I had to patch the loginWithSSO function to shell out to the p4 process to handle auth, because P4PHP doesn't expose Clien

yeah, that's actually crazy. I don't know a single AAA (or even AA) studio that hosts Perforce in Cloud at all. Perforce usually starts out life in a gamedev studio as running on "a spare desktop" which then eventually g

Yes, then it breaks because you gave your artist an SSH link to clone and LFS requires a HTTPS auth token and exits with terse errors. Or, you need to lock your files and git doesn't really support that. To be fair, your hypothetical i

ditto; and UE5 on anything that isn't perforce is a lesson in pain. I just took over a team that was using Git, and yes, I know it's everyones favourite VCS but for Games it's just about the worst thing available. I could mea

by dijit 4mo ago
to be totally fair, perforce doesn’t either. There are some awkward workarounds (officially supported ones) which create a local server and you then merge with a remote server upstream, but as you might expect: its awkward and practically n

I agree, but it’s definitely getting worse. It’s a lot less focused than it was.

I think that is very much GPs point.

Weird how vmware console and my bank don’t support firefox. Oh, and Microsoft Teams for a super long time (haven’t checked in a little while). Theres dozens of examples tbh.

Hows that going for… … browsers … phones … operating systems … network appliances … payment transaction systems I feel like if it fails so often then it can’t be relied on.

I once worked for a company that had a .company gTLD but not the .com It was also a bloody nuisance. Spam filters were one thing but there were so many validation forms that failed. Every reasonable variation of the company name as a .com&#

Since it underpins so much of the modern browser ecosystem it becomes a primary target for webapps to work. As such, if you want to be sure a website will work you use chrome. Since chrome has such a market share, developers feel justified

Companies have run some absolutely outstanding PR then. I have never worked in any company where I explicitly trust the CEO to always do the right thing in every situation. There is usually no governance board, or review system to inquire a

That's not the trade-off you make though. The involved ISP and respective governments do still see everything, but also cloudflare and the US ISPs they use see it in the clear. Also the US has a history of abusing its position here, ev

those folding phones are permanently bulging and enormous. I feel like I'm the only person on earth sometimes who just wants the phone to be small so it's easy to carry and use one-handed. I want to live life when I'm out and

This totally depends. For some people, Linux package management is not solved. Static binaries at least work for deployment. More useful for client software, but you can’t just dismiss someone for having this preference given the poor v

not just that, people keeping to older OS’s will actively avoid converting to new hardware sales.. I did not upgrade my laptop because it would come with the latest OS- I am not alone.

You can, but basically every menu assumes Apple Music as a service, and its worse with each version. You can technically still buy albums, but you can really tell its only there because it was forgotten about.

Yeah, absolutely. At least to my British ears, Americans rarely sound authentic. Its always grandiose statements and elaborate smiles.
