Nothing happened to them, they're still around; just consolidated into industrial operations. The "twist" is they rot as e-waste every 18 months when newer models arrive, generating roughly 30,000 metric tonnes of eWaste annu

There has never been an industry that does that consistently (that wasn't government subsidised at least). We got lucky with the dotcom bubble. There's no guarantee of anything, and it's totally possible for the industry to c

I have the same observation, and I’ve often been curious about it. I think truthfully, if we do anything for too long our bodies overoptimise for the task and we lose the benefits to fitness and other health issues also creep in. Young cons

I actually have the opposite opinion. In game development we care a lot about build systems- and annoyingly, we have vanishingly few companies coming to throw money at our problems. The few that do, charge a kings ransom (Incredibuild). Our

given that wayland support didn’t even exist the last time I tried it on linux (unsure how long ago, but not long), progress must have been extremely swift.

Your claim that "if it was consistently bad, it would have been replaced already" just... totally misunderstands how enterprise software decisions work, even in organisations where people value their time. Switching costs are enor

That: and microsoft routes all calls through their servers. Fine if you live near a datacenter. In Sweden though, you go through France. Not ideal.

"I don't have an issue with it" tells me you've never used anything else. Have you tried Slack? Zulip? Mattermost? Fucking... IRC from 1988? Teams isn't just mediocre, it's aggressively hostile to basic usabili

You'd understand why there's no even half-decent clients for Teams if you ever tried to write a bot in Teams. That's just a pure lesson in pain. Webhooks work, but proper bots are borderline impossible; at least without givin

you'd be surprised how much your command of the english language translates into legalise. Yes, there's a definite codex of legal terms that have specific legal meaning but sound like "open to interpretation" english, bu

I'm not sure. Think of the Game hits from the 90's. A room full of people made games which shaped a generation. Maybe it was orders of magnitude harder then, but today, it's multiple orders of magnitude more people required

You're right that free software philosophy is political, and I benefited enormously from that. But there's a crucial difference between "this tool has political implications" and "you must actively engage with every

The question assumes we know what someone believes before we've spoken to them. That's the actual problem here, people are being excluded based on assumed beliefs rather than demonstrated behaviour. Opinions evolve through exposur

idk, works for me. On the extremely rare occasion I have to replace my laptop, I literally just point it to the backup on the network with the cable plugged in, and an hour later it's "my laptop" again.

I grew up poor enough that my classmates called me "Tramp". Hand-me-downs so threadbare they could pass for actual rubbish, couldn't afford deodorant or adequate dental hygiene; the works. The 10-year-old £5 computer that bar

Scaleway has all of that except EFS which should be solved another way anyway realistically, and the CDN. Object Storage as a replacement for EFS, or CIFS if its a legacy server app, or if you hate yourself: NFS. Theres options here, but th

I'm not sure this holds up when you look at the actual numbers. In 2016, you could get a DDR4-2400 16GB kit for $81 [1], and a comparable G.SKILL Ripjaws V kit was around $52 [2]. Today (January 2026), that same G.SKILL kit costs $105-

I haven't enjoyed the iPhone since it could sit flat on a table. (5S) I can't tell you that I use the phone differently than I did then, because I don't. The camera on a phone, for me, is a nice to have in the moment, I'

You're confusing cause and effect. London's surplus exists because the entire country funded its infrastructure for decades. You've just admitted London got massively more investment - then you point at the returns from that

by dijit 9mo ago
This is demonstrably false. The data shows the exact opposite. Transport spending in London was £1,313 per capita in 2023/24, compared with just £368 per head in the East Midlands[0] - nearly 4x the investment. Over the decade to 2022&

Let me know when Android base OS has ads in the UI. If the largest advertising company on the planet isn’t making it part of the base operating system — then that should tell you something, don’t you think?

So, uh. I kinda don't want to share this because: A) it's a bad idea B) it means it will be less unique and C) I got teased for it a long time ago by my other nerd friends. But the US DOD has huge blocks of prefixes that it does

Yes, I paid for Windows 11. It came bundled with the £1,900 laptop I bought. The fact that the licence cost is hidden in the hardware price doesn't make it free. And even if it were free, which it isn't, that still wouldn't j

The Ass-Fucker 3000 fucks you in the arse when you use your car ignition. But don't get bent out of shape - you can disable it in settings. Takes 10 seconds. Assuming you know it exists and the option doesn't disappear in a future
