Right on both counts, but the pricing part is kind of how my MacBook is overpriced; they can afford to overcharge me because I have nowhere else to go that gives me the same returns for investment. i.e. It's both overpriced and worth w

Because it doesn't meet the criteria. To summarise heavily, they are: - Size criteria: Have an annual turnover in the European Economic Area (EEA) of at least €7.5 billion in each of the last three financial years, or Have a

It was actually due to the way "gatekeeper" is defined. The EU has now said that although iPads (still) do not meet the criteria, they are being explicitly targeted anyway. My guess is because this is simpler than expanding the cr

Excellent! This was a bad oversight, and I'm so happy it's being corrected. For one thing, it makes native Gecko more viable for Mozilla :)

There's a lot of sentiment here uncritically equating "right" to "the law". Yes, they almost certainly will not win because it seems (at least to a layperson like me) that they've broken the law. However, that

I wish Apple would be consistent with their reasoning abilities :/ Much of it is great, so it's that much more confusing for people when there are things that make no sense. The gestures on iPhones come to mind. I'm used to t

I've been with them for a couple of years now, and happy. I get the VPN on my plan too, which saves me paying for it elsewhere, plus I trust Proton already. In terms of e-mail, it's pretty good. Nothing special, but the fact that

Face ID for the win :) Good luck using the same powers to force people into not keeping one eye closed.

Stop forcing things. I agree that having a diverse workforce is beneficial for everyone, the company, the workforce, and to some extent society, but this isn't the way to go about it. If there aren't any woman to hire in tech role

Consider how my family was able to handle it, growing up on a council estate (kind of like a ghetto, in America) in the 80s. Sure there was probably more T.V. than was healthy, but there was as much quality time as possible. Nowadays we say

Aaah, Gruber, _that_ apologist shill. He’ll contort in any way necessary to fit Apple’s narrative that day, because that’s easy when you lack a spine.

I don't think he was suggesting it's a moral failure, but I'd agree if he meant (and I think he did) that it's a personal failure. This idea that nothing is anybody's fault any more and nobody is to blame, logically

I thought it went without saying, but I meant out of the normies, who? I don't know anyone outside of tech that even knows what IPv6 _is_ let alone is asking for it.

by ghusto 3y ago
The question answers itself: No IPv6 because apparently Amazon, Azure, Twitter, and all the others on the list are doing great without it. When I turn IPv6 off and everything starts working normally again on my home network, it's a saf

> customers are increasingly demanding IPv6 Who? Where?

by ghusto 3y ago
This go-to argument for why we must all start using IPv6 doesn't fly, at least for me. We ran out of IPv4 some time ago, and yet, here we still are.

It's okay to be bored. Boredom serves a purpose. When boredom is taken away from you, you end up not making an effort for anything worthwhile. People worry about what (web caused) divisive propaganda, erosion of social skills, and atte

You're being modest in describing it as an FFmpeg "wrapper". Although technically true, I can see a lot of thought and effort went into the UX, and I think that's where the value lies. Good job!

This could have been fantastic, but has been bureaucratted to shitdom by the EU in the same way they "solved" daylight savings time. Mozilla will now need to invest the limited resources they have to port Gecko to iPhones in the E

No :( I _really_ hope Mozilla will pull their thumb out on this, but the baffling omission of iPads, and the EU-exclusivity of the law, make this an unattractive endeavour in terms of investment. I really can't understand how the EU le

Why do you say Mozilla doesn't care about Firefox any more?

I'm more hopeful. Just as most wouldn't bother digging through their settings to change their browser away from Safari, they also won't bother digging through their settings to change their browser _back_ to Safari. I think i

That's right, it's not like that. Nintendo sues when they know they can win, as in the Yuzu debacle where keys were extracted and distributed in order for the emulator to work. There's nothing like that necessary for NES, SNE

I've never liked Slack, but it's UX perfection in comparison. I'm so sorry you have to tolerate MS Teams. Have you thought of quitting? Joking aside, it says a lot about a company when they use MS Teams.
