I've been a Tidal subscriber for several years, and while I've not seen much of the AI music problem (yet), there's been a big issue with people getting their music intentionally or unintentionally labelled under other artist

The most common word I entered after my forename is my surname. All other keyboards handled this fine, but FUTO didn't. That's what's odd

by jordand 4mo ago
It never had my own surname as a suggestion, and there's many people, places and things called 'Jordan' in some way

by jordand 4mo ago
I used the FUTO keyboard for a few months but ditched it as the word suggestions were either odd or random (one example: I'd write 'Jordan' and it would always suggest 'Peterson' as the next word), and I'd got

That does happen, and that junior level work is constructive, but what I've also experienced and noticed is that companies put a lot of effort into finding and hiring exceptionally skilled juniors (industrial placement schemes, graduat

Your point is valid and yeah, it's a never-ending fight just to keep the control we have. Things like the Play Protect API and loads of Android apps being coupled to Play Services is it's own big challenge we're stuck with ju

Curve Pay has worked well for me. Only good alternative as it doesn't depend on Google Play Services too

I've been running GrapheneOS for 7 months now and I'm not going back. When I bought my Pixel 10 last year, I wasn't actually planning on trying Graphene for a while....until I noticed Google had force bundled a 'Wicked F

Only silver lining to this is they run a lot of discounts and promotions on them, and it's possible to buy them at a significant discount. Got my first Pixel 10 on a very cheap contract with trade-in promos on top, and got a second Pix

Your perception of him is the result of a very carefully crafted image and PR management going back decades to the 80's. His behaviour and controversies with Microsoft have been well known since the 90's (Melinda Gates relationshi

The main frameworks with traction like Slint UI, egui, tauri, and Dioxus all have baseline accessibility support

Slint UI does have bindings in other languages, but tutorials and docs are still lacking. Qt Bridges is a new option on the way for leveraging Qt with Rust and other language bindings. Link: https://www.qt.io/development&#x2

Yup yet another completely unnecessary merger that burns billions, reduces choices and quality for consumers, and produces nothing of value.

For Natural Selection 2, it was mainly the gameplay logic that was Lua, all running on their bespoke C++ game engine called Spark. But yeah, modern Python and Lua can be pushed to high performance. Link: https://unknownworlds.com

Eh they announced in April that Tim is staying on as Executive Chairman, and the expectation is he'll deal with the politics so the new CEO doesn't (quite likely he'll give Trump another shiny gift)

Yeah I could imagine the AV1 codec sticking around for a very long while, even as a fallback for AV2. There's still hundreds of millions of people out there using old/cheap devices (especially in developing countries) where that b

'AV2 decoding is roughly five times more complex than AV1 decoding. In practice, that means software running on today’s hardware will struggle to decode AV2 in real time without careful, architecture-specific optimization' AV1 sof

Yeah simplest explanation might be my nails being abrasive and whatever grease is on my fingers. That's with 35h a week usage and no eating while typing. Not had this issue with other decent quality mice and keyboards though.

by jordand 5mo ago
I'm stuck in the same relationship with them: MX Master 3s/4 is my perfect productivity mouse. Problem? The rubber coating gradually disintegrates and accumulates dirt. ERGO K860 is my perfect keyboard. Problem? The plastic ABS su

Still a bit weird that this text editor has an immense amount of venture capital invested in it, but yeah, I'll probably end up giving Zed another go. Still, they've made some odd decisions in the past. It took a lot of community

The graduates were expressing their free speech rights, and they know what they're up against. Schmidt does not care about them at all.

There's now an Avalonia back-end for .NET MAUI in preview, so they are making an effort on that cross-platform front too. Link: https://avaloniaui.net/blog/maui-avalonia-preview-1

Last I read, it really doesn't now. Less than 10% of Microsoft revenue is Windows with growth stagnant. It's all about subscriptions and recurring revenue now driving growth. They might as well bundle a Windows licence with all Ga

Andreas is involved with FUTO's conferences, and given a keynote presentation at one. It's more than just financial.

Yeah with MSIX, the security is better for end users, but the trade off is there's a lot less flexibility for developers (limits on custom installs, accessing registry, Custom Actions, etc.) This works out fine for most desktop apps, a

Ladybird has a close relationship with FUTO which is a pretty oddly behaved private for-profit company ran by a bored multi-millionaire. https://drewdevault.com/blog/Whats-up-with-FUTO/

Yeah, and legislation would be needed here but that's just not going to happen. With the GrapheneOS Motorola partnership (only a Lenovo subsidiary but its something) and hopefully more with other manufacturers, this might turn the tide
