With 2024 and 2023 being 2nd and 1st resp. The last 11 years were the hottest 11 in recorded history. I don't know how more evidence we need. We are standing on the train tracks, the train is coming, and many of us say "Oh just lo

Fair enough. If there remains an option to still opt in to full control over my h/w at the expense of some vendors saying that I can't use my phone with them, that's good enough.

And so it begins... Or continues... Apple is already a walled garden, granting you only access to your hardware and they see fit. Google desperately wants to follow suit by enforcing developer registration (which is just the first step)

Tangentially related... Is it just me, but is Wayland still lagging behind X11? From things like window placement, night light, etc. Things seem to work just out of the box in X11, and there are always issues in Wayland. (For me this is spe

What the... It seems we crossed into the realm of intentionally doing damage. I'm reminded of threatening tariffs to successfully derail global carbon levy on ship emissions. Meanwhile China runs away with all the clean energy tech (so

Can't tell if your comment sarcasm or not. But I'll bite. Sure thing. It's all fraud and conspiracy. Fundamental science is worthless if it cannot be immediately monetized. All scientist are money-hungry crooks. Let's ju

Nice. Someone is doing something. Apple's app store monopoly together with a 30% commission is a modern form of way-laying. Meanwhile Google is trying to go the opposite way with mandatory developer registration/verification. In t

So Monotype is going to make some more money in the short term, then when customers eventually find replacements they lose the revenue. Sounds like a typical private equity endeavor with short term thinking.

Hmm... If anybody meets the definition of his antichrist, it might be him. The notion that there is an antichrist and that "international agencies, environmentalism and guardrails on technology could quicken its rise" is ludicrous

Software patents are mostly garbage and unneeded. And I say that having some in my name (I actually tried to get my name off them, but our lawyers said it's not possible). Show me one useful software patent that (a) is not "obviou

I used to be paid for a decade to work on open source software - by my employer. We always upstreamed fixes. This is the only way. Filing bugs, etc, is also has some value, but if a big company uses a piece of open source software and makes

Please complain here: https://developer.android.com/developer-verification/guides/... (there's a link at the end). Probably won't help, but it is something.

How will Google know about my choice? I want to let them know that now there is no reason anymore to prefer to Android over another ecosystem. Also, my hardware, my choice. It seems there is no way to actually let them know.

Didn't Java 1.3 (Sun's JDK) introduce the JIT? I remember talking to colleagues about what a joke Java performance was (we were working in C++ then). And then with Java 1.3 that started to change. (Today, even though I still C++,

FWIW, I have disabled Chrome on my Android phones a whole ago and Firefox is the default browser - of course with uBlock origin.

The cynical part in me wants to say: "Because it worked so well the last time!" Did Boeing implement internal and process changes to justify this? That's an actual question, if they did this step would make sense. I want to t

Did anybody really expect any other possible outcome? Humans have an astonishing ability to put their self-interest before others. Even if it money vs a life. That said... How much is a day, a month, or a year of a human life worth? Since i

I followed a different approach with my son. We gave him a phone pretty early, and didn't even have a lot of rules around it (no family controls, etc). The agreement I had with him: "Scroll all day, play video games, etc. That is

Without meaning this in any way condescending: I am really proud of you as fellow human being! Finding peace in such a situation takes courage, strength, and reflection, and you apparently have/found all of these.

Perhaps it is. I was merely asking. Reading the article I find nothing to object in there as such, and so I was wondering why this would be flagged. "Oh heck someone flagged it" is not quite good enough an answer for me.

Why is this flagged? Too political? Not technical? Off topic? Of course we can flag things, but I am not fan doing so silently.

It seems to be great at writing tests, spitting out UI code, and many other things where there are many examples around. Among other things I work on database optimizers and there Claude fails spectacularly. It produces wrong code, fails to

> Why do you then tell others how to live their lives? Is really leaving everyone to their own devices the good idea? Huh? Wait? Are you suggesting that by telling people to leave me alone I am infringing on their freedom to haggle me?

Great. The best, i.e. those who can easily find another job, are often those who often take these offers. There were so many options to improve efficiency with technology and then simply not refilling some of the jobs (apparently there&#x

Why do you people always presume they know what is best for other people? Don't like porn? Cool, don't buy it or avert your eyes! As if this would stop anybody from getting access to pornographic content.

Social media has become tribal media, where people form strong tribal structures and stay within those. IMHO that has caused the great division we are seeing in many places. Maybe "cult-media" is a better term even. Instead of com
