Probably yes. Depending on your requirements (e.g. if cloud, spying, etc is all fine), it can indeed make sense. Windows has its strengths. But what I suspect: A much bigger cohort is people saying "I'm not forced, I just explicit

You tried (and failed) to install Arch many many times, based on YT, and you have not even considered that there might be some kinds of helpful resources directly from Arch outside of YT. Sorry to say that, and even more sorry that you&#x27

Yes, another thing that often happens in those discussions: Someone cites Socrates with very similar complaints. To me this is not a contradiction. E.g. maybe the Socrates era has seen it going downhill as we do today, and between there wer

I'm not clever, no. A few of my friends are, but I never was. I would call myself a skilled software developer, yes. And other, more skilled ones, would maybe disagree. :) But all that says nothing about real life cleverness. I can cle

Very often when I discuss it, someone argues along the lines of "yes, it looks different, and maybe even weird at first glance, but everything is indeed fine, and look how access to all that content even makes them more competent than

We are probably more or less the same age. And yes, they said it about us as well. And they were right. It's a slow downward trend. And it's still continuing. Do you also see these young mothers on the streets which would just ram

Reading and actually understanding non-trivial text is hard if you are part of a generation that was never challenged to actually learn it. For those people, YouTube (and a few similar shops) are the default way to consume any content. That

Cooool! Thx! I recently searched precisely for that, but was unable to find anything.

At first glance, the Redmond philosophy looks better to me here. I know that they made a lot of marketing around it (files vs APIs). And parts of that is just marketing bs, but there is some truth imho. What is all the string overhead reall

by pino82 2y ago
PS: Yes, I know, if it would be a web api, I'd need to do play the same games with strings there. But there it's at least obvious why it is needed (and it would also be less tedious in a modern scripting language, compared to deal

I just read the first few lines so far. They play around a lot with strings, compared to the fact that it's not about word processing but power management. I'm not a developer on this system level of things. When you usually try t

Not everybody will like it (and nobody needs to use it), but: systemd timers do very similar things, are well integrated into the systemd ecosystem, have a nice syntax, allow all nice systemd features, and are quite nice imho.

The 'cloud' always was - at its core - a mechanism to take your sovereignty away. Like the social media or IM walled gardens that you like. And like a lot of things that came up in the last ~15 years. Subscription models as well..

I'm always surprised why I constantly see messages downvoted (not only here), just because they feel unconvenient for the bubble?! Imho you should all stop that. It's too simple. It doesn't really increase credibility. Why no

I'm still dreaming about days when I can just write my website against the standarda and test it with my browser and then be happy if it works, because it will of course work in all other browsers too. And now there is a tool where you

Same here. It's not that I wouldn't have the time. It's about principles. Some exceptions aside, text is just the better medium for actual content (not so much for the big show, though). Put some images or clips into the text

If it's just about keeping a link to a handful of content creators, and you aren't a multiple-hours-per-day yt addict, there is already a nice solution for that, which universally works for all web resources and is well supported

Exactly that. But surprisingly, although I'd consider it as a trivial insight, we're living in a world that just doesn't want to understand that. And while YT is a lot about casual nonsense, there are other big tech walled ga

Yes, it has nothing to do with privacy. The opposite is maybe true in that case (i.e. google can probably see my usage of sponsorblock in the access logs, which makes it simpler for them to identify me). But I do use it. I don't watch

Not only slower, right? I mean, for UIs, there is the same race to the bottom going on as in other parts of the industry. It needs to be a big show, and everybody must be able to directly understand it without any learning curve or even rtf

I cannot remember a moment when Konqueror felt good enough for me as a daily driver, but it was impressive anyways. From a community perspective, it would have been a great thing to push it forward further, spend resources on it, and have a

Maybe it always was. But smartphones and social media definitely pushed it a lot. You can even see it here, whenever people get downvoted just for posting something that is too uncomfortable (e.g. bcs it's criticism that touches their

I wanted to learn some details about that story (I heard about it back then, but never digged deeper). Your link seems to lead to some kind of shady video clip portal. Was that intended? If so, is there a textual version as well? Video clip

Their business is completely independent from a funny guy who writes some iPhone app. They haven't lost anything in that story. If they need a new iPhone app, I'm sure they will find developers for that. > Btw, he had a contrac

I'd say, given the numbers it doesn't make sense for Yelp to bother. Just stop it and send the kids an email.

Well, don't read the comment that you reply on. ;) The only interesting part of the story is to what extent others actually learn sth from it (that lesson should be trivial, but nowadays it obviously is all but common sense). And I gue
