FWIW, I care a lot more about Indesign and Premiere Pro (and I'd need the hardware acceleration to work for the latter): I barely ever use Photoshop (though I do use Lightroom Classic and, every now and again, Illustrator). But like, h

Nor the other myriad of logic and parsing bugs that led to incorrect behavior (more than just denial of service) in the Java library that was somehow not as good as Rust :/.

Yeah... I have only found a single negative comment about the quality--"As realistic as my blurry dream."--and it comes across as more of a cynical joke than a true negative review.

Frankly, it is really annoying when developers working at one of the large closed-source platform oligopolists blame their users for trying to work around the deficiencies (or even outright hostile "business model" optimizations)

You wouldn't (and don't) use this kind of mechanism at the file-level on an entire SQLite database: just because someone suggests something be an OS feature doesn't mean that existing software would work without changes.

Why do you want the music to sound like it is coming from your phone while you are on a bus? FWIW, my phone, when I am on a bus, is in some random location as I move it between hands, put it in my pocket or attempt to prop it on a ledge, an

I also find it really annoying as it keeps wanting to push me into a mode where it is doing "head tracking" with "spatial audio" based on the location of my phone, as if the location of my phone has any meaning at all to

The person you are responding to is trying to obtain a 100% success rate on filtering, and explicitly discusses the Facebook model as insufficient as the people you follow might suddenly become porn (due to their account being hacked).

I mean, when was the last time you saw Google bother to continue running a service that was merely "profitable" and failed to achieve even a paltry billion users? This daycare was doomed to be shut down before it even got started.
