Ahh one time I was debugging an issue that only happened if the user had cracked version of Windows 7. Fun.

In Sumer/Akkadia/Babylonia/Mesopotamia (sorry, I always confuse them with each other) we have oldest writings ever and oldest songs ever, simply because they used burned clay to write stuff and that survives the longest. Oth

The biggest error is to assume people want to pay with cryptocurrency. They just want to speculate on it; first buy, then sell. Nobody actually pays with cryptocurrency. edit: ahh it’s in the actual article. Never mind.

Only marginally related, but I am now thinking of what Embracer Group wrote when they bought Lord of the Rings rights last week. “I am truly excited to have The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, one of the world’s most epic fantasy franchis

You pay for robots and stolen accounts, you got money per listens. Spotify doesn’t really get your money at any point. The bots don’t need to be Spotify Premium.

Ugh. For me, mailto link will open… some old forgotten mail application, that will start downloading… 5000 e-mails from my gmail account? or something? and mark them as read? maybe? I don’t really know, honestly. I always copy-paste mailto

That’s anarchocapitalist response. Ancaps and anarchists have very little to do with each other, actually. edit: to make it clear, I don’t want to “safeguard” the word anarchism, I don’t really care, I’m not part of that movement. But the a

This. People just are not building, crafting and using desktop apps specifically for Mac anymore. That ship has sailed. They either use their own frameworks and build on all 3 platforms, or use Electron. On a lot of daily things people use

I write it as someone who does not follow this space… …does “letting community down” matters? The phones and the open source seems to be open, can’t you just… put your own OS on there or whatever?

Vietnam is not that poor. Vietnam is MUCH richer than its direct neighbours, Laos and Cambodia. Thailand is richer though. The actual thing is not really poor population, but how easy is to build new factory there. Vietnam has the best thin

However they still actually make the products there. Last time I look, Apple was hiring a lot of HW engineers in Saigon. (Still no SW engineers, though :)) Also, Foxconn is a Taiwanese company, not Chinese. (Setting aside the issue of &quot

Yeah but as a consequence, games (closed source games, which means basically all of them) don’t even bother targeting Linux.

I have read these quotes from Alan Moore online, but then, the actual text of the book is different. Rorschach is clearly portrayed as a hero, despite his issues and his crazy-right views. He is the one that stays to his morals and is marty

And now imagine it’s all in a Helm chart. And using kustomize magic So you start debugging the helm chart, and kustomize, and the operator. Not fun.

Yeah of course. The alternative to marrying is living a celibate life, which is seen in Catholic Church as preferable to marriage. Having sex outside of marriage (and, for pleasure only) is of course wrong. As is using contraceptives; as th

On one hand, I hate Uber/Grab sham financials. And how it pretends it’s “car sharing” and not just regular taxi. (Also the Grab/Uber deal was explicitly illegal and was even ruled illegal in Singapore. Note that Grab and Uber are

Honestly it makes way more sense now than it used to. They have the enterprise GSuite brands that are actually kind of successful there - Google Chat and Google Meet - and they try to merge everything under those umber. And they gave up on

For me it was when I saw a taxi app on smartphone (it was not Uber, but… some clone? Predecessor? Even official taxi app? I don’t remember at this point). I can see where the taxi is now? I can see where he will go so he doesn’t cheat me? I
