Ugly, but not uncommon. A company will often try and avoid letting a candidate know that they are being considered for firing, or that the decision has already been made, until the trigger is pulled.

I have not tested it myself, but I hear that the latest release can run Firefox 52, whereas the previous one would, at most, run Firefox 48.

Excellent. Now we can quickly re-rustify projects by converting them to C.

ReactOS is not dead though. They just made a release. And it has the 2000-era UI and the modern app support. It's just dragging on other things, such as SMP and 64bit. But development focus seems to actually be focused on precisely the

That's just how it is for a lay off, in megacorp and elsewhere. Not sure how this is HN-worthy.

Unrealistic, yet amusing. Fortunately, they aren't betting everything on this approach.

Or get some neutral headphones like Sennheiser HD600 and do away with EQ.

If it's a PC, you can just do it at the wires. Much easier than software.

Good. Let's hope it doesn't quickly die out, and it holds over time. Tired of the ever-bloating yet popular TKs.

A variety of laptop models of many makes, using high-performance RISC-V SoC from a range of vendors. Not that many years away. A proper open platform is the worthy successor of the current IBM PC accidental platform. Not some single vendor

Requiring another person is a major issue. I wonder if a plushie can act as substitute. Keep it on the corner of the desk when on task. Maybe have different plushies for different tasks.

Website overrides browser scroll behavior, forcing laggy (i.e. animated) scroll. As such, it's extremely irritating. Archive version[0] does not have such problem. 0. https://archive.is/r5SZc

Ascalon "silicon" (aka chips) is instead brought up in the "next 12 month" section. i.e. We'll see Ascalon soon, just not yet.

That's just sad news, a reminder that AmigaOS still isn't Open Source, and that the ownership drama[0] isn't settled. 0. https://sites.google.com/site/amigadocuments/

Grep for "alleged". Not convicted of, but alleged. They are simply digging into DOGE employees and throwing as much shit as they can, in the hopes that something sticks.

I would suggest a few hours of open source work on Amiga stuff as penance :^)

Headscale has been serving me well for half a year now. It is great, to the point I have no idea how I lived without a tailscale network before. It is packaged in openbsd, and that package is the server I am using.
