Oh that’s disappointing. Looking through the blog post now it specifies console apps now - wonder if Web API support is coming later.

Agreed, I feel like it was the missing piece from their .NET Anywhere story and am curious to see if it creates an uptick in adoption

I usually rely on word of mouth through people I know or follow on Discord, Twitter, Reddit, etc. I can't recall a time recently where I've sat down, opened up the App Store, browsed for something useful

Yes, they had a bit of momentum behind Windows Phone 7 and they threw it all away with the breaking change for Windows Phone 8. And that was it for that platform.

To be honest, a social network that remains relatively free of influencers and becomes effectively a nerd social circle (due to onboarding friction, lack of a global namespace, whatever) sounds…somewhat appealing to me after a decade and a

If you're on a Mastodon instance with someone spewing hate, either the admin of the instance bans them or you can move to an instance where that hate isn't tolerated. It's the benefit of the platform, and it's why Jack i

That's an intellectually dishonest argument. Everybody wants peace. Peace is a good thing. But what most people agree on is that you don't give an autocrat anything they want just for the promise of peace. Most people remember tha

I would love to go with a console as my main platform, I just always have the feeling that Sony is ripping me off with the cost of games and PS Plus. Do you find it evens out in the long run with the larger upfront cost of a gaming PC?

by sylens 4y ago
Yeah, I think the price by itself isn't a dealbreaker, it's all of the context. If I could hook this up to my PC and use it to play Half-Life Alyx, or scoop up a bunch of cheap PSVR1 games on Black Friday to catch up on, it would

Not only that, but sometimes even the threat of an outbreak can hamper the availability of childcare. Last winter, a few staff members were exposed to a close contact, so they held them out of work as a precaution - but that resulted in one

Perhaps people have had to expend more energy just keeping their personal life together in the last few years. People with children have had to deal with the constant school closings, childcare facility closings, etc. and that has taken its

For me, it's less about the function keys and more about separating Escape from the ~/` key. I tried a 65% board once and having to use a modifier key to access those symbols drove me nuts.

Remakes are also used to train development teams on new tools. It takes the pressure of a team learning to grapple with a new engine if all of the content is already completed - there's a better scaffolding to build off of.

Yes, this is actually a game that would be well served by a remake that makes it more accessible.

Apple's advantage in silicon will win the AR/VR war. Meta is out there talking about 1-2 hours of battery life for the Quest Pro. I'm very curious to see what performance Apple's headset/glasses/whatever provid

First, I'm not in Apple's corner by any means. Before I left this comment, I left another one on a different story critical of what they've been doing with macOS. But I've tried a lot of laptops over the pandemic and not

Article correctly calls out how they are ripping out perfectly good parts of macOS like System Preferences to replace them with an iOS-ified version. Instead of delivering features power users might want (proper window snapping/tiling!

Is it any wonder why Apple has been so successful with the iPhone, iPad, and their services? I can't stand the iron grip they have on the App Store, but on the other hand - traditional, wide open computing environments have become so h

Shouldn't there be an option to verify your employment at a company? If you list a company in your profile, you have to provide a company email and click a link to prove that you own that email address. You could tune this to prompt so

I love Obsidian because it puts everything in just a file that I can see live on my filesystem. Craft, Bear, Notion are all good tools, but I get uneasy knowing that so much of my knowledge base and documentation lives on their backend some

At some point though you start making it too hard for legitimate applications and services to make use of the original purpose of the service. IMDSv2 is really aiming to do two things: 1. Require a session to access credentials. You can onl
