The competition is poor: Linux still has quite a lot to go in terms of distributing commercial software. Mac users are also probably more ready than Linux users to spend money on software.

Perhaps the actual question would be why Rust is being talked about so much in online forums. The answer is possibly active marketing that went viral and thus organic, although I assume the active part has gone down after Mozilla let many o

Whoa, I thought they are absolutely pointless. Are they even worse?

Was Russian interference to the western civilization such a cash cow for them that now that it's no longer a viable business, they're going down?

What does Google Workspace lack for a majority of companies?

Yep, and the logical conclusion would be to stop paying for O365.

Given their usual lie rates (5x-10x), this means that 30k-60k soldiers have been killed in Ukraine. This incidentally(?) perfectly matches up with calling up 30k-60k reservists.

Yes, although Crimea is not Russian territory.

by vegai_ 4y ago
Dunno why that would change things since Ukraine has already made counter-strikes into actual Russian territory (Belgorod). But then again, Putin lives in make-believe land and the target for these outbursts is probably the population of Ru

Not sure how people use X11 anymore. Every time I try it, it seems to be horribly broken in some small ways, whereas Wayland just works. Could be that my hardware is too new or weird.

Being able to replace the junk that's on every TV these days would be awesome. But unfortunately this is not that.

Mordor has advanced airborne interception radars so this would have effectively just handed the ring to Sauron.

Was it ever? To me it always seemed like a Java with the added burden of functional programming and more complicated OO.

You need three things usually: - virtual environment (python3 -m venv --help) - pip for manually installing things - poetry for declaratively installing things For a UX point of view, this is already pretty good and tends to work well. What

It's mostly some specialized features, like conferencing in Microsoft Teams. Clearly some pieces of web software are optimized only against webkit/chrome. But yeah, not many things outright refuse to work on Firefox these days.

by vegai_ 4y ago
Meh, just use Firefox for general browsing and Chrome/ium for the one or two things that only work on that.

Not a huge surprise. The EV business is growing rapidly and will keep growing, so it will receive huge resources for all kinds of R&D. Gasoline cars already feel very much like a 1900s technology, but the difference will get a lot steep

Yeah, it is as if they opened some sort of a sewer floodgate. My feed is a diarrhea of alt-right and communist propaganda right now, and everything in between. It was pretty bad before but now it's completely unusable.

That's a fascinating way to advertise a political video by a youtuber whose whole shtick is "anti-west". By an account that is 1 hour old.
