Windows users just randomly lost free access to Docker desktop too. Enjoy that!

Windows is slow af compared to Linux on the same hardware when I’m doing anything with Docker or Node.js/npm/yarn. The cli is incompatible with bash. I also can’t disable telemetry and other things I don’t want. It’s also missing

Chrome is and always has been a native desktop application. Putting the word desktop in quotes doesn’t change that. I thought the satire was the suggestion that standard web apps can replace a desktop apps.

Sure, everyone wants to be old on the Internet. I hear these twenty somethings constantly claiming that they’re in their sixties cuz it’s cool. /s No, to tolerate something you need to have some measure of control over it in the first

Yeah I've only been programming since around 1981. Sorry to burst your bubble, but you're not the only old timer around here. "Whatever that is supposed to mean", but you've still been seeing it? That makes no sense

Pffft. Okay. That's quite a reach you've got there! ...as if any of those were ever near the same caliber as Electron in just about any aspect of user or developer needs. > Eventually Electron will join them. Perhaps it will, e

Personally I would want freedom to just put whatever URL I want, as my search engine. Every popular desktop browser has this feature and I don't see why it could not exist on the iPhone. I bet Apple would claim that it's "tak

> Apple doesn't prevent anyone from using another search engine as a default. In Safari on iOS, where this deal is relevant, they do. There is no choice for using Yandex or StartPage among many others. There are just 5 choices.

Now it's too late for a trade war with China. We already gave them all of the ammo over the past 60 years. Our systems are going to collapse before long and China will be ready to take the reigns.

There are plenty of Tim Cooks around. THE Tim Cook is only in his position because of luck. Lucky to be born white white, in America and lucky in timing and connections.

What happens then is that the new Linux user soon needs a newer version of some package and they have to add a third party repo to their stable system and after having done this a few times, soon an update from one of them will cause the in

Microsoft understands the value of being able to develop once and run everywhere. That's why both Java and the web almost upended their business. It's not just a monetary/time/effort value to Microsoft or other developer

This is exactly what I complained about in past threads and nearly nobody agreed with me there. Seems like the tide has changed! This is my only complaint. I don't care what you do on your own cloud, don't try and force my device

Can you not access the tweets being discussed here?

Why did you have to quote their entire comment for this response?

OK thanks. I thought the major concern was the number of people getting it not the number of severe cases... I'm not really sure why it is this way. I would think lessening the spread of it would be the highest priority.

From my own experience, I see that vaccinated people are less fearful of mixing with large groups of people. That's one way the vaccinated can be more easily infected. It's not a physiological effect but I think it's probably

Nobody here is talking about things that Apple and Google got busted for already. Everything that we're getting today is new.

Long press the timestamp link on the first post and open in a new tab. At least that's what worked for me on iOS.

Do you have to pay Apple yearly and obey Apples rules in order to get an enterprise license? Yes you do. It's $299/year and you have to be a company of a certain size and you need a D & B number. It's the same deal that e

You can't even read a thread on Twitter without working around their constant badgering for you to sign up. The web interface is absolutely horrendous on desktop and on my phone.

That's why Apple revoked Facebook's license to do so. Yes, you can get an enterprise license but Apple can take it away from you at any moment. Apple also makes it very difficult for small businesses to get one in the first place.

Brilliant double entendre title! I'm sure it's not the first time this has been used but it's the first time I've seen it. (in case it gets changed, it's: "Apple’s biggest problem is only getting bigger")

I'm pretty sure that many corporations would love to distribute private apps to their own company iPhones. Instead, everybody has to ask Apple to please pretty please let some software run on devices that they own.

I've found n [0] by TJ Holowaychuk to be vastly simpler and easier to deal with than nvm because n just swaps out binaries instead of using shell tricks and indirection. [0] https://github.com/tj/n
