Ah yes, the ol’ “promoted to the level of their incompetence”. SOP. Or SNAFU, take your pick.

It’s a topsy-turvy world.
I’d guess that the down votes weren’t because it wasn’t true, but rather simply that the fact made them unhappy. Not the best use of down votes, but understandable.
Which has its own downside, that being the up-front cost.
I came here to say this. I don’t really do networking so I don’t have much care for this issue, but the clarity of the explanation was enjoyable. Plus I learned a couple of little things too.
I don’t know, maybe it is like Midas. The things he touches turn into something coveted, and therefore valuable, but also of little to no practical use, just like gold.
Yeah; seeing this pop up on my feed so close to another story about the increasing concentration of wealth to landlords in Canada made me both chuckle and then sigh.
Apple making robots, what could go wrong? (Looks up phone number for Tom Selleck)
Classic Scylla and Charybdis. Good luck on your odyssey.
The people that have problems with Windows and have to ask for help, shouldn’t be using Linux because it’ll confuse the poor souls even further.
My mother got so fed up with her windows problems that she asked me to put Linux on her computer. While she still had problems after that, she found them manageable and was happy with it ever since.
The people that know exactly how to configure and use Windows with zero problems have no need to use Linux
Nobody has zero problems with either os. The difference is whether you want to deal with problems that are just technical, or due to incompetence and profit motive.
Huh, hadn’t seen that bit before, thanks for that. Ok, well that is disappointing. I did notice this bit in there too though:
What about security benefits? Even though most of the security-relevant code for Vivaldi browser is in Chromium, there is also some security-relevant code in the UI. If you think that specific security-relevant parts of the UI should be open-sourced to make Vivaldi more trustworthy, let us know, and we’ll consider putting it out as part of our code bundles, so you can check it for yourselves.
It not much consolation, but it’s better than nothing. As it stands though, FF still has too many problems for me. I’ll have to see how this ad blocking thing shakes out though, might have to revisit my decision then.
It is source-available though, so that’s a plus.
BALWAR - Thus Sunday at the convention center!
And therein lies the difference between engineers and business people. And look which ones are usually in charge.
Yes, that’s the one! Boy, it’s been a long time.
Didn’t know about this feature, thanks!
That just reminded me of something I tried that was similar, I think it was called Visual Chat? It looked like a 2D cartoon, but each person controlled an avatar and could move around and talk to each other, go to other rooms, change expression, gesture, etc.
Microsoft bought whatever that was and completely ruined it, just like they ruin everything else they buy.
It’s like the Midas touch: they make it shiny, expensive, and of little use.
First time in a long time I’ve seen “literally” used right. Have an upvote.
This looks like an interesting project. Thanks!
They have a series on Gates too.
The answer to OPs question is that these people they admired were just as bad, just better at PR. Unless you think that social media has had some kind of positive effect in outing these newer bastards. Being young and naive may also have been a factor (which I can personally attest to since I was a fan of MS back in the 90s before I learned about them).
