Read the headline and thought “there’s a catch…”

Finally got around to reading the post and Microsoft is very politely saying “we’ve completed stealing their shit now. Don’t know why anyone would want it, use ours now. You can have it though.”

Thanks I guess? I’m glad it’s out of their hands now and with an open source group that cares and can make a difference.

You think it’ll take that long? Seems optimistic.

Being as this is very similar to the apple epic legal fight that epic lost earlier this year, I doubt apple will make a deal. My understanding is that patreon can cave, choose to pay 27% commission, or make their own store.

Though skimming the news around epic’s attempts to make a store, you “can” make a store in compliance with EU and UK laws, but apple made it kinda impossible to actually do and epic is fighting it in court again?

So patreon seems to have read the lay of things and said I guess we just have to make the best of a shitty situation and communicate everything to try to limit the pain.

It’s almost like apple feels like they have the power to do whatever they want because they’ve created a market where they don’t have competition…

Surprised consultants are pushing the latest fad? No it’s what businesses want to hear.

Concerned they’re pushing the bubble? No more than the rest of it.

Worried a machine will be lying to me about timelines instead of a person? That’s innovation for you I guess.

Don’t think half the comments understand what the Chromecast is…

Interested in finding out more about fcast now though.

It’s actually even simpler. The whole building has wired feeds of the floor. So you can work from your office in the building or nearby, watch everything, and only come to the floor to vote.

People that lived through getting kicked off XP are like “w11 interface is fine. I’ve been through worse”

Using my decades of experience in how programming and compilers works and the fact Mozilla has used it to great effect and how it is being used for parts of the Linux kernel… Yeah just a general statement it doesn’t make any sense.

Maybe they aren’t effective at designing software with the paradigms of the language or they don’t like it but the given explanation doesn’t track.

The web being too object oriented for rust? Assuming that made sense, who wrote the dang language? If that’s true I’m even less confident they know what they’re doing then I was before.

I see, We really should check if they see themselves as agender or nonbinary then.

Should I point out the irony of this complaint being posted on a site with ads every other sentence and doesn’t even show what the windows ads looks like?

It’s a valid complaint and all I just laughed as I scrolled past all the blank “ad here” blocks to read the article.

I really appreciate this change. Prior to it was always a struggle to deploy servers successfully. You’d reboot and your database would be on the wrong interface and you could even remote in because the management interface was suddenly on a firewalled external only network. Ask me how I know.

With virtualization and containers this just got more complicated. I would constantly have to rewrite kvm entire configs because I’d drop a new nic in the machine. A nightmare.

Sure, it’s gibberish for the desktop user but you can just use the UI and ignore the internal name. Not even sure the last time I saw it on my laptop. So no big deal.

It is. Until recently it actually still used the domain to serve assets.

Looks at gdpr Looks at new law Looks at gdpr Looks at security questionnaires from EU companies Looks at new law

Well past time to take up farming.

So we can explicitly graffiti videos but we can’t add translations. 🤯

When the first person opens their new laptop:

“RISC architecture is going to change everything”

Buy a ticket to mars. Problem solved.

As a pedestrian in one of the mentioned cities, this is accurate. We have an ok bus network but the schedules are terrible and getting around on foot is dangerous and it’s like 100 degrees out with 90% humidity. Very few people put up with it and literally no one will because of this.

I’ve seen a lot of contractors over promising timelines too. “No matter how hard you push and no matter what the priority, you can’t increase the speed of light.”

But yeah exactly.

No it’s a set of tools you can use to run a project.

My point is that a lot of people use “agile” to mean not planning or don’t put guard rails on scope and they fail. That’s not agile, it’s just bad PM
