Another Chuck fan I see. I'm glad to see I'm not alone.

How is the support for mods and trainers like WeMod? I use them sometimes when I just don't want to grind.

Anyone move completely over to Linux for gaming? What is the experience like and what are you using?

Why is there no off button for AI? What if I just don't want it?

Your commitment to quality is skin deep.

I'm afraid I don't since I was too young back then, and never really watched Sienfeld, but man oh man, that sounds terrible.

Perhaps we've been living a lie this whole thing.

We have seen many stories like this. Some doubt the authenticity, but what is evident is that these things are happening again and again with impunity. Perhaps you don't think the situation is bad enough, or the details are exaggerated.

However, the fact that a man can be pulled of the street despite having legal status should be alarming. You don't need to care about the Irishman, but you should care about justice.

You know what? I bet if you got rid of stock buybacks, there'd be more consequences for making a shit product.

Pretty much all tech stock has 10xed over the past decade. However, the fact that this is being used to justify anything is a problem. The financialized economy has become so powerful that it can treat the real economy with impunity.

If there are no consequences to prioritizing shareholder value at the expense of product utility or ecosystem value, then we are going to get less value from the products that we purchase over time.

This is why the economy doesn't work anymore. We've been swimming in toxic waters for so long that we think it is completely normal to prioritize shareholder value at the expense of everything else; greed is good.

This is the same guy that forced XBOX to increase profit margins to 30% and therefore destroyed any hope that Xbox would be a legitimate choice for gamers going forward.

This is the same guy that shoved AI down the throats of millions of Windows users that forced me to just turn off Windows updates and add bazzite in dual boot.

I remember a long time ago I was talking to an executive that worked at a startup that was eventually acquired by Cisco. After the acquisition, the executive team got coaches to train them to be "inspirational" leaders. One thing that was common was adding a quote from say Marcus Arelius in the signature of their emails to make them sound wiser.

We need to stop this hero worship. Microsoft built a moat, and capitalized on it. They used their connections to block others from coming into the fray.

I don't care what their theory of success is, their definition is cancerous; a malignant one.

Amusing ourselves to death was such an eye opener for me when I was 19. After that I never took the news seriously.

It has been, but getting Apple to do it was dumb. They could've just used a government app that everyone has to use, and put the bugging in there.

This was never going anywhere and if the Indian government thought it could get away with effectively installing spyware, then they were just self indulgent.

I really just don't want this. I've been a Windows user for many years, and I'd be fine if everything still looked like Windows 10 with just security updates. I don't want more features. At all. Why can't they do what MacOS does? Add nothing new, and just change up the look every now and then?

True ownership of Software is only in Open Source. Unless you can change things yourself in that software, it isn't really ownership.

Black goo of doom?

Let's be honest, there isn't much of a difference between an iPhone 13 and 16. Why buy? I almost exclusively buy second hand these days.

Is there any book or article that expounds on this further?

This might be a dumb question to ask, but what exactly is this useful for? B-Roll for YouTube videos? I'm not sure why so much effort is being put into something like this when the applications are so limited.

It is refreshing to the leader of a country doing something insanely untoward, and then suffering the consequences for their actions.

"Office culture" has been used as an excuse for many bad decisions for a very long time.

GLiNet routers have that. So do the Asus ROG routers, but they don't have NAT acceleration.

My goodness, this guy's English is fantastic! He's also super charming :)

I guess they’re trying to live up to their name. ;)

I remember Andrey (the founder) leaving JetBrains to start this. I'm glad he stuck to it, and that it is slowly finding a space in developer discourse. I'm still not sure I totally understand MLOps yet, but then again I don't do a lot of ML workloads.

It’s GPT 3.5 though.

In the previous H-1B registration system, employers could submit multiple registrations for the same beneficiary (employee). This increased the chances of selection for that beneficiary but potentially reduced the fairness of the process. So, this makes things fairer to an extent.

I wonder if there is a way to run iOS applications on Android. I'd kill to be able to use the OneNote app on my Samsung galaxy tab S8. Samsung Notes are great, but not very portable.

After the first two sentences of this article, I felt seen. I don’t fit into any of my old suits either.
