Also most of them are willing to sell themselves out for $200 in a moment

"Wired: The desktop is dead". I laughed out loud. For real. Not doing too often...

I see no one recommends opera. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with it?

I would not be surprised if this wasn't the goal of design in the first place

"Yes, power users complain—and still continue using the site" I wonder what would happen after you removed old.reddit.com and api access for reddit apps. For icing on the cake, use creative class names to f*ck with RES and ad blockers. My guess, if you do all of this, reddit's gonna crash on the ground pretty quickly.

1) The ethicality of something is not sourced from nature. If this would be the case, then raping would be completely okay as animals doing something like that too, right? It's more coming from empathy, like we don't let people beating or killing each others as you don't want that happened to you as well.

2) In reality this is more like a demand issue. I eat meat because I like it even if I see it as somewhat unethical. Your personal decision does not really count, but the society's overall understanding of the issue. It's like your vote vs election results, your vote counts, but you are not gonna change the world single-handedly.

Personally I think the real solution will be growing meat artificially, only muscles without the rest of the animal.

I double-checked this, you are right, I thought they completely moved to the adobe model, but they are just trying to represent themselves as they did, still you can stop paying and keep using the software you bought

That's not really enough. Any kind of credibility system can be hacked. You should ask two images, mandatory, and one of them should be 'my product', like a some kind of an actual clue, that the reviewer purchased it at least. If you add some basic checking, like a reverse image search on your own db and in the internet to vet out low effort tries, this would be the minimum to prevent hijacking the system.

I had somewhat similar idea for a site like this, but only for negative reviews. This kind of a site stops the incentive of forging fake review, like who wants to forge a bad one, but this still has to be protected from defamation attempts. That's why I was thinking of making the post somewhat complicated, but not impossible to make the system enough hard to protect it low efforts, which is at least 90% of the attempts, and the rest would be up for a moderation team. The credibility system could work only over protection

The IntelliJ story ends when they ask $300 a year, with no other option.

Calling apple to be a social justice warrior is the most ironic thing I heard for a while. We are speaking about the company who actively encourages developers to go to subscription model no matter what the app does, the company, which does everything in order to make businesses unable to fix their devices, so stop their give competition for their outrageous repair prices and methods, the one who do everything to monopolize cash transfer for their sweet 30% cut for literally everything, the one who is using exactly the some components for a new model of a laptop, while they already have internal documentation about said component to be often failing in a short time. So LOL

You buy a shoe: $50, you buy a shoe exactly the same quality, but it's a nike: $120. Cloud is exactly the same kind of product than anything else

I use TFS for source control, but still also use Leif Points (like scheduled backup of the project every day to a local storage) in case of something messed up by the server. So don't underestimate the old guy :)

I can't really believe this version of the story. Maybe it started like this, like P scammed the entire company, but a certain point the management had to discover the fraud, and they decided to go with it hence this went to the point when the government had to interfere. If we really want to force idea that this simply went over the CEO's head, than he was extremely incompetent, like looking and the screen, and believing what he saw on the screen, and i see this level negligence the same as doing this intentionally.

-how to be an educated consumer -how to buy/sell house/car, other basic contracts and understanding them (nda, work contract, t&c) -sexual education without any moral bs, just facts -how to recognizing symptoms of common diseases -basic civics and legal training -read a book, see a painting, tell me your opinion about it, instead learn what scolars think

While the business software and development side seems to go to the right direction, the consumer product side is basically series of incompetent and/or anti-customer decision/catastrophes. IMO You were right about Satya, all the positive things happening, because there is someone who can hold against him. (because if he would be the origin of the positive changes, than everything would be improving)

I would subscribe to a blog you write about the people (with names, photos) behind every single business fuckup, especially if it is a decision made because of greed.

Please stop promoting brave either you do it in good faith or paid or you are a shill. everything with "Acceptable ads program" is a cancer

Exactly. And this idea started to cracking, which is the major reason for their problems, not cheap alternatives.

Microsoft did not grow big, because millions of home users decided to buy DOS/Windows as they considered the best choice. Microsoft purchased DOS, which was bundled for every single IBM PC. This gave the foundation for the company to be able to improve their software family giving them a stable income even if every single DOS alternative was superior to their system. IBM was not able to prevent the creation of the PC compatibles which was a really strong advantage for MS as DOS became their default go to OS. Cheap computers created a really big market for the platform so developing to MS products became a good idea. However the businesses were the ones who choose to buy Microsoft products, and not because of the OS, but their office software products, which worked, of course, primarily in their OS. Most of the home users just get it bundled with their hardware purchase, others for home use just pirated it (especially out of US). Their focus were the software they use, did not really care about the OS. And that's how piracy helped MS, children playing with computer games arrived in the work market with familiarity with MS products, which kept the companies using and buying those products.

Every time when I see Google is advancing into this bs, i donate some money to mozilla foundation to counterbalance.

while every word you wrote is probably right, the point here is spotlighting of the latest (or not so, it's been going for while) trend that how big corporations try to take as much control as they can, only for the solely purpose of extorting as much money as they can.

please dont give money to apple. it gives them the illusion of being a good company.

instead: https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/ (i know it's not ready, but it's coming) or https://lineageos.org/

what's wrong with apple and their understanding of reality? every single time they trying to do something, they claim they are the first who are doing it, when they literally did not do anything ever the first time. or maybe they don't understand the word 'first'?

when you subscribe to cable tv, you pay for content and delivery, so i think it is far to compare the price of streaming service including the price of internet

I'm too lazy to click the link, please explain what is happening if I clicked them

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD joke of the month. thank you

Stupid title, good title 'Please stop using adblock PLUS'. I just gave $10 for the creators of adblock (not plus) and ublock origin

Most people forgets IT is the same as any other industry with marketing plots, promotions pretending to be articles, etc. Before AI/ML and big data, we had cloud (which is basically a server), web2.0 (it does not even make any kind of sense technologically), ajax (how was that a new thing in any way?) or really long time ago NETWORK COMPUTER (this one kinda hilarious, oracle tried to sell dumb terminals as future - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Computer, and nowadays Google tried the same thing with chromebook). I feel it's the same thing as in every 5 years, healthy food is different. Do you remember those days when fat was deadly poison?
