The same idiots who bring a toddler to the art museum. I can keep myself together when I follow my girlfriend 3 hours walking at the slowest possible pace through a boring ass exhibition; the toddlers, not so much.
But maybe it was an employee and the screams of the child enhance my art experience somehow.
apple is scummy just like the other big tech companies but it’s one of the least scummy out there, especially wrt open source.
Maybe with regard to open source, because that benefits them as a company - let others fix their bugs for free. But definitely not with regard to free software.
That is why I self-host https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped ; it is a bit of work to setup, especially because you need a SSL certificate. But man that thing is fast.
But you can also just play the video in mpv.
The FreeBSD desktop exists, it is called “Mac OS”.
Linus Torvalds used the GPL for his kernel, forcing companies to release the source code if they improve it and distribute it. The main userland was a lot of GPL licensed GNU software for a very long time, with a similar effect.
The BSD folks, on the other hand, decided to give everything away, by using much more “liberal” licenses. Apple took the BSD base, bolted their UI on top of it and gave almost nothing back. That would not have happened if BSD was GPL licensed.
Thank you for providing that link.
I think I know about kotaku for 15 years now, but I can’t remember any instance where they published an article that was worth reading. It is another instance of wasted resources that can only exist because not enough people are using adblock.
I could never get into Outer Wilds; had no clue what to do and the space controls are really wonky.
Has AI really atrophied their tech skills that much?
These people never had any skill to begin with. They only have a codebase now because of AI.
Do you bully people for their phone use IRL? Does anyone take you seriously? I bet not.
It sounds more like that this is something you do. You write whole paragraphs defending your “iphone choice”.
I’d rather have a phone by a computer company than an advertising company.
There are other companies than Google and Apple who sell smartphones, e.g. FairPhone.
lol what are you talking about? I am not “mad” about anything. I just think it is ridiculous to pay money to block ads, when there are tons of free ad blockers available.
How is he misinformed when he does not have problems? I had NVIDIA cards for more than 15 years, never an issue with the linux drivers. Then I got an AMD and the driver occasionally crashes, bringing the whole desktop down.
Also, custom firmware like GrapheneOS can stop supporting your device at any time. They’re under no obligation to support your phone.
Apple is under no obligation to support your phone.
There’s no better way to say you made poor choices and are unhappy about that than to shame people for using a different product than you do.
It’s more like being astounished that someone would choose an option that is clearly inferior when a better alternative exists. Like choosing reddit over lemmy.
Imagine paying money to block ads.
I went to an university in Europe. None of the companies you listed set up anything here.
How can you post when you were banned?
tldr: LLMs are Dunning-Kruger detectors / Reverse Turing Tests on people, and a whole lot of people are significantly more stupid than I guess we otherwise previously realized.
That is the absolute best way to put it.
Who the fuck writes “instagram” into the google search? You can’t remember that it’s “instagram.com”?
Your comparison of Linux fanboyism and veganism is on-point (I am a Linux user since 2001). However, regarding “converting” them - this picture is a joke, not really to be taken seriously.
I see that you are an expert in literature and a connoisseur when it comes to these things.
Why do you pipe stderr of du into /dev/null?
