At least on my pixel 7, they rolled out Gemini replacement but you could revert it to the classic assistant. It was slow, none of my normal commands worked, and it wouldn’t find anything I was looking for just “answer my question”. I asked it how to disable itself and it couldn’t answer that though. You can probably find documentation online if you use an actual search engine

With the local law, probably not. With the translating the concerns of open communities like the fediverse and FLOSS into legal terms, most definitely.

I meant that in the video it’s consistently not worked for a very long time. Seems the switch to HDMI left it behind. While it would be nice if devices supported it like he asked, the fact it was skipped in the HDMI standard and not mandated by law means it’s unlikely devices racing too the bottom line will ever care. And that’s basically what we see. Only the most expensive devices even acknowledge it’s an issue.

That said, I hope VLC devs see his video and improve things. I’m sure it’s more complicated then it seems but it would be cool for them to add that to the ways they’re better than every other player put there.

If someone wants to make me worth 100 million I wouldn’t complain. Can’t guarantee I’ll understand though.

After watching his video it feels like it was already left behind.

If you’re giving me the choice of killing the AI industry or artists it doesn’t seem like a hard decision. Am I missing something?

All you have to do is use powershell. maybe the worst shell ever created. Though some of these AI enabled shells have me second guessing that opinion.

And a lot of science libraries.

I mean, Fortran isn’t even dead. It was updated last year. Weird but it’s still a used language.

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.

Right?

Ha yeah “Sr dev” was never seen again, the team member stuck around for quite a few more years.

“I know what a lot of you are thinking” Yeah what about Firefox? “It’s impossible to make a new web engine” Um… No … Probably not that hard really with pretty decent standards these days. Performance JavaScript is probably pretty hard and a lot of the fancier protocols.

Seriously, what makes you better than Firefox?

Whatever, another choice isn’t bad I guess.

Once we had a “sr developer” join a project from a consulting group. The project wasn’t going well so me and another dev started helping with some tasks as well.

After a couple days of helping, trying to get his web application to work with data from an API he turns to us and says “oh, json is just a string.”

The other developer from our team stared at him for a few seconds, stood up, walked out of the room and told the project manager something along the lines of “if that guy ever comes back in the building I’ll quit”

So yeah, json is just a string… But if that’s the end of your knowledge you’re in for a bad day.

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 was actually 3gb because operating systems have to reserve parts of the memory address space for other things. It’s more difficult for all 32bit operating systems to address above 4gb just most implemented additional complexity much earlier because Linux runs on large servers and stuff. Windows actually had a way to switch over to support it in some versions too. Probably the NT kernels that where also running on servers.

A quick skim of the Wikipedia seems like a good starting point for understanding the old problem.

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