They NEEED to pump the copilot usage numbers to appease shareholders. It doesn’t matter if all copilot uses are accidental and unwilling, cause it’ll look great in the next quaterly report

Just checked, and unfortunately no, Wayland is still in preview.

I think Flutter and Avalonia both tick all those boxes.

No, please tell the user. They’ve got their big boy pants on and can handle seeing one or two weird squiggles in the worst case, and might be able to actually diagnose and fix the issue themselves (without having to go through support) in the best case.

The last panel is infinitely more readable than parsing the whole chunk of logic above. Maybe you’re just not used to this language’s (I think this meme used C#) null operators.

Precision always degrades

It’s just… Why?

Was there a thought process applied here at all? Worse still is that many of these localised paths are actually lies. They still use the original developer version in order to not break compatibility with programs, but refuse to admit it in the explorer. It’s maddening.

My gripe: I hate when people make stupid Lemmy comments.

Look I made a funny!

(The point is to show that all gripes are not automatically jokes…)

Translation of developer utilities themselves is the final layer of hell. I’m not hearing anybody out about this kinda stuff - after microsoft decided to TRANSLATE THE EXCEPTION MESSAGES IN .NET WITH NO WAY TO BYPASS IT making them unclear, unusable and ungoogleable, I realized what a terrible idea it is to fragment developer knowledge by language.

Let’s just stick to a lingua franca, please.

Blud does not know what BitLocker is

Spez is going full Musk. It’s actually insane. Like… Holy shit.

I’m praying for Reddit’s downfall here, because if companies are able to get away with this shit the internet is going to get oh so much worse in the near future.

I’d disagree here. To me it seems like YouTube isn’t a monopoly because Google is being monopolistic with it (if you do have any examples of this, please show me) but rather because of the ridiculous scale and expense of such a project. The infrastructure to support something like YouTube at the scale of YouTube is insane, and I doubt many organisations or companies have the ability to even dream of it, not to mention the extreme network effect with something like YouTube. Google doesn’t have to be monopolistic (I’m sure they would be if there were viable competitors, sure, not saying that Google’s a saint) because it’s almost impossible to compete just in sheer complexity and cost.

It’s kind of like how the entire semiconductor industry is dependent on lithography machines from one company: ASML. But that’s not because they’re being anti-competetive, it’s because their products are insanely, extremely complex, precise and advanced. Decades upon decades and billions and billions of RnD.

Lol yeah. 100% profit would mean literally no operating expenses.

The point of a 100 dollar merch hoodie isn’t that you get a 100 dollars worth of hoodie. It’s that you support the artist. A less expensive hoodie means less for the artists. That’s kinda the point of merch…

Largely this is probably true. One large benefit for the consumer with streaming music over buying it is actually that it is cheaper. Significantly cheaper if you listen to a bunch of different things. So if everyone has moved to a method of listening to music that costs less then there has to be less money available to artists (all else being equal).

Even if 100% of streaming services’ revenue went to artists it could still be less money.

The problem isn’t Spotify itself, it’s the business model of streaming being way too cheap.

Ah yes all those millionaire artists. Poor rich artists. Everyone knows all artists are rich. Right?

Did you… read the comment? It wasn’t about the streaming platform owners.

Just listen to the radio then instead of complaining here?

For when you want to sleep in sub zero temps!

Clock speed isn’t improving that quickly anymore. Other aspects, such as more optimized power consumption, memory speeds, cache sized, less cycle-demanding operations, more cores have been improving faster instead.
