In comparison with Windows and iOS, Mac OS is a paradigm of respecting the user. Of course that’s only because the bar is firmly embedded on Earth’s inner core.

jmcs ,

And a shortcut to open Microsoft® LinkedIn® at OS level, and what surprises me the most is that uses your default browser instead of always opening it in Edge.

Do you understand what “comparing” means?

It’s not the first time it happens. Everyone has reporters writing and updating old celebrities’ obituaries on their down time because then they can publish a more complete and higher quality article when the inevitable happens. The problem is when someone fires the pre-written obituary because of some rumour or bad source and then everyone else does the same because no one wants to be the last one to report the news.

Putin demands more Ukrainian land to end war; Kyiv rejects 'ultimatum' (www.msn.com)

MOSCOW (Reuters) -President Vladimir Putin said on Friday Russia would end the war in Ukraine only if Kyiv agreed to drop its NATO ambitions and hand over the entirety of four provinces claimed by Moscow, demands Kyiv swiftly rejected as tantamount to surrender....

Let’s ask the Czechs what they think about the idea that giving away part of your territories to an aggressive imperialistic power is a road to peace and independence.

In my experience Software Engineers working in ML are, for the most part, also drinking their own Cool Aid, and need pushback from the rest of the company to keep them in check. So management also needs to know which smart people to listen to.

So, if any of your local religious leaders is a pedophile you lose your right to self determination? That will massively reduce the number of sovereign countries. To 0.

So, you are telling me that in your enlightened opinion imperialism is a great thing and decolonization was wrong? That’s a take…

jmcs ,

And does it deserve to be colonized? Because you are basically justifing imperial colonization.

Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Addresses Studio Closures (www.ign.com)

“The closure of any team is hard obviously on the individuals there, hard on the team,” Spencer said. "I haven’t been talking publicly about this, because right now is the time for us to focus on the team and the individuals. It’s obviously a decision that’s very hard on them, and I want to make sure through severance...

Some of them were still doing fine, just not triple the profits well.

And they forgot the entire perfidy war crime: timesofisrael.com/…/report-special-forces-posed-a…

jmcs ,

The “beautiful” thing about perfidy is that it’s a particularly well defined war crime and it’s relatively easy to prove in the era of cameras everywhere.

The problem is that recall means using Windows is not a problem for Windows users anymore, it’s a problem for everyone that needs to communicate with Windows users.

That is the most… American thing I read in months. Workers complaining about half decent work conditions. As a European, being harder to get hired than to get fired was always a given to me, and I believe that’s a good thing.

In Nvidia’s case that’s actually true for long tenured employees - assuming they cash out before the bubble bursts.

Greece had denied it being shot down and both Mirage pilots reported that the Turkish F-16 caught fire at random and only saw one parachute

[Insert Rich Tech bro] is actually a nazi? I’m shocked. Shocked. Absolutely dumbfounded. /s

It would be more newsworthy to find any tech plutocrat that doesn’t have a far-right view of the world. But I would expect them to find a flying unicorn first.

Loyalism, sure… We all know what’s the only reason to use Bing.

I read it more as not who was affected but what was affected. So something like “thanks Zeus we only lost people’s home addresses and passwords so the worst that can happen is someone getting murdered, it could have been credit card numbers and then the banks would demand things that cost money”.

Oh boy. Some consultants are probably really happy now.

SpoilerThe “Look into my eyes and tell me if you see even the slightest glimmer of doubt” scene alone would ensure that.

If he’s using it to defend what Israel is doing, yes. Even he says that what the US made were mistakes and it’s trying to learn from them.

Also there was no actual plan, so the Taliban won in Afghanistan and occupy even parts of the country they didn’t have before, and in Iraq it led to the creation of the Islamic State. And Israel itself already has a history of radicalizing Palestinians with their disproportionate responses to Hamas.

Louisiana chemical plant threatens to shut down if EPA emissions deadline isn't relaxed (apnews.com)

Yes, the entire thing was him justifying why he doesn’t want seminaries to accept gay men, and how “people with those tendencies” fall into temptation.

jmcs , (edited )

How would you translate it? Especially in the context of speaking about gay people being allowed in certain jobs while saying that it’s almost impossible for boys with “that tendency” to not fall into temptation?

I checked Italian websites defending the Pope and their best defense is that the Pope, not being a native Italian speaker, doesn’t understand how offensive the word is, but that still leaves the homophobic intention.

Probably because PPAs only work on Ubuntu and there are more Linux distros and even then it meant having to build and test a package for a couple of different Ubuntu versions.

jmcs ,

Until they drop it for flatpak as they did all NIH-driven products.

jmcs ,

Theoretically they can, in practice it’s less than ideal. And that doesn’t solve all the other distros or the combinatory explosion of supporting several distros and versions.

Flatpaks on the other hand give you a single runtime of your choice to worry about (though they still have lots of cons too).

Even without that, there’s plenty of evidence for a spherical Earth, from the way shadows vary with longitude to the shape of Earth’s shadow on the moon always being round.

Holy mother of false equivalence. Google is not supposed to be a random dude on the Internet, it’s supposed to be a reference tool, and for the most part it was a good one before they started enshittifying it.

I would stick mostly to consumables - food, etc. Maybe some mass produced goods that I could easily donate anonymously. It would be extremely useful and unlikely to catch the wrong kind of attention.

So Johnson didn’t invite Kenya’s president to speak in Congress, even as Kenya is leading an international mission to try to bring stability to Haiti which should do more to solve what the Republicans see as a border crisis than the Republicans ever did, but he’s inviting Netanyahu. Morals aside, is he trying to torpedo what’s left of the US’s international influence?

Even without debt, sustained deflation is a sign the economy went to shit. Prices go down when there’s no one buying, if there’s no one buying companies close, people lose jobs, which causes other companies to go bankrupt and so on. Debt is the icing on the cake. People that think that long term deflation and deflationary policies are good never went through one.

Keyword in some markets. And in that case driven by efficiency increases in comparison with the rest of the economy.

Considering everyone around him is either getting suicided, arrested, or moved to a sinecure depending on how much Putin likes them, “out of sight out of mind” seems to be a winning strategy

I’m pretty sure that if Madoff had tried to trademark his surname for financial services before he croaked it would have been granted.

Why does something tell me that this speech is going to be shown on repeat on all Russian TV channels?

jmcs ,

Biden gave ammo to the Russian propaganda when he questioned the legitimacy of the ICC arrest warrants and implicitly accused them of playing politics - which is basically Putin’s line. I wouldn’t be surprised if this ends up with Putin being allowed to travel freely again.
