For that chrome book like experience, the genuinely think Chrome OS flex is probably a better option for most people (privacy concerns not withstanding).

People blame Google for the death of jabber because of one blog post from a disgruntled contributor but the truth is jabber was never popular and Google chat died as well.

Jabber was a mess, most of the clients were barely compatible with Each other and it was a wild west of feature support. Some clients were well featured with the ability to send richer messages, but typically only worked with a specific server and the same clients. Jabber did a crap job at making sure clients and servers interacted properly with each other and didn’t push the standards quickly enough, forcing clients to do their own thing.

Which is all Google did, they went their own way because nobody used jabber and the interoperability was causing more harm than good. It didn’t work, Google talk died and many years later clients like WhatsApp took over instead.

I’m on the side of “automate it all and stop whining”, but I do think it’s important not to so readily dismiss the thoughts and opinions of those this directly affects in favour of the opinions of the security researchers pushing the change.

There are some legitimate issues with certain systems that aren’t easily automated today. The issue is with those systems needing to be modernised, but there isn’t a big push for that.

You don’t need anything so complicated.

Take two copies of the same video, diff them and only keep the parts that match.

We can also build up a database of as signatures to automatically identify them without requiring a watermark - we already have the technology to do this for detecting intro sequences for skipping.

Nah this isn’t usual Nintendo bullshit, this guy was installing pirated games as part of his mods - he’s brought this on himself.

Yeah, really want musk to buy it…

I agree with that, though I suspect it’s still running the full render pipeline in the background but I was particularly confused about why OP expected memory usage to drop

Why would you expect pausing a game to use less memory?

I fully expect Nintendo to flip the switch 2 into switch 1 mode for that backwards compatibility, then charge extra for switch 2 enhanced titles.

It’s just the low effort anti-user kind of bullshit I expect from them now.

In addendum, they also operate a browser extension that puts the same pricing info directly into steam itself, as well as other enhancements:

Well worth having installed, that way you can browse steam (via your browser) as normal and know if a good deal is actually good.

Doy it was operated like a real business, Huh

I find jiras search to be decent enough, you might get better results using a filter on sprint name with your current sprint in it.

Honestly 95% of Jira complaints are because people have crap workflows configured. Out of the box Jira is pretty terrible but it’s very customisable and you need to adjust it to suit your needs - and they have to be your needs and workflows.

That being said, there’s that last 5% that Jira just gets in the way. If anyone has ever had multiple teams working on a single product, Jira is very prescribed about how you’re supposed to structure that and If you don’t, it’s a pain.

I thought this was dumb as fuck, but I think I understand what Microsoft is trying to do here.

What might not be obvious is that this “Windows” app is for iOS, Android and Linux - yes, it’s a replacement for remote desktop but it’s specifically a remote desktop app to connect to Windows machines.

So while I still this this rebranding is entirely unnecessary, I can see that they are trying to clearly distinguish “I’m not on windows and I need to do something on windows so I’ll use the windows app for that” .

It also means less confusion when “remote desktop” doesn’t let you connect to your Mac or whatever.

I’m devastated that they’re not working on a sequel at all, it was such a fun and refreshing game.

I love docker images, hate docker Inc.

Our 200 developers all switched from docker desktop to rancher after Docker tried to jack up the price about a year and a half ago, along with a bunch of legal threats. Their attitude was so piss poor, we went from debating paying the higher fees to just fucking them off entirely.

I will pay $4 per user to NOT use Docker.
