I'd say to you all: get used to bombshells dropping! At some point the investor pyramid scheme will go crashing down. It might be now. All those companies were on borrowed time. Until investors realised that "data" isn't valuable on its own - it's what you make of it. There needs to be a product that generates revenue. Spoiler alert, it is hard to come up with a business plan that takes plain usage data and makes the technical challenges worthwhile to squeeze money from it. I can feel it myself as data scientist. The honeymoon's over, investors want to see ROI.

I mean this cycle will probably recover in a few years when the markets recover but still - some lessons stick

I use FF to help keep the browser "market" competitive. We don't want to end up in the same situation as early 2ks where html standardisation was essentially "internet explorer compatibility", and if you wanted to use newer features as a web dev you had to put multiple implementations, one for IE, and one for the others, as in the browsers actually implementing the specifications correctly. Now MS didn't exactly do nefarious things with their market power, it was rather neglect, but it damaged the industry nevertheless. For Google, in today's market, I'd anticipate they would use it to make it very difficult to block ads etc. Internet will become less free.

Because that act didn't hurt an American company

He was in prison for 12 years. You legit owe him money. He knows where you live. End of discussion

Your loop condition fails the next street where there's a round hole without a distinguishable pattern

Wifi is generally faster though, at least from phones. They often have horrible data transfer with MTP, and use USB2.0, so maybe 20-30MB/s real-world. Wifi is much faster, I usually get double that or more on my phone. Way more fun to transfer videos etc, and you don't need to plug it to another device to push something to network storage.

Horse people are generally less used to rejection and being told no then the regular, average trail enjoyer

Because you need a driver's licence for that car, but not an E-Bike. And you can't use that car on segregated green lanes in cities amidst other cyclists and pedestrians.

Myguy, let me introduce you to the /s modifier

Do it bitch

The point was to have stuff to read when no connection, such as airplane. Which browser doesn't try to refresh the tab? Any setting that allows to cache to HDD on a mobile browser you know of?

I dunno, sounds like a fake story to me

Islamists are fundamentalists btw, so exactly the kind of religious zealots you seem to despise

Go to a cheap supermarket on a Monday at 2pm and you'll see those coincidences irl

Perfect for East Russian newly made widows to recover from the shock of finding unexpected money on their bank account.

You really think they would give the money to them before Greenland joined? And in fact - once it joined who actually guarantees they'd get it, lol. They might just claim, this is part of the infrastructure the US provides for Greenland

WSL has many issues which are not getting fixed, and rather classified as "won't fix, as out of scope". Further, WSL isn't supported on Windows Server, which is really annoying if you're dealing with M$ only infrastructure at your company and hoping to use WSL as an alternative way of deployment.

It's basically just a "cheapish" way of keeping Devs on Windows, preemting any semblance of competition by Linux desktop environments from forming. They know they lost the server market, but they can cling on to the Desktop environment market as much as possible, at the same time eating into apple's market share in this specific power user market. Not that Apple cares that much anyway, they're content with selling iPhones.

Agreed. After years of Ubuntu (who remember single digits?) Endeavour OS really knocked it out of the park on my new laptop. Everything smooth as butter, out of the box. Hibernation works on a bleeding edge device. No tearing. HDR works. VRR works. YouTube 4k 60fps no drops. Games run beautifully.

Okay, some BT issues, and the Wifi card is crap, and I don't know how much of this is due to having an AMD graphics vs NVIDIA. But it's sooo damn smooth. Games just work. KDE plasma >>>> gnome, and I say that as a gnome user since canonical killed unity.

Don't get me started on the arch ecosystem and documentation. yay 😁

Just do what you've been wanting to do for a long time

The point is you don't pay a wage. It's not customer experience that matters to McD

The US slowly turning into Russia. Already a propaganda driven oligarchy, and the bitterness will follow as those with a brain start to leave.

Not going to claim it really matters that much. Everyone chooses their own principles and battles to make themselves feel better. We try to cut out as much meat as possible.

Beef, because it pollutes the most globally.

Most pork because they're clever and the nitrate pollution in my particular part of the world due to pig manure threatens the local ground water

So our chicken consumption went up a bit, but mostly the tofu consumption. Doesn't mean we're religious or even the least bit of preachy about it, god I hate those ppl. But it makes you feel better if you think you're at least a bit in control of some things. Like your own diet.
