Yeah. Frankly, if my company gets spied by MS it’s their fault. I don’t care.

Everything I put in my Teams has been accessible by my company anyway, and so I use that shit accordingly.

This one’s fixable. Just hold Meta accountable. It should be illegal they don’t manually filter ads when submitted.

You know, Java interop is actually a good thing.

I’ve used a few dozen languages, and noticed that most modern languages lack libraries. Coming from Python and C++ I often feel it that way. Use whatever niche language and I’ll hit the lack of power options like Python’s pandas, databases, GUIs, etc.

Clojure’s a powerful language, but with the size if its community there’s no hope of getting many alternatives on doing SQLs, for example. But, Java interop assures me I can just keep going with clojure, because I can almost always work around library issues with Java. It doesn’t even matter if I’m on a mac or ARM or 64bit (looking at you, C#).

So… why don’t they just write that people (or they) want a more progressive NixOS management?

Would be more to the point.

Edit: if you doubt, just check all the examples in the letter.

Someone has to rewrite this…

You have to read thousands of words past Executive Summary to see what’s going on, which eventually turns out to be the usual left-right culture war (aargh…) The worst is that this actual theme is hidden in the links and is never directly mentioned in the letter.

The letter also stops short of taking side between left and right although the links clarify it’s obviously the former.

It instead accuses the NixOS platform of having “systemic” problems in “leadership,” “structure,” etc. etc. I was like, “just say it, you simply believe in a more progressive NixOS team.”

They only say “bad behaviors,” then define bad behaviors with abstract terms using one paragraph. That’s shortly after the text uses the metaphor of “missing stairs in a staircase”, without explaining what these missing stairs are about.

So abstract, without examples for all this depth of abstraction.

They go on with their “bad behavior”, bad behavior, bad behavior, and finally there are links. If you click on the first (?) of these links, you finally see that this one example was about minority representation in NixOS development. In the rest, you see examples of the usual conservative vs. progressive culture war.

There are proper ways to do this.

Not the person you wrote to, but TB has native code in C++, so I don’t really think the speed will change. The official website also doesn’t advertise speed improvements. It argued that Rust is (almost) as fast as the current native C++ part in TB, and that’s about it.

Why did you put the question marks there?

It was the academic way of politely expressing that she’s a fascist.

Sadly, Congresspeople ain’t academics.

“Bro,[1] you don’t work hard. I just worked a 4700-hour week digging a tunnel under Mordor with a screwdriver.”

They have a point. Mordor sucks, and it’s certainly more physically taxing to dig a tunnel than poke at a keyboard unless you’re an ant.

OP saw no problem digging a tunnel with a screwdriver?

Forgot that part… It’s crazy that a bunch of lizard brains ruling an idiotic party can literally dictate people’s life.

Just tell her there’s email. If she insists on WeChat… Maybe she’s… err…

I mean, a messaging app isn’t suited for a back up. Just throw her phone into the toilet, and many such apps are gone forever.

SwiftData is an elegant way to write a simpler subset of SwiftUI apps, which is a simpler subset of Swift apps, which is a simpler subset of Objective C apps /s

People there are happy to continue with WeChat. I’m not sure if they know what it means for WeChat to be never taken down while others are.

That’s one region in Germany. The rest is not. Actually, a few in Germany tried moving to Linux in the past and gave up, unfortunately.

Well, actually, anybody can edit Wikipedia and the page updates immediately.

How do people even find the legitimate sites for Win apps these days? I mostly can’t. Even the legitimate github repos occasionally link to Sourceforge wtf

This sounds like an exaggeration though.

To me it seems like these researchers are saying the switch is confusing and complicated. That is not to say that Apple secretly collect data after lying to their users.

The problem with Siri, first example, is more about Apple’s (characteristic) terminology garbage. Siri’s voice control has nothing to do with Siri’s search suggestion, yet they marketed both as Siri. Actually, you can turn them both off, but since the voice control is just called Siri, they confused their users.

That’s different from "collecting data even when supposedly disabled.

(Tbf, even if they were better termed, my mom would still manage to confuse herself… mo matter what Apple do, the average user won’t be able to turn off anything.)

That said, there’s no point trying to convince someone on the internet anyway, and so I don’t really know why I wrote this comment.

What about Kubuntu, though?

Still on iCloud, Google Drive and OneDrive. No way these people know how to store photos offline on their phone.
