There are like five engineers still on staff in that place, it’s honestly surprising that they’ve been able to keep the lights on for this long.

Anyway, let the ship sink and move on

It’s gotten significantly worse in basically every regard here in Sweden with regards to immigration, unfortunately.

It’s actually worse than lossless being discernable or not on bluetooth - people cannot reliably tell between high-quality compressed audio and lossless audio generally. This has been studied to oblivion - the jury is out, there’s no more discussion to be had on the subject.

Fuck being efficient all the time. That’s such a fucking capitalist mindset.

Are you under the impression that a socialist or communist society would not be in the pursuit of efficiency? Think again. They would merely be making sure the efficiency would not come at the cost of the workers, and put the increased efficiency to use in service of the workers (fewer hours etc).

I don’t know if ‘simply’ is the word I’d use here, but there’s clearly been some unforced errors on Google’s part with regards to search

Noe does iOS, Android has the vast majority of the smartphone market

Jellyfin is better anyway

I wish this were true, but as a multi-year Plex-to-Jellyfin migrant, I have to point out that Plex was the better software.

I still choose to run Jellyfin for other reasons (don’t like the commercial path Plex is taking, among others), but I still do miss the better reliability and larger feature set in the Plex software stack.

I recommend liberal use of the concept of critical support

He’s always lied about the self-driving capabilities of the cars and promised timelines that have never held. Print this statement out and use it as toilet paper

I believe there was a 100% tariff in place pre-Trump meltdown on Chinese EVs in the U.S, making them less viable in that market. The EU also tariffs them heavily, which is quite a pity.

Without actually knowing how much constructing the physical buttons cost, I would guess that the real savings are in process optimization - if all you have for the interface is a screen, then you don’t need to have the interface design done before constructing the car - you can parallelize these tasks.

Insufficient as far as justifications go, but understandably lucrative.

Anything Turing-complete is a powerful tool, but the reason people are reacting negatively is because of how much of the wrong tool it is.

• Does an excel-based solution offer adequate runtime performance? No
• Does an excel-based solution offer adequate write concurrency? No
• Does an excel-based solution offer appropriate data durability guarantees? No

Basically the only saving grace of Excel-based solutions is that they are built in tools that finance workers comprehend, and that is quite simply not enough. To base systems at this scale on Excel is criminally negligent.

From what I gather from the Perplexity CEO, he is just that type of Musk-tier cringelord, so yes, probably

My god, could he have chosen a name more cringe than this? Fuck.

Honestly, just never use link shorteners. QR codes have basically completely killed their use-case, and various sharing tools take care of what little QR codes do not.

Llama has several restrictions making it quite a bit less open than Grok or DeepSeek.

Just make it a tax at that point, honestly.

It’s kind of fine if it becomes just another Truth social though, isn’t it? Kind of a containment zone. The big problem is if it’s the one place where everyone is.

In Sweden, this was a relic from the time when TVs were a luxury exclusively used by rich people, i.e. when they were first introduced to the market. As TVs successively got cheaper, it became essentially a tax on every household.

We power on, my friend. We’ll make it in the end
