This wording is wild. They did not say that AV1 uses patented material - they said that AV1 includes some technologies that are in HEVC. Dolby doesn’t have a case, and they know it. They are trying to use wording that twists the truth to make it sound like they are in the right.

I did not have to do that with my domain.

Just one of many reasons I haven’t bought a TV or watched TV in over 15 years. If there is a series I want to watch I will either get the blurays or put on my fancy hat and pull out the rum.

Lest we forget, Unity tried to do just that and walked back due to backlash.

No flak. I was gonna post the same thing. Women deserve to feel safe too.

Video streaming bitrates is the one that most affects my day to day. You could stream 1080p for free back in the day. I also believe the ability to post server emotes in other servers is also something that was locked behind the introduction of Nitro, but I can’t confirm since at that time I was only in a single channel.

With this said, Discord needs to make money somehow, but crippling your own platform isn’t the way.

Added undismissible gamification features nobody asked for, hiding more and more features behind boosts, and constant breaking of their mobile app.

Which is perfectly fine. Not everybody needs to search for things day to day. There are some professions where search is important; law and software are two which are more relevant to me. Getting accurate, non hallucinating results is really important.

I am using CachyOS. I was able to find my way around because I knew what I needed to look up due to existing server experience, but a first time user would likely struggle a lot more.

There is a difference between going from a GUI based OS to a hybrid GUI/console OS.

For both iOS and Android the only difference is where things live. The processes are still the same.

This is not the case with Windows and Linux. If you want to install something in Windows you go to a website and download an installer. For Linux, you find out if there is a package. If not you go to a website and see if there is an app image or zip file. You then need to know where to place the downloaded file, how to get it running (making it executable), knowing how to chmod and chown (it is better to have to do it like in Linux, but it is an extra step), and how to add it to your desktop (there is no right+click and add to desktop/create shortcut option in Arch based distros like there is on Windows). If there is a service component you may need to go into command line and systemctl to enable it.

Your comparison to iOS and Android is not really appropriate.

Can confirm. Just switched to Linux about 2 weeks ago. I am happy enough, but there was a brutal learning curve. This was for a distro that is user friendly, too. I was able to install just fine, but actually getting my environment set up is an ongoing process.

Many Linux distros are getting there, but they still aren’t ready for casual users.

What wasnt conveniently covered is what happens when your container goes down and how to architect recovery. Your simple flow diagram is no longer simple.

I generally agree with the rest of the article.

HR already doesn’t do their jobs. They really want to use AI to make themselves completely obsolete, huh?

As scummy as all of this is, it is a real problem that most medical services and offices do not have traditional payment plans. They expect the large amount to be paid all at once.

When things aren’t balanced. It either tells me the devs do not play their game or they have a dominant strategy and don’t bother playing anything else.

I’ve heard stories from professionals and you would be surprised how many devs don’t actually play the game they are developing.

So what I’m hearing is this is a bill to distract from more important things and to delay.

Nowadays they will tell you to work on something else in the meantime.

My experience with SO is that I’ll look up a question about how to do something using X method and all the answers are like “why are you using X?” or “here’s how to do it using Y.”. You rarely find people answering the questions and instead find people trying to spread gospel about a certain tech that you aren’t using.

They tell us we don’t own the game, only a license to play the game that they can arbitrarily revoke.

If you are going to hold my right to play something I paid for hostage, you can bet I am going to reclaim what I lost if that access is taken away from me (this does not apply to you selfish assholes that hack games to cheat then get banned).

Alongside this comment was an equally damning comment: “if your past games are competing with your new games then your new games aren’t worth buying in the first place.”
