Or “swordfish”

Yeah, my current position is this way, and I’m a $programmingLanguage Developer.

At very least there’s an OCX for InteractiveHtmlView or some stuff. It’s how South Korean banks apps run. I think even the EU-specific “unbundled IE” versions still have that ActiveX / OLE control registered, though it might be crippled.

Although, he admits in the video to “faking” his footage of it working, by using a off-camera heat source. (His batteries were quite dead.)

But, as someone that lived through this time, they did work, as long as you pressed hard enough in the right places. It was hard to tell if the battery was dead or if you weren’t pressing hard enough

The whole reason I got on YT Premium was because it was free with Google Play Music. I have real issues watch non-Premiun now, because I’ve always disliked advertising methods. (Not so much th ads, which can be entertaining, but just being shown content I didn’t request instead of the content I did request.)

Ribs. I don’t mind saucy ribs. I suppose if you are supposed to use your hands, maybe it’s okay if they get a bit saucy.

I don’t really like buffalo wings. I know boneless wings are basically just “nuggies”, but I prefer them, especially if things are getting saucy.

A dry spice blend can make for acceptable wings, but I actually still prefer something like a spicy breading and a bigger piece of chicken, if I’m going to have to deal with bones.

But, I will admit that is a good border case, and isn’t quite the sin that shrimp w/ tail covered in cream sauce is.

Anything I can’t eat with my hands, should not be covered in a sauce that I don’t want on my hands.

Fried shrimp with tails = fine. Bone-in chicken legs = fine. Bone-in chicken in biryani = not ordering. Shrimp with tail in pasta = sin against god and crime against humanity.

Some people hate it, including some independent developers. I wouldn’t mind going without it, if there was a Free Software library management alternative. I want something to track what I have installed (because I’ve “lost” things and reinstalled them before) and something that has a decent uninstall.

I also get some benefit from the store integration, but I can understand developers being annoyed at the 30% “steam tax”. I’d gladly purchase using some other method, if I didn’t have to sacrifice library functions from previous paragraph.

It’s an argument against a license that permits relicensing under a more restrictive license. (E.g. BSD)

I read a story of someone that contributed to a BSD project, including fixes over some period of time, but later they ended up having to use a proprietary UNIX for work, that included their code, in a an intermediate, buggy state, but they were legally forbidden from applying their own bug fixes!

At the very least the GPL guarantees that if I am ever downstream of myself, I has fix my own damn mistakes and don’t have to suffer them.

I am still willing to contribute to BSD stuff, but vastly prefer something like the AGPLv3.

But, for several reasons is a much worse experience for people with a large number of followers, especially if they are from a marginalized group.

Everyone should get off X, but I find it hard to recommend any replacement. Threads and Bluesky have problems, but they might work better than Mastodon for some people or organizations.

It’s been a LONG time since I tried, but ISTR it complaining that it couldn’t move the old_root because it was in use? But, when I’d fuser it, the only think that was using it was my shell (using it as the current directory).

I, too, want something to replace Google Maps inside Android Auto, which is the main place I use it. I like live re-routes around traffic.

Did you try Organic Maps?

I’ve never gotten pivot_root to work well / as documented. Major props for being able to pull this off. Hopefully you didn’t have much time where a connection-drop would require a reboot. SSH in the new root on an alternate port before the pivot? idk.

The academy has been using the term “AI” for a while now for things that are much less sophisticated than the current/popular generation of media generators. I took an “Artificial Intelligence” class as part of my undergrad around the turn of the century.

It is confusing though, since sentience and intelligence are synonyms in the right context, but no AI has shown any good evidence of being a non-human sentient being.

When MS was pushing the Bing challenge with TV ads, it really was quite close. I did the challenge and Google “won” (only) 3/5 of my test searches.

Of course Bing already had a hilariously incorrect “AI” interfering with the first page of results for a week or two before Google decided to further fsck up their search with LLM response generation.

Web assembly ? It’s not driven only by Google, but I think they have been involved.
