You should tell that to Linus Torvalds, he’s developing the Linux kernel without using GitHub at all. I’m sure he will appreciate being told git is insuffient to develop a good product and write good code, the best practice is to use a Microsoft service in a particular way and nothing else can work.

Tell me, when I work on a project alone, who am I exactly requesting to pull my code and why do I need to use a feature of some git hosting website instead of reviewing, checking, debugging, merging, and reverting if necessary my change locally and using my CI/CD?

How dare you. If it’s your last thought then you are clearly not answering the question and thinking about how you can do better afterwards!

I didn’t try it but this claims to have done it: https://www.beeper.com/

Unfortunately the money went to other people who had too much of it.

Not on Proton’s side, but whoever sent you that email obviously has both your info and your Proton address so they know it’s connected to you, even if Proton doesn’t.

I mean, he does answer why. You can disagree about the reason but he answers your question.

It doesn’t, but someone could write something that did. Like referring to an incorrect answer that the candidate then wants to prove in court was actually correct, and so they were unfairly rejected.

So either you screen every piece feedback by the legal team, which would be very expensive, or you just don’t give feedback as a rule.

I’m not saying this makes sense - it doesn’t - just saying that’s the rationale that leads to it.

Why? What difference does it make if he packages these commits in 1 or 10 PRs?

Keep in mind this is a single maintainer project, there are no PR reviews. He could be just pushing straight to the branch anyway with no PR at all.

Yeah but so could my ISP, and all in all I find it more likely my ISP would, than that NordVPN would. I don’t trust either, but I definitely trust my ISP less.

I need a VPN to get around geoblocks and to torrent without my ISP sending me letters.

NordVPN always worked perfectly fine for me. I don’t see the problem? Not saying other ones aren’t better, but it seems perfectly adequate.

Looks like the concerns are about who owns it? But how does that make it a worse solution for my torrent box?

The “single pull request” is a merge release from 79 separate commits. It’s the sum of all work, it doesn’t mean all of it was changed in one go.

What I meant probably didn’t carry over through text well. I was being very literal because you were very literal – to show the problem with that.

Yes, obviously you didn’t mean it would actually be illegal in all countries that exist. My point is that the “zero-humans” naming also doesn’t actually mean zero humans. There is someone controlling whatever that project is.

Legally in which of the 190+ countries?

Can you quote the relevant part of the bill? I don’t see it. From what I’m reading:

• The OS provider has to collect the age information from the user
• The OS provider has to make the age information available to any app that asks for it
• The developer of any app has to request the age information from either the OS or from an Application Store

There is nothing about how the Application Store obtains the age information (presumably they mean something like Google Play or the App Store that already have the information about users and of course haven’t considered anything else), and there is nothing about the OS sending the age anywhere other than an app running on it that asks for it.

Me: It doesn’t require anything of users

You: Yes it does require something of developers

??

You are correct, but how does that disagree with my comment?

And Facebook Messenger and Gmail Chat (or whatever it was called)! There was a glorious period of time where you could talk to pretty much anyone on any service from one chat app.

Steam could stop asking in California, since it’s now the responsibility of the operating system to tell Steam your age.

A friend asks you: hey, my Windows 7 laptop is getting old, the new ones are all on Windows 10, would you recommend it? Or should I consider a MacBook instead? I really like that Mac has virtual desktops, which my laptop didn’t have.

This is the situation they are asking about. Are you answering:

“Actually Windows 10 has virtual desktops, so if that was the only reason for you to learn a new environment and move to Mac, then it might be simpler to choose Windows 10”.

or

“Nah, they put a lot of spyware in Windows 10, pick something else”.

Yeah, Blackwater is inaccessible for Arthur, you never go there in the game. I don’t know what quest they are talking about.

You are in luck, I already explained this very article! Copy pasting my old comment below:

Notice how even the article you linked doesn’t give a full quote? It just quotes someone saying “last version” without any context of the sentence it was used in? I will give you the full quote where that comes form. Someone asked a Microsoft developer what they are currently working on, and the answer was:

”Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10.”

It is obvious from context “last version” meant “latest version” here. And that misreading of a quote, conveniently not included in most articles, is the only source for all these news. No announcement. No journalist actually asking Microsoft about it. Just a fleeting comment by one Microsoft employee that obviously meant something else, in an answer about something else, but why let that get in the way of a good story.

And this was an answer to an audience question in a "Tiles, Notifications, and Action Center” presentation by a single Microsoft employee, on a developer conference. The absolute last place to look for a ground-breaking announcement about Microsoft’s future.

The company said it had yet to decide on what to call the operating system beyond Windows 10.

And the exact same article you linked confirms Microsoft is still deciding on the name for the next Windows? Which would make no sense if there was no next Windows?

“There will be no Windows 11,” warned Steve Kleynhans, a research vice-president at analyst firm Gartner.

There will be no Windows 11, says some guy who doesn’t work at Microsoft.

And then a bunch of cherry picked quotes about continous updates and a service model being a good thing. Yep, continous updates, just like we got in Windows Vista, and that have nothing to do with there not being new Windows versions, but that’s what the article attempts to imply.

Modern journalism is useless. Someone made up a thing, everyone else copied it. And not a single media outlet actually asked Microsoft about it. No one. Or maybe they did, but the answer meant there is no news, so let’s ignore it.
