Wait until you hear about rent.

Strange, I’ve never found a use for a lightning cable.

Why are you still using Windows? Switch to Linux!

Seems like using a copyleft on the reference implementation of a new protocol is a great way to ensure the protocol is never widely adopted.

Chrome and Chromium are 99.9% the same. Source: I used to be a Chrome developer at Google.

It does have to be free. It’s open source software. If they tried to charge money for Chrome, people would just use Chromium or one of the other browsers based on it.

I’ve been using it for the last few months, and while it doesn’t offer as many “nice to have” features as Google (like automatically finding mask results need in where you are), the core functionality works great, and the lack of ads is refreshing.

Chrome doesn’t make any money. How is it supposed to support itself as a separate company?

I regret that I have but one upvote to give.

“Just switch to mayo!”

In that case I guess I’m very close to running Linux again.

I just want proper HDR support in games. Since that’s most of what I use my laptop for these days, Windows it is.

AI bad?

What other programming techniques should be opt-in by default? OOP? Global variables? Caching?

Singling out a technique just because you disapprove of how certain parties have used it is just as ridiculous as trying to to shoehorn it into every application and use it as a marketing buzzword.

Statistical analysis of a large data set is a sin, after all.

And yet you can still buy phones with headphone jacks. Because there is demand for them. The reason you didn’t see many is because the demand is a lot less than what Lemmy users would have you believe.

I found 8 brands of DVD±R discs—none of them Sony—before I stopped counting. If you think one company stopping production is going to stop people from using physical media, or that demand hasn’t been falling for years, YOU are the one who’s badly out of touch.

Let me spell it out for you: as long as there is demand, someone will find a way to make money filling it. No company, no matter how evil it is, can remove a product category from the market just by leaving the market. Suggesting that a company choosing to stop making a commodity product is an attempt to prevent you from having access to said product is nonsense no matter what company and product you’re talking about, because such a plan could never work.

Or… they’re stopping production because there’s very little demand. Nah, that can’t be it.

Damn, that’s some Qanon-level shit.

I think it means something similar to YOLO.
