No, I know that – I honestly want them both to die :p

Both have been a blight on software development for decades.

Can Oracle kill javascript as well, please? Please?

Recommend “Human Resource Machine” as well :)

What? Oh no, I had not written down the recipe for using gasoline to cook my spaghetti! Whatever shall I do?

Americans rejected The Crown, but missed vapid royalty so much, they had to invent their own.

So they should switch to element.io, or host their own forum thingie on a VPS somewhere. Why is Discord essential? (Hint: it’s not)

You can, but now it’s called “a big monitor and your own server with a personal media library”.

Individual does this – CFPA indictment instantly.

MegaCorp does this – Oh dear, we absolutely must meet to plan to implement a meeting to form a panel that will plan to meet to maybe ask nicely that MegaCorp stop what they’re doing (or pay us lots of lobbying funds to make it go away, which it will do anyhow, just not quite as quietly as if they pay us $$$)

Hah, no – oops, will fix :) Thanks

Gee, no one could have predicted that AI might be dangerous if given access to nukes.

Heh, ‘garbage language’ or ‘garbage-collected language’? Until Go I considered the two to be the same :)

But yeah… the tooling is a strong point IMO.

(Package management went downhill once the whole GOPROXY thing was introduced. When ‘go get’ was the simplest way to fetch packages, things were great IMHO … but I’m not doing big enterprise-y stuff so maybe my view is too narrow as to the issues of ‘vendoring’, version management etc.)

Concluding paragraphs are a thinly veiled bash at Golang and its creators. Whatever. I like Go. I like C. I like lots of other languages, for different reasons. Haven’t learned Rust yet, but am already tired of the ivory-tower attitude of its proponents.

Yarrrr, mateys. Back to the Seas it is then!

Fine with me, I don’t need those :)

So surely there must be an easy way to cut/disconnect whatever antenna(s) are used for OnStar, LTE, Bluetooth etc. in modern cars? I know when I finally am forced to get a car with always-on systems I will be looking for ways to disable them.

Looks like someone forgot to cast their uint32_t to int32_t or should’ve used a signed type in the first place, unless they’re storing temps in Kelvin :)

Oh I hadn’t thought of how I’d installed Vivaldi. I always just choose the basic install – no Vivaldi mail, ad-block, etc. Just their core browser. Then I install uBlock Origin on top of that. And, so far, I’ve never hit the new Youtube adblock-block.

I’m waiting to see Youtube block me using Vivaldi w/uBlock Origin on Linux so far. It hasn’t happened, am I accidentally doing something awesome to evade their traps so far?

Vivaldi’s Chrome-based, so I would presume the same tricks to detect uBlock Origin on Chrome itself would work, or is Vivaldi doing something sneaky?

I have no problem jumping to Firefox the moment they do it – I just haven’t had an issue yet. I should add I’m in Canada, perhaps that is a factor.

What dream? A domain’s quite practical for self-hosting one’s own server for all sorts of things. Doesn’t have to be the “next big thing”. This is the way the internet used to be.

Got Steam with Proton going on my Devuan laptop a few weeks ago, and very impressed with how many games work. I might just get a Deck, after trying out a friend’s.

I think M$ needs to be very afraid – probably why they bought Activision and are trying to dig their way deeper into the gaming ecosystem.
