Data privacy AND not having to deal with more bullshit AI? Oh my, how will we ever cope with this… /s

If not frien why frien shape?

Not the companies. But some anonymous whistleblower? Sure

Can you at least wait for me to die before taking me to hell, Satan?

Not sure if I’m just missing a reference here, but if you choose the pizza you can have both.

I’m so impressed that this is a thing

Because they didn’t come out saying they won’t enable ads. They just quietly renamed the toggle to say something else, and that is shady AF. Why are you trying to spin it positively?

Old boy is about to pop open that keg and have a great time with the guys.

New dude is pondering investment plans to maximise return on investment from that treasure chest.

This is the definitive proof that money doesn’t bring happiness.

It is. It also happens to be undefined, and checking that for truth is how I was bitten.

My dude, you need to understand that all that anger and resentment, it is not you. It’s the years of JavaScript poisoning your mind.

In any case, that goes to my point. I would have to be saved by my IDE, when any sane language will blow up in your face as soon as you try to run it.

I spent way too long today figuring out why my app was doing something that it’s NOT supposed to do on weekends.

I read Luxon’s docs (pretty cool lib tbh) again and again, and tried everything I could think of to get isWeekend to return a sane result.

Turns out I was pulling a somewhat older version of Luxon, where isWeekend didn’t exist. In any sane language, I expect I’d get a huge warning about a property that doesn’t exist, but alas…

Typescript helps me keep my sanity, but juuuuust barely.

I… Uh. Maybe? I was thinking “flip around a vertical axis”, but uh hum

Clearly she has the better judgement, on account of her having created a cool meme format while I just yap about stuff.

Have a great day!

How does it look if you vertically flip the top right img, so she’s facing him?

Google says that “regulatory requirements” have led to this decision, presumably referring to the EU’s Digital Markets Act or other recent legislation. The precise reason isn’t mentioned by Google.

What are those clock faces doing, Google?

WHAT. ARE. THEY. DOING?!

Hell nah. They cannot be the sole gatekeepers, alternative app stores that are outside of Apple’s control need to exist.

So you’re saying the DMA wasn’t created specifically to fuck over small content creators? TIL

I feel like you missed the point.

Webengines are not more complex than a full OS, and yet, Linux works as a community driven project and Chromium does not.

The difference is that Linus is the one with final say in Linux, and he never sold out to a company. Chromium is Google.

It will never be a “community” project, because Google pumps so many resources into it. The goal is obvious: to make sure that it’s always ahead of any competitors, and anyone willing to catch up would have to match Google spending.

The brilliant move here by Google was making it open source. This ensures that no other megacorp needs to fight them, as long as their interests are aligned.

Edge has died already. Safari will follow. The future is grim.

I could point out the ad hominem, but even worse, emojis?! You have zero credibility, scram.

The kernel-level cheats would fall into this category I guess, but cheaters will still be running them. Could anything without the same level access identify them?
