  • Lol I saw this when it came out and we had another thread (or not, I might be getting DejaVu).

    My pet theory for why they did it like this is:

    they fired any experienced dev and told a bunch of juniors; whose experience was only in react, to write a TUI. The juniors obviously thought they would code up the backend first because they were like "TUI? What's that? Some kind of web frontend that looks like the cmd.exe?" and then it was just a terminal-like frontend rendered using a canvas.

  • What? you expected me to double down? I am trying to make lemmy better than reddit, not worse.

  • I’ve been around on the internet for longer…

    Are you saying that never happens? I too have been around the internet for long. Votes come in waves. The first wave is usually full of trash, discarded water bottles and weird coconuts. The second wave on-wards is clean. It also depends on your timezone.

  • I genuinely thought she died and was relieved she didn't. Posted to ensure nobody else experiences the roller coaster I did.

    Fuck me, right?

  • Lol, I don’t think anyone would assumed she died

    I did and it is kind of disheartening until you learn otherwise. Hence I tried to warn others but apparently people don't like that?

  • Indonesia Urges EU To Follow WTO Ruling On Palm Oil To Restore Market Access

  • This is bollocks because countries can decide to put import tariffs to safeguard their home grown industries. No country in the world has zero import duties unless they don't have a local industry to protect.

  • FYI,

    She broke a wrist. So don't break your hearts.

  • Whale Fall

    Jump

  • Sure but the title sounds interesting on it's own and prompted me to learn what it was. It's clickbait but there's no bait and switch when you visit the article.

    And the description gives enough clue for me what the article is going to be about:

    What happens when a large open source project dies.

    Edit:

    And I find that focusing too much about upvotes won't make for a good community experience. If the material is good the upvotes will eventually arrive.

  • Hmm sorry for calling you a Rube. You make a fair point.

  • Linux Mint's success also means maintainer stress - The Register

    Jump

  • hey accumulating stuff that you still find use for is better than throwing them away. And you said you give away stuff to other people for their use.. which probably saves even more devices from a landfill.

  • two verbose flags makes it extra verbose

    tcpdump intensifies

    But what tool did you have in mind?

  • Games you fell out of love with.

    Jump

  • yeah swinging swords makes that cheap metallic noise. Quests don't have the pull that we expect them to. None of the characters are interesting. No continuity with quests. I notice the bugs that Tod Howard never fixed but re-released with bigger textures, which only makes the greed more palpable.

  • You're a rube if you think corporations can't throw some money at interns do a rewrite in MIT and bypass GPL that way.

  • In a place without access to US apps and online services, how would you use the Internet?

    Jump

  • I would use the internet like I did back in 2005 I guess. Seriously... the necessity of these tech companies is a mixture of them sniffing their own farts too much, propaganda from them to ensure they are perceived as essential, and finally people being too lazy to find alternatives.

  • The conjecture that: when tech bros talk about "disrupting the market" it's actually a dogwhistle for fraud and subverting regulations with illegal tactics quick enough to grow very big and influence governments to alter the policies in their favor; gets one more example to make it into a theorem.

  • VirtualBox has been packaged as a Flatpak

    Jump

  • The backend is not virtualbox stuff but KVM stuff. Only the frontend is virtualbox. so one can claim that it's more apt to say this is "virtualbox-ui"
