  • Google confirms Gmail is “here to stay” amid speculation over plans to scrap the email service

    Jump

  • And they were giving you something like 1gb of space for free. At the time unwashed working for a big international company and employees quota for emails was something like 50mb!

    I wish there were still players like Google was 20 years ago instead these days all we get ate short videos and same day delivery (oh and llms that create funny images with weird fingers)

  • Reddit literally shilling their own stonks to users in direct message, reveals that CEO gets paid $193 million last year

    Jump

  • From memory all those were performing well, getting load of attention and be used by "everyone" at the time of their ipo. Particularly google was THE search engine and Facebook was THE social media site.

    Reddit has been around forever, most of us left, what does it really have to offer? Keeping in mind that llms have had access to all that data for s long time, I can't imagine the last 8 months or so of reddit data to be that significant.

    Usually companies go public because they have an aggressive plan that requires growth and a massive cash injection. What is spez's plan if he gets that? I'll admit I haven't really followed much, but I doubt reddit had this huge potential. And that's even if they didn't alienate their users and nods.

    Reminds me those pet food companies going public in the late 90s during the internet bubble.

  • But they never do that. Musk could have been supping margaritas on a man made island with oompa loompas in a private ocean a long time ago

  • Hey, I'm new to GitHub!

    Jump

  • Assuming the user uses the same OS that the developer runs, and that they release a statically compiled app for. In this example, I see the project is python and docker is mentioned in thrbdocs, while not 100% my bet is that the output would still not be the .exe file that thhis entitled asshole is demanding.

  • Hey, I'm new to GitHub!

    Jump

  • That guy is not asking, is demanding. I use lots of open source software and am aware that the developer is often stretched thin. If I can't help with the project (can't say I have in the past two decades) I want them focused on what is important and what probably keeps them motivated, writing code and adding cool features. If they have time, fix bugs. If there is more bandwidth, write documentation.

    Not wasting time making an executable for every OS out there because some ingrateful asshole is too lazy to figure out how to read instructions in plain English.

  • 100% agree. Mate, there's an another ongoing post on lemmy about autosaving documents, and how everyone seems to think that saving files with their fingers pressing keys on a keyboard is the best approach possible in 2024 because software just can't do this reliably.

    Of course everyone also knows better than their charger, battery and device.

  • My daughter lost her social studies essay because LibreOffice doesn't have autosave on automatically.

  • I already covered your first point, you don't need to.

    As for your second point, autosave still does its job. The fact that you haven't chosen a name and a folder for your document doesn't mean that the software hasn't created one on disk that keeps getting autosaved. When you decide to finally save the document, that file gets renamed and placed where you want it.

    I mean this is trivial stuff that got solved a long time ago, I don't see people on this thread saying I don't trust electronic payments, I only write checks but somehow everyone think a basic feature is broken everywhere

  • If current_time > x invoke deper,older code that you somehow trust

    Alternatively, more modern implementation suggested by someone else in this thread

    At every keystroke, invoke deeper older code that you somehow trust

    While not impossible, pretty hard to slip a bug into something like that and if it happens it gets identified,reported and fixed like all bugs. Users tend to be quite vocal about data loss.

    Also some software developers tend to overcomplicate things, this is not rocket science

  • Fair enough obviously a real issue considering that it is not just you but many other in this thread, that are posting the same or upvoting I do wonder what software, or and electricity grid you are all on and if you are typing from a war zone though. It has happened to me too, mind you. Once. It was some sort of word processor, in the 1990s before autosave. Been spending my days on a computer since then for work and hobbies, can't say I remember a single other occurrence after that.

  • Fair enough, can agree with that, replace every x minuted with at every keystroke in my precious comment

    Edit: previous, but I'm leaving it like that

  • Or not trusting autosave because they lost a document once in the 80s when autosave didn't exist, and now they tell everyone to compulsively press ctrl-s because software can be trusted enough to drive a car, but not save a file every minute or so. Bonus point when they introduce themselves as I'm a software developer..

  • What does MS say when you report these to them? Is it always the same bug still unfixed or separate issues? Nothing is infallible with software, but note that in ops case autosave was disabled so no mystery "autosave lost my document", it was just disabled.

    And ffs autosave is just a timer that saves the document every x minutes the same way a user would do if they pressed save. I do believe you get many issues reported to you, but I doubt Microsoft autosave is so buggy to cause an unbelievable amount of data loss in a single institution (and I love to shit on MS).

  • What is wrong whit your computer and why do you say that others should press ctrl-s five times like we were practising magic? Report a bug with the software that you use if it doesnt work, or replace your keyboard

  • Furthermore, if the laptop randomly reboots for no reason, autosave won't save you. You just need a tiny bit of bad luck for the computer to crash while saving, corrupting the perfectly-good file saved to disk.

    Hardly how file saving works. Else you could say the same about a bit of bad luck for the computer to crash while pressing ctrl-s, corrupting the perfectly-good file saved on disk.

    Too many people on this thread seem to see autosave and ctrl-s as two different things, governed by magic and mystery, one of them indispensable to conside nyourself an experienced computer user. It's the same fucking piece of code, in one case invoked by a timer, in the other one by the end user pressing a key combo.

    Op's issue was that automated was disabled by default. Obviously autosave doesn't work it it's disabled.

  • Why do you trust ctrl-s though? You are a software engineer, you know that a bug in the piece of code that saves the document would affect both calls, regardless of whether its invoked by a timer or by the end user pressing keys, right?

    I mean we have all been bitten by op's problem In the past but it was exactly the same issue, autosave not enabled (most likely didn't exist) what's with all these, I don't trust software to do it's job so I do things by hand?

    Particularly from software developers or other technical users. Found a bug in a piece of software, report it, you don't need to change your behaviour for the next 20 years and tell everyone anecdotes about you still don't trust a regression.
