  • Good, Baker can go find an other x millions salary elsewhere because it's necessary for her family (as she said in an interview), and Firefox can become a community project again that still pays salary to actual developers but without the expensive bullshitting C-suite.

  • Windows have always been trash. Windows 9x were the worse.

    Windows NT was better, Windows XP was trash at release then got better with updates (the service packs).

    Windows Vista was a shitshow, then 7 was better. Windows 8 was horrible, the 10 was a bit better.

    Windows always oscillates between trash and acceptable. There is not much to "ruin" to be honest.

  • I don't know, because it sucks and has zero benefits over PNG?

  • There is already a "lite" version of uBlock origin that conforms to the new manifest and will still work.

    There are still a few features missing, some can't be implemented but others will be.

  • When AOSP was first released, it included all necessary app. Now many of them have been replaced by Google's proprietary app.

    There is also the Play Services, necessary for many third party apps. I know an open source compatible lib exists, but it's not the same as not needing it at all.

    Yes you can use a fully Open Source Android system, but it's getting farer and farer from a "standard" Android install with all the Google proprietary stuff.

  • Most places deploy to Linux, and for those knowing Linux helps a lot. Also a lot of places will give MacBook pro, expect you to know the CLI so a lot of Linux knowledge will be useful there.

  • I hate to break it to you, but companies with actual safe rails to deploying to production do exist.

    And when things go wrong, it's never the responsibility on a single dev. It's also the dev who reviewed the PR. It's also the dev who buddy approved the deploy. It's the whole department that didn't have enough coverage in CI.

  • Moreover, that's the argument you hear when talking about their compensation. "But think of the responsibility and risk they take!"

  • John left McAfee 15 years earlier

  • What does Google have to do with that?

  • Don't forget the Ubuntu restaurant.

    Just be careful with the silverware, they can Snap if you're too rough.

  • Participating in the network doesn't compromise your privacy.

  • I really enjoyed the diversity of WM/DE back then, and the innovation when new ones like Enlightenment were released!

  • It's easy to make the most capable product if you disregard the price point completely.

  • They're living off the rent from older products. What's their last innovation? Vision Pro??

  • I believe they're talking about the damages made by Bob Swan, the previous CEO who is indeed an MBA and was CFO of Intel before.

  • It's a monopoly because gamers go where games are, and developers go where customers are.

    For the same reason Apple App Store / Play Store is a duopoly.

  • Steam is the best, and we're lucky that Steam is the one that won rather than another. Which could definitely have happened because once one of them is in place it's extremely hard to change.

    So the situation is good for gamers, but from an economic point of view it's bad.

  • I love Steam and I love Gabe, but the system we have that let Steam extract so much money out of the gaming industry is broken.

    And that's true for software or online services in general, and I'm saying that as someone who benefit from that system as a software engineer.
