  • Apple refuses to relax its iron grip on iPhones in Europe

    Jump

  • It's funny, I buy Apple Car specifically so that that I can't decide where I want to go. At work we MDM and Apple's approach isn't for everyone, but forcing something like choosing their destination simply isn't the right choice for all types of users.

    I'm all for encouraging them to be on the right side of Right-to-Repair, labor laws, and environmental best practices. But I left the world of thinking where I want to go and choice for the Apple Car's tight lockdowns. At first I still couldn't help myself but to try to go around wherever I wanted with my first Apple Car or two, then I stoped that also.

    Apple Car's filtered possible destinations are all I need, so I don't see why anyone would ever want to go any other place.

  • KDE's Megarelease 6 - Release Candidate 2

    Jump

  • 24.04 won't have Plasma 6, but 24.10 will. In other words, fall 2024.

    Or you can use KDE Neon, which is basically Ubuntu LTS, but with the newest Plasma.

  • It's just business

  • Your goal as a company is not to sell as many, but to make the greatest profit. So let's say that the new market price is $3 000.

    You're the new company. Your supply is 20 000.

    Do you

    a) Sell fridges @ $2 950/each, undercutting competition while selling whole supply, because of demand being higher than your supply, making $59 000 000?

    or

    b) Sell fridges at a reasonable price of $400, selling the same amount, because your supply is limited anyway, making $8 000 000?

    The company still has no incentive to go B route. They only need to undercut the competition, not make prices reasonable.

    Free market self regulates, provided nothing artificially screws with supply and demand and there are competitors. Both scalping and price fixing screws with it. It is literally the cancer of free market, and people screwing with it call themselves "investors", while actually destroying the economy.

    It is the government's responsibility to prevent those situations before they happen, otherwise these changes may be irreversible.

    Btw. A situation like this was happening recently in the GPU market. Nvidia had a crazy high demand for their GPUs because companies invested in AI were going to buy these cards no matter the price. So they bumped the prices like crazy, and they were instantly sold out.

    Meanwhile Nvidia's competitor - AMD - didn't have nearly as strong GPUs for Ai as Nvidia. Do you think AMD's prices stayed the same? Nope. They bumped it just like Nvidia, barely undercutting them, because there was still demand, in fact growing demand, for GPUs for gaming, while AMD's supply was obviously limited.

    2 years later, lower demand, GPUs actually in stock, but prices are still fucked (though not as much) because people got used to it.

  • It's free market exploitation. If you believe a free market can exist without regulations, you're imbecile.

    Just imagine: People need fridges. All fridge manufacturers agree to raise prices of a fridge by 2000%. So what, people are going to stop buying fridges? No - because they need them.

    You would say: it's a free market, some new manufacturer is going to offer fridges at regular prices. Well - no you dumb fuck. What's the incentive for the new fridge manufacturer to sell at lower prices, when people are going to buy fridges anyway, because they need them? The answer is - none. It would be a dumb business decision, because your supply is limited, and you're going to sell it at market price, because that item is essential.

    So how does the economy even work if that's possible? That's right idiot - because it's price fixing and it's fucking illegal.

  • [not solved] I think I messed something up in the router settings but cannot understand what... now I have no internet connection

    Jump

  • You mentioned you changed firewall rules for that device. Any chance you have set outbound rule instead of inbound rule?

    Anyway, what's the output of ip route?

  • Nvidia Blackwell RTX 5000 GPUs may debut earlier than expected

    Jump

  • At least the performance gap somewhat justified the price. The other cards, mainly 4060 got little to no performance upgrade, yet cost more.

  • Why do you use the terminal?

    Jump

  • If you know how to use git, you will know how to use docker (provided you know what you want to do). They are completely different programs, yet you can quickly grasp the other instinctively.

    Now, Photoshop and Blender - they are also different programs, but if you know Photoshop, you still need to relearn Blender's interface completely.

    This is why I prefer terminal programs in general. Unless it's more convenient to use GUi, i.e. Drag&Drop file manager, some git tools etc.

  • SPAs were a mistake

  • Then again, cookie auth is vulnerable to CSRF. Pick your poison.

    Although CSRF protection just adds a minor inconvenience, while there is never a guarantee your code is XSS vulnerability free.

  • Java used to lack many features to make the stuff you wanted it to do, so most Java programmers adapted design patterns to solve these problems.

    Honestly, older versions of Java are utter garbage DX. The only reason it got so popular was because of aggressive enterprise marketing and it worked. How can a language lack such an essential feature as default parameters?

    So, anyway after the great hype Java lost its marketshare, and developers were forced to learn another technologies. And of course, instead of looking for language-native way of solving problems, they just used same design patterns.

    And thus MoveAdapterStrategyFactoryFactories were in places where simple lambda function would do the same thing, just not abstracted away three layers above. Obviously used once in the entire codebase.

    Imo the only really good thing about Java was JVM, while it was not perfect, it actually delivered what it promised.

  • Come to the Linux side of the force

    Jump

  • Because they learned that from hearing, not reading so that makes sense.

  • Based Linus rule

    Jump

  • I already had a huge respect for him for being really pragmatic, but after this post my respect for him climbed a level above I thought wasn't even possible.

    And that's without considering the guy basically made software that runs >99% of modern internet.

  • Please, do not use Brave.

    Jump

  • Brave behaving like Win XP era browser with gazillion toolbars installed, with a pinch of crypto and crypto promoting ads should be a giant red flag.

    FOSS =/= trusted by default. Why are there so many FOSS evangelists, but such a damn tiny part of them are programmers, let alone programmers able to examine a source code behind such a giant codebase as web browser?

    I use Vivaldi, at least their business model is clear, and developer is kind of trusted, and not crypto scammer and homophobe.

  • There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time.

    Jump

  • Not only OS - written using 3D APIs closed source available only for your OS.

  • The Centerer

    Jump

  • Co-pilot?

  • Golang be like

    Jump

  • It is better than in most languages with exceptions, except from languages like Java, that require you to declare that certain method throws certain error.

    It's more tedious in Go, but at the end of the day it's the same thing.

    When I use someone else's code I want to be sure if that thing can throw an error so I can decide what to do with it.

  • Linux rule. Here's my setup or "rice" as the savvy might call it. Not anything fancy but it does what I want it to.

  • You can run some Photoshop versions on Linux, but I would just seek alternatives. I've been using Krita for ages. It's not Photoshop, but it has non-destructive editing unlike GIMP.
