  • Don't make a mistake in choosing a distro

  • No, there is not. Updating through terminal still bypasses it and I don't mind so much seeing how my mother might accidentally power it off in the middle an important update otherwise. Most people know not to hit the power button when the scary load bar pops up with a message saying please do not power off system.

  • Apple announced RCS with a whimper when it should have been a bang

  • Back in the day the whole presentation was about it though. Now says they don't talk about the toolkits and stuff in the actual presentations with demos and examples like they used to. Infact it was the job of most tech journalist to pull out the relevant information to the user because the focus was almost entirely developer focused.

    They did announce hardware at the very beginning though. It was often followed by statistics on how many developers were actively developing for the platform and the revenue developers made as a whole so on and so forth.

    I remember them explaining push notifications, how it works, what you might want to implement it for and tried to sell the fact it didn't really hit battery life much because it was pushed from apples servers etc. the whole presentation that was an hour long on technologies like coco demonstrating the fluidity and speed of the new tools and how they dramatically reduced the install size while improving stability etc. there was a 20 minute section on how apples iad's were going to make developers more money while reducing overhead and had a downloadable demo in the app store.

  • It was originally for developers and press but it's mostly for investors and press now. They practically never talk about APIs and tooling anymore.

    The place users are expected to learn about the products are in ads, on the website, their favorite news outlet, or the apple store. No regular customer even bothers sitting through a 3 hour presentation.

  • Why does it bother you, the presentation is made for investors. Investors want to know if Apple will still be able to compete in the European market and that's all they really had to show.

  • They also released a borderline useless posix subsystem to get government contracts that only authorized the purchase of posix compliant systems.

    Windows subsystem for Linux is pretty much the modern version of that. Before it was partially based on openbsd and called windows subsystem for unix. The original was NT posix subsystem and was hastly hacked together to just barely support the standards required by the US government. If I remember right there was zero user facing utilities it only supported compiling posix compatible code.

    It's quite fascinating history. Also Apple just ported unix system V to Macintosh, heavily modified x server, some Macintosh app compatibility, and called it A/UX. Actually apples version of unix was fully featured and seems nicer than system 7 it ran beside.

  • Yeah, I know it's not an excuse but I'm lazy and this guarantees even the individuals I watch irregularly gets their share. I've heard it even pays out if it's demonetized (don't take my word on that one though.)

  • And that's why I don't pay for steaming services, I buy DVDs and put them on my server. Don't ask me what happens when I can't buy a DVD/blueray.

  • Nah, I have my limits. I have a movie server and most of my favorite shows, I'm gonna be fine.

  • The biggest reason I pay for it is supposedly creators I watch get paid significantly more than someone who sits through ads without skipping. I also don't really watch regular TV.

  • Again it would be dead to me if it happened. I wouldn't pay more for what I get now.

  • You can learn any workflow. Adobe Photoshop was pretty alien to me the first time I used it in school. The thing that made it easier was how good the documentation was on adobes website. I recommend anyone try krita to see if it works better for them.

    I've heard it's not as feature rich as gimp but more people coming from Photoshop seem to like it.

  • Move over, Ford and Chevy: Kei trucks are pulling up as customers opt for smaller, cheaper vehicles

  • I'd love to ride a train to work. Play on my steam deck on the way home and not have to worry about getting stuck in traffic for hours. Visiting Washington DC and riding the metro everywhere ruined me, now I look at a five lane at road and say "This is bullshit!".

  • I think someone who tried to do that might just disappear in this day and age. Don't ask gen-z, we won't know.

  • Sometimes you need a few developers getting paid full time to truly get a project like DXVK off the ground. Some of the biggest open source projects wouldn't even exist without the time and money from companies that actively support it.
