Apparently, they didn’t know it by heart. If they had, they wouldn’t have had to spend all that time searching.

Good rice, well prepared, needs no sauce. Ketchup wouldn’t even enter my mind.

What, “vice president” is too long, but VP too short?

Of course there’s also that other solution. You know, the one the rest of the world uses.

Agreed, koala friend. Agreed.

Thank you. I was thoroughly confused by this title and the article’s use of “grandfathered”.

I work on software which is pirated. It is even sold by crackers, who make money off my work. This does not make me proud.

What does make me proud is when a paying customer says they love a specific feature, or that our software saves them a lot of manual work.

I did, once. It didn’t work.

People trust a squid predicting football matches.

Exactly this. My small Reddit communities had a few posts per day. The equivalent on Lemmy have a few per year. Still, I don’t miss them enough to go back.

That’s the commenter’s point: YouTube might not be replaced, but that doesn’t mean it cannot disappear.

10 years ago is giving Apple too much credit. They were using Intel processors then, ARM now. For now, you can still run Intel applications, but that won’t last much longer.

More importantly, a 10 year old application is likely to use Carbon instead of Cocoa. Unless it’s an extremely simple application (i.e. hello world), it is unlikely to run.

Then there’s the depreciation of resource forks, a new filesystem, tons and tons of extra security restrictions, etc.

Are we sure that either of these exist? Maybe sharks and camels are just AI generated.

Removed ‘/dev/null’. You wouldn’t believe how many things rely on /dev/null.

It’s also ‘its’.

I never see Vivaldi mentioned in these. Yes, it’s chromium based, but I have not seen a single YouTube ad since they implemented built-in ad block many years ago. Without the need for extensions, plug-ins, or user managed block lists.

In theory, yes. However last time I tried Assassin’s Creed 1 (I think about 3 years ago now), it crashed at startup trying to reach a service that no longer existed. I had to disconnect the network, start the game, then reconnect. After this it worked fine.

The article is quite hard to read. I think it comes down to this: Meta has been arguing that its Terms of Service are enough consent for data collection. European courts disagree: consent has to be explicitly given. Meta has been ignoring this ruling for 5 years now, without much consequence. Now, the EU is starting to clamp down harder - coincidentally just a few weeks before Meta will introduce a new system. In this new system users will get a choice to either consent (explicitly), or pay to use the service without data collection consent. Data privacy advocates believe this would still be illegal. However - personal opinion, not mentioned in the article - this will likely take many more years before it goes to court, let alone before it is enforced. In other words: they keep getting away with it.

I read your comment twice, looking for any tiny mistake to fix. How thoughtless of you not to include any.

I miss windows phone. The user interface was much cleaner and user friendly than any other phone OS I’ve seen. The only problem was it didn’t have the ecosystem of Android or iOS.
