Open source is dead

What in the world?? Surely there must be something more than "generate a HTML page with 500 elements". Any edge cloud hosting lets you do that for free.

Please take a look at the percentage of paying Android users. It just does not compare. It's useless to count 2 billion users in third world countries who never have and never will pay anything in-app.

Wouldn't the 737 Air have a lower chance of hitting debris head on?

I had my first digital camera in 2003 and my first videocall-capable phone in 2004 (Nec e313). I was a kid

I do use both, but cash has a price to me (no free withdrawals in my country)

The HTML-only web has been dead for years. Documents may be safe, but publishing websites that work without JS is war with no winners.

Kinda funny, I use my credit card for daily transactions because I know it's never declined. On the other hand, I might not have enough cash on me at all times.

Marketing companies don't sell their own stuff, they sell others' stuff.

> Ain't nobody got time to pick models and compare features

Then don't? Seems like a weird thing to complain about.

I just use whatever's available. I like Claude for coding and ChatGPT for generic tasks, that's the extent of my "pick and compare"

Check all the comparisons on their website. They're not comparing their products to the previous gen, they're comparing them to years-old system.

They could sell you a downgrade and still stay 2x M1 Pro performance (it was 4x from last year)

Apple is a marketing company made to sell stuff.

Does not apply.

Cambodia is just a proxy, a land where the Chinese gangs act with impunity. Earned with slave work, money is laundered in casinos and no Cambodian is seeing a cent of it.

Might as well say "nearly unfathomable amount of money in Congo" because that's just how disconnected the money is to the country.

That's what you get when people travel to that one point they saw on Instagram. People crossing the world to take that exact photo a million people before them took.

It's incredible to me that they killed the whole tool instead of making a JS/Canvas port. Even without "full flash websites", there's still need for vectorial animations on the web.

Gah. Fireworks and Dreamweaver were my "web designer" jumpstart. Ps and Ai had nothing on Fireworks

Whoever took the decision to kill Vine was an absolute moron, even without hindsight. It was square videos, how hard could it have been to shove an ads banner above it and call it a day? Incredible

Arc and its free Arc Mini companion. iOS. Been using it since Facebook eclipsed Moves app. A decade later, it's still not as good as Moves.

Yahoo Pipes was what internet should have been. We're so many decades into computing and that kind of inter-tool linking has only barely been matched by unix pipes.

There's inherently nothing wrong with face recognition, I love being able to search my own photos on my iPhone. If you could keep it private, you totally would too.
