It just became exactly the same, we'll still be relying on the tzdata library and date time functions we're using now.

Yeah and I don't see the comparison with Google either. Valve isn't known for killing profitable products. Steam Machines was just an experiment which came a few years too soon, the technology wasn't there yet, thus Proton and now the actual Steam Machines are a reality.

> corporations are not our friends

While true, good luck living your life without dealing with a corporation.

In fact, you're a dollar sign for your next door shop as well.

Honestly, I'm neutral about kernel level anticheat. I won't play any of those games, but this doesn't mean we should make porting games that make use of these technologies any harder.

I don't think you remember how the internet was 20 years ago very well to make a statement like that.

It is dead. There is some minor admin commits, but most of the activity stopped in 2016.

Google Search has been going downhill _fast_ over the past 5 years or so. Since it's probably incompetence rather than malice, what the heck is going on at Google Search? It seems to me the "let's use AI for everything" camp has taken over the entire place even though it's making Search worse than it ever was.

And please spare me the excuse that now Google can answer questions. It can't, it just answers with snippets extracted from websites it deems relevant, and often the answer is flat out wrong or irrelevant.

I just hope the ML/AI mania that has taken over these big tech companies proves to be a fad that just goes nowhere like it did in the 70s and we return to plain old algorithms and good software engineering.

And Black Pants Legion [1] for some very fun playthroughs of the game. Hail Cargonia!

We have never been very close to integration.

Do you think black people striving for equality are looking for companies putting black people on their ads? They want equality, not their struggle to be washed away by bullshit empty posturing.

"Want to end racism? Stop talking about it. I'll stop calling you a white man if you stop calling me a black man."

All big companies are adopting this kind of behaviour: show we're inclusive by having as few white heterosexual men as possible.

We're still decades away from racial and sexual integration and equality.

Doom Emacs isn't Emacs. My handmade init.el was much lighter than Doom Emacs or Spacemacs ever where. Not really fair comparing a full blown setup with plugin with a barebones VIM one.

Muscle memory doesn't help with "not quite what I'm used to, but it's very close". It doesn't handle conditional statements.

They're not if coded correctly and using the correct redirect/HTTP response code.

Also the app looking fine immediately after refresh (when it's been server-side rendered), then crashes a second later when the JS framework hydrates the HTML and hits a client-side bug.

I don't know about you, but "cookies, querystring parameters, server-side sessions, and form submissions" to me are an order of magnitude simpler, though dated and not very flexible, than any modern JS client-side state and persistency layer.

While there's no reason to send death threats because a game company pulled support for $OS, there's no reason to pull support for $OS because of death threats either.

There's always someone really, incredibly angry on the Internet.

You and me both, friend. I hate reachability with a passion, for the simple fact that when I got my first iPhone I had never heard of the feature, and it's literally taken me 1 year to understand why sometimes my screen would look weird. No amount of Googling or searching the settings helped, until someone mentioned the magic keyword "Reachability". Which then was easy to disable.

So it might be a cool feature, but if you don't know about it you'll go mad trying to understand what is wrong with your phone. And it's not like Apple is good at teaching users about power user gestures. I still feel I'm not using my iPhone at its full capacity yet.

No mention of Bootcamp at all. RIP.

Is this the first time Apple has mentioned Linux and showed GNOME on screen?
