> that server is almost certainly going to be a VM and not bare metal

I understand that this is normal but I've never understood it.

If all the containers are running the same company's applications (so they don't care about security boundaries between them), what's the difference between having all the containers under the same kernel vs separate kernels?

> Remember how when google bought youtube for 1.65 billions people thought they are crazy? Or when facebook bought instagram.

I think these are good examples: in both of those cases the buyer had a plan to monetize.

If you are a user of Cursor, expect to pay more for it or switch.

There are many trainfuls of people who still write code using traditional syntax-based IDE completion.

I think this comment got attached to the wrong article somehow. Not relevant here but probably relevant to "Enough with the AI FOMO, go slow-mo, says Domo CDO"[0]

This is partly due to having a safety factor: i.e. using twice as much steel as you think you need.

Understanding means knowing the limits of your own understanding, and building in safeguards.

General Motors contributed significantly to the decline of passenger rail in the USA.

Linux is a global project, and open source more broadly is also of course global.

Linux Mint (the distro I use) was started and is led by French developer Clement Lefebvre.

QEMU and FFmpeg are among the notable projects started by French developer Fabrice Bellard.

VLC was started by students of École Centrale Paris.

These are just the things that I know about as an American, so I'm sure there are more.

Driver support seems to me like it could be an advantage over Linux.

Does anyone here know the current state of installing a browser on ReactOS?

It kind of makes sense for it to be a partnership with Back Market, which also sells used hardware.

That way, the ChromeOS USB key can be an add on to the purchase of some old laptop that can barely run Windows anymore.

> Unless you're paranoid about an OEM backdoor

Lenovo does have a history with installing a very obvious spyware rootkit on their consumer PCs[0].

> people who have never used the product and don't think like or accurately represent our users

I agree completely that these are the important qualifications to be setting direction for a product.

> Find your most socially competent engineer, and have them talk to users a couple times a month.

This doesn't necessarily follow from the above, but in Anthropic's case specifically, where the users are software engineers, it probably would have worked better than whatever they have going on now.

In general, it's probably better to have domain experts doing product management, as opposed to someone who is trained in product management.

I think a URL and screenshot would be way more useful than a bunch of text for that use case.

> How is the Rocket Chat mobile app?

I thought it was fine, but I can't compare to the Mattermost app since I've never tried to use that.

If you are looking for another self-hostable alternative to Slack, Rocket chat[0] is also worth looking at.

I wasn't involved in any of the Dev Ops aspect when my former employer used them, but the search function actually worked which is better than I can say for Slack.

This exists, it is called the NexDock[0]. I have never tried it.

I like the retro theme.

Could you expand on why you describe Hyprland and XFCE4 as "a cursed combination"? Might provide some insight as to why the official XFCE project decided to create their own compositor.

Enshittification puts the focus on the users of the product as the product gets worse.

Ensheetification puts the focus on what's happening within the business to cause this.

Since they claim to be a Swedish company, it might be worth filing a report with the Swedish consumer agency[0].

I am not a lawyer, and especially not a Swedish lawyer, so I can't say how illegal this is in Sweden or what if anything will happen.

Sure, just look at the famous question about how to parse HTML with Regex[0].

Since this question has received so much attention, even the bottom answer has a positive score. Otherwise the pattern looks typical.
