What’s the reason?

Were you using it on some other dudes junk by any chance or something…? Cuz otherwise that seems like a leap.

An app named “Bring!”. It’s pretty barebones, the only few features in it are

• shared list
• organise items by category
• recipe ingredients (as in save the ingredients for a recipe and then add the recipe to add all the ingredients to the list)

It’s pretty much all we need.

Yes, chrome certainly had other merits too. Neither of us can say with certainty why it succeeded. Personally, I don’t think a crap browser pushed by Google would have but also an amazing browser pushed by an unknown independent developer would have either.

Certainly agree with your 2nd point though.

It’s true, although chrome has gotten a significant boost from Google promoting it in search and every Google app (which I don’t know if they still do).

So chrome beats edge on users, but it’s also likely largely because of the unfair advantage it receives/received from that promotion. Those options are not really available to other browser developers (unless Amazon or meta also decided they want a browser for some reason).

Oh you’re right! It looks uh… different than what I’d expect melted cheese to be so I thought it was the bread being discoloured from sauce.

I usually finish writing it and only then do I realise I don’t care enough to send it.

Top it with some grated/melted cheese and it’s good to go.

Pepperoni, red onion, sliced pickles, mix of mozzarella and cheddar (around 60-40), marinara sauce, medium crust.

Can’t wait for them to get the chatgpt integration so the best defense can become shouting at them “ignore all previous instructions”.

In their defense, they also clearly label immich as under active development with frequent changes and bugs.

Edit: nvm I saw it was already discussed in another reply.

Backwards compatibility - yes I agree, it’s quite good at it.

Hardware specific issues for any OSes - disagree. For windows that’s 80-90% done by the hardware manufacturer’s drivers. It’s not through an effort from Microsoft whether issues are fixed or not. For Linux it’s usually an effort of maintainers and if anything, Linux is famous for supporting old hardware that windows no longer works with.

But the point I was making is not to say Linux or osx is better than windows or vice versa, it’s that windows holds by far the largest market share in desktops and neither of the alternatives are really drop-in replacements. So in the end they have no pressure on them to improve UX since it’s infeasible to change OS for the majority of their users at the moment.

Aside from the effort required others have mentioned, there’s also an effect of capitalism.

For a lot of their tech, they have a near-monopoly or at least a very large market share. Take windows from Microsoft. What motivation would they have to fix bugs which impact even 5-10% of their userbase? Their only competition is linux with its’ around 4(?)% market share and osx which requires expensive hardware. Not fixing the bug just makes people annoyed, but 90% won’t leave because they can’t. As long as it doesn’t impact enterprise contracts it’s not worth it to fix it because the time spent doing that is a loss for shareholders, meanwhile new features which can collect data (like copilot for example) that can be sold generate money.

I’m sure even the devs in most places want to make better products and fight management to give them more time to deliver features so they can be better quality - but it’s an exhausting sharp uphill battle which never ends, and at the end of the day the person who made broken feature with data collector 9000 built in will probably get the promotion while the person who fixed 800 5+ year old bugs gets a shout-out on a zoom call.

Not a lawyer but in the scenario where proton closed the source but kept offering the build, even if gpl3 still applies since they’re the only copyright holder (no contributions) it’d only give them grounds to sue themselves?

From gnu.org:

The GNU licenses are copyright licenses; free licenses in general are based on copyright. In most countries only the copyright holders are legally empowered to act against violations.

I haven’t used tailscale to know how well it works but as a current zerotier user I’ve been considering moving away from it.

I actually love the idea and it’s super simple to set up but has some very annoying pitfalls for me:

1. It’s a lot of “magic”. When it fails to work the zerotier software gives you very little information on why.
2. The NAT tunneling can be iffy. I had it fail to work in some public WiFis, occasionally failed to work on mobile internet (same phone and network when it otherwise works). Restarting the app, reconnecting and so on can often help but it’s not super reliable IMO.
3. Just recently I’ve had to uninstall the app restart my Mac, reinstall the app to get it to work again - there were no changes that made it stop, it just decided it’s had enough one day to the next and as in point 1, it doesn’t tell you much over whether it’s connected or not.

Pretty much all of the issues I’ve had were with devices that have to disconnect and re-connect from the network and/or devices that move between different networks (like laptop, phone). On my router, it’s been super stable. Point is, your mileage may vary - it’s worth trying but there are definitely issues.

Would you accept a certificate issued by AWS (Amazon)? Or GCP (Google)? Or azure (Microsoft)? Do you visit websites behind cloudflare with CF issued certs? Because all 4 of those certificates are free. There is no identity validation for signing up for any of them really past having access to some payment form (and I don’t even think all of them do even that). And you could argue between those 4 companies it’s about 80-90% of the traffic on the internet these days.

Paid vs free is not a reliable comparison for trust. If anything, non-automated processes where a random engineer just gets the new cert and then hopefully remembers to delete it has a number of risk factors that doesn’t exist with LE (or other ACME supporting providers).

I applaud you for taking a pee sample.

We had a vet once offer one “just to be super safe” and explained that there’s a special litter in the bag to make it easy. Then she charged us for it. And then she showed us the bag with basically a handful of litter that’d be barely enough to cover the bottom of the litter bin. It was then we learned to ask more questions upfront.

We never got the sample.

Yeah nah. I thought your comment was probably the reasonable middle ground until I watched the footage too.

The police has 100% needlessly escalated to violence and fully on a power trip. They have not provided any reason for asking the window to be rolled down - nor did they have any. You can see into the car even though there’s a lot of glare on the camera, most likely even better vision for a person. They made no attempt to explain any reasoning for the request to persuade him. Once on the ground and being cuffed, they proceeded to shout at him “when we tell you to do something you do it, not what you want”. That’s not how it works.

He didn’t even try to resist the arrest but they treated him with quite a bit of force. They didn’t listen at all when he called out he had an injury and needs more time to comply with the order of sitting down.

Yes, Tyreek did himself no favours with his attitude but he has also done absolutely nothing to deserve this treatment. He wasn’t even particularly rude to the cops, his mistake seemed to be not to act fully deferential to a cop on a power trip, which is absolutely no reason to treat anyone like this.

It still has one specific usecase where I find it better - when you need more than 2 beds. We use it when on holiday with my friends because usually getting an Airbnb with 3-4 beds is way cheaper than hotel rooms.

But in pretty much all other cases… yep, would much rather have a hotel. Last time I had a host who took electric meter readings and charged you for the electricity… luckily it was negligible since the oven was broken.

English is actually my second language - so thank you!
