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.

It happened a murder of times.

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.

It's in their job description, they're most likely very proud of how their words can swindle the majority. They're greasy and they love it.

More of this, please.

What is the point of living your last 10 years of life bed ridden? This is how I will go.

Unless they create a codec that GPUs are naturally good at, we will inevitably always be a couple of hardware cycles behind.

Please delete this comment. If you're being sarcastic, this is not obvious at all to people who don't know.

He's not losing millions of dollars by being here. A taste of his own medicine should be given in court.

Power. Spending 5 hours a day spamming and commenting is extremely easy compared to actually doing something positive for society.

I think everyone here has demonstrated how a mod is objectively lying or wrong and gotten banned for it. From their point of view, they won. For a loser, winning online arguments is the best feeling in the world.

"unknown" means "not known by most", not just "not known by anyone"

It's always great to see software websites without a damn screenshot of the software doing its job.

It says it can run office, maybe show me how it looks? How can you sell "seamless" and then don't demonstrate. I don't get it.

it turns out

Correct. I never said that it was the right choice, I just said that it was a valid choice for them to make. Lots of companies substantially raise prices and still come up winning.

Netflix doubled their subscription cost since 2008, but market cap did 100x and subscribers are 30x. They even offer fewer good movies than they used to. You may still hate them, but their wallets don't care about your feelings.

> Their business is selling hard drives.

Then either they or you are confused. They make the NAS, not the drives.

No you are. You don't have to make something in order to sell it. Composing materials is a business. Selling packages is a business.

You may choose to make your own bundles at home, some don't have the time and/or skill to do so.

You're acting like this isn't normal business administration: companies push products, companies adjust offerings depending on demand. Ask Oracle how they're still in business and raking in billions.
