Do you mean Buying = believing Or Buying = buying

Because I think the real problem here is that people actually are buying=buying and that’s why they keep doing it.

You might be right, probably worth looking into. I just have so little time to invest in new titles or any learning curve or really any game that takes a ton of grinding before it’s fun

Let me share my Xbox experience? I’m mid-40s. Owned Xboxes since literally the OG Xbox 1.

I originally bought this thing to play with my brother split screen. Nowadays I want to play split screen with my son.

Yet somehow there’s no fucking split screen games anymore. The last two or three AAA games I purchased I played for a few hours and then never loaded again.

And the other day when I loaded up call of duty Black ops 3 to play zombies (this is like a 10 year old game now) I found that because I let my Xbox Gold live whatever the fuck subscription expire, I can’t play “online” and use my unlocked items even though I’m doing local play.

So from this guy what in the fucking fuck xbox. This is some kind of device designed to clean out my wallet for eternity and not deliver what I actually want.

I pretty much exclusively use my Xbox as a YouTube player now.

Makes sense, it seems like Caddy is like a Swiss army knife and nginx is now the whole Home Depot.

A decade ago or so nginx was the swiss army knife to Apache

I’m an old school nginx pro. So I keep using nginx for reverse proxies because it’s what I know. What does caddy have to offer (or traefik is anyone wants to jump in)? Are they just optimized for this function and more modern?

All these minorities may share a common problem yet it’s unlikely they have the same vision for the solution.

If he’d tried to nurture some goodwill, perhaps the users wouldn’t so harshly reject all attempts at monetization.

Perhaps then he’d be able to afford yachts that don’t look so puny next to those of other social media oligarchs and could go to bed with the satisfaction of having made a profit at least once in his life.

It’s really wild that the guy who co-founded Reddit is so universally hated by the users.

Talk about having completely lost touch.

That’s actually pretty cool. That thing might be forgot about and then found again 10,000 years from now

Is that car in some kind of orbit, or did we just send it?

There are at least 2 of us! I think it was widely reported that the downfall of MySpace was at least partially linked to their use Coldfusion. When they needed to scale and adapt it just wasn’t ready.

I remember that IBM was famously missing the trend in the late 80s/90s and couldn’t understand why regular consumers would ever want to buy a PC. It’s why they gave the PC clone market away, never seriously approached their OS/2 thing, and never really marketed directly to anybody except businesses.

Microsoft really pushed the idea that regular people needed a home PC which laid the foundation for so many people already having the hardware in place to jump on the internet as soon as it became accessible.

For a brief moment it looked like a toss up between Microsoft IIS webservers serving up .asp files (or coldfusion .cf - RIP) vs Apache pushing CGI but in the end the Linux solution was more baked and flexible when it was time to launch and scale an internet startup in that era.

Somebody else would have done what Microsoft did for sure, had they not been there, and I suppose we could be paying AT&T for Unix licenses these days too. But yeah, ultimately both Gates and Torvalds were right in terms of operating systems and well timed.

Both Torvalds and Gates are nerds… Gates decided to monetize it and Torvalds decided to give it away.

But without Microsoft’s “PC on every desktop” vision for the '90s, we may not have seen such an increased demand for server infrastructure which is all running the Linux kernel now.

Arguably Torvalds’ strategy had a greater impact than Gates because now many of us carry his kernel in our pocket. But I think both needed each other to get where we are today.

Websockets are often used for quality of life features like notifications and websites that are dynamic without needing to be refreshed. Almost went website with any kind of chat will use WS for example. Turning it off will make web browsing a little more annoying.

However websockets are also sometimes used for anti-fraud related software that can also leak information you may deem private. Disabling websockets might prevent that data from getting out but of course all this depends on your threat model.

Yes. Nobody wants to be first because they and the next xx% will be the sacrifice.

Yes

It’s an interesting observation. Chinese tend to run scrappy operations with something like a “do it no matter what, ethics be damned” strategy.

But it doesn’t bode too well for OpenAIs current level given how much funding and talent they presumably have.

E:\mp3

Ctrl+Shift+V in KeePassXC should autotype username and password in another window, but I believe is still broken out of the box on Wayland.

There may be some workaround that I haven’t tried yet.

Ok I’m a proponent of right to repair and despise manufacturing techniques that lock repair shops out, make spare parts from 3rd parties impossible to install, or create planned obsolescence, or any shenanigans like this. It’s basically anti-everybody else and suggests weakness and fear instead of quality and strength.

But help me understand how it’s possible that our “free market” is enabling this, unless it’s just a controlled market charading as free?

Is John Deere giving the hardware away for free to those who sign long term subscriptions or something?

If John Deere is the Apple-esque ecosystem of tractors where is the “PC” diy manufacture and why doesn’t the market support them.
