Those Firefox figures are abysmal. Argh.

I bet breaking the giant up into much smaller pieces would be a more efficient way to make them do less evil

Because expensive headphones tend to have drivers with higher impedance, meaning they produce less volume at the same current versus a lower impedance set.

That’s true for wired headphones, at least. For anything wireless, they have a secondary amplifier not in your phone, so then the phone really really has no idea.

In case anyone is curious what a screwworm infection can do to, say, a human…

These things are terrifying. Watch at your own peril.

Well now… TIL!

Fair – what I meant was more about the Teams binary kind of not being needed at all (you can use the web version without it). So having a Linux binary explicitly just seems a little weird, marketing aside.

I think MS assumes no one will use it. But having Linux builds of some of their software enhances their “MS loves Linux” marketing.

Teams is another example.

Kicad is up there with the paid options for electronic schematic drafting / PCB design. I don’t use a lot of KDE stuff since I also don’t use KDE, but Kicad is absolutely essential for me.

Now I’m definitely sticking with LaTeX. Thanks.

business part of it

This is the part I don’t want.

It is, perhaps, the only thing he touches that is made in the USA.

I bet Tim Apple is really happy about his large donation to the Trump inauguration.

Then again, if you’re that rich, maybe having some intelligence and foresight should be an expectation. If you don’t have those things, maybe you shouldn’t be rich.

That said, for a 25% tariff, it isn’t even close. Still far cheaper for Apple to manufacture outside of the US and pass that additional cost to the US consumer.

Is it just me, or does that sound like a monopoly?

Do any creatives attempt to create assets for another platform?

I’m really not blaming creatives on this one. Obviously they need to make money. But this seems like a clear case of advantage being taken against one skillset by virtue of monopoly.

I’d say it seems like the key issue affecting creatives, if AI didn’t exist.

As an outsider: how did we get to a point where every creator is limited to one box?

For those non-USians reading this, the pattern is: states which tend to vote Republican and thus have majority Republican governance. So called “red states”.

Is it the case that most creatives cancel their subs when they get that job? Does the job have a site license (assuming Adobe even allows site licenses)?

It won’t stop until creatives stop paying.

There are alternative tools available, but the number of people I have seen not want to learn a new UI is high. Adobe knows this, so they continue to raise prices.

Should have just used AI, at least then people could debate whether or not it was plagiarism

Starfield would be fine if there was a way to get from place to place without constant reloads. This is a limitation of the (ancient) engine the game is on, as I understand it.

The thing is, we already have games like No Man’s Sky which do this very well. Starfield may have been better received if it came out 15 years ago, but against modern space games, it just sucks.

That’s ignoring anything else wrong with the game, of course, and there is plenty. But I could get over a lot if it didn’t feel like I was playing a menu instead of flying a spaceship at every change of scenery.

Shouldn’t they be paying the people who’s info was stolen?

They have their deets, just send everyone cash

All of this will be used by the current administration to push privatization of ATC.
