Microsoft still makes money off the OEM licenses AFAIK. The Linux community had a whole day about this back in the 90s.
The challenge, demand satisfaction
If they apologize, no need for further action
You know i think i understand companies sometimes but then i keep being baffeld at how evil a company can be.
Apple for example had me surprised with the reaction to the DMA and i previously thought that they couldn‘t possibly suck harder wirh alö their anti-repair stuff.
I still have a bone to pick with Tim Cook himself for rendering my well working Mac Mini 2012 unusable for my app development job by simply not updating Xcode and introducing a breaking change that prevented me from adding support for new iOS versions to old Xcode.
Don‘t you just hate it when
When capitalism
To think there was a time when IMO Apple could convince people with great products.
(Macintosh SE explodes in the background due to overheating)
Then again i‘ve mostly seen old Apple computers on Youtube.
Don‘t forget the Core Technology Fee they will raise if you do wish to offer your app outside of the app store and you weren‘t qualified for the Apple Developer Enterprise program.
And don‘t forget that in order to be eligible for sideloading you have to have at least one million downloads on the App Store.
And don‘t forget that your app still has to go through the App Review process so you have exactly no additional freedom if you live in the european economical area.
I sure hope the EU keeps kicking Apples ass. I love iOS but i hate the lack of freedom.
Btw, does anyone know whether visionOS even supports sideloading in the EEA.
I wonder why ad tech can‘t be „Let‘s show ads that correspond to what‘s being talked about on that website.“ Kinda like what Google suggested with Topics but without following me through the internet.
It’s fine. Transitioning to Couchbase was fine. Was a bit weird getting used to NoSQL… Oh you mean my hormone therapy!
Oh, would you look at the time! It’s the year of the fediverse!
The Satanic Temple be like: “It’s free real estate”
I had such an apologetic coming up to me. When i told them my name was “‘Julia’); DROP TABLE neighborhoods;” they were immediately irate!
Nah, they prefer prescriptivism. Actually, Terf Island still makes sense from that lens.
I’m not sure, but there’s a descriptivism/prescriptivism joke in there somewhere.
There is a single aspect in which the Switch remains superior: Simplicity. Sure, you could take the time once to set up Yuzu and your Switch games and be rewarded with superior performance.
But the technically less experienced user might be put off by the fact that you can‘t just plonk in the game and play it. That‘s however not exclusive to the Switch.
I tried downloading Switch games from uuuuh… rather bespoke sites and they had a rather uuuuh… curious idea of what ads you could throw into the users face. Vivaldi‘s integrated adblocker simply couldn‘t handle those sites. That discouraged me from downloading games for now. Luckily MIG-Dumper is there to save the day and allow me to back up my games to later play them in Yuzu.
Isn‘t the battery simply mounted with sticky tape and thanks to the case being screwed in still fessibly replaceable by the user?
I guess that means trans people can shit wherever they want to in public.
You gotta get schwifty!
The EU forced Microsoft to offer a browser picker dialog. I’ve been wondering where that went and according to Wikipedia that judgement that compelled Microsoft to make the browser picker has expired. And thus… Microsoft dropped it immediately.
I think i remember that America stood for freedom. Or was i being Mandela’d again like back when people said Pyrocynical had a weird TF2 Pyro skin?
Paul: “How could you eat MY face?”
Carl: “It’s quite simple actually: I took a look at your face, found it tasty, tool a little bite and ate it.”
Paul: “That doesn’t answer my question!”
Carl: “I remember you specifically giving me permission to, and i quote, ‘eat all these faces’.”
Paul: “Yeah, i was hoping that you wouldn’t eat MY face! The face of your buddy, your best friend, your… soulmate.”
Carl: “You could have been a bit more specific then. Now your face is gone. I ate it. And it was quite delicious.”
Paul: “… Caaaaaarl.”
Carl: “Really delicious! Yum!”
I recently visited a museum and i really loved it. Getting up close to an image and seeing none of the fuzziness, no AI “shimmer” on photos and every stroke made sense (as in you could see that an arm moved a brush and you could see the path it took etc.). Hands made sense. And while tryptichons were not exactly precise when it comes to the anatomy of humans, no humans had anything smeared etc.
