Dumb comparison

baatliwala ,

Gave up, I use USB C to 3.5mm dongle

baatliwala OP ,

And this... is to go even further beyond!

Does anyone care? In all these years I've never seen people complain that their "storage chip" is dead.

baatliwala ,

To be pedantic, you can't upgrade to a new LTS the moment it releases (unless you force it). It's offered to users running the old LTS after 6 months IIRC. It's possible to start with 24.04 from scratch, but you can't upgrade for a while.

baatliwala ,

That's regarded

baatliwala ,

Not OP but I've accidentally fingered another key a split second before hitting enter a few times. It's not implausible.

baatliwala ,

I've never seen Sandeep spelt that way lol

baatliwala ,

That looks bubbly as fuck.

baatliwala ,

It was a great feature, would allow you to follow people with similar interests and create your own custom categorised circles.

baatliwala ,

how many people were still using the first Pixel, we saw that actually, there’s quite a good active user base until probably about the seven-year mark.

Definitely not me spoofing all my old devices to be a Pixel 1 for the Google Photos hack, nope...

From what I've understood SSPL is a ridiculously ambiguous license, it's extreme copyleft. It's not just "open source the tooling you use to host the software", it can also be interpreted to mean "open source all the hardware and firmware you use to host the software". No one wants to risk going to court for that so corporate wants to use SSPL licensed software.

AGPL is the best license you can go for IMO.

Exclusive: Google Pixel 8a boasts 120Hz display, Tensor G3, DisplayPort output, better availability ( www.androidauthority.com )

Wonder if they'll use a rigid OLED panel like they did on the 7a and 8a. Dylan Raga wrote an excellent piece reviewing the Pixel 8's display where he said they'd finally switched to a flexible OLED panel on the regular model.

It probably won't because it would be much superior than whatever crap Google has in their flagship line. Big G won't like it if their budget phone is actually better at things than their top of the line model. If it changes, then expect it to change in the main series first.

baatliwala OP ,

Normally I'd complain but this feature was ass and never accurate for use. It needed Maps integration of some kind at the very least or I'd never be sure if I was calling the correct place.

baatliwala OP ,

Why does this seem real lol

baatliwala ,

Obsidian is one of those applications I sooo want to install because everyone loves it, but to me if I'm going through the pain of selfhosting I want to go FOSS only. Argh!

baatliwala ,

In very basic terms - GPL means that any modifications you make to a code base and distribute to public, you need to keep the license as GPL and open source all your modifications.

Once cloud started becoming a thing, the cloud vendors went "Well ackchyually🤓, the code changes we're making are hosted on OUR server so we're not technically distributing them to the public. So fuck you we have no obligation to make them open source".

Which is why AGPL exists so even server side code needs to be public. Since the application in question here is a backend service, it'll always be used server side and so any forks need to be open source.

baatliwala ,

These are definitely Pokemon.

baatliwala ,

Normally a breaking change means after you apply the change it's not easy/straightforward to rollback to the older version if you want to do that for whatever reason.

For example, a new version is released and underlying database table or structure changes. You upgrade properly, and find the new version has some bugs (or you simply don't like it). If you want to use the older version again until the newer one is fixed it's not a matter of simply point to old version.

As the database structure has fundamentally changed underneath in the new version, when you put back the old version it simply doesn't understand the new structure and might stop working. You need ways to be able to make the DB structure compatible with the older application.

If the application is stable the devs might provide ways to do this. But since this is an alpha... You're on your own.

TL;DR it means the older and newer version of the application aren't strictly compatible with each other

baatliwala ,

They better merge all those leftover documentation updates and typo fixes in this release cycle to make that happen.

baatliwala ,

It's weird but I'm siding with the company on this one. With what little context we've been given the dev sounds like a stereotypical reddit moderator.

baatliwala ,

From what I understood the company who owns Nginx decided to give CVE ratings to experimental features, but those were for the stable branch. The dev disagreed because they were "experimental" but the company wanted to give them anyway because it was the stable branch used in production.

I don't understand what was so bad about this direction that the company wanted to take that the dev threw a hissy fit about corpos bad, decided to leave, and start his own fork. It's an insane overreaction IMO, maybe I've misunderstood something so IDK which is why my opinion is that the dev is a moron.

baatliwala ,

Barely 2 years ago I noticed that people were posting porn on Insta, and it was publicly visible just because they tagged as . I don't think this is possible now, but basically corporations are dumb and people posting disallowed content can be creative as hell.

baatliwala ,

I thought this was about FIFA

baatliwala ,

Does it? I moved to Boost because I can't load past one page in Jerboa when viewing a community.

baatliwala ,

Don’t kid yourselves, regardless of all your ideals open source only works because it’s free from a monetary perspective.

Companies work on patches to Linux or other software because it primarily benefits themselves, and they only use Linux because it’s free. Companies create hardware on Linux because it’s free. They can manufacturer cheap devices and people will buy them because they were low cost primarily because of the use of FOSS software.

Nearly all of FOSS is funded by corporations whether you like it or not, for the reasons you want to hear or not. The only thing that drives people is money.

baatliwala ,

Why would you want less if you are buying a top of the line phone? Because people sure as hell aren't buying a flagship just for phone calls and texts.

baatliwala OP ,

I mean, they’re not bad starting points really to decide which phone to buy.

baatliwala ,

What? People are already learning what Nearby Share is. Why change the fucking branding?

baatliwala ,

Wtf is Google Chats

baatliwala OP ,

I remember TomTom was starting to pick up in my country with their dedicated GPS units for cars and then the iPhone came and destroyed them all
