Depends on the topic. Friend recently said that his old PC will no longer receive Windows 10 security updates soon and he wants to try Linux, and just wanted quick advice. I had plans but I was over at his house within 10 minutes

Yeah but it doesn’t matter if Google developed webP. They can make their own 2.0 version of any open standard. That’s why the comment you replied to was replying to is nonsense

From what I’ve read, AVIF doesn’t outperform JXL on any metric except browser support

I mean yeah but capitalism made it such that everybody needs a little fucking advertisement mind control spying machine in their pocket. Without capitalism I wouldn’t have a smartphone and if I did, I would at least actually own the thing.

You don’t need to be involved in an open standard to extend it in your own standard. It really doesn’t matter who made the open standard, it’s open. If Google decides to extend the standard, the old standard will still be around for everybody to use. In the same vein it doesn’t matter who developed XMPP, Google would have extended it one way or another.

EEE is a terrible thing but I don’t see how using an open image standard has anything to do with that

Idk Google for sure does a lot of that but do open image standards give them any control?

Yeah true. Some ppl around here will happily call anyone a liberal the moment they criticize the CCP though

The meme is criticizing the fact that defenders of capitalism and/or haters of communism are often hypocritical in their argumentation. I would argue this meme isn’t even strictly pro-communist. Also yankees hate communism more than anyone lol

This meme reads as a criticism of capitalism and common anti-communist rhetoric. It doesn’t do any apologia for authoritarians, which is what usually sets off the “libs”

I’d wager most people here at least somewhat agree with your view, you’re being downvoted because you’re rambling like a maniac, wtf are you talking about wanting to kill some rando. Take a chill pill and make a contribution rather than using us as your void to scream into. No need to insult everybody either

Neither does my boss, he’s not completely delusional. He’s a dev himself. He’s just the normal amount of technooptimist delusional, luckily

I agree. When I said we I really meant the tankies. I often tend to say “we” rather than “you” for some reason

That’s just nuance and working with the public. He’s literally pro-palestinian. I don’t understand why we need to paint everybody as an enemy because, what, they haven’t asked for the expulsion of every last Israeli?

That would make sense if it didn’t use a Windows file path :D

Wait I’m confused is this about people developing cloud software or is this about people who do their development on a remote cloud machine? It seems to be about the latter but I’ve never seen that

What does this have to do with the post?

You can even add the -y flag to skip typing y. Which apparently doesn’t work for pacman judging by the command above

Fuck school. What a terrible institution. It doesn’t produce smart and capable adults. It doesn’t produce adults, period. It produces traumatized overgrown children with no sense of self-worth.

I say this as somebody who did well in school and overall liked going there and didn’t get bullied too much.

After school I had to slowly claw back ownership over my life.

School teaches you that you are one in a million. You are not deserving of special attention. The only way to success is to respect and appeal to authority. You don’t need to learn, you just need to pass. You do not have the ability to influence your social surroundings. You are only equal to your peers, you are below your teachers.

And we wonder why adults are assholes smh

So marine she’s got water in her mouth

Hm I wish there was some more info or research into the credibility of the opposition leaders’ claim. This article reads a little bit like he said she said without telling us any of the facts.

Thanks for posting, News from this part of the world is so important we don’t read enough of it
