With this particular concert, no, they’re spending company money (which otherwise could have gone to employees) for themselves.

But Linux is a registered trademark, too.

Snutt explains that in the video even. They will enter (closed) beta soon.

If you don’t want to communicate with non-Signal users and are always within range of a public or known Wifi network where ever you are in Afghanistan, then I guess this is fine.

Mostly because they have to wait for Half-Life 3 in order not to confuse the customers.

I don’t think it’s the passport thing. The differences between European passports are minor, so in that matter you surely could accept all EU nationalities. If you really want the best ones, then Sweden, Finland, France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland are among the ones that bring you the farthest in the world, and those are not in the list, while Greece and Norway are less powerful passports, and the USA, Canada and Australia even less, and all of them are in the list.

Of course it could be one or multiple specific countries they want you to travel, but chances for that are low. Clearance sounds much more likely.

Not having 60 fps might be an issue for a shooter or anything that is built on fast reactions, but it doesn’t really sound like an issue in a city builder.

Isn’t Lemmy primarily a link sharing network?

I didn’t read it, so I didn’t share it initially, but this was the article I saw earlier:

No. There are studies about that, see e.g. https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/misinformation-desk/202212/study-few-people-read-what-they-share for a more recent one. That’s also why Facebook, Twitter & Co at various times implemented various features trying to push you reading the stuff you post.

This article has been shared a lot when it was published a month ago.

They cut the size down to 30 MB on iOS in 2019, but they’re back to 110 since (on Android, it’s 60 MB).

EDIT: In terms of updates, they are pretty stable at one update a week on both systems.

What will people do? Sue him to provide the promised legal funds they need to sue their employers?

Well, you are right that Microsoft never applied this large-scale, nor does it currently run any underwater datacenters. But project Natick anyway ran for over five years, with the first prototype having been deployed in 2015 and the last one recovered in 2020. So apparently not exactly the definitive future of Microsoft datacenters, but much more than a photo op.

I’ve been programming with lots of dumb people, and I’m particularly dumb myself, but if you really literally spend hours looking for missed semicolons, then you should give up programming no matter if this means more time for date nights or more time to look at the wall.

Best I can offer is a combined UI and logic class with 12,500 lines currently. It started out with less than 3,000 lines in the year 2000 (using the brand new Java 1.3), grew to 14,000 over time and survived our recent project-wide one-year cleanup project with only minor losses of code lines.
