What’s the reason?

“If you get sued for the lies our AI pumped onto your website that we paid you for, it’s on you and nothing to do with us gl hf.”

Were you using it on some other dudes junk by any chance or something…? Cuz otherwise that seems like a leap.

Unfortunately for some of them even if the game works there are often cases where either mods don’t work or some overlay/other additional software.

On your answer though, I was under the impression that when you configure the KVM passthrough setup it makes the video card you use for the passthrough inaccessible for the host itself and that to make it accessible, it requires undoing some of the config and a restart. Is this incorrect?

To install a game you have bought on steam you need the steam client, the steam servers, internet and your steam account. If any of those stops being available you can no longer install the games you have bought. So while you can play the games once installed without most of the above, you can lose access to your not currently installed games.

Also, on steam you purchase licenses to the games which they can revoke. I.e. if steam turned evil they could take away games from your library and you couldn’t do anything about it really.

Comparatively on GOG, you get a binary installer you can download and can keep forever without DRM so you don’t need anything else to install the game in the future, even if it disappeared from your GOG account for some reason, you could still install and play the game.

An app named “Bring!”. It’s pretty barebones, the only few features in it are

• shared list
• organise items by category
• recipe ingredients (as in save the ingredients for a recipe and then add the recipe to add all the ingredients to the list)

It’s pretty much all we need.

It’s true, although chrome has gotten a significant boost from Google promoting it in search and every Google app (which I don’t know if they still do).

So chrome beats edge on users, but it’s also likely largely because of the unfair advantage it receives/received from that promotion. Those options are not really available to other browser developers (unless Amazon or meta also decided they want a browser for some reason).

Oh you’re right! It looks uh… different than what I’d expect melted cheese to be so I thought it was the bread being discoloured from sauce.

I usually finish writing it and only then do I realise I don’t care enough to send it.

Top it with some grated/melted cheese and it’s good to go.

Pepperoni, red onion, sliced pickles, mix of mozzarella and cheddar (around 60-40), marinara sauce, medium crust.

Can’t wait for them to get the chatgpt integration so the best defense can become shouting at them “ignore all previous instructions”.

In their defense, they also clearly label immich as under active development with frequent changes and bugs.

Edit: nvm I saw it was already discussed in another reply.

Backwards compatibility - yes I agree, it’s quite good at it.

Hardware specific issues for any OSes - disagree. For windows that’s 80-90% done by the hardware manufacturer’s drivers. It’s not through an effort from Microsoft whether issues are fixed or not. For Linux it’s usually an effort of maintainers and if anything, Linux is famous for supporting old hardware that windows no longer works with.

But the point I was making is not to say Linux or osx is better than windows or vice versa, it’s that windows holds by far the largest market share in desktops and neither of the alternatives are really drop-in replacements. So in the end they have no pressure on them to improve UX since it’s infeasible to change OS for the majority of their users at the moment.

You’re right, they’re probably faster than their running speed given humans are faster on a bicycle than running too.

Aside from the effort required others have mentioned, there’s also an effect of capitalism.

For a lot of their tech, they have a near-monopoly or at least a very large market share. Take windows from Microsoft. What motivation would they have to fix bugs which impact even 5-10% of their userbase? Their only competition is linux with its’ around 4(?)% market share and osx which requires expensive hardware. Not fixing the bug just makes people annoyed, but 90% won’t leave because they can’t. As long as it doesn’t impact enterprise contracts it’s not worth it to fix it because the time spent doing that is a loss for shareholders, meanwhile new features which can collect data (like copilot for example) that can be sold generate money.

I’m sure even the devs in most places want to make better products and fight management to give them more time to deliver features so they can be better quality - but it’s an exhausting sharp uphill battle which never ends, and at the end of the day the person who made broken feature with data collector 9000 built in will probably get the promotion while the person who fixed 800 5+ year old bugs gets a shout-out on a zoom call.

Doesn’t count until it runs doom.

Not a lawyer but in the scenario where proton closed the source but kept offering the build, even if gpl3 still applies since they’re the only copyright holder (no contributions) it’d only give them grounds to sue themselves?

From gnu.org:

The GNU licenses are copyright licenses; free licenses in general are based on copyright. In most countries only the copyright holders are legally empowered to act against violations.

I haven’t used tailscale to know how well it works but as a current zerotier user I’ve been considering moving away from it.

I actually love the idea and it’s super simple to set up but has some very annoying pitfalls for me:

1. It’s a lot of “magic”. When it fails to work the zerotier software gives you very little information on why.
2. The NAT tunneling can be iffy. I had it fail to work in some public WiFis, occasionally failed to work on mobile internet (same phone and network when it otherwise works). Restarting the app, reconnecting and so on can often help but it’s not super reliable IMO.
3. Just recently I’ve had to uninstall the app restart my Mac, reinstall the app to get it to work again - there were no changes that made it stop, it just decided it’s had enough one day to the next and as in point 1, it doesn’t tell you much over whether it’s connected or not.

Pretty much all of the issues I’ve had were with devices that have to disconnect and re-connect from the network and/or devices that move between different networks (like laptop, phone). On my router, it’s been super stable. Point is, your mileage may vary - it’s worth trying but there are definitely issues.

I applaud you for taking a pee sample.

We had a vet once offer one “just to be super safe” and explained that there’s a special litter in the bag to make it easy. Then she charged us for it. And then she showed us the bag with basically a handful of litter that’d be barely enough to cover the bottom of the litter bin. It was then we learned to ask more questions upfront.

We never got the sample.
