It's no win scenario for developers. While you're ok with "one up front payment and then maybe in app purchases to pay for new features going forward" there's a whole other slew of voices who are going to complain about being nickled and dimed.

Given those choices (and other factors), as a consumer I prefer the subscription model. If nothing else, it lets me forecast my expenditure and continually re-assess the cost/value proposition of the application in question.

So, somebody may have just just SWATted the US Capitol. Going to be interesting to see how this plays out.

There’s not even a way to count words at this juncture never mind anything resembling a rules engine.

TIL... Thanks for the tip. I'm going to search some of that stuff out.

Somebody needs to find whoever was responsible for the original NT task manager and learn a thing or two. That thing was bulletproof. I had servers over the years that were so broken nothing else would run but you hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and tada!

Three times in six weeks. That’s practically moldy. Blow the dust off that thing.

We've been unseasonably mild her in the mid-Atlantic. We're just getting our first run of 90F/32C+ days this season, whereas we usually see that sometime in June. Seeing what's going on in the rest of the country I consider us to be damn lucky.

We've been getting hammered with rain, though. About 3-4x normal in June.

We’ve got nobody to blame but ourselves for that.

I’m of the mind that the truth already is noise and has been for a long, long time. AI isn’t introducing anything new, it’s just enabling faster creation of agenda-driven content. Most people already can’t identify the AI generated content that’s been spewing forth in years past. Most people aren’t looking for quality content, they looking for bias-affirming content. The overall quality is irrelevant.

I can see wanting to run your own DNS to serve personal clients for privacy purposes but for self-hosting class stuff I can think of plenty of downsides and zero upsides to privatizing this.

Definitely a “yeah, you could” vs. “yeah, you should” situation.

Strange New Worlds episodic nature makes it easy to just drop right in. Technically it starts in Discovery but I think you’ll be just fine without it.

If they dropped the SNW and just called it Star Trek, I’d be okay with that. It’s deserving of the name.

Somewhat of a loaded question but, if we need to scroll through their comment history meticulously to separate real from bot, does it really matter at that point?

SPAM is SPAM and we’re all in agreement that we don’t want bots junking up the communities with low effort content. However if they reach the point that it takes real effort to ferret them out they must be successfully driving some sort of engagement.

I’m not positive that’s a bad thing.

I’m thinking you could care less.

Took them ten years to split up AT&T and that was a literal monopoly. Near 100% market share.

That’s not an NTFS issue. That’s a Windows issue.

It's astounding.

While I'm not seeing a problem, able to login with my World account on either, I can confirm that a login to one will not carryover to the other because each frontend is completely independent.

Looks fine here, here and here so it's likely not a problem on your side but problems with specific instances. Making a new change to your profile should forward the changes to other instances that may have missed the previous changes. That may be enough to jiggle the handle on the ones that don't have the current information.

I’m not trying to be argumentative or even contrary. I was just legitimately curious if you were aware that some of the claims and speculation being made go WELL beyond the headline here.
