You forgot teenage girls and (apparently) dumb women on Tinder, but yes.

(Setting aside how much I hate Apple for the moment)

A lot of these VR and mixed reality things are much neater in theory than in practice. I have tried the whole virtual-desktop-in-VR thing before and it just isn't really much more productive unless maybe you are really pressed for space. You can just get another monitor, not have to wear a giant gizmo on your head and be able to drink your coffee while you work without issue.

That is very much not what I said, bruh.

Believe it or not Vodafone will charge you for air and sea usage quite a lot. So be careful if you use them.

No, children.

He has written his own libraries and programs to ensure these things don't happen.

What you people need to understand is that these problems have been solved before Rust. They just weren't baked into the language. And so people made mistakes.

I'm not saying Rust is not always the better choice. Of course not. I'm just oh-so-weary of this rewrite-the-world zealotry a lot of people have about it.

Check out Eskil Steenberg. He's mostly a game dev, but he has some really good talks.

Absolutely. The problem is, most programmers are mediocre. So sadly the protection of stupid people tends to take cultural precedence.

Same to you, bud

Interesting. I'll check it out. I didn't know that.

(BTW from my understanding of the law sites cannot block functionality if you decline cookies. But it is rarely enforced)

Right. That's a very different business model. I don't necessarily have an opinion about whether it would be better or worse. It is easier to look at our current problems and say it would be better. But, eh, I can block most trackers and be a leach off of websites that stay up by selling other people's data. shrug

And yet we live in a world where consent spam is actually harder to deal with than tracking, if you're smart.

Obviously. But that is very difficult on mobile.

I really only use for "oh damn, I known there's a great one-liner to do that in Python" sort of thing. It's usually right and of it isn't it'll be immediacy obvious and you can move on with your day. For anything more complex the gas lighting and subtle errors make it unusable.

What sort of irks me is what a mixed bag EU regulation is. Some is good (GDPR), not denying that. Some is annoying (you're going to be accepting cookies 100 times a day until you're dead thanks to them), and Whatsapp runs on all devices, so while interoperability nice, even as a free-software, Linux person I don't really care.

However, if you have to deal with friends or family in the US and you don't have an iPhone though, god help you. They don't care about this.

I guess my complaint is that EU regulation may seem legally elegant, but I think it is sometimes quite blind to the real situation on the ground.

It looks good on the books but we still, say, don't have a standard ARM boot process for smartphones that would help users not be dependent on whatever shitty ROM the OEM wants them to have. That would be life changing, but it will never even be talked about.

😂

Don't know what you're talking about.

Though I actually did finally listen to Linus's review. Minus a few stupid things like "it's too thick" or "I don't like where the SIM slot is", I think I mostly agree with him. It seem like the software at least has some major issues if he is to be believed.

A lot of men who think they are techies because they game or something but really aren't.

Not to mention it is hard to do that with music and keep up with thousands of new tracks and artists.
