I was excited for nothing...

So what do microsoft's crack teams working at? typescript? xbox? vscode? Because those are the smoothest microsoft products I tried so far. The rests seem to get the bottom of the barrel these days.

To offer an app for download from a website in the European Union, developers need to meet specific criteria. Developers need to be a member of the Apple Developer Program for two continuous years or more and must have an app with more than one million first installs on iOS in the European Union in the prior year.

This seems specifically disqualify Epic as they aren't a member for two continuous years due to being booted by Apple. Apple must be really hates Epic.

lmao didn't know Elon Musk is an ffmpeg maintainer

How is bazzite on steam deck? Any issue with games that not present when using steam os?

Should be totally doable, when I'm retired and all I do is playing games all day. Can still open a web browser from steam overlay to check emails and stuff.

This is why you should secure your own bureaucracy-bypassing backdoor with a long ass key (bonus point if you use pki instead of a simple static key).

Have you tried not being disabled?

Flutter devs actually defended this approach, saying the web in general is moving to this direction. I think they've mellowed out somewhat and released html renderer support, though it's still default to canvas for desktop web browsers.

WCK said it had co-ordinated the convoy's movements with the IDF when it was hit.

WTF?! How could this happen? Is IDF that incompetent and must hit anything that moves?

Packaging applications is a hard work so they obviously want the devs to do it themselves. For example, canonical push hard so their users use snap for firefox because it's maintained by firefox devs themselves. Firefox updates very often and has complex build system, so I think canonical is tired of allocating significant resource to support it and want to stop maintaining firefox package if they can.

ublock origin won't help you blocking the ad elements if the entire website ui is rendered in a canvas (already starting to happen thanks to some frameworks like flutter) and can't block the ad logic if it bundled in the wasm along with the rest of the app. It might still able to block the requests, but they're starting to serve the ads from the same domain that serves the website so it can't be blocked without breaking the website itself, and might begin to serve those over websocket so adblockers can't block it by url path. With javascript, an ad blocker might still be able to monkey patch the ad logic on runtime to break it, but with black box like wasm I'm not sure if such thing is possible.

Once tooling and frameworks make it easier for average webdevs to use webasm, I'm sure ad companies will begin to offer it in their ads sdk. Thankfully most websites with ads are still care about SEO so at the very least we can be sure it won't happen anytime soon, unless something changes in how google works that could enable this.

People are annoyed by canonical shoving snaps into their mouth at every opportunity (people want to choose when to use them by themselves), but there are many legitimate reasons for existence of snap and flatpak. Here are some of them:

• the app developers themselves are in full control of their app's distribution and updates instead of relying on distro maintainers. devs getting some angry mails for bugs already fixed but not yet included by distros is tale as old as time.
• simplified dependency management. what's stopping the dev from packaging their app using distro's native package management instead? whelp, they don't want to deal with this stuff. It can be a hard work, and there are dozens of distros out there to support.
• protecting users data. when you run an app installed from your distro's package manager, you know you can trust it because your distro maintainers have vetted the app to make sure it doesn't read your mail or your browser history or your ssh keys. when you download the app from a third party source, you can only pray to god that those apps won't mess with your data behind your back. You don't have to worry about that when you use sandboxed apps like flatpak.

Ubuntu, please stop! Her neck is going to snap!

I love seeing webassembly getting traction because it enable cool stuff never thought possible before running in web browsers. But webassembly is a blackbox that can't be tinkered with by end users. I dread the day webassembly become so widely used that average websites run under webassembly because that would be the end of blocking ads or tweaking websites behavior with greasemonkey scripts.

CoffeeScript was a fad, but TypeScript seems to gaining more and more popularity these days, with new runtimes like deno supporting them natively. TypeScript finally gave Microsoft relevancy again in webdev world, so I bet they'll go a great length to make sure it stays that way. If Microsoft were still making their own browser engine, I bet they'll make it natively supports TypeScript too.

I got the feeling that the other commenter is right, that you’ll hate it, every day going forward:

Choose dishwasher over cabinet: every time you don't use the dishwasher's full capacity, you'll wonder why you didn't go with extra cabinet space instead

Chose extra cabinet space over dishwasher: every time your dirty dishes are too much for your dishwasher, you'll wonder why you didn't go with bigger dishwasher instead

Using apache is smoother for beginner though because nextcloud can configure some of the webserver configuration it needs by generating a .htaccess file by itself without user intervention. On nginx you might need to tweak the webserver configuration yourself every once in a while when you update nextcloud, which OP seems to hate to do.

eBPF: psst, wanna run your code directly in kernel?

Did you know Gentoo has binary packages now?

Double Dragon on NES had a jump that was impossible to make forcing the company to make a new cart and give refunds.

I didn't know this. This is obviously why I never finished that game and certainly not because I suck at it.
