Tannenbaum is fucking asshole. Isn’t he the idiot that told Torvalds “you certainly would have failed my class if you submitted your OS as a final project?”

The guy deserves no respect.

Thank goodness.

Such beings do not deserve to use computers. We’re talking about humans here, not our monkey ancestors.

shrugs idk. Vlc has more features. Not sure I’d call it easier.

Lol, of course Lemmy posts this picture.

Mpv is better

I dislike it. But no. Don’t be authorjtarian like China. Bann it on phones of those with security clearances, but that’s all.

Antennapod?

Their silicon is really good. I’d argue it is mostly because they have a node advantage but it is what it is.

But especially in the MacBook Air it can only really show off its stuff in the short-bursty workloads of casual users (and Geekbench). My four-year-old PC would pull ahead quite quickly on any task when you actually have to run it at load for a while.

Sure or a phone.

Damn… We bow to you

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.

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

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.
