it’s been a while since Adobe moved from standalone projects to what they call “content supply chain” they have no interest in competing at individual product level. if you only need photoshop, there are tons of better alternatives. they only become irreplaceable if you are in the enterprise level and need things like collaboration, project management, cloud storage, auditing, governance, etc (ie. creative cloud + workfront + their AEM DAM offering).

I do consulting in Adobe products and every year their products are shittier but they still are indispensible due to inertia and integrated ecosystem

I think AI is a huge red herring for a lot of the massive layoffs we have seen. this is class warfare masquerading as a technological shift. I dont trust for a second most of these CEOs believe what they are saying (the dumbs ones for sure do).

I think the “open source” in FOSS is exactly what you look for. there is a software and it’s source code is open and free to use. it says nothing about community, build system, infra, etc.

so that taxi drivers don’t get payed and they get all the money, of course.

I enjoyed CIV V with Brave New World and went to CIV VI when gathering storm was released. is VII ok as it is or should I wait until an expansion fixes most issues and adds additional mechanics?

anyone not in Meta’s pocket

it’s the opposite. plugin hybrid have consistently been demonstrated to be way less efficient than advertised. (in part because of how they works in part because of how people use them)

what’s the relation with my corolla?

I also used to think hybrids were probably too complex, but 5years ago after checking in how ecvt works I got a corolla station wagon (US doesn’t get it. your loss) hybrid an I really like it. it gives me 4.7l/100km (50 mpg) and moves super smooth.

not only devs. I think this happened to George Lucas as well

I really thought this was going to be a mention to Godus. I didnt know he was into NFTs

I’m convinced that is a generated metric that is far away from reality. the objective is too make their product seem better than it is

you ask the user for it if they want to recover the account and hash it. if the hash matches your previously stored hash then you send the email

other providers that position themselves as secure for activists or journalists do exactly that and they cannot handle that information

in that particular case the people involved were identified through their recovery email which they did not hash like ‘safe’ other providers do. they have positioned themselves as safe even for activist and journalists and have failed to deliver in that account consistently.

no surprise since their CEO is a MAGA guy

there has been in the news several instances where proton has given to law enforcements information that have hold onto. in some cases regarding journalists.

their answer is always “ah, yeah. we do keep that one, but not the other data”

before you ask…an example https://privacyradar.com/news/privacy/proton-mail-payment-data-stop-cop-city-activist-identified/

I have no idea what you talk about:

• there are plenty of reasons for a glass back (wireless charging being the most evident. it is also so much nicer to touch than aluminum)
• that glass is ridiculously though. it amazing how much abuse it can take without breaking. you are just stuck in how it was 10 years ago when everyone carried broken screens

also iphones this days can be fully submerged in water with zero issues. I would not trade off that safety

and even with that, recent iphones are way easier to repair than a few years ago. I would not say anyone can do it, but it’s definitely easier than before when you basically had to disassemble the whole thing

you could say he was there enough time to let a new ceo step in without all that baggage.

they said Tim will continue his job lobbying working with governments while Ternus runs the company

oh. who could have known? https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/04/fcc-exempts-netgear-from-ban-on-foreign-routers-doesnt-explain-why/

every non-apple macbook I ever bought always had some issue. broken hinges, screens that went bad, just go dead,etc. It’s not like apple ones are defect-free but I have 4 of them running at home, the oldest from 2012 running without zero issues beyond a wasted battery. repairability is not an issue if they dont break in the first place.
