Could be. Let’s see what happens.

Ok, that doesn’t make sense to me, but Microsoft is pretty aimless these days so I won’t say it’s impossible.

Windows start menu in Android?
- Comment on Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns 14 hours ago:
Your post came across pretty harsh.
Also, you probably didn’t read my whole post. The point I was making was that the primary reason to use React Native is for cross-platform development, THEREFORE it makes no sense to use it for the Windows start menu because what would be the point of porting that to another OS?

Unnecessarily biting reply. Microsoft investor perhaps?
- Comment on Ben Stiller and Adam Scott on ‘Severance’ Season 3, Stiller’s Scrapped Character and Potential Spinoffs: ‘There Are Two Specific Ideas’ 1 day ago:
Ah, yes, thanks! I’ve been meaning to listen to the podcast for a while now.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns 1 day ago:
At a higher level, as in multiple operating systems. I think it’s probably high enough that it doesn’t care much about the hardware platform as long as it’s supported. But I don’t know the technical details of developing with React Native.
- Comment on Ben Stiller and Adam Scott on ‘Severance’ Season 3, Stiller’s Scrapped Character and Potential Spinoffs: ‘There Are Two Specific Ideas’ 1 day ago:
Thanks, good to see news about Severance. I’ve always been curious about the early stages of the show’s development too.
This caught my attention:
As for other extensions of the show, Stiller says it’d “be great to have a ‘Severance’ video game.” Scott agrees: “I think it lends itself to one.”
Woah, why had I never thought about this before? A Severance video game could be amazing if it was done right.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns 1 day ago:
What in tar nation? Why would they ever do such a thing? The main point of React Native is to make an application cross-platform (i.e., so it can run on multiple operating systems). What’s the point in developing a Windows Start menu that can run on macOS, Android, or whatever?
Unless they’re going for the second point of React Native, which is to be able to develop with JavaScript, which has an abundance of developers (i.e., it’s less expensive). Maybe they thought that this was the main point, regardless of performance issues.
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 1 week ago:
Jeepers creepers, this is so disheartening. I’m sorry that you had to experience that!
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 1 week ago:
One of the major factors to consider here is that public schools in the US are not equally funded by number of students. Instead, most of the funding is provided by state and local property taxes, meaning that richer areas where houses are worth a lot more, get much better funding for their schools. So while those rich areas’ school funding is probably much higher than the global median, the poorer areas’ school funding is likely much lower, in a very high cost of living country in general.
The other factor to also consider is that public schools in the US have fairly extensive athletic programs, meaning that they spend a lot of the funds to build and maintain things like American Football stadiums, swimming pools, etc., as opposed to only funding actual academic education.

This is the best I could find on short notice about athletic vs academic spending, and it’s only discussing teacher vs coach salaries: linkedin.com/…/more-spent-instruction-coaches-per…
- Comment on Cox and charter merger announced 1 week ago:
Yikes, that’s terrifying. Although I learned today that it’s apparently Spectrum buying Cox. Who knows what they will do after they buy out their competition though.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Does Cox still implement data caps?

Unfortunately I don’t know for sure. I have not used Funkwhale myself. I did look around at some of the pods listed on that site. I suppose you would need to visit each pod to see if you can tell if what they’re about matches what you want to share.

They must be feeling the pinch of a ton of their subscribers cancelling it after they watched the last episode of Severance.

Jason Statham is like his own IP now, similar to superhero or star wars movies. Should we call it the “Jason Statham universe”?
- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 2 months ago:
That’s fair. But what they’ve said so far seems to strongly point at this being the reason.
- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 2 months ago:
Think about it. Anything you type into a browser is your intellectual property, you own the copyright to it, unless you’re copying someone else’s text. In order for Mozilla to pass what you type on to any website you’re visiting, they need to “copy” that text.
I think this is what they’re trying to address with their legalese. It’s a pity that it has to come to this, but that’s how the legal environment is these days. They can’t afford to make expensive mistakes.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 2 months ago:
That’s actually kind of a brilliant concept that should serve as an example for other video game publishers then: open-source the program so that it can be maintained by the community, but require a license to use the artwork. The community could eventually recreate and even improve the artwork anyway.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 2 months ago:
That would be a completely legendary move if the dev hired by EA just said “fuck it, I’m open-sourcing this shit!”

Good to know, thanks. I haven’t worked with btrfs much yet. I have ZFS on a Debian server.
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 3 months ago:
There’s an old saying with ZFS: “Friends don’t let friends dedupe”
That’s a bad example to reference. The ZFS implementation of deduplication is poorly thought out, and I say that even though I like and run ZFS on my own Linux server(s). I understand that the BTRFS implementation of dedupe works well (no first-hand experience), and the Windows one works great (first-hand experience).

I don’t have any resources handy, but I do know someone who this happened to: they were an immigrant who got an SSN the first time they migrated to the US, went back to live in their country for a number of years, then returned to the US and I guess applied for an SSN again. Voilá, two SSNs and a mess.
