- Comment on Apple limits third-party browser engine work to EU devices 6 hours ago:
As usual doing malicious compliance, like when they pretended that iOS and iPadOS were two completely separate operating systems and so iPadOS shouldn’t need to support third party app stores as EU said “iOS”

No, I tried it in a VM and it’s a completely different app. It seems like a shitty electron app that sits forever in the tray wasting ram just to upload files in their cloud for conversion instead of converting locally. And then it shows prompt to subscribe from the tray

In the github issues the dev is aware of this but he’s not completely enraged, just mildly infuriated that the design is too similar and he’s politely asking to have a different design.
From the history in the wayback machine i don’t see any “parking” page between the switch, so my guesswork is that the dev has been approached with an offer like “we like that domain, we would like to buy it for $$$”, unaware that they would copy the design like that in order to achieve maximum deception of users

Is it possible to create an alias like fuckchange@domain?

Who said it’s self hosted? For what we know he could be paying $200 a year to Microsoft for his personal mail@domain account under the most expensive office365 plan (sorry, did it change name? What’s called now? Microsoft 365?)

0.69? Here they take 0.89 which is a nice 1000% markup over the electricity price. And the shame is that everyone copied the insane pricing, still blaming “sorry the war in Ukraine forces us to double the prices” even if they now came back to what they were in the beginning of 2021

With this move Tesla effectively gave up on the $7.5 billion package from the us government to build new infrastructure. Since it was paid with private money, it doesn’t require to be nationalized. It’s also accessible to anyone, with prices that are reasonable
Also, I don’t know how efficient is the government in the usa, but in my country the chargers built by the semi-nationalized electric company are almost always broken because they don’t really care about profits, they have the unlimited government budget, so what’s the issue if a charger breaks and gets fixed after 2 years, making zero revenue during that time?

Any H1B visa hostage can pick up someone else’s work on xitter for slave hours, but for cars you need experience, talent and know how. If you fire a whole team to save $x, then you gotta pay $5x to rebuild that team when you eventually need it. (Tesla probably needs a team to develop new models, eventually. Same for the policy team, useful to launch the auto taxi when it exits from beta in 2045

not only the board won’t fire him, but probably would even vote towards approving that bonus he’s craving

He really wants that 56 billion bonus huh?
- Comment on Why do mobile games suck nowadays? 2 weeks ago:
That kart game was genius programming, give you a few initial levels where it let you think that you’re driving the kart, that you’re winning because of your skills, then start the real routine of “autopilot simulator programmed to lose until you activate the paid power ups”
- Comment on Why do mobile games suck nowadays? 2 weeks ago:
Adventure games don’t sell too much, and four episodes are a lot if you make them separate purchases. Episode 2 would be purchased only by a fraction of episode 1 users, then episode 3 from a fraction of episode 2 and so on. And the longer the time between episodes, the smaller the chance it would generate new sales because existing users lost interest.
It’s instead much more remunerative to think a fun gameplay mechanic, then create a fake ad around it, buy some assets and create an idle game that plays by itself with the possibility to pay to get it faster. Use the fake ad with the fun gameplay to promote the completely different game and users are dumb won’t complain. Don’t worry if the assets you purchased for your asset flip are unrelated, it’s also allowed to be a completely different genre, for example evony (medieval and swords theme) is using zombies, tanks and machineguns in ads

Wait, the games in the cartridge need to be installed in the main memory as well? Effectively just a drm gimmick?
They can’t read the resources they need from the cart like in the past?

Yes but then vanguard and blackrock (they control about 15% of m$ shares) saw that their investment in AMD (again, with 15% they’re the biggest institutional shareholders) and their investment in Intel (more billions in shares) needed a way to increase CPU sales, so they told Microsoft to add artificial CPU requirements in order to send to the dumpster any computer produced before 2018
