Development cost is still a thing with software.

I don’t immediately hate it. It’s been a while since any laptops/prebuilds shipped with less than 8 GB, and there’s distros out there far better suited to running on low power or legacy hardware.

Hopefully it’s just AI tools for development they’re talking about (though that will be bad enough if RHEL becomes vibecoded slop) and not stupid AI “features” baked into the OS.

I mean, bro’s definitely not wrong about the insurance company thing.

What format does the shield not support that other boxes do support?

In the next couple weeks, demand is going to go down as the weather warms up. After that, they have all summer to to work on shifting production to renewables as much as possible and shifting fossil fuel suppliers to ones that don’t need to use that strait.

It astonishes me that the shield is still the best of the streaming boxes after all these years.

How much sense it makes depends on which markets went up. If, for example, you are an Alberta oil producer, this situation is wonder for the bottom line.

The optimist in me hopes it’s some malicious compliance on the part of the low level employees who do the actual work.

The realist in me is pretty sure it’s just incompetence all the way down.

Unless Google’s search AI lied to me (and surely it would never do that) this is all Apple’s fault anyway. They are the one’s that highjacked Ctrl+c for the copy function.

Unfortunately, that has become ingrained now everywhere other than the Linux terminal. And as Gui interfaces have improved over the years, average users are spending less time there, and Ctrl+shift+c has become the option that feels out of place.

I doubt they’ll change that, since Ctrl+Shift+C also opens the dev console on chromium based browsers on Windows (just tried it with Chrome and Edge). Not sure if that’s the behavior on Linux, since I only use Firefox there.

Also, I really doubt that Ctrl+Shift+C behavior is going to factor into people’s decision anyway. That’s a very niche problem to have.

It’s not technically wrong though. He is a former president, as well as the current one. And I’m betting that referring to him as “former president” would get under his skin, so I’m all for it.

Pretty sure they actually did.

Websites not playing nice with Firefox has nothing to do with Firefox itself, and everything to do with lazy web devs only testing with chromium based browsers and maybe Safari.

I’m guessing some variation on “capitalism bad”.

I have it on my work laptop, because unfortunately my company bought into the hype. Every once in a while I ask it how to do a thing, just to see if it will help. So far copilot has been wrong 100% of the time.

Good thing nobody said that then.

At least Eby was willing to say it directly.

Eating less will absolutely work for 100% of people. That’s just physics. The problem is adjusting timeframe expectations. If it took a lifetime to gain the weight, you’re not going to get rid of it with a couple months of dieting. Trying to go too fast is what causes the problem. It’s like never working out a day in your life, then trying to bench 500 lbs as your first ever lift; you’re going to hurt yourself.

“easy” is definitely not the word to use, since it’s clearly not easy. I think “Simple” is the better way to put it. Things can be simple, and yet extremely difficult.
