And they use ULA's Atlas V rockets even though Amazon's CEO owns a competing rocket company. Space is hard πŸ˜‚

 

I've discovered Lemmy quite recently and I'm still learning how it works. One of the things I don't get is how small communities can become known? On the main page I can only see communities that I've already subscribed to. I can also see popular posts on this instance. But how post in a community can become popular if no one has already joined it?

Why do everyone emphasize the fact that it is Rust based? What difference does it make? Personally, I don't care whether it's written in Rust, Cobol or Brainfuck. Badly written software would be buggy no matter the language.

Isn't that what Xwayland was created for? What sort of applications are these?

A few things to point out:

  • Microsoft created this extension and pays money to develop it
  • Despite that, they give it to programmers for free. It is still free of charge.
  • They explicitly said that using it outside of their products is forbidden (according to article: at least 5 years ago), they just didn't enforce it
  • Someone (here: Cursor developers), despite that, used it in their products and started to make money from it

What exactly are you mad at? When will programming community finally understand that Microsoft is not a non-profit company and its primary purpose is to make money?

Thank you for reminding me of existence of this network. Have they already joined fediverse as they promised?

To be successful, Firefox should not only try to keep up with the competition, but also offer some unique features that would attract new users.

I agree that LLMs are overhyped, but in my opinion they are quite good at summarising text. We all hate clickbait titles, and this feature has the potential to actually combat them. And what's unique about Firefox's approach is that it's truly private. No other browser offers this.

Extension members seems promising, but the way they are implemented seem kind of strange to me. I still need to create a static class to declare extension? Why not just get rid of class and declare extensions as "standalone" elements?

Pretty good article, went into some technical stuff, which surprised me as in Linux world I'm used to articles discussing changes in wallpapers between different distro releases :D

Wow, have they just realised that not every single thing computers do is actually useful to anyone? I think screens that show things when nobody's looking cost a lot more on a global scale.

 

Latest nightly builds of Firefox 139 include an experimental web link preview feature which shows (among other things) an AI-generated summary of what that page is purportedly about before you visit it, saving you time, a click, or the need to β€˜hear’ a real human voice.

 

In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of my OSS projects, I will be commercializing AutoMapper and MediatR.

What Will This Look Like?

The short answer is "I don't know exactly". I'm working out those details now and will share them when I figure it out.
