Great! Now not only can chrome eat all my system memory, it can use all my GPU memory at the same time! It’s genius!

You can tell because his mouth is moving.

Yeah they probably mean easy. And probably easy for me, or what I already know.

That said, one of the complaints I commonly hear about Gnome is that it’s simplified to the point of being hard to use. So again, simplification is probably not what they mean.

Sounds pretty great to me honestly… Might spin up vm this weekend and give it a shot!

Thought let’s be honest, I’ve grown kinda lazy in my old age and compiling kernels is kinda a pain if you don’t need to so I dont know if I’ll actually use it for anything

I do too. I kinda miss Jenkins but a lot of the conveniences in GitLab’s CI are really nice and it’s better for 99% of use cases.

Every other ci in existence you just write a command. Then if it doesn’t work you run the command on your machine and fix it.

Actions are “magic” which means you have to fake the ci runner with tools and reverse engineer the action to run local debugging and if it failed you might not even fully know what was running with digging into the actions source.

GitHub provides you the tools and their “easy” until they aren’t.

It’s very Microsoft though. It feels like trying to write a Windows app and trying to get your random Net environment definition to line everything up and compile in VS then hoping the same thing happens when you deploy.

Oh…I was interested until you said actions. What a terrible system for ci.

I was being sarcastic because really it doesn’t have a tool with explicit features, just a workaround using a couple features together.

For a new user it’s very difficult to do a pretty basic task.

It does! And it’s so easy to use.

• Draw a circle with the ellipse selection tool
• From the edit menu choose “stroke selection” and follow the dialogs
• Remove your selection

It’s so obvious I can’t imagine why anyone would be confused.

Yeah but now instead of using highly specialized language models to extract calendar information and explicitly create an appointment, it now uses a generalized model that gets it wrong more often than not. So it’s better (for investors).

Firefox main problem with profitability relevance. They need more people to get people to use their tools

So I just have two questions.

1. How does this get new users?
2. How does this help retention?

The only answer is it doesn’t and we don’t care because we’re going to cash out.

I’m not running away, I’ll still open Firefox tomorrow like yesterday because the browser landscape is terrible and the shadow of what Firefox was is still good.

But I’m looking for the disruptor because as questionable as a lot of the new smaller browsers are, there are people out there trying and it’s going to happen.

Cool.

And the best part is, if I set it to never I get the websites I was actually looking for.

It’s so semantic it almost reads like a sentence!

And who needs simplicity when you can teach people about advanced shell techniques like command substitution?

Perfection.

Between the fact I’ve been using a date picker for ages in Firefox, the fact dates and times are hard, and the title of the issue that’s clearly a zombie issue. I’m surprised they were able to close it at all.

Protected from government censorship. Companies have strong protections allowing for controlling the speech on their platforms.

And if you asked Roberts he’d probably say since companies are people, as long as it’s used to protect conservatives they have protection for controlling their platforms speech as a 1st amendment right.

I agree. I’ve thought about it a lot and I still don’t have any sympathy for them after the harm they’ve caused. I see why it’s news worthy enough they might reverse it, and why it would be political speech.

But also I think they made the right choice to take it down. If blsky wants to be the better platform, it needs to be better. And not having an exception for this is the right thing.

"Man we really got trounced in that election "

“Yeah we should really work on our image”

“Yeah. Oh I know! You know how everyone hated that tik tok ban?”

“Yeah?”

“Well what if that, but more!”

“But people hated the ban…”

“Oh right, no, the movie industry is paying us to do this.”

“Oh why didn’t you just say so.”

Nuclear though, never had a problem with excess heat at one of those. /s

That doesn’t exist in the mobile nightly.

But honestly that’s no problem and I hadn’t noticed because I just pin things to the new tab window.

Read the headline and thought “there’s a catch…”

Finally got around to reading the post and Microsoft is very politely saying “we’ve completed stealing their shit now. Don’t know why anyone would want it, use ours now. You can have it though.”

Thanks I guess? I’m glad it’s out of their hands now and with an open source group that cares and can make a difference.
