Pretty damning evaluation of apple's capabilities to be sure that they won't be able to compete on merit! I don't believe that. So much apple software is absolutely loved.

I love Safari. I’ve used it since the day I bought a Mac not long after it was released. Back when they still bundled IE 5.5.

I don’t think they can compete. Apple doesn’t release Safari on Windows (any more, god it was bad) and that basically kills their chance at desktop relevance.

But even if they did my point is Google has way WAY WAY too much leverage and is already in an effective near monopoly position due to making Chromium. iOS is the only reasonably sized bastion left.

And that’s entirely due to Apple’s policy, whether one thinks it’s right or wrong.

The stakes are way too tilted. The market can’t function.

And we’re about to see it “freed”, which is basically handing it to Google for a total monopoly.

And I don’t like that future. Whatever I think of all the other issues with both Apple and Google right now and what has happened in the past.


Real world experience for the author which they probably lack in other langs. It would be an absurd statement otherwise.

Calm down. Hardly any drama except yours.


You're right. Signing off for the day.


I am surprised it wasn't needed till now. This needs a lan connection and definitely will need access to local networks.


For a long time, there were no RHEL/CentOS ecosystem distributions with BTRFS support. Now there is a 10 year supported stable distribution which does. More options for linux workstations/servers.


That sounds interesting, what kind of actor use cases would require adding locks to actors?


What are you on about?


I have mostly heard these complaints from people who haven't used a java ide and/or do not know that jvms allow waiting for a debugger before starting execution (helps with all sorts of spring or whatever errors and boilerplate).

That said, there is a shitload of "enterprise" fuckery in Java, but those Devs would have made a mess of any codebase anyway.


I would be surprised if anybody who ever used kde would confuse the two.


I have absolutely no opinion on "common good" or "standard" here.

I wholeheartedly agree about the containers part though, just have everything within a folder in a container somewhere so I don't have to keep googling where X stores Y and still failing half the time.
