I don’t get this comment. Gnome is not trying to make a walled garden, and Microsoft has taken every chance they get at making walled gardens (Windows phone, windows 8 arm, various proprietary file formats and protocols), they just haven’t been very successful at it.
Or by using gnu style options on potentially bsd tar
I mean, I never do that without downloading the script and reading it. I also read makepkg files. It doesn’t take that much to validate these things
The fsf also thinks it should be a different license apparently, given that gplv3 doesn’t force you to distribute source to users of a server, but agpl does.
Although to be fair it.migjt have more fondo with the concept not being very well tested.
tz offset is really not enough. You’d need to save the time zone id and/or offset, to have you library calculate deviations such as daylight savings.
Even that, that would break if the user moves and now what they setup is using their previous timezone.
Basically, I’m saying that storing the offset works most of the time, but not all of the time.
It depends. If something needs to happen in local time (like, always at the same time regardless of daylights savings for example) you should be storing times in local timezone
But it did get a UI overhaul a few years back. Seems good enough
Yeah, and ide only supported 4 drives at a time in most systems
What? Using uuids is the solution to having to change the file (that, or stable name rules). You can also use labels if you want to.
Under this definition, using mspaint is programming
Ctrl+break doesn’t do anything on my machine. Ctrl+c stops a process.
I use edge for the edge case when websites don’t work after changing the user agent
when you format a 256GB drive and find out that you don’t actually have 256GB
Most of the time you have at least 256GB. It’s just you 256GB=238.4GiB, and windows reports GiB but calls them GB. You wouldn’t have that problem in Mac OS that counts GB properly, or gnome that counts GiB and calls them GiB.
(This is ignoring the few MB that takes to format a drive, but that’s also space on the disk and you’re the one choosing to partition and format the drive. If you dumped a file straight into the drive you’d get that back, but it would be kind of inconvenient)
Because they get paid to endorse it.
True, but that’s more about the relationship between Google and phone manufacturers and and carriers. As far as a party like Epic is concerned, it shouldn’t have any relation. As far as epic goes, they’re only affected by the opt in process to install apks, and apps not being allowed to install apps (which I hope has a way more complicated opt in process if it’s allowed or malware will be rampant among casual users)
Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. The only available information is the metadata, not messages
Not really, they’ve always been big on being incompatible for the sake of locking in people: adb, FireWire, iPod requiring iTunes, etc.
You mean all that metadata? As far as we know, all messages are e2e encrypted and no one has proven it otherwise.
It’s because that’s not a common definition and it’s not even a good one. No normal person would call cloning stealing. Also, this completely misses lending, gifting, downloading a webpage or even renting. All of those would be stealing under this definition.
Python is probably the language that popularized them, if not invented them. They’re saying the team doesn’t like using them.
My take is that other than C++, where it’s reasonable, forbidden language features are a smell for the team not having a healthy understanding of the language
