Pdf has a mind-bogging array of features, which make it so entrenched in the corporate world with no viable replacements at the moment. Things like forms where users can fill them out and submit (surprisingly a popular feature), cryptographic signing to prevent tampering, DRM, etc. Heck, I think you can even add JavaScript code to a pdf.

Why would anyone recommend their company to use Oracle stuff these days? Oracle should give kickbacks to people that recommend to use Oracle Database, Java, or VirtualBox in their company so they’ll keep at it /s

Tesla Board Chairperson Robyn Denholm urged shareholders to re-approve CEO Elon Musk’s $46 billion pay package this week, saying the vote is “not about the money” while suggesting that Musk could leave Tesla or devote less time to the company if he isn’t properly compensated.

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

Numbers must go up at all costs. By the time the company’s reputation hit rock bottom, the CEO already jumped ship to the next company.

If you’re getting targeted ads for penis enlargement pills, then the system thinks you have a small pp. If this is an error, you should submit photographic evidence to their office to prove you don’t have a small pp.

I assume they won’t allow porns in ads, but you can still get worse stuff than porn, like erectile dysfunction medication ads which causes people around your seat to look at you with sorry eyes.

The whole point of crypto is to be immutable, so that money is simply lost to him now.

IIRC there are several cases where some group of people lost big enough coins and force most of the miners to fork to get their money back. Not bitcoin though.

They notify but iirc only if you push a commit to a public repo. The dev in the article pushed it to a private repo, then later made the repo public.

Did it covered by warranty though? I’m probably ok with the foldable screen cracking every once in a while as long as the warranty fully covers it every time it happens.

Maybe, maybe not. Who knows. Not everyone will switch to Linux, but those who do must be introduced to it somehow. My first experience with Linux 18 years ago was very painful yet I eventually made the switch a few years later.

Let him go back to Windows. You already planted the idea of using Linux in his head. Next time he gets tired of windows for any reason, he knows there is an alternative and he’ll consider switching to Linux on his own.

Kids used to spam hadouken and kamehameha to each other back then. Not sure what kids these days do though.

Generally yes, but keep in mind that apt packages are maintained by canonical, while snap packages could be maintained by canonical, the apps’ original developers themselves (e.g. Firefox snap is maintained by Mozilla), or a 3rd party unrelated to canonical or the app’s developer (i.e. random dudes packaging apps into snap and submit them). If the snap packages are not maintained by canonical, there is nothing stopping the snap packagers to use a different versioning scheme, though it’s unlikely. In general, it’s a good idea to check the package entry on snapcraft.io to figure out who packaged them so you can decide if it’s trustworthy or not.

Due to how federation works, downvotes are actually somewhat public because instance owners can query them in lemmy database, though instance owners probably won’t tell you if you ask due to privacy reason. If you’re interested in something like this, you can run your own instance.

They don’t say unlimited, but they also won’t say the limit of their reverse proxy service. It’s intentionally vague.

Regardless of who’s right or wrong in this dispute, it’s just another example of why getting deep into cloud vendor lock in is not great for your company. If you went balls deep into cloudflare’s offering, e.g. using cloudflare workers, kv, cloudflare access, etc, you can’t afford to get kicked out of cloudflare for any reason. What are you gonna do when their sales rep tells you to pay more this year? Refusing is not an option because it’ll screw your company hard.

I always knew my English teacher was impolite.

Ah sorry, I got it backward. Nvidia is dragging their asses on implementing “implicit” sync, so Wayland devs and nvidia ended up with a compromise and implemented the explicit sync protocol. IMO it’s just another example of Nvidia doing whatever they please and forcing everyone to do it their way or highway.

Unlike AMD and Intel, they don’t get along with the open source community well and generally do whatever they please, which is why they earned the ire of many linux developers. For example, they’re really dragging their asses with implementing explicit sync.

It would be very inconvenient if you time it well, e.g. when they’re playing games beside you and you see them about to land a decisive blow.
