Just pick the 15th most common name of the previous year. Then your kid will be fine.

In order to grow a chat app you need a consistent and stable interface over a long period of time. It can’t have too much bullshit in it either.

In order to grow your career at Google you need to build ridiculous shit and then leave once you get your promo. Entire departments get reorged so someone can hit their people manager quota.

Product groups, business units, “orgs”, VPs, SVPs, it’s all just a game and “everyone’s playing except you.” This is why Google kills shit. Because Google rewards behavior that results in killing shit.

THE ONE TRUE FORMAT

Telemetry, in the context of software development and UX design, is either a decision by the misinformed or just an excuse to save costs by axing the Windows QA department.

That’s very silly. That’s actually such a ridiculous opinion I’m pretty sure you’ve left out some assumption that would make it make sense.

Except this isn’t 1982 and that computer is running Windows 11, not Multix. The CPU probably has at least 8 cores and the NIC can do at least a gigabit. A network retry is not going to matter.

I agree, it should be opt in. Where I disagree is with how strongly people react against it.

If you buy a car and it only comes with Bluetooth do you have a meltdown? Do you kick, scream, and cry that Big Car is going to steal your data? No that’s fucking ridiculous. But grown ass man children on Lemmy act that way when Microsoft wants to know how many gigs of ram they have.

Microsoft has more to lose than almost any other tech company. They also have more process, legal enforcement, and bureaucracy than most other tech companies.

There’s no fear of a lone engineer moving fast and breaking things at Microsoft. If someone at Microsoft had an idea for how they’d use your data they’d have to pass it through 5 chains of command, 2 tech orgs, and Legal just to begin the process.

During Covid they were talking about letting people back on planes if everyone wore a mask. I told a friend that’s ridiculous, the total volume of air will be filled with corona virus, the mask doesn’t stop the virus it just projects the virus upwards.

Friend lost his shit. Called me a science denier and legitimately thought I was a right wing lunatic. The guy is a Staff software engineer at Meta. We rarely talk anymore which is too bad but also maybe for the best.

If you have ever said “Master Slave” architecture you are a racist and every single Black person in earshot had a panic attack. At least, that’s what we’re led to believe.

And what a sweet deal it is for the fall guy.

“Hey we need to roll out an unpopular policy change. If you agree to take the PR hit we’ll give you $30 million”

Best gig in a lifetime.

Finally someone gives a conversion into a real currency. We usually only get dollars or euros.

I might wish it on a few people, idk.

Yeah it means you have house centipedes which is only slightly less bad.

You know I read these threads and they remind me so much of Reddit. And now I don’t know if reddit really got shittier or if the shittiness was always there it was just ignorable. These comments are definitely reddit tier and that’s sad for the fediverse.

This is probably the third meme in two days where the top comment says it’s not a meme.

Hmm. That’s definitely a compelling argument. Multinational cabal committing a false flag operation to create a racially pure dictatorship.

I have another idea let me know what you think.

Iran has been funneling Hamas weapons for years. There’s a supply chain from Iran -> Syria -> Palestine. During the Syrian civil war the Israelis found smuggling tunnels in Palestine and warned about how a destabilized Syrian border is permeable to Iranian weapons. This scale of this attack is likely the result of a persistent effort to stockpile munitions. It is funded by Iran, not Mossad, because Iran explicitly wants to destroy Israel.

Now, my theory isn’t quite as cool as yours. Mine is a little boring and yours is like a spy novel.

I have one dream for Linux. I’m a huge OSS fan and I want to see it thrive.

I think Microsoft should partner with Oracle to make Oracle Linux 9 support all the Microsoft ecosystem. I want AD in Linux. I want Microsoft Word on Linux. Oracle Linux 9 is the obvious successor to RHEL and Microsoft has an opportunity here to build something great.

Lmao just kidding

Windows OS is one of the biggest misses in the company’s history. The money lost on Zune pales in comparison to the missed opportunities of making NT the go-to dev platform.

People like Mac OS better. The most popular user OS in the world is Android. Cloud is Linux. Microsoft knows they have to play nice because they are so far behind there’s no point in competing how they used to.
