I don't think MacOS OoMs as Linux

(and to be honest the way Linux does acts on OoMs are quite debatable)


macOS can OOM, ish.

If you don't have any more disk space for swap, or memory pressure gets too high, you get the "You've ran out of application memory" dialog box with a list of applications you can force quit, and macOS leaves it up to the user on what to kill instead of the system choosing automatically.


Who cares about Windows anymore?

Kids are happy with iOS/Android devices

Google docs solves 90% of Office use cases


Google Docs might handle 50% of people who use Office, but I doubt if it handles 25% of Office use cases. Few use every feature of Office but someone uses every feature of Office and all those power user cases that are different can’t be handled by Google Docs. Or even Web Office.

many people do. i work for Microsoft and don't have option to use mac os

Well, last I checked most people don't work for MS so I reckon their experience might be a bit different

And it still pings, of course

If there's one point where OSS stands like a sore thumb (derogatory) is in everything that makes it welcoming to general users

Usability. Focus. Heck, even this strawberry of a low hanging fruit like the name cannot be solved by a nerd committee apparently.

Then honestly you can't complain when people don't use your sw


> If there's one point where OSS stands like a sore thumb (derogatory) is in everything that makes it welcoming to general users

Depending on the circle (including lots of circles of "general users") annoying people who are obsessed about whether something could offend snowflakes is seen as welcoming.


but was GitLab sold? I don't think so

So, what does Block actually do?

Square point of sale payment processing for businesses, Afterpay BNPL, and then the consumer side CashApp business. And Tidal Music streaming for some reason.

They hire people, and then they fire them!

CashApp

Square is still a much, much bigger portion of the business than CashApp.

    Square’s ecosystem is expected to contribute $1.77 billion, while Cash App is expected to provide $58.3 million to transaction revenues.

I'm guessing this is your card bouncing a repeat purchase from the same vendor with the same value

That I'd not know, although it'd be very uncommon and has not happened. In the EU 3ds is a very standard process, the the payments require an explicit approval (national id cards/smartid, etc.)

Yeah weird, I've seen some vendors reject the purchase even after a successful 3ds validation, looks like something in the vendor/payment processor (rather than the bank) side

3DS also requires a smartphone app, at least at my bank

I wonder how much Meta wrote off with their Metaverse adventure

Well that was a 100% certifiably genuine ridiculous loss.

It is interesting how corporations develop personalities, that can do some things well but reliably fail at others. No matter the funding, personnel or efforts. And in this case, by developing a personality I mean enabling Zuck.


About $16 billion a year, every year since 2022 or whatever. You can see RL spending in their public financials. Every company deducts ("writes off") R&D spending.

If it wasn't every last penny of their spend then they weren't being honest with themselves.

Honestly it's not spoiled to want to use the hardware you paid for

Cool, you do that then. I bet you'll get a gold star at the end of the year
