And it has much less users, I would say its max 1-5% of X users.

Its not. Especially when using US Cloud services. And people do that. Hell even government run schools us GDRP-violating software and force the students to BUY them. The law is nice, the reality is different...

Not really sure what you mean, I saw people on 10mg THC wring crazy code in a crazy speed. Some of them need it to be able to focus and think clear. Drugs never work "one way" for everybody. And its not only people its many things

in the beginning yes, but VCs want to cash out eventually. Look at mongodb, redis and whatnot that did everything to get money at a certain point. For VCs open source is a vehicle to get relevant in a space you would never be relevant if yo

Roughly the same is true for sexual interactions. Was posted on HN a while ago. And I think it makes perfect sense, if you look at Japan they have all that development and are like 10+ years ahead.

Not ducks, but chickens, was very popular in Germany back in the day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Chicken

That is the capitalism' playbook all along. Its just much faster because its just software. But they do it for everything all the time.

Especially in non common law countries like Germany or France. Not sure about drivers and other vendors but 3rd party ink or even patches to counters, hw modifications to "repair" (better to remove the planned obsolescence) are le

Well C++ has a history of not really being convenient and makes it easy to shoot you in the foot.

I'm not so sure about which W11 hype they are talking about. But the numbers tell different, in Germany win10 was growing faster then 11.

That's a bit harsh given all the problems SMTP and IMAP have. They are very dated and have some exotic "features". There is not a single mail client that gets everything right!

Syncthing can do this and much more. Its the absolute best option to sync anything anywhere. It is very flexible, uses local connections, can only sync on wlan/certain wlans. The only thing that could be better is UX - for novel users

It is also hard to contain the DLL/SO, every system has different mechanisms to ensure it can not access 'everything'. Wasm, as build for the browser, has it in its DNA.

Oh thats so not true. The Brandenburg (the state) Ministerpräsident (like Gouverneur) and his team really like to be a big car producing Bundesland. We have Baden-Württemberg (Mercedes, Porsche), Bayern (BMW, Audi) and Niedersachen (VW HQ)

Thats true, Telegram has very good UX. But bullshit crypto with a closed server etc. :-(

Yes that helps but brings in other problems. For example many many security problems in the thousands of used npm packages of meteor and its dependencies.

Wekan uses meteor.js which is really one of the worst frameworks out there. It breaks on so many ocasions and has really bad OS support. Event he current maintainer kind of dislikes the framework... The worst part about metor is that it for

Yes but they can add commercial and GPLv3 only modules. Like they did with Qt Charts.

The question should be: When will society accept that capitalism always will kill any form of "don't be evil". There is no choice.

Currently the prices of the used electric cars are crazy. You get a brand new gasoline car for the same price as an 6 year old VW e-up!. The Renault Zoe is still 30k EUR (including battery) for a small car with low to mid range (150 - 300km

Well, we will see. As a German I can not believe it will happen, all our big car companies talking about it for like 8 years now. We had the goal of 1 mio. EV cars by 2020 in 2017 we have 54.99 (pure EVs) and about 160k hybrid. Thats 0.1 %

Kolabnow is rather expensive and we had a lot of problems with it. The up-time was also very upsetting. Experience was 2 years ago. Self-hosting of Kolab is not very flexible and a lot of work. We use self-hosted SoGO now and are very happy

QLabels support a subset of html and are styleable with simple css rules. But yes no animations or stuff like that.

by carlos22 9y ago
Now the focus of QML is mostly embedded where it really shines. Desktop and mobile is still possible with qml.

Yes, but then you are in the game. And soon you spend more energy and time in building your marketing instead of the things which made you a good developer... It is the market logic which drives us to solutions which aren't really one

Better then mp3 and embedded devices (e.g. cars) almost never have support for opus (or even ogg)...
