It's also interesting that microsoft thinks they can provide a useful search across basically everything you have done on your PC, when so far they have utterly failed at searching for entries in my start menu or files by filename.

Really strange that Linux is the only operating system.
You'd think that maybe the two largest companies in the world would try to make their own OSs, but no.
Anything that says otherwise isn't canon.

@npub1h4u…cnpk Die "Expertenanalyse" ist schon sehr witzig, als ob diese "Person" nicht offensichtlich erstaunlich matschig aussieht :P
Ist aber schon irgendwie traurig wenn man so großen Stuss verbreitete das niemand sein echtes Gesicht dahinter stellen möchte.

@npub1yc8…507h Not sure this really applies here. Unless you think generating HTML on the server has always been a mistake :P
I mean, I guess you can think of what people did back then, with JS reading the html and going of off that as hydration, but there's a pretty big step in automagic between them.
I feel more like this when people hype up htmx. Like, I've been rending partials in PHP when I was first learning, why are people suddenly excited over that? 😂

Not to be conspiratorial, but server-rendering of components with hydration sounds like a great way for cloud providers to charge for more compute on every request, instead of just leveraging the free and self-scaling compute on the client.

What are you supposed to do when one of your powerusers is asking some extremely technical questions, but also with such a language barrier that you can't understand what they are writing 80% of the time :/

Unexpected technical issues?
Untechnical expectation issues!

@npub1yc8…507h On a more serious note, "git bisect". It allows you to pin down exactly which commit introduced a behavior. It works like a binary search. It checks out the middle commit, and you check if the behavior is in there.
If it is, it checks out the middle to the left side of the commit, otherwise to the right.
After a few rounds of tests, it can tell you exactly which commit is at fault.
The testing can be automated.

If it's stupid, but it works, it's still stupid, but it works.

@npub1h4u…cnpk Interesting, their store pages don't mention ad blocking at all, it hardly shows any blocklist function.
Probably because Google really don't like it when you use the VPN API for that

@npub1h4u…cnpk On mobile, there's a lot of other stuff besides the browser that shows ads and sells data.
I'm using https://f-droid.org/de/packages/dnsfilter.android/ to catch those, and it works pretty well

@npub1h4u…cnpk I get it for services, online games, and maybe even annual software, but for some of those I don't really understand how they were "killed".
Bob was released, nobody cared, end of story. If you really want to you can still use it today.
3D Movie Maker just seemed like a software that was made and then done.
Works always struck me more as "needlessly kept alive" more than killed.
