They do in Texas. Is just that Texas dont buy into the santuary cities bullshit, and raids always happaned there.

yeah, In a conventional war, it would be artilary, but Ukrain dont have enough of it, so it started using drones in its place.

Looke at the fields, now covered in optic fiber. I cant even imagine the cleaning efforts that will be needed after the war. to get rid of that.

TO know more, here is a brief presentation about drones in Ukrain War.

I specially apretiate the small mine clearing drones.

I guess most poeple that really dont care in reading in a device instead of paper, endup buying cheap tablets.

Yeah, the experience is not the same, but ereaders are fragile as fuck (i broke 2 of the damn Kindles), and very limited. Even if the the experience of reading is worse in an active iluminated screen, even a shit android tablet can be used for multiple tasks, like watching youtue, listening to music or checking e-mail. ALso they have colored screens.

I used a terrible samsgung android for 1 stuff only: reading old comic books, something that I could not do in my kindle.

Yeah, I dont like either, but I wont support Mozilla closed mind and stupidity. They pretty much abandoned Firefox (when was the last time they really updated the browser, other than incremental small corrections?), and I refuse to give my money to fund the type of shit they expend it.

They should have through about that before going all political in their positions as an organization. It was easy with the cushion of google and federal goverment money under them (impressive how easy is to do "charity" and activism with other people money).

Now I wanna see if they will put their wallets where their mouth is, and apparently, they will not.

Every time I receive a e-mail from mozilla fundation asking for 10 bucks to fund their precious inclusivity program that have nothing to do with firefox, because they lost goverment funds, I just laught and think they should ask for a loan from their previous CEO, since she receive 7 mi in one year. I just delete the e-mail after that.

Has anyone here ever used switf ouside the apple ecosystem? If so, how is the experience going?

I think in swift like C# and Microsoft. Yeah, you can and I do run a lot of C# code in other platforms. But if you really wanna use everything it has to offer, it needs to be in windows, at least in the development stages.

I use too, but is not without its problem. It does implement a lot of adds in things like the new tab page, and it did some controversial stuff (they use to replace page ads with their own, essencially stealing the page monetization, dont know if they still do).

For a while Brave is going to be my stop gap browser. Hopping that Ladybird can soon replace it.

For all its flaws, Brave still annoys me less than Mozilla assh*les.

I also tried Zen Browser... lovely, but is pretty much Mozilla with a bunch of addons. The problem is, is not clear how much of the invasive Mozilla telemetry they left on their code base. Unfourtunally, any browser that orginates from mozilla bullshit, for now, I kind consider fruit of a posionous tree.

Guess it falls back to us, the users. To fix the crapshow Mozilla has done. There are a bunch of small different iniciatives that use Firefox codebase. We just need to wait and see who will prevail.

prett cool to know that. Guest is something you need to be in the middle to really know about. Like cobol.

My guess. is going to be sold to a tech giant, and probably extinct. Maybe Microsoft buy it and rename as outlook for Linux.

My guess is that browsers like ice weasel, libre wolf, while good pieces of software, they dont have a whole company behind them.

Libre wolf "about us" page, dont even have the developers real name, only their online handle.

The closest of a "professional" port of firefox is pretty much Zen Browser.

Is what I been using, alternatin with Brave Browser.

The problem seen to be that they give power to activists instead of engineers. What the fuck they know about improvements to their core product? The only thing they do is create pretty slogans, borrow money from big capital to grown on top of debit, and seek "new sources of income". This is what it made Mozilla turn from a company that does a super badass browser from a company that sells shit advertisements, infringing on users rights, and claims to be a "international conglomeration of activists" or some shit like this.

In 20 yeas in this market I saw a lot of this. A about 6 years back it was the blockchain crazy.

My boss wanted me to put blockchain in everything (so he could market this to our clients). I printed a small sign and left on my desk. Everytime someone asked me about blockchain, I would point the sign "We don't need blockchain!"

This seens like a recipe for disaster on the making. Well, thats why we need brave people. To show us the way, or serve as a cautionary tale.

I don't know what amazes me more. The fact that someone used prolog to write a window manager, or the fact somone uses prolog at all.

Mozilla is more occupied this days paying multi milionary bonus to its executives and begging users for money they waste on useless projects.

Mozilla must die, so Firefox can live.

yea, I found a application called kick resume where you put the job description and it helps. Saves a lot of time, but you still need to pass a fine comb over it.

Is kinda expensive, but lets see if if pays itself.

I had a client habing trouble with and old vb6 software they where using in production. Replaced it with a lazarus app, and been running for 10 years now without problems.

I agree. But is usefull when your studing. When you actually need to delivery something, is great.

I used to know java sdk by memory whe I was young. Nowdays theres too many languages I have to remember. Easier just to ask copilot.

The best part of AI in my opnion is not having to search through documentation. You have any questions about a specific funcion in this lib? Just ask, and will do the search for you, and provide an quick example of use.

This shit is magical.

Didnt he paid a hitman to kill a dude, and ended up being an fbi agent ?

You talk like we already don't know that birds are now real, and are actualy goverment drones.

I watched ina friend house, but its possible is this one.

I could not read the whole article because It wanted me to create a account, but it seens very Unethical, inoculating people without their knowledge... .

Its been some years now. I think I arrived at the youtube video through a link here in Hacker news.

I did not found the original documentary, but found this playlist in youtube with a mini doc anda few Zanrock albuns.

https://youtu.be/czrPRJehmdA?si=OKbqUQZw1cjCeG6E

I was waching the other day a documentary a bout a rock moviment called Zanrock, very common in Zambia in the 70s. They would perform for great crowds and press discs in South Africa.

Unfourtunaly civil wars, the conflit in Rodhesia, and the lifestyle of Sex drugs and rock and roll in a country ravaged by AIDS, killed a lot of musicians destroyed the movement. A guy started colleccting old records and released on spotify.

of the bands, theres a great one called Witch that reminds me a lot of bands like Steppenwolf and Black Sabath.

They use an old offline machine with winxp to run stuff in factory. But they are replacing for virtualmachines now that the old hardware is dying. other than that, it runs really well. Sometimes, months without rebooting.

A guy like him probably plays diablo when hes on flights or in the bathroom time.

is 2024 and I still maintain a VB6 project. A client of mine (a aluminiun metalurgic compoany from sweeden) have all his machines controled but a central program in vb6. Since the machines are all old, they have integrations using windows COM+ protocol.

Its a offline application, that connects to SAP exchanging text files, so they have no reason to update so something more modern.

Well lhat is a weid website. Can unseet that anytime soon.
