oaiey··on Ferrari Luce
He, however, forgot to upgrade the look over time.

I blissfully ignore the cyberpunk era.

oaiey··on .NET (OK, C#) finally gets union types
That! Okay, in 2026 this could be a LSP feature with some editor fanciness but this is a real benefit. My nitpick is that we do not have a depreciation on the non async ones
oaiey··on Cannibalistic attacks between gray seals leave telltale “corkscrew” injuries
I always read this as: when something is doomed by itself, it is the normal unaltered way of things. Let it flow.
oaiey··on Apple, Intel have reached preliminary chip-making deal
Or use it to de-risk their supply chain.
oaiey··on Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent
But that is a choice of an individual. Not a central place rolling it out.
oaiey··on Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent
And then they made the ram and ssd so expensive :)
oaiey··on Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent
It is changing the product significantly. I wanted/consented to a browser. Nothing more. Agreeable, nothing new with the browser vendor pushing plugins down our throat which are not browser core features, nevertheless not right.
oaiey··on AI can cost more than human workers now
I had that conversation with our AI VP recently. At a certain cost entertaining humans will be more cost effective from a financial and energy perspective. Especially on a global scale.
oaiey··on Technical, cognitive, and intent debt
There is a paper linked which is describing the whole thing!
oaiey··on Framework Laptop 13 Pro
As in sells a ton in azure. I am pretty sure they still love that.
oaiey··on State of Homelab 2026
Sounds more like a state of the private download engine to me :)
oaiey··on France's government is ditching Windows for Linux, says US tech a strategic risk
This. This is something which the current administration does not understand. We Europeans have done what Washington says for 80 years. We are behaving like a colony. We let the US have bases here, we follow their economical model, the petro dollar and let them suck the wealth out of Europe. You want military bases on Greenland: ask friendly, we already said yes in the 50s. You want overflight rights for your wars: we give them to you since 80 years. You wanted access to our fibers. Oh let us help you with that.

It is the deal and the tone. You gave us security and let us participate in prosperity. You acted friendly. Trust, security and tone is replaced by bullying. Why should we continue to bend over?

oaiey··on France's government is ditching Windows for Linux, says US tech a strategic risk
Oh Android OS is quite workable. The hardware is the problem. And there the whole world goes to South Asia / China. Same with laptops.

But yeah, a missing agenda item. I guess desktop first. Have not said that for a while

oaiey··on France's government is ditching Windows for Linux, says US tech a strategic risk
Not only that, they already built up Matrix for messaging which is already adopted elsewhere. They are doing the steps
oaiey··on France's government is ditching Windows for Linux, says US tech a strategic risk
Yes. Back then it was anti-mega-cooperations/financial/pro-privacy stance, but now it is a sovereignity thing.

And the Microsoft headquarter of Germany is in Munich. Tha means also potential tax losses if Microsoft moves away.
oaiey··on C# in Unity 2026: Writing more modern code
We are deploying .NET (Core) on Linux since soon 10 years. With hundreds of devs and dozens of services on thousands of servers.

We have not touched a Windows server in years.

In 2026 .NET is deployed like anything else into Linux containers and Lambdas. Obviously there are still people who love their ui based servers but that is because of that and not because of .NET.

Adoption of new features is gradually and explorative, obviously in an enterprise everything is on a LTS 2-3 back but adoption after that delay is rather quick to my observation.

.NET like Java have this "it is there and we extend it. And the new platform is also .NET because you have your dozens of devs already"

oaiey··on OpenJDK: Panama
C# / .NET. It was a big differentiator in one of our analysis.
oaiey··on Scott Hanselman says he's working on Windows local accounts
Yeah, correct. There is no reason to believe he can change that for Windows. But he will know where to address it really. But it will not change. Too much money at risk
oaiey··on Scott Hanselman says he's working on Windows local accounts
The .NET evangelist of that generation have been more than fine. No bullshit, no false promises, no lies, etc. Focused on communicating the change towards Linux, the performance work and so much more.

Scott is well connected in the dev and azure divisions. He has headlined dev conferences etc. But as an evangelist he only carries information. This change will not happen because of him but maybe with him. But I do not believe so. To much money at risk.

oaiey··on Scott Hanselman says he's working on Windows local accounts
He is a evangelist for cloud and .NET. he was one of the 5 public faces who moved .NET to open source in 2011 and beyond.
oaiey··on Scott Hanselman says he's working on Windows local accounts
Scott Hanselman is awesome, has a good connections in the dev and cloud folks (Scott Guthrie corner). He has some influence but he cannot shape Windows like that. I think what he says is that he advocates for it but I have zero hope.
oaiey··on XML is a cheap DSL
XML, Json, plain text, whatever, all does not matter. What matters is that you speak domain language. Speak the language of your domain, model your config or data in the language of the domain and users.

That is so powerful and the reason domain driven design is still a powerful concept.

oaiey··on Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%
While I agree with the last sentence, I would suggest you buy what is needed not what is latest.
oaiey··on US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere
And since euthanasia is not favoured by the religious right in the US (I assume here for sake of argument) it would be filtered by VPN / DNS anyway in the VPN
oaiey··on The Day the Telnet Died
I do not know what is more critical: the risk of censorship or stand by while hospitals, banking, nuclear power plants and other systems become compromised and go down with people dying because of it. These decision makers not only have powers but also have a responsibility
oaiey··on Art of Roads in Games
At a certain point these simulators would be so intense that your joy for the game could be your joy for real employment in a city :)

The statement reversed, you might loose your joy because working in the game is no longer fun.

I get you but just want to say: careful what you wish for :)

oaiey··on Art of Roads in Games
In my area, streets are often church tower to church tower. From the middle ages. You can nowadays drive these streets and the middle line indicators align perfectly with the church tower showing up. I think the church /church based government share that property right understanding of the Romans :)
oaiey··on Why more companies are recognizing the benefits of keeping older employees
Sounds like the person doing the performance review just relies on metrics. Sounds like a shitty leader.
oaiey··on The history of C# and TypeScript with Anders Hejlsberg [video]
Hmmm. I have a different take there: when you are young and wild, you achieve stuff because you think later and instantly produce code. When you turn older, you do it the other way leading to your example.

In the early 2000s I have been in a startup and we delivered rapidly in C# as we did in PHP. We just coded the shit.
