The lock-in is the point.
I mean, why else would Apple invest in something like this. They became the richest company in the world by increasing lock-in in every step.

It excels in "transfering style from one thing to another thing" basically.
However every time I asked it a factual thing that I couldn't find on Google, it was always hilariously wrong
At 7 years old, she has mental capacity of 2 year old.
With the right help, she can be somehow functioning, but surely won't get into STEM. Being "weird nerd" is pretty orthogonal to being actually autistic.
> The Pitcairn Islands have a population of a few dozen people, the descendants of the mutineers from the HMS Bounty.
Ah that seems so beautiful...
> The islands became notorious in 2004 when a third of the adult male population, including the mayor, were convicted of child sexual abuse
Oh

>The criminal charges stemmed from a longtime island practice of “breaking in” girls as young as 10.
> Colleen McCullough, the Australian author of The Thorn Birds and wife of a well-known Pitcairn descendant, harshly criticized the British for prosecuting what even the Foreign Office grudgingly conceded was a “cultural trait.” She said, “It’s Polynesian to break your girls in at 12.”
....oh.
Well. OK. That was NOT in Moana.
People firstly care about migration, Ukraine war, things around energy, and secondly culture war topics. At least in my country, that stuff dominated the debates. (Especially the Ukraine war support.)
People don't care that much about chat control, GDPR, cookie laws, file sharing (the original Pirate topic), or even USB ports on iPhones. They do care but not that much to vote for them.
Is this from the github page itself or from github?
It's like they took entirely wrong lessons from App Store.
It is using Chromium Embedded Framework, so it's not using native UI. But it also isn't Electron.
I don't see any Node.js anywhere in Acrobat Reader.
...ok the /bin /usr/bin nonsense still stays after decades, maybe you have a point
Still GDPR is unrelated to what we are talking about
It doesn't properly load the given substack (it seems to stop loading it in the middle), but it looks fine. :)
Surprisingly, loading Google Maps even work, but I can't seem to do more than move the map around. Github even works!
So far it seems better than Servo in throwing random sites at it, but I last tried Servo years ago so it's not fair. I guess I will try Servo now for the heck of it
edit: yeah Servo still seems worse, but it loads the whole substack post :)
switzerland is NOT in EU
I think AI will be better at story point estimation than me.
And Copilot/Windows.
A fridge produces about 100 times more energy than a phone.
* in large parts of the country, there is just sun at least half of the year, yet solar power is basically non-existent, basically all (edit: not all, but most) is coal. if renewables are so great, why are there no solar panels anywhere, in a country that is all sun? I saw some wind turbines in the central mountains at least
* a lot of electricity is used on ACs, every house has at least one AC - how did people live before ACs were invented? can't imagine
edit: it seems Summatra doesn't support PDF forms? Either AcroForms or XFA forms?
try to ever read any code for PDFs and see all the horrors.
Google gave up and just bought the code from foxit.
oh well, it's not 2012 anymore, let the past die.
Maybe.
