yellowfish··on Ray Ozzie's latest venture is a cheap IoT board with flat rate connectivity
many inappropriate relationships and sexual advances on employees while he was at microsoft

edit: you downvote this but cry about horrible the treatment of women at companies like Blizzard, get real it's the same thing except creepybill has more money and clout

yellowfish··on Ray Ozzie's latest venture is a cheap IoT board with flat rate connectivity
lotus notes, and a fill in for creepybill at microsoft for a while
yellowfish··on The UK’s delta surge is collapsing
> Deaths have absolutely plummeted

From my experience it can take a month or two until the plug is pulled, a lot of people who are discharged to LTACs also don't make it but it takes a bit

yellowfish··on The Day the Good Internet Died
the weekly posts like this always come off as self-centered to me, whining about how the world revolves around the author and how it really should've created the perfect community for them and sent it over without any effort on their part
yellowfish··on “Safari's buggy” is valid criticism, “Safari's behind Chrome in features” is not
honestly why develop for safari anyway? you can't really complain about apple if you keep bending over backwards to support their software
yellowfish··on Why does NBC make it so difficult to watch the Olympics?
Ah yeah it could be clearer I suppose, fwiw just using NBCOlympics.com and signing in with youtube tv (which I share with the rest of my fam.) is what I've been doing; I've heard of others using a ~$10/mo promo on sling and using that as a cable provider

all in all it's still better than trying to fight nba/mlb blackouts, where no matter who and what you pay you end up having to watch pirate streams (which also exist for tokyo2020)

yellowfish··on Why does NBC make it so difficult to watch the Olympics?
nbc's website has both of those, thats what i've been using anyway
yellowfish··on Mixed Reality with Passthrough
I think you're right, looking back on it my comment was kind of pointless
yellowfish··on PinePhone – Open Source Smart Phone Supported by Major Linux Phone Projects
Are you just trolling?
yellowfish··on Mixed Reality with Passthrough
I don't see how it's a weird opinion, I'm also speaking for myself others are free to enjoy the platform if they want I don't care
yellowfish··on Mixed Reality with Passthrough
Neat, but I still wouldn't touch oculus with a 10 foot pole especially when cameras in my home are invovled
yellowfish··on Physically Based Rendering Book
'as developers' don't speak for me, if you want to sell a book in a different way do it yourself ffs

As a developer I'm buying the physical copy, like I did the previous revision ( which is great btw )

yellowfish··on Asking developers to do QA is broken – why anyone should own QA
the more outcomes the better the learnings my friend
yellowfish··on GitHub Copilot
I think it's easier to bring people down to the same level rather then bringing them up to it
yellowfish··on GitHub Copilot
Is that a bad thing? sw-developers are grossly overpaid to the point it's damaging
yellowfish··on The Lightness of Windows
lol
yellowfish··on Reviews of Android TV launcher after Google added ads to the homescreen
there's nothing wrong with ads on stuff like this; televisions aren't sacred ground.
yellowfish··on AWS acquires Wickr
Yep, and TBH if anyone has first hand experience with the importance of messaging app security it's their current CEO
yellowfish··on Rally, a novel privacy-first data sharing platform
Mozilla has been known to be pretty iffy when it comes to 'opt in' ( the mr. robot tie in .. etc )
yellowfish··on Nvidia Canvas
Why wouldn't it be?
yellowfish··on Microsoft announces Windows 11
It's just teams replacing skype and easy enough to disable, the issue with IE was strong arming I doubt Microsoft is going to strong arm slack at any other level.. same goes for Onedrive/iCloud
yellowfish··on Microsoft announces Windows 11
Windows works well enough for me it's just a tool
yellowfish··on Microsoft announces Windows 11
I think amazon's appstore is free of google play services which could be a big reason
yellowfish··on FAA releases TRUST: Free online training required to fly drones recreationally
more likely it's so there's a legal ability to prevent someone from flying drones around if they are causing problems
yellowfish··on Ask HN: 90s programmers, what did you expect the future of tech to look like?
I thought WebTV was on to something big, in my mind more people would be spending time in interactive environments/encyclopedias and playing with 3d toys in their living rooms instead of passively watching television

now people watch more static video content than ever and are damaged to a point where it will take a generation or two to recover if it all -- whooops

yellowfish··on Apple is building the metaverse substrate
> Or, idk, I'm blind because I think Apple products are so

> great. The latter most is probably more likely.

Isn't Microsoft already shipping AR headsets to the US Army? if anything they are the leaders in the space

anyway, as far as "Metaverse" goes I'd argue we already have multiple and the presentation layer is just gradually changing

yellowfish··on Our journey from office-centric to remote-first
It depends on the work, there are a lot of dev jobs out there that are boring tech, boring co-workers, boring managers, boring problems
yellowfish··on “Great resignation” wave coming for companies
Google's opinions on anything are overrated
