As someone who makes a living supporting servers running various forms of software, almost all of which is open-source, even just the things I know of the top of my head have large dependency trees. Just look at a base install of Ubuntu, you probably have no less than a thousand projects supporting the system. That doesn’t even begin to include additional functionality, install PHP or Python, even just system drivers, and you can easily double or triple that count.

I wasn’t prepared for a project of this magnitude, seriously OSS is everywhere
There’s much more value outside of the screen than inside the screen. The internet is finally becoming less an escape from reality and more just an extension of reality. This feels very anecdotal, I wonder how much of this perspective just comes with age.
Not only a late addition, but purposefully not clarified or explicitly stated at the beginning, or even at the end, of the article. This is like fine print, tucked into the content of the article so that you have to read the entire piece to get that information. Even then, if you are in the midst of the article you might not even consider how it impacts the framing. They also use distancing language there to avoid as much as possible connecting themselves to ownership.
Is Wired owned by Advance? The answer is yes. Condé Nast is a subsidiary of Advance. Advance has a 30 percent stake in Reddit.
This is why they call it “the Internet’s Greatest Authenticity Machine” because we know there’s nothing authentic about that cesspool. There’s even less authenticity behind a biased news article framing itself as disconnected from the subject. Not once do I see mention of Wired’s relationship to Reddit, if your owner has a 30% stake you should disclose that.
Edit: even more important is that Condé Nast itself acquired Reddit in 2006, which is where Advance’s significant stake comes from. Is that supposed to be inferred or understood prior to this article? News media needs to be accountable for this kind of reporting.
Who’s shorting RDDT?
But those VR headsets are so heavy and my neck muscles are atrophied from years of playing on my phone
I’m going to somewhat disagree, at least in principle. In the past three years I have heard so much good new music, music made in the last five to ten years, or even music made the year I heard it, that I think it’s out there. It’s just much more difficult to latch onto. There’s so much new stuff that’s just palatable, there’s a lot more access to music making gear and equipment that just about anyone can release an album now.
Popular music is mostly dictated by the law of supply and demand, if an artist is easily marketable then a record label is going to invest. Most streaming platforms are designed to spotlight up and coming artists (most marketable artists), or those artists who already have massive fanbases (market stalwarts). This wasn’t any different 50 years ago, but 50 years ago there was a higher standard for what music got to be released. There was also a much higher bar to entry for recording studio-quality music.
It isn’t radio though because hardly anyone listens to the radio anymore. It’s probably because there is a practically small amount of radio listening that people have started grabbing onto anything that sounds basic and easily digestible. The less they’re challenged, the better they feel about it.
This isn’t the kind of content you’d find on reddit now is it?
For ChatGPT Enterprise it’s one of their selling points. It implicitly states that individual and free accounts lack any of these privacy protections.
Hey I’ve seen this one before!
If it’s free ChatGPT everything is recorded and can’t be deleted or removed from their database. You can however delete data and opt-out of saving conversations, sharing conversation data with OpenAI if you have a paid account.
My company uses Teams and Outlook, both of which have to be PWA on Linux and they’re terrible in that form. Also, being able to run Logic and Final Cut will be an added bonus. The main reason for the switch is reliability, iOS isn’t an amazing OS for tweaking and personalizing down to the kernel level, but it is great for having an environment to just get stuff done. I’ve worked with numerous iOS devices in the past and have never felt like they are unreliable.

I just bought a MacBook because I’ve been trying to do Linux for work but there are some things that just don’t work and I’m not interested in Windows. I’m turning into an Apple bro, someone help me.
This is remarkable in the sense that not every company or every company’s offering is profitable in the cloud space. Broadcom definitely just looked at the numbers and decided this service should be cut wholesale.
Is it right? It’s a corporation that just spent $61 billion on this, when were they ever concerned about right and wrong? They exist to gobble profit.
I couldn’t give a Windows computer to my grandparents without it being buried under a pile of catalogs and magazines, maybe used once or twice. That’s anecdotal but I definitely don’t think it’s uncommon.
There’s a Bocchi the Rock community!? I’ve been missing out
