Hard to make HP printers worse, but this might actually do it

In Hungarian, it’s “négy”, but it’s actually only three letters, n, é and gy.

The problem is that so is the junior dev they hired to do the two seniors’ jobs who left for less inhuman pay.

Code problems are usually people problems.

I do since it’s a better service

I’d love if this became a thing.

You don’t even need to cast in Python, a reference is a reference.

This seems to be good news, right?

They want to own the internet and all the voices on it. That’s the long and short.

Is that the one with the external launcher requirement?

Worst I did was a few dozen radiology departments

I’ll be saving this next time I need to give myself a pep talk.

“At least you haven’t taken down an entire cloud provider today!”

Network Solutions is just took down DigitalOcean

Lol what?

I was thinking of getting it, what’s up with Stalker 2?

I don’t know about the GoTY thing, this year has not been that great with games.

I’d go with either Satisfactory or Slay the Princess, despite neither of them being real 2024 releases, they both got their most recent actually complete edition released this year, and they are better than anything else I’ve seen that was actually released this year.

Maybe MSFS 2024, but it’s niche and also, fuck MSFT.

Best game I bought myself this year is Hearts of Iron 4.

I know it’s insidious. This shit sandwich has so many layers by design that it’s easy to misinform even courts, much less people with limited time or willingness to talk about these things.

Google has agreements with the manufacturers that prevent or heavily disincentivize the manufacturers from doing that, otherwise they essentially can’t use Android.

It’s all Google.

Straight out of Unauthorized Bread from Doctorow

I don’t doubt something shitty is going to happen, but that would still be better, since Google would have to pay for fucking up the internet instead of doing it for free like now. And on the other hand, wouldn’t Google have to pay more than its competition combined for exclusivity?

Imagine Google pays Chrome 1 million schmeckles for exclusivity, if Microsoft and Amazon would show up saying they would also pay 1-1 million just for access, then Google would realistically need to pay at least 2 million for it to still make sense for Chrome. Something that used to be free for Google now is something that they need to outbid their whole competition for.

I’d imagine if Chrome was split, all the integrations would either have to be opened to other companies, imagine “log in to Chrome with your Microsoft account”, or would have to go away.

At least Google wouldn’t be able to treat web standards as their own playground any more, so other browsers could compete better.

Could you expand on that? Why couldn’t Chrome exist like Firefox does?
