From what I've seen, there's actually two different levels of free tier. There's the one where you make an account and don't give them your payment info, and are on a free trial (availability of Ampere servers is severely limited in this, and they deactivate your account if you don't sign in often enough or use the servers you create), and the other where you give them payment information and set up a real account and get credits towards 200GB storage and the free tier compute.

My guess is that people who complain about their stuff being deleted are on the former.

Actual title: "Dave's not here, man. But this mind-blowingly huge server just, like, arrived"

This post's title leaves the word "huge" out, which breaks the readability.

+1. I've read in various forums they will only install it if the construction cost is less than a few thousand dollars. This means they will say it's "available" on the order page, but then decline to install it.

It’s not Apple Silicon specific either. I don’t understand the title. Maybe it should have been “Apple’s virtualization API and VirtIO driver support on Apple Silucon”

They are removing the Xorg server, but not X entirely. They will continue to support X through Xwayland.

Nice work! I was initially confused how to enter the notes, as I didn’t realize I needed to scroll down to see the keyboard (on mobile). I kept tapping the white squares but it did nothing.

I also wish there was a way to play more than one. Maybe allow me to do the previous days?

This is a link to their privacy policy, on a page titled "Visa Global Privacy Notice". Is the title of this post wrong?

New comment by IMcD23 in "San Francisco Activists Are ‘Coning’ Cruise, Waymo Robotaxis to Disable Them"

IMcD23 — Sat, 08 Jul 2023 06:21:30 +0000

I just rode Cruise for the first time tonight. Within the first 5 minutes of the ride, the car got stuck in the middle of two different intersections. Both times it just sat there with its hazards on while someone remotely tried to unstuck it. All the while, drivers around us were honking (rightfully so). Soon after that, the car turned right on red at an intersection with a sign saying not to.

These cars also drive much slower than others and frequently stop unnecessarily, which annoys every other driver, and causes more honking.

Based on that experience, I totally understand why folks are frustrated with them. Especially drivers who need to drive around these stopped cars everywhere.

Keep in mind that M2 has lackluster support. Specifically the Mac Mini has no display output (either via HDMI or USB-C DisplayPort).

I feel very out of the loop here. Who is this person, and why is it necessary for people to vouch for them?

A word of warning on this. It uses a custom fork of LLVM/Clang/Rust which adds support for a new architecture. The tooling that sets up this environment has failed in obscure ways each time I’ve attempted to set up and build one of their own hello world samples.

That doesn’t mean that every observable behavior needs to be supported or continue.
