Props to them for making it this far into the crisis without raising prices.

It had even led to some anomalies where Apple machines were a better price than similar Windows machines.

Are you saying US data centers idle in the night rather than serving European/Asian users?

Jabber/XMPP was designed around persistent TCP connections. Push notification support came too late.

Still feels like an alpha version right now. I'm sure they will add it later.

Graphite (which they seem to be inspired by) has frozen branches exactly for that use case:

Congrats on the payday :)

Do you think Anthropic might request you implement private APIs?

I think you should disclose that you work on the Google Chrome team in a post like this.

> [...] support Thunderbird is through donations

I doubt donations to MZLA Technologies Corporation will reach the Thunderbird project in any meaningful way.

They'll just use it to pay their executive salaries.

This is probably something that the platform HackerOne should implement. It can't be addressed on the project level.

DDG is only one piece in the privacy puzzle. I think the article doesn't make it clear enough that other pieces are necessary.

New comment by jannes in "Telefónica DE shifts VMware support to Spinnaker due to cost"

jannes — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 11:20:14 +0000

They will continue using the perpetual VMware licenses.

This article is just about buying support from another provider.

Obviously, right-click is for losers and you just have to drag and drop the folder icon from the title bar onto the Terminal app icon.

So cool! I wonder if I can use this software to plan an irrigation system for my garden.

Does the simulation also work on a smaller scale?

I thought the same, but it's actually just the default Color Palette being applied. You can change it in the preferences.

So installing Chrome is going to require 22 GB of disk space now?

New comment by jannes in "Cord didn't win. What now?"

jannes — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 14:22:42 +0000

They must have sold the domain to the job portal cord.co. I got an email about it in February:

> We're becoming cord.com

> Hi,

> Over the next few weeks cord.co is becoming cord.com. Adding an "m" to the end of our URL is one of the smaller things we've done. But it represents something much bigger: that cord has become the trusted source for tech hiring in the UK.

Try this CSS if you want to zoom in without the icons turning into a blurry mess:

  img {
    image-rendering: pixelated;
  }
