I think it's likely that Chuckie3 is continuing this grand tradition with impunity.

Which is the position the Monarchy absolutely wants you to have, and they definitely don't want you to know that they have veto power over all laws, and regularly intervene and get laws modified so that they're not included in scope.

Meanwhile they just gave themselves a massive pay rise, at a time when government is cutting public spending in all areas.

1/ Force apple to eat a price hike. Failing that, they can:

2/ Terminate their relationship with apple

3/ Go bankrupt trying to sell $2 for $1 (which leads us back to point 1)

My claude code environment shows me cost per token used in that session, according to API costs. It regularly exceeds $200. I pay $200 a month for my claude subscription. That's fairly obviously subsidised, unless you genuinely believe their unit costs are 100x less than what they're charging.

If you do have cross-session memory enabled, I agree this is not glowing performance. If you don't, then I think it's working exactly as intended.

I think that was very hardware-dependent. I don't recall what hardware I had, but it had a > 90% success rate of resuming from suspend and/or hibernation under Windows XP.

Apple's advantage there being pretty obvious: they control the entire range of hardware

> You still have to turn off USB power management on a windows machine to avoid serious problems just as you have to turn off Bluetooth power management if you don't want to be connecting and reconnecting your headphones several times a day.

The irony being that I still have to turn wifi and bluetooth off and on on my macbook air regularly today, as airplay stops working every ~10-20 transfers / every other week.

This is dependent on jurisdiction. Some countries (e.g. the USA) do not consider spirit/intent (anymore), as the judiciary has repeatedly ruled that the letter of the law, as written, is what matters, regardless of whether it meets the intent of what the law was written to achieve.

There are other countries in the world, outside of the USA, that do not work this way.

1/ ZFS datasets with hourly (or daily) snapshots

2/ Samba with vfs_fruit

Gives the peace of mind that even when the sparsebundle shits the bed, you can rollback to a suitable snapshot and only lose a small period of backups, rather than having to lose the entire history and start again from scratch.

(I say when, not if, through considerable experience over the last 15 years that it will always, inevitably, shit the bed.)

This exists because domains (historically) used to be expensive by western standards. .com used to be $75/year back in the day.

I'm the only person on this network that would even look at Github, and my connection has a dedicated IP, no CGN.

Computer used to mean "human who does math". Before machine computers, we had human computers. Machine computers replaced all of these human computers.

If all open issues are actionable items, that makes expected workload a lot easier to handle.

If most open issues are actually in "needs triage / needs review" state, you lose the signal from the noise.

The issue tracker for a project exists primarily as a tool for maintainers, not for outsiders. Yes, the maintainers could change their workflow to create a new view that only shows triaged tickets.

Or, they could ensure the default 'open' view serves their needs.

I think the GP is focusing on:

> I guess we're giving up on the idea that you're free to do whatever you want with software you own? ... But I see this as no different from DRM and user hostile

If I clone an open source git repository, I should be free to point an LLM to review it in any way I choose. I can't contribute code back, but guess what, I don't want to. I want to understand the codebase, and make modifications for me to use locally myself. I don't have a dev team, I have a feature need for my own personal use.

The LLM enables that. The projects that deliberately sabotage the use of LLMs cease to be providing software that meet the 'libre' definition of free software.

I'd have to disagree. There's a narrow band in the middle where that's true, but once you exceed that, your personal inputs and outputs matter less and less, and the contributions you make to the overall workplace, and how well you enable those around you, make a larger part of why you're compensated.

Even as an IC, the more you're able to mentor and elevate the people around you, the more your compensation will grow (if you're in the right place, and thus already at the right earnings bracket)

https://ente.com is open source, and self hosted, and end to end encrypted.

You can also voluntarily cut off huge chunks of your own app ecosystem intentionally, by giving up 32bit support and requiring everything to be 64bit capable.

...because users have no other choice when only one vendor controls the both the hardware+software. They can either use the apps still available to them, or they can leave. And the cost of leaving for users is a lot higher.
