I would use the internet like I did back in 2005 I guess. Seriously… the necessity of these tech companies is a mixture of them sniffing their own farts too much, propaganda from them to ensure they are perceived as essential, and finally people being too lazy to find alternatives.
The conjecture that: when tech bros talk about “disrupting the market” it’s actually a dogwhistle for fraud and subverting regulations with illegal tactics quick enough to grow very big and influence governments to alter the policies in their favor; gets one more example to make it into a theorem.
The backend is not virtualbox stuff but KVM stuff. Only the frontend is virtualbox. so one can claim that it’s more apt to say this is “virtualbox-ui”
Worst advice ever. Your blood pressure will rise and you will wish you were a farmer.
Don’t hold your breath. Helps avoid disappointment.
May push users towards offshore crypto casinos
Which shouldn’t make us work in the opposite direction. Next step is regulation of the crypto space.
This would make it illegal for internet service providers (ISPs) and web-hosting services to support RMG platforms such as Dream11, Mobile Premier League (MPL), Winzo, etc. It would also force Apple and Google to remove such apps from their respective app stores.
Sounds good to me. These gambling companies grew out of nowhere in the past 10 years and have started dominating sponsorship spots in TV, Prestigious sports tournaments.
You’re ignoring 20+ years of how it was the only player when web wasn’t so big as it is today. It was a major reason windows became the default OS in many offices, and as an extension of that, in the majority of homes in the 2000s to 2015. Thus majority of software industry and video gaming companies made their home in windows. Adobe Photoshop, AutoCAD, and many other industry software was made to work in Windows first.
There was also the case of Microsoft tilting the playing field by significantly discounting laptop and Desktop OEMs for Windows license keys just to be the sole OS installed on many computers. The concept of a PC was one which was running some version of Windows.
This also lead to another compounding aspect: Piracy of windows software made the windows AD/Server experts of today. Since Linux was free, there wasn’t as much of an intrigue on running it vs. A pirated copy of windows running pirated copy of many software.
Unproductive Engineer here: I am not productive because of constant meetings about doing things. I am now not productive because of Meetings about doing things using AI.
Edit: Forgot to add, Senior engineers are too overloaded to do any PRs… So usually it takes them weeks to get around to looking at the code the manager wanted pushed two weeks back. And often, they miss stuff that seems obvious in hindsight because they are burnt out. The genius solution by management: Copilot code reviews. Yes, AI gets to nitpick about the curly brackets and tabs vs. spaces all over again.
but that’s just a choice whereas in C you have no choice but write flawless code.
You’re a rube if you think corporations can’t throw some money at interns do a rewrite in MIT and bypass GPL that way.
