frameset··on Warren Spector – 40 years and I'm still here
I think you're confusing the original Deus Ex and the Eidos Montreal prequels. Those were the ones with the outsourced boss battles.
frameset··on A list of recent hostile moves by Google's Chrome team
Because you're a frog boiling in a pot. The URL we're discussing has a list of coming changes to weaken uBlock and other privacy or content blocking features.
frameset··on List of APIs that require declared reasons
Yeah that's general purpose computing for you.

Though I do note that one of these apps was on the curated store anyway!

frameset··on List of APIs that require declared reasons
I have android phone. I develop a cross platform application (FOSS). Every time I push an update to the app store version it's easily 4x the work of the play store equivalent.

I also have to pay apple £80 for the privilege of having my app available for free on their platform.

I would just like to be able to provide users a file and say "here you go, install this" so I don't have to pay apple to bless my software.

frameset··on List of APIs that require declared reasons
Please bring on the app sideloading EU. I am tired of this app store bullshit.
frameset··on Google abandons work to move Assistant smart speakers to Fuchsia
Hey, it's a family name.
frameset··on Twitter has officially changed its logo to ‘X’
Thats actually a really cool idea. The big PR agencies who rep for actors, authors, musicians etc, could run an instance and that's where the person's identity would be.
frameset··on DSReality: Turns a DS game into a 3D image that floats above your controller
"Walled garden" doesn't describe the Mac platform.
frameset··on DSReality: Turns a DS game into a 3D image that floats above your controller
It would be, except Apple don't allow emulators inside their walled gardens.
frameset··on Dt: Duck tape for your Unix pipes
Yeah the memory usage of the pipeline is real. Often using foreach instead to save memory is needed. Or good old fashioned array chunking.
frameset··on Dt: Duck tape for your Unix pipes
In my profressional life I have cause to work with Powershell a great deal, and I love the object oriented pipelines that it has.

Being able to filter, sort, or transform properties of the objects passed over makes it much more straightforward to work with than bash et al.

frameset··on Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing
Your last example conflates the idea of private property and personal property.
frameset··on What do historians lose with the decline of local news?
This is already happening in the video game space. Crazy Taxi has the excellent licenced soundtrack removed from its modern editions.
frameset··on iOS 17 app sideloading might only be available in Europe
I'm an android only user, and I think what GP is referring to is that apps can categorise their notifications. In your food example, an app might have categories for "delivery updates" versus "special offers", and you can go into the notification settings for any app and turn on or off categories.
frameset··on Rational Dress Society
Thanks for linking this channel. Her costumery is so interesting and elegant.
frameset··on Paris votes to ban rental e-scooters
> They would be far too expensive to rely on for commuting or predictable use.

In my city they have a season pass option that makes them economically viable for commuting.

frameset··on How we deploy faster with warm Docker containers
You forgot the very vague email subject that instead of saying "Upcoming Price Increases", it says "An Update on Functions".
frameset··on Browsers are essential and how operating systems are holding them back (2022) [pdf] (2022)
Ha, you make a good point.

So instead I can show them the same site they're on, but with no ads. Wait for the "how come your view looks different?"

frameset··on Browsers are essential and how operating systems are holding them back (2022) [pdf] (2022)
How does Red Hat Enterprise Linux fit into that classification? It's both commercial and open source.
frameset··on Browsers are essential and how operating systems are holding them back (2022) [pdf] (2022)
I do try and evangalise for it when I'm with others and they complain about ads on their android web browsers. But it's a tough sell these days.
frameset··on Is tipping getting out of control? Many consumers say yes
Would the Americans With Disabilities act apply here?
frameset··on ‘Breakthrough’ obesity drugs that have stunned researchers
Over time it will even out. Also if you weight out the whole dish it's easier.

I'm assuming we're talking about e.g. rice dishes or stews, curries, etc. "one pot" dishes. Otherwise if it's like steak and vegetables, you can weigh each steak and the vegetables, do them in different racks of a steamer etc.

frameset··on Early retirement and ageing population causing labour shortages: Lords report
Hmm, suddenly these employers will doubtless be calling for state intervention.
frameset··on Blue Peter discovers the Internet (1995) [video]
"Minor Attracted Persons", I think OP is trolling.
frameset··on I hate telephones (2017)
He mentions spam callers being a problem, and something that has basically solved this for me is the Google call screen feature

https://www.theverge.com/22792060/call-screening-android-12-...

This video shows it clearly in a real demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R04GxUr6ibM

You can easily screen people with the text to speech and block spammers without picking up.

frameset··on Why A4? – The Mathematical Beauty of Paper Size
That's absurd to say. Of course people care about the sizes of their cars and kitchens. And they need to know the weight of bricks when thinking about weight tolerances in construction.
frameset··on Illustrating Gutenberg library using Stable Diffusion
If I was a commercial artist doing illustration work for articles or the like, I'd be getting worried about now.
frameset··on Stable Diffusion is a big deal
Is your third example correct? Andy Warhol was famous for using photographs of existing art and transforming them only slightly. Roy Lichenstein literally took panels from DC comic books and magnified them and became celebrated in the art world for it.
frameset··on Give nothing, expect nothing: Gitlab latest punching bag for entitled users
You make an excellent point. Where I work our company policy was that Linux VMs in Azure were either RHEL or CentOS. Since the scrapping of CentOS we've switched to Ubuntu LTS, with Premium support from Canonical where needed. I can't imagine we're unique in this.
frameset··on Google’s video chat merger begins: Now there are two “Google Meet” apps
I'm in the UK, so it doesn't affect me, but is there a reason the USA and Singapore are different?
