  So the current situation in Windows ecosystem is that application developers spend time working on protecting users against their own operating system

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack overflow is almost dead⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So I agree, I thought you are talking about some profit enshittification on Stack Overflow

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack overflow is almost dead⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For me, strict rules are what make this website useful. No threads named “help me” is why I like reading it.

  For newcomers there is stackoverflow.com/staging-ground

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack overflow is almost dead⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, what do you mean “easily downloadable”? Can anyone download the entire corpus of SO in a way that they could set up their own SO with the same content to bootstrap them?

  have you seen: archive.org/details/stackexchange

  That they exploit our efforts to cash out and then sell the service for someone who will enshittify it for profit.

  Can you give an example of this enshittification for profit?

  People seem to be happy because of SO becoming irrelevant. I really don’t get it, I used this website for many years now and for me it is the second (after Wikipedia) most valuable source of knowledge. The UI is clean, no intrusive adds, best answer is the most visible. Threads are well organised and on topic. No spam, no dark patterns, no wasting your time. Discoverability is great, you can easily browse and learn knew things. It is also SEO friendly. Why do you prefer Discord? What do I miss!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack overflow is almost dead⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What exactly do you accuse Stack Overflow for? As far as I know this service has always been free to use and data is easily downloadable.

  Ok, so how can I, as web developer, monitor if my notifications are rejected by this?

  do you think I am masochist or what, better give me gnu/linux on mobile ;)

  Please, do not post clickbait

  And they use ULA’s Atlas V rockets even though Amazon’s CEO owns a competing rocket company. Space is hard 😂

  Thank you for reminding me of existence of this network. Have they already joined fediverse as they promised?

  What is that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT spends 'tens of millions of dollars' on people saying 'please' and 'thank you', but Sam Altman says it's worth it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, have they just realised that not every single thing computers do is actually useful to anyone? I think screens that show things when nobody’s looking cost a lot more on a global scale.

  Naah, boring

  Forgejo is such a terrible name 🙄

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple ordered by EU regulators to open up to rivals.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But it’s still possible, right? It’s just a matter of doing something in one second versus several?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple ordered by EU regulators to open up to rivals.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can someone explain to me, a person that did not have any Apple device ever, what do they mean by:

  easier device set-up (e.g. pairing).

  So you could not pair non-apple device with your Apple device? And seriously no smartwatch could work with iPhone other than Apple Watch?

  If it wasn’t for Spotify, I wouldn’t know most of the artists I listen to now. They might receive little money from me listening to them, but it’s still more than they would receive if I didn’t knew about their existence.
