That’s not a financial decision. That’s just them lacking technical expertise. And let’s be real - the S is not some kind of potato. It’s perfectly capable. You need ever so slightly less detailed 3D models and textures than on the X but I don’t remember this being a huge issue during the PS4 generation.
Not having lots of SKUs and a user-managed OS is kinda what the console experience is about. Steam OS does not deliver a console experience. Steam Deck kinda does (except not really), but Steam OS is just a part of that.
MS has sold more S than X, according to a quick google. Not sure why you’d want to port a game to Xbox Series X without making the game playable on S.
All modern motherboards support ReBAR. Not sure why you’d be against it.
Depends. But this is why businesses love Microsoft and AWS. Support in perpetuity.
NixOS is like that every day for no reason
Mastodon has terrible discoverability. It feels like a ghost town. It’s just not suitable as a Twitter replacement.
Microsoft Azure already leaks secrets and nobody cares. As long as it has all required certifications it’ll be fine.
If you use something often you learn to handle the bugs and “it just works”. If you use a product rarely then it’s not gonna work as well
That’s illegal, unfortunately. Only qccredited investors can invest into private companies. There should be a lower limit on that rule, say $100 or something, so naive investors could invest play sums in potentially shady stuff. But there isn’t, so you can’t.
I think it theoretically can’t be done. The protocol allows anyone to query for posts, and it has to work that way unless you want to move ActivityPub federation to an invite-only system. On most servers I think browsing while being logged out is sufficient, just like on pre-Musk Twitter.
Mastodon also doesn’t let you prevent people from reading your posts.
Mounting solar panels on roofs - like all roof work - is dangerous.
Unfortunately not. For me the main problem is discoverability. There’s no recommendation algorithm except for boosts. I’m not suggesting Mastodon integrate some kind of machine learning or other advanced stuff, but number of likes from followed accounts and a threshold would be nice for a start. As it is, Mastodon is just bad for entertainment purposes. Maybe it works for other purposes, but for entertainment I’d rather have the algorithm-fuelled quote-tweet dunking on Twitter.
MySQL sucks, and almost everyone who willingly use it also sucks.
Funding issues, according to the article
Dude. You played an RPG in spite of the story. There are better dhooters out there. Go play those instead
No, the way it’s often used is closer to “posh guest worker”.
It’s more that the bureaucracy is so complex and fragmented that it’s incredibly hard to digitalize. Lots of small fiefdoms that are entitled to make IT purchasing decisions themselves means paper is the only universal interchange format. In addition there is an unwillingness to change how things have always been done, or to simplify procedures. So there you have it: The German bureaucracy is too fat to move.
Idk. Musk seems to have gone completely mental. Dunno what the cause is, but the man is not healthy. Not sure how much self-reflection he’s capable of.
