I've worked in the past with Beckhoff, Siemens and many other German manufacturers who also released a lot of software. They were all, without exception, terrible. The German industry has a serious software problem.
Please tell me more about how you will replace Photoshop with GIMP, Illustrator with Inkscape, After Effects with... err.. Blender, Premiere with... hum, AVISynth, maybe? Or yeah, maybe command-line ffmpeg, sure sounds good! Oh and InDesign, you can easily do the same thing in OpenOffice right?
Get with the times, upgrade your 10-year old operating system. You're not running legacy industrial automation software for a production line. Don't expect Adobe to keep supporting 10-year old APIs set for deprecation.
If Russia is blocking Telegram on the grounds that they won't give out encryption keys to the government.... what to think of the fact that Whatsapp isn't blocked?
.. YouTube Red is a pipe dream. Obviously it will fail if they keep limiting it to a handful of countries.
I would be willing to pay for YouTube Red, if it were available in my country.
What's so hard about accepting payments in other currencies?
Wow, a CPU benchmark on a physics engine? That's the best they could come up with?
My iPhone 6 runs like shit on iOS 11. But not because they slowed down the CPU clock. It's because clicking a text field now takes 200 more milliseconds. Typing a character adds a couple milliseconds. Scrolling happens at 3-4 less frames per second. It now takes at least 5-10 seconds for my camera to start.
If you want a make a real test, why don't you actually write a simple GUI app and make benchmarks on that?
I'm 100% sure that Apple purposely makes old iPhones run like shit. But it's not about adding nops. It's about adding lag to the GUI and forcing people to wait pointlessly all the time.
I know it's easy to start criticising the touch-screen in the Tesla as "dangerous", "not respecting years of research into UI/UX design", etc.
But don't these cars automatically stop or swerve in case of problems? Is it really such a big deal if you take your eyes off the road for a couple of seconds?
Weren't people criticising the iPhone upon launch, saying that buttons were useful and that a touch-only interface with a single button was ridiculous? And now, every phone is the market is just a touch brick.
I'm excited to see what will come next after this car goes mainstream.
And why do you think they want to kill everyone? Because they are just mean, mean people? How about 50 years of American imperialism turning their land to shit?
Yes, the answer to violence is usually more violence.
Yes, actually, that's correct. Were you trying to be ironic or funny? When somebody is intent on harming you, and actively trying to harm you, it's very unlikely that saying "Come on, hey, come on, stop that, won't you?" is going to do much to stop them from punching you in the face.
On the other hand, being clearly capable & unafraid of beating the shit out of them is often an effective deterrent, and if deterrence fails, employing your capability for violence WILL end the violence being directed at you.
There are all kinds of reasons why somebody would view violence as a legitimate path, and BEFORE somebody engages in violence, you may be able to redirect that intention using talk and persuasion... but once violence is employed, it's not likely you're going to be able to talk someone out of continuing the violence without being willing and able to defend yourself, violently.
What if this somebody is harming you because you keep stealing his lunch? Your idea is to keep beating the shit out of him until he can't attack you anymore?
There's a "really funny" story about xscreensaver, that you should look up one day...
Thank you for the very entertaining read. Now I know not use Debian anymore.
My favorite quote from that discussion:
I'm personally totally fine with having an 18 months old xscreensaver in Stable. As I am with nearly all other packages. I mean, it's Stable, not bleeding edge.
Guys, 1999 called, they want their Software Development practices back.

Nice try

Damn man, an LSD study in Zurich ... I missed out on some free acid
I think DirectX has a lot more things to make developper's lives easier, though I could be wrong. So I think it's a game of follow-the-market
By the way, am I the only one to think the demo video looks worse than some modern games that use approximation techniques?
So glad to see it back!
Do you think maybe next time you could tweet about it a bit earlier, so we know what's happening?

Ah, yes! Quattro Pro compatibility. Finally someone at the Document Foundation has set their priorities straight!!!
How do you think the old dropdown menus detected change?

What if you "forgot" it?
I've been having fun the past few months. Since when did LGBT become LGBTQ? And LGBTQI? And now LGBTQIA?
It's like this thing gets a new letter every couple of months. Is that some kind of trend?
So, these guys are some of the smartest hackers / rippers on the planet. They're the first to break a widely sought-after protection scheme.
And their first accomplishment is to release The Smurfs 2?
I guess the NSA spying tool they tried to install on their servers took a bit longer to setup than they planned.
I dare you to drag and drop a file from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner of the screen, using only your trackpad!
This is the IT equivalent of colonised territories being restored to their rightful owners.

Ever heard of a peace treaty?

People who look at CP deserve everything that comes to them. Including malware
