"Micro chips" cost almost nothing in bulk. They are like a barcode sticker, but sub-surface. Even the scanners are affordable. Plugs right into USB and emulates a keyboard that sends key strokes for the chip ID. Full-size Parmigiano wheel can cost a pretty penny.

Containers are over hyped. They are so stupid for home use. People put init systems in containers, then run the entire pile of shit in Docker as root, and talk to me about security and resource isolation. And then all these shit Alpine containers with that MUSL joke. You really can't take any of it seriously anymore. These people want Windows or a mobile phone.

Flatpack is using OCI so they can publish their shit on any registry. Just another way to pollute an existing ecosystem with garbage nobody really needs. Easing the installation of crap onto your system is not a goal worth pursuing

Global neolib/neofac coop is strong until they eat each other

Social Media is an entirely different game if you're not doing it for manipulation purposes. At scale, government operated social media fails, due to lack of or excess moderation. Social media works because it triggers emotions. People go there to hate. Mastodon is methadone for these junkies.

I don't even understand why anyone would trust any self-published metrics from this scam artist.

His stock manipulation game certainly has changed lately

How did they verify their bots are talking to humans? Have them solve captcha? You're running a science experiment on fucking Reddit. GTFO

That's because they don't understand how goods work in IT. People lose their shit when Netflix increases prices $5

Regulation. Where I'm at, a device capable of making phone calls, must allow emergency calls by any user. Data is all you can get

Bots

A rumor of plans??! Tell me everything!!!

This is so wild. I really don't miss Flash, but since Steve killed it with the iPhone, Web development has spent more than 10 years to reinvent the ActionScript3 environment and make the entire web depend on it. And who solely prevented AS3 as a web standard from happening? Chris Wilson, Web Standards Tech Lead at Google, in his former role at browser monopolist Microsoft.

Today, every single piece of the web is designed by Google to further their business. And all these fucking Electron applications...
