I think comments are good in a first resort, along with the other points you mentioned. To me reading a single line summary and or explainer will always be faster than reading 15 lines of code even if it’s very well made and self documenting
Am I the only one who likes to write comments when I find code that took me a while to understand even when I didn’t write the code? It helps me when I go back to that place and it helps other devs that have to do the same figuring things out as me. Idk if I’m just weird but I really like writing documentations and commenting my code
I think it’s more like what Mozilla is to google; Linux to Microsoft is a tool to prevent antitrust issues
So that they can say they have a better screen on the marketing, because they know damn well the actual UX will be inferior, so they need a selling point
1080p is just fine, but it’s not good and definitely not great. If you’ve tried a high DPI display like the ones on MacBooks, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Using a computer at 200% scaling just makes everything so much more pleasing to look at, especially the text. The pixels are gone, so everything looks sharp and smooth. I really cannot wait for 5K 27" monitors with high refresh rates to come out. This will likely be an instant buy from me, except if it’s like 2 grand.
General high DPI with the same relative UI scale as 24" 1080p, but with much sharper visuals:
24" 4k 27" 5k 32" 6k
And the good thing is you can always set your game to use half the resolution and it will look as if it was the lowdpi equivalent, because the pixels are simply grouped using 3 neighbors, no fractional scale BS.
My laptop has a 3072*1920 screen that I use at 200% scale on Linux, and I wouldn’t buy anything that doesn’t work well at 200%. Apple seem like the only ones who understood this with MacOS that is designed to be used at 200% on basically ALL their retina monitors. this is why they have weird definitions, because they need to hit 200%, and based on the size of the display, a standard resolution won’t reach exactly 200% and the UI will be too small or too large.
Since the first second their video released I thought to myself “what a bunch of delusional apple wannabes”. From the way their marketing videos are shot, to the way the product looks, it just screams “WE WANT TO BE APPLE”. Except their idea was shit from the beginning and they had probably gotten VCs to give them money so they couldn’t just can it. It’s literally a 700$ microphone with a useless projector, and a 24$ a month openai subscription. I see a lot of people saying “this could have been an app” and I have never seen something more true. This is literally peak silicon valley bullshit.
Why would I use a Google VPN anyways
Intel is involved in risc-v chip development
Yeah… I prefer to blame the tool (one could argue that I’m the tool)
I’d go out of my way to install the necessary plugins on vscode before I’d use Eclipse. I can’t even figure out how to open my damn project that I accidentally closed FFS!!
They want to be apple so bad. I can’t wait to watch Krazy Ken’s video on this in a few years
I have not used Microsoft or Google as a primary email provider in years, only Tuta or Proton. Never had a single issue communicating to either google or Microsoft.
People don’t use xmpp because it sucks, the UX is close to terrible and setting up a server is a hassle. The documentation is very lacking and the client options are very scarce. It is plain old and people have moved on to Matrix anyways. But still, I have used XMPP recently a lot thanks to JMP.chat. xmpp is very much not dead and there are very much improvements made regularly. What I’m trying to say is nobody uses xmpp anymore because it’s old and outdated, not because it was killed, because it was not.
Most websites are not bloated because they want to extinguish http wtf. They are huge because of stupid JS libraries and frameworks that web devs use for every little feature. I can guarantee you if Google or Facebook could make their website as pretty as they are while being 1kb, they fucking would, the bandwidth costs savings are worth it for them at their scale
They just want to avoid EU regulators. And also that EEE thing is just bs fear mongering “they want to take mastodon away from you!!!1!!!”. Email still exists and is alive, xmpp still exists and is alive, http still exists and is alive, all open standards and protocols that have been embraced by big tech companies. Big companies using and connecting to other servers can’t make them disappear. People who use the fediverse today won’t stop using it tomorrow even if the theoretical mass exodus to the large platform happens like described in that one blog post, because the fedi power users of today are there because they don’t like meta or twitter. There will always be users on activitypub whether meta uses it or not, and nobody is forcing you to use their platform either.

Yeah I think it’s all gone, but maybe some old comment got restored
I had to get an extra 32GB of RAM for my computer for my mobile development class, now Im stuck at 35% usage at most with 48GB… At least is was just like 90$. Better than my PC freezing every 5 minutes
Not on my PC 😎
