Well current popular systems are pretty much limited to Lustre and the new kid Weka, mostly Lustre though tbh.

You can try to use "standard" options like MinIO/Ceph(RADOS)/SeaweedFS but you will very quickly learn those systems aren't remotely fast enough for these usecases.

AI training is what this is used for, not inference (which has absolutely no need for any filesystem at all).
What makes the workload somewhat special is that it's entirely random read and not cacheable at all as most reads are one and done.

Would Lustre be perfectly fine at 6TiB/s? Yes. Is it a huge pain in the ass to operate and make remotely highly available? Also yes.
If this thing is capable of the throughput but easier to operate and generally more modern and less baroque it's probably an improvement.
TLDR is Lustre is fast but that is literally it's only redeeming quality. I have lost far too many hours of my life to the Lustre gods.

But for all practical purposes, that is dropping CentOS. They completely changed the identity of the product, so the fact it has the same branding isn't going to placate anyone.
The problem is you have to make a trade off, and for no reason. You might like iPhones in quite a few ways better than you like Android phones, but also really want to sideload.

So what do you do? Well, you have to compromise. And not for a real technical reason. You have to compromise because Apple's business model depends on being able to extract more money from customers and developers by being a gatekeeper.

Whenever a company's business model prevents me from doing something I want with a product they might sell me, I think twice about buying that product.
Killing Flash while not allowing side loading wasn’t some security win - it was just a way to seal off the walled garden to rent seek.

Switch back to windows - for me that is one of the things I struggle with on MacOS.

Creating a file at a path where I have my file explorer is so ingrained in me. It feels awful when I have to open an app then click through to save file where I want all those clicks are supper annoying because I already was in that place.

Awful thing getting current path from Finder to paste it in save dialog is also not really easy. So I am just not creating new files on MacOS.

On one hand I kind of get the idea that well you start with opening an app and then save your work and most likely it could be in default documents folder.

But years of other way I was used to work it feels annoying.

Basically I use Windows for like 30 years now and in that last 10 I use MacOs as primary OS for my personal device.
I think you are bending the meaning of the word license to the breaking point here. What your analysis implies, is that Mozilla needs permission to store and process your data in order to carry out the services implied by your use of Firefox. Obtaining a "nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license" is definitely an excessive move in that context.
so? That just means that it is not necessarily compatible with the current version of rhel deployed on our servers

When Microsoft acquired Skype (the company), it was clear they would kill it. Skype had previously been bought by eBay, for which it served the purpose of entering a new market. Then, it was bought by some investment funds, for which it served the purpose of making money. However, to Microsoft, which already had its Windows/Live messenger (which copied Skype’s homework anyway), Skype served no purpose except to remove a competitor. They did not have a reason to develop it.

I’m surprised, in some ways, that it took almost 15 years for it to die. If Microsoft absorbed the Skype tech in 1 year and rebranded/reskinned Live Messenger to look like Skype, they could have been done with it in 2012.

Now, they are retiring Live Messenger and Skype. Two technologies have become zero. It is interesting that they chose to go this way.
As an avid AOL user, that is the worst version of the internet. I remember keywords and thinking that was the internet. Whatever some large corporation had paid AOL so they could build a shitty little Visual Basic type app that controlled everything you looked at. There were no ads because the entire experience besides the chat rooms and IM was an ad. It was a lot of people's first email accounts but spam blocking was so bad back then I count that as advertising.

I remember being blown away by discovering people would randomly make private chats and trying to guess at what the chat name would be for things I was interested in as a kid. Then I remember having my mind blown that AOL had a built in browser where someone had built a website, not a keyword, that actually had my niche interest that no one in real life did. Then I discovered you could download a much better version of that experience called a browser.

Your idea is just Facebook where you can't link out and is fully corporate controlled. Which I guess is actually Twitter.

I think you long for the Internet where people had hobbies and interest because they enjoyed them, not because they thought they could make money by talking about them.
Well said, I feel the same. While I never used gopher I still remember e.g. the usenet vs. web forums. I mean being able to add images and stuff like that to discussions was helpful in many cases, I prefer the user experience of the usenet.
Spotlight search seems to have gotten better, while Alfred search has had me rebuild my index more than just a few times and it doesn't cope well with nested directories.

Something happened in 15.1 onwards for me where Spotlight has become way faster and way better. But yes, Alfred used to dominate in search and speed as well.

And now without cutting it conveniently before the fun bit:

> Mozilla doesn’t sell data about you (in the way that most people think about “selling data“), and we don’t buy data about you. Since we strive for transparency, and the LEGAL definition of “sale of data“ is extremely broad in some places, we’ve had to step back from making the definitive statements you know and love. We still put a lot of work into making sure that the data that we share with our partners (which we need to do to make Firefox commercially viable) is stripped of any identifying information, or shared only in the aggregate, or is put through our privacy preserving technologies (like OHTTP).

You appear to have cut off the part where they say that actually yeah they have to stop saying they don't sell your data because they are selling your data.

Why did Spotify prosper and grooveshark fail?
The only alternative is giving up web browsing completely, because the 'new' Mozilla isn't any better than Google or Apple.
About 0.81 Jupiter radii with 50-70 times of mass? That gravity must hurt.
- "It's not unprecedented to have an open source license with revocation or termination clauses,"

Yes, but aside from jokes[0] it's unprecedented for an OSS license to attempt to restrain the purposes for which end-users use software. That's incompatible with the definition of free software ("free", as in "freedom").

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSLint#License

- "Before that, the JSLint license[4] was a derivative of the MIT License.[5] The sole modification was the addition of the line "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil."

- "According to the Free Software Foundation, this previous clause made the original license non-free."
So, he's "The Founder" (title) but not "the founder" (concept). Got it.
I was using Google Voice for a while, which is nice because it is free and never had any issues receiving SMS. A US phone number is required to activate, so I used a US relative's phone number to activate and then just disabled all the forwarding features so calls and SMS would never be forwarded to that number.

Unfortunately, I went so long without actually using it that they took my number away (my fault because they did send me a warning but I just forgot about it). Now I'm in the same boat as you as I had switched to a Skype Number after that.

But Google Voice is a decent free option to consider if there's someone in the US who could help you with initial activation. Until Google finally decides to kill it, at least. I'm frankly surprised that Microsoft killed Skype before Google killed Voice.
Spotify did not have a friendly environment, it was more passion that made it possible. I hope they can stand up against the giants like youtube, apple etc.

I have no love for Spotify but they were pretty revolutionary when they released mainly because they managed to go legit so early.
> the unwillingness to put up with shit cooked up by bunch of 25 year old CEOs, CTOs, and the like

You haven't seen the shit written by 50++ senior and principal 'developers'. Imagine local variables names 20-40 chars long. Then they are passed into function call, like 15-20 of them. While actually these are just 3 structures. I.e. 'gurus' unroll them into individual elements and pass. Long names to make the code what they call 'self-documented'. No comments at all. And all this is in a big project with other devs working on it for years. It's absurdly slow for the project of this size and resources. But with almost no competitors this can last for decades and it actually does.
That's simply not true. I regularly find Firefox to be faster than Chromium. And the opposite is also true, but the difference isn't big. None of the two browsers has a clear advantage, and neither gets in the way of normal usage, nor in the way of heavier usage (I do some light data crunching and 2D convolution in the browser).
Well, two things:

1. There are lots of people who get upset that their Nintendo won't let them install other things. There are hacker/homebrew communities that have formed around pretty much every console.

2. Phones are general-purpose computing devices. Consoles are not, even though modern consoles have hardware that is more or less the same as what you might find in a general-purpose computer.

> However, I see no reason why Apple should be forced into helping you do that.

It's the opposite problem: the default is to just let people do that. Apple has instead gone to the effort and work to lock down iOS to prevent sideloading. So no, Apple shouldn't be forced to help people sideload, but they should be forced to stop hindering people from sideloading.
This is very frustrating. It becomes impossible to use the web in a privacy conscious way. I know that Firefox wasn't perfect, but it was the best we had, and I have been a loyal user, despite minor quirks and annoyances. And now this… Guess will have to find another browser.
Lol, what do you guys think the cartels are ?
Mozilla's goals are still much more aligned with my own than any other browser vendor. Not even close. It's not a betrayal, it's a difference of opinion between friends.

Edit: If that. I personally think this Terms of Use thing is a storm in a teacup.
Full context, from the link you provided: ""Mozilla doesn’t sell data about you (in the way that most people think about “selling data“), and we don’t buy data about you. Since we strive for transparency, and the LEGAL definition of “sale of data“ is extremely broad in some places, we’ve had to step back from making the definitive statements you know and love."

I don't think that's an unreasonable stance, and they're still explicitly saying "We are as close to not selling data as it is legally possible to be". This is reiterated in the linked Privacy FAQ on their official site: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/faq/
Not just disappeared. In fact someone literally died…
"Actions speak louder than words. "

Indeed. Talking about privacy and having spyware and ads activated by default and now this probably to legally safeguard this and more speak a very clear language.

The only reason to still use FF is indeed, that the competition is worse in this regard.

But that will change, once Ladybird becomes mature enough.
> one-sided lens that they might characterize as emphasizing this kind of stuff when conservative administrations do it but downplaying when progressive administrations do it.

Conservative administrations are worst tho. That is the objective reality. And as of now, there is not left wing analogy to what conservatives are doing. Democrats are not perfect, but common, the aggression and fanatization of the actual party is not even close. It is moderate center on the "left side" vs the thing we see on the right.

One sided lens are the ones that achieve "equality" by euphemism away conservative goals and behaviors while trying to paint their opposition in worst possible light. Obama wore tan suit which totally breaks respectability of the presidency and therefore, he is equal to Trump who talks about "grabbing women by the <body part>" kind of false equality.
What I want is something that can read the thread out loud to me, using a different voice per user, so I can listen to a busy discussion thread like I would listen to a podcast.
Confused. What do Firefox's terms of service have to do with puritanism ? Have Firefox developers become puritanist or something ? That would be extremely surprising if true. Any evidence (anecdotal or otherwise) to this ?
Merci for the feedback.

A/ I had a current level display before, but now the menu is in its place. I guess once you pass level 1 i could display your current level instead of "menu" at the top right. I also want to show the score and multiplier, i'll have to do hard choices.
B/ Yes, letting users pick the next level is a great perk, it's a bit of a code change but not that hard, i added it to the possible new perks list.
C/ This perk already exists (menu/unlocks/+1 level) but you need to score a bit to get it.

I've played a lot of nova drift where the is a lot of complexity to the upgrades system in-run. In previous versions of breakout 71 you would permanently unlock perks level by level but that was a lot of code and not contributing much to the fun, so I got rid of it and you for example just unlock all 3 levels of "extra level" at total score 13000 (all run scores summed).

I did restrict some perks about ball to ball interactions (ball_repulse_ball, ball_attract_ball to having first picked the multiball perk) because otherwise they'd do absolutely nothing.

The misses, coin catch % and level clearing speeds are already tied to an in-game behavior of having more options and being able to upgrade more than once after a level, so I don't know if I'd also add another thing that depends on it. Keyboard users (where it's really hard to not miss 50% of shots) will be mad :)

I never heard of Mario style time unlocks, that sounds like silly fun. You get something for finishing the level in a sepecific amount of seconds, no matter how many minutes?
I’ll route this to my grandma and my gen Z relatives who never touched anything outside of an iPhone, thank you for your very insightful comment.
Boris Spassky: 1937–2025
Did Skype ever, like, actually work? I gave it a few chances over the years, but personally, despite living in an area with very fast broadband, it was always had quality issues. For me, Ichat and Hangouts always worked better.
Seconded for Zen.
I mean Tesla self driving advertising is as much of a fraud as theranos… maybe it’s not as bad because it wasn’t a medical device?
I think the trade is not only privacy but complexity. If I have to be a full-time system administrator for my one machine or set of machines, it really takes a toll. I'd rather just hand that work to a conglomerate. Linux in theory could also do this, but nobody has nailed it yet. By far the best advances have been package managers and those are only a fractional solution. For a person who does not have hours to pour into study and slamming their head against a keyboard in despair when something inexplicable is off, it is really hard to recommend something as fragile as linux. And I don't mean fragile if you "know what you're doing," I mean fragile for someone who doesn't know what GRUB is, doesn't know what a kernel does, doesn't need to ever see a compilation flag, and suddenly they're exposed to all the above when an update goes sour. There are, of course, efforts to make things return to a graceful state gracefully, but until there's an off-the-shelf solution for "rescue my machine remotely" that can run through all phases of the boot process, I think most people are gonna want to use something where they can blame a vendor instead of their own ignorance or lack of time to bone up on a topic as nested as open-source operating systems.
As with everything there’s lines you can bend and lines you just don’t cross. Gambling with your clients’ deposits is always going to mean jail time. Timing is also important, for example the US basically has given up on consumer finance protection laws and white collar crime being a thing, so while big companies can still sue you the government will let you get away with anything you like. Go for it!

Arc is a Chromium web browser that also includes uBlock Origin in the default install.

Orion is a WebKit web browser from the folks at Kagi that supports both Firefox and Chromium extensions (including on iPhones and iPads) and has zero telemetry, and I have the Firefox version of uBlock Origin installed.

Firefox is not the only option for people that want alternatives to Chrome that support uBlock Origin.
But Skype for Business isn't even Skype. Wasn't it just a rebranding of MS Lync?
I agree that it’s not surprising, but I’d suspect that the name and a lot of the infrastructure will remain in various places. As others in the thread have pointed out, Teams appears to use a lot of Skype’s architecture.

GroupMe is also still listed on the App Store with Skype as the developer, though their website lists Microsoft as the developer instead. GroupMe has seen recent feature updates, so I’d suspect it would be mostly unaffected. Interestingly enough, GroupMe still has a public API [1], so in that sense it is more open than Skype is these days.

Also of note is that the Microsoft Account sign-in screen still accepts legacy Skype names as an alternative for an email address or phone number. It would be interesting if the ability to log into Microsoft Accounts this way outlives Skype itself.

As a file format, this is just fine, but I feel like there's some conflation between a file format and software meant to interact with that format.

I use plain text accounting for my business, and it's lovely to be able to enter bookkeeping data with a plain text editor and keep it all under version control, but the next step is using a program such as hledger or beancount to work with that data.

I'd love to work with plain text calendar software, but it would still need to do things such as provide a mechanism to work on my desktop and mobile device. It would need to handle recurring events automatically, and it would need to allow me to invite others to events and ideally to track when they've accepted or rejected my invites.

I'd need to be able to update, cancel or propose to move events in such a way that others would be updated.

I wish I knew of a good command line tool to interact with CalDav or similar servers, or that I could maintain my calendar in a file format and then handle the synchronization automatically.

Maybe calendar.txt could play a role in that, but on its own, it's not quite enough for me.

Is it really that different from having the .com of a word today?

I struggle to see how you got to that conclusion, but it's an absolutely true statement nonetheless so I cannot complain.
How could a machine provide emotional support? When I ask questions like this to LLMs, it's always to brainstorm solutions. I get annoyed when I receive fake-attention follow-up questions instead.

I guess there's a trade-off between being human and being useful. But this isn't unique to LLMs, it's similar to how one wouldn't expect a deep personal connection with a customer service professional.

"Hold Option while double-clicking a window's corner to expand the window to fill the screen." - this is the most important tip for macOS, IMO. I still don't understand what's in their heads that they don't maximise Safari/Preview to the full width by default.

Can confirm, as a Teams and Skype protocol reverse engineerer for Pidgin, that most of the Teams protocol including text messages started as Skype (not the decentralised one) and has had additional layers of stuff added over the years on top. The calling for both Skype and Teams still uses a websocket with a "reverse webhook" called Trouter, which lets the client respond to events as if it were a webserver responding to webhooks, and then does a handoff to WebRTC. When I first started writing the Teams protocol plugin for libpurple, it was easier to start with the Skype plugin than to start from scratch.
Curious - how well does this support the 'long-tail' features? What I mean by that are stuff that relatively few websites use, but requires a large amount of code to support? Things like WebCodecs, WebRTC, WebUSB etc.

Does this have a CanIUse equivalent?
