Hardware-assisted RAM compression and decompression in real time. This is an ANCIENT concept and Apple's the only one doing it.

You can enable it with Linux too but there's no actual hardware support, so it's slower because software has to be run to compress and decompress the RAM.

I don't understand why people complain about this. Apple's not advertising twice as much RAM, they're truthfully saying that with their compression, it's like having double the RAM. And it is.

You dare to not use the LGBTQIAHAH+-friendly snake case? Then you must write a flag that itself is snake case, and maybe the compiler will grant you permission.

You VILL write the cumbersome and angering snake case.

Stop saying people don't use desktop Linux because it's hard.

that only applies when you're trying to rice your setups with weird shit and larp
i'm on gentoo and i'll admit its buggy, but when running native linux software instead of trying to use compatibility layers for windows shit it runs better than windows
when i try to treat it like windows and run windows programs through proton or straight up just a VM through qemu, it pisses itself because of some weird drivers issues (its an older computer though)
just use your generic DE, and generic easy to setup distro, with stock standard options that automatically detect all the shit you need, and you'll have no issues at all
and i could do that aswell, but im human waste that wants to do shit the hard way

changes owner and permissions of the installation folder (/usr/local shouldn't be owned by your user)

package manifests are written in a literal who language (Tcl)
lots of packages are either unmaintained or SEVERELY out of date

That hasnt been the case in decades. Yes in the 2000's era you could get away with that because it was an emerging industry and there was no one available to do that but by the 2010's you had tons of people available.

>There's no trial lawyer bootcamps or people doing surgery for fun as a hobby so no other industry has this problem.
This isnt really fair either. I get where you are coming from but bootcamps and hobbyists are only seen as entry level regardless what their skill level is and every job posting out there is for senior devs with 10+ years experience. Lawyers and Surgeons arent required to display there skill by doing work for free every time they interview they are taken solely based off of experience and degrees. You can be a senior dev with a degree in CS but you still have to go through a bunch of hurdles like leetcode tests.

Back in the 2018s bubble you could get jobs paying 80k that only asked for 2 years of experience with Flask.
If you had advanced looking projects on your github they'd just count that as experience.
I got more than $200k almost exclusively because of a really good tiktok clone I stole off someone.
I dont know the 2000s market but as far as I can tell you actually needed to know what you were doing. For 18 or so months a couple of years ago anything that asked you for "React experience" was free money.

>Lawyers and Surgeons arent required to display there skill by doing work for free every time they interview
Lawyers are expected to be lower than secretaries and take up slop jobs for more than a decade before they're partnered, if ever. Some lawyers spend their whole life doing actual garbage jobs.
For MDs you have internships and residencies which are somewhat similar in that you're piling 4-5+ years post-grad of doing the shittiest jobs your boss can find for you before you can work on whatever you wanted to work for.

Leetcode and modern interview culture blows but if I was an employer now I'd also do 60 interview phases. How else would I know?

I'm comparing it to Chromium and Safari. Not to Netscape and Internet Explorer that ceased existing ages ago. Mozilla has completely stunted firefox's growth and made it clunky, bloated, slow and unstable as fuck. The entire browser feels like it's held together by tape, using ui elements, opening new tabs, rendering images or animated media, everything feels fucking terrible compared to chromium. It's like 60hz vs 120hz

But it's not clunky bloated or slow compared to how things used to be. I guess it makes sense to compare it to its contemporary competition but they all feel fast to me and I'm fine with using a fast browser instead of a fast+ browser if it's produced ethically and I'm free to do as I please with it. No way to theme Chrome to match GTK4. Manifest V3. Proprietary shit, integration with Google services. Yuck.
>>
>>102476243
There are chromium forks that are fully FOSS and have everything connected to google stripped out of them, for example Ungoogled Chromium. Not sure about GTK4 theme as I don't use that. But you do you, it's just way too clunky and slow for me and I wish mozilla could put some actual effort into that instead of pretending that it's somehow faster in specific benchmarks doing shit nobody does in browsers and avoiding the issue.

Functional cookies such as those used to track active login session are exempt from needing notice. Also, cookies aren't a topic of the GDPR per-say, but of the ePrivacy Regulation -- or rather the myriad of present-day implementation in member state law of its predecessor, which was a Directive rather than a Regulation.

It does not simply reduce the image quality by a desired amount, it changes the image by brazenly removing features, potentially important ones, without telling you. It uses a chosen contrast threshold for fine details and simply removes these details if its contrast differences are below this threshold. It disappears from the image and is replaced with a monotonous color without even a hint that there was something there. This isn't compression it's forgery, it's deception, it's image fakery.
JPEG XL is the real winning format. It preserves all fine details even the faintest ones whereas AVIF at the same file size replaces it with a monotonous area. It's a shame that Chrome (and all derived browsers) has decided to discontinue JPEG XL support citing lack of interest while promoting and spreading the inferior, deceptive and dangerous liar that is AVIF.

Is the internet an example of a biological software system? Alan Kay seems to strongly imply it in the talk "The Computer Revolution Hasn't Happened Yet": https://youtu.be/oKg1hTOQXoY?t=2749
Why is there not more software that is designed in such a way? By that I mean as a system made up of smaller components connected to each other that is alive in the sense that the components can be added, modified, removed without the system ever going down similar to how a biological organism works.
Is it really because instead of objects the world decided to mainly use data to represent reality?
