Microsoft Sucks at Everything
  • I don’t know. Them being successful to me sounds like saying kidnappers can get girls. Might technically be true, but misleading. Microsoft managed to kidnap the modern economy by having had a good product previously. If we were to reset things, nobody in their right mind would go with any of the modern Microsoft products. They’re all objectively worse than their counterparts. But due to economic reasons and probably something to do with Stockholm syndrome and laziness, people are trapped in the Microsoft ecosystem.

  • Hundreds of code libraries posted to NPM try to install malware on dev machines
  • Because it doesn’t really solve much. After every update of external libraries, do you go through all the diffs to see if there is malicious code? Of course you don’t. And even if you would, it’s not even always possible to spot it. So all locking packages does is postpone the problem to when you eventually update. As an added bonus, you’re now vulnerable to all the legitimate issues that get fixed in those updates you’re not installing regularly.

  • Ask.fm set to be deactivated December 1st
  • I was more referring to OPs comment on how that statement is soulless. Unfortunately I only knew about this after reading it, because I can’t read minds. Who cares about corporate speech if they close down anyways?

  • Entire Mac Lineup Now Finally Starts With at Least 16GB RAM, Ending 8GB Era
  • I think the next thing people should complain about is the abysmal 256 GB of storage. That’s barely enough to fit the OS plus updates at this point. Should be at least 512 GB, given how basically free NVMe storage is these days.

  • How Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Became a Survival Horror Game (For One Mission) - Art of the Level
  • Loved the DLC, hated the level. I guess that’s to be expected though, as I don’t enjoy Survival Horror Games. I hate linearly having to try out all your options to see what works. I don’t see where the fun is in that. It’s just boring brute-force. There’s no room for creative problem-solving approaches and decision-making.

  • Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it
  • Amen. I am 100% convinced that the only reason Windows 10 was received this well was because of their tremendous marketing efforts around the release. People just accepted that it’s a great OS. It’s exactly like that Windows Vista Mojave experiment, just in reverse. In my opinion Windows 10 is even worse than Windows 11. But they didn’t do as much marketing around Windows 11.

  • Has SpaceX Done Anything NASA Hasn't?
  • As much as I hate Elton, SpaceX and StarLink have developed genuinely very great technologies. I feel like NASA could have done the same years ago already, but apparently it needed a space cunt to do it. Sure it sucks that StarLink for example is owned by Elmo, but honestly… better than not having it at all.

  • [Feature Request] Support for new „scaled“ sorting

    In October, a new sorting mode was introduced: „scaled“

    This allows sorting posts based on the size of the community in order to avoid the feed being dominated by large, active communities, and pushing smaller communities. This was one of the main blockers for me to move from Reddit, so I’m glad it’s finally implemented. Therefore, I would love to see this sort option be available in Avelon on supported instances.

    Thanks!
