I've been using a 12 Pro and if it wasn't for the version number in the name I wouldn't even be aware of its age. They are all so fast these days the battery dies long before it becomes too slow to use. If it wasn't for CarPlay and iMessage I'd absolutely use a flip phone with Android Go or something.

Additionally, as a high level emulator Yuzu sacrifices some accuracy for speed. It’s possible that this allows it to also be faster than the official implementation.

Noob. I once accidentally seeded to a ratio of 435 and blew 2TB of data 🥴

They also claimed to have “quantum” phased radar. Until we see it in Janes or other OSINT it isn’t credible.

It was rhetorical.

Unfortunately the problem lies with the foundation. The one thing they made worth a damn in the past decade was Rust, and they promptly fired the whole Rust team. Servo is maintained by the Linux foundation now ffs. What does the foundation do besides zombie walk and eat Googles money?

Cloud native as in “we were founded and began our operations fully remote and via cloud services”. Our company owns no physical assets.

I was hybrid at my last job and I’m full remote at my current one (company is cloud native), I will never again work onsite unless I’m seeing a huge raise for it. The office isn’t worth the time or politics.

Same. Install Firefox on a ChromeBook, which are almost all universally low powered, then watch it chug.

I don’t care how long the former CEO has been involved with the foundation, she has not been good for Mozilla.

When they’re done with you they don’t just destroy your life, but your legacy too. To serve as a warning to anyone else thinking of betraying them. That’s tradecraft.

I said something similar once before when they first announce me their decision to kneecap themselves, but it’s worth saying again:

They gained nothing from this decision. We used CentOS to trial deployments to prod servers running RHEL. We like how stable RHEL was. We appreciated the service agreements. We especially like how CentOS freed us from worrying about licensing. Their boneheaded decision ruined all of that. Before I left we had plans to migrate off RHEL (I asked an old coworker they actively are) because we can’t trust IBM not to Oracle us with some other world-ending BS in six months. Hundreds of RHEL servers and licenses gone, for what? They lost control of the open-source narrative when they shotgunned CentOS, and now the community initiative is led by people who don’t like them. Do yourself a favor and make it a priority to achieve Linux platform independence before RedHat is further Borgified by Big Blue.

Funny how the EU council considers iOS to be a big problem but not Microsoft’s behavior around Edge. Both need to be corrected, but only one has seen any action - and it ain’t Microsoft.
