MS in fact is good with backwards compatibility only under windows/related software and maybe xbox, those bragging about MS' love of legacy aren't wrong, they are just focused on their almost historical product, what made Microsoft.

We can't say "no big deal" tbf, because for example Office files had fairly good longevity across updates (not perfect, a lot of file broke).

BUT anything else (embedded, cloud, AI, when they poisoned web standards, etc) isn't really under that much lauded backwards compatibility AFAIK.

Right, but in my case the API still has 1 year of support , so is negative backwards compatibility, MS devs break things before it;s end of life. Maybe I should be sorry, soem poor guy is tasked too work on the old API while the "cool" devs play with the new toys and maybe sabotage the other guy.

>I guess the inflection point was PG turning to X to screech about "wokism" in support of oligarchs like Trump and Musk to snap this community out of it's pro-PG trance. Watching a billionaire cheer on the billionaire class as we plummet into technofeudalism is a hell of a wake up call.

In hindsight his (and Andreessen's techno-bullshit) have won a bet with Trump, those tweaker writings are very much aligning with the zeitgeist that's being imposed by Trump, Musk and their lackeys, they may even brag about having get there earlier than every other rich techbro.

Don't get high on your own supply, like zuck doing the conquistador in Kaua'i

Make them include the full post in feed.

Not again, not another D thread noooooooooooooooooo (i'm joking)

All your base belong to D!

There has to be a ChromeOS good enough for the US military complex (and only available for AWS, GAE, Tencent) to see Microsoft worried. All they're doing is showering MS with cash working with Microsoft sanctioned APIs.

It's justified when the committee is large enough and regulated enough?

Every character in this story used mostly internal tools plus I don't know the rules in NCSU, but the reactions around his issues look like weirdly huge. "Retired" at 63?

> Which people? The Europeans were occupied or liberated under effectively caretaker governments.

They were occupied but they weren't entirely busy: while "low" people were happy to kill ex-Nazi collaborators themselves, it's the post-war governments (all of them, USA's included) who needed, with those trials, to manifest a re-establishment of the rule of law once again. 80 years later we can see it's been a hypocrite farce in every part of it, but it saved lives, those that were worth of living, although spared Nazis, fascists and sometimes communists too.

> who needed, with those trials, to manifest a re-establishment of the rule of law once again

Do you have a source for this having been the motivation?

I’m admittedly most familiar with the French and American perspectives. Those weren’t concerned with pacification but creating an international sense of the rule of law and legal basis for the occupation and restructuring of those societies.

How would someone detect sensors so small?

How would someone excrete an array of these cameras if ingested?

If you eat something the size of a grain of salt that isn't digestible, excreting it poses no problem.

you could detect the supporting electronics with a nonlinear junction detector but they are not cheap
