I feel like that’s psychological torture

I’m pretty sure it can’t really reach beyond his final breath

GitHub has been around for nearly 2 decades and was largely considered a mostly good thing until maybe the past couple of years. Also important to add that Microsoft seems to mostly have left it alone for the first couple of years (possibly with the exception of Atom, which it left very alone)

In addition to people just generally being slow to change, changing can take quite a bit of effort for some projects for varying reasons. Many of those same projects struggle to keep up with the maintenance workload, so they’re not going to jump at the chance to add more work to their plates.

Finally, some people just don’t care. For instance, the MIT license being popular is pretty hard evidence that FOSS doesn’t necessarily mean anti-corporate, and for many users GitHub still more or less does what it says on the tin.

Though I will say if the service disruptions and ad-injection bullshit continue you’ll only see GitHub competitors grow. GitLab seems to be going after their enterprise customers with some success.

Amex just flying under the radar inexplicably

Yes I understand what “such as” means before anyone says

Food or dopamine depending on the kind of yearning

Yeah if it’s not owned by a bank, it will be owned by an institution that runs (or otherwise has access to) a proprietary interbank network. In most countries consumer financial services are super regulated legally, so everything gets locked down

I think there’re a few crypto based ones out there from when people were trying to make bitcoin in shops a thing, no idea if they’re even still maintained.

If you’re talking about a traditional ATM that hooks into a specific bank or interbank network, you’re not going to find a complete system, because the banks basically only want machines they (or partnered banks) own talking to their systems.

Depending what you’re interested in though, Linux based OSes (standard enterprise RHEL and the like) seem to be becoming increasingly used, but there’s still probably a big majority running some form of windows (or funnily enough OS/2). And a quick Google has shown me the industry has seemingly actually worked out an SDK for talking to the ATM hardware that’s catching on, XFS4IoT. However the software written by the bank to implement that SDK and actually talk to the banking network is (and basically always will be) proprietary software.

Okay so this is embarrassing, this article is the one that led me to realise the JD.com name I’ve seen pop up in a few places recently has nothing to do with the British sportswear brand JD Sports…

A few things make a bit more sense now…

Weinstein also threatened to replace Jackson with Quentin Tarantino or John Madden

Hahahahahahaha can you imagine

A literal ghoul

Get in the sea you warmongering Epstein beneficiary

How long before it hits America where they don’t monitor this kind of thing anymore

Laugh

A good baseline philosophy is that nothing really matters on the internet, especially on forums and social networks like Lemmy, etc

As long as you genuinely weren’t an asshole, it’s just funny that someone would block frivolously in such a small community of people

If you were an asshole, the block is a moment to self reflect

No one who could use that money is getting a cent of it

It’s just another way to funnel taxpayer cash away from tax payers

Ahh yes of course, I guess I went straight to assuming it was HPE doing the investment

They’ve still got a pretty hefty server division and increasingly not using HP/UX, no?

Self preservation seems like a fairly obvious motivator

I don’t think you can bind a future executive like that, especially given the precedent set by Trump himself

Oh, I feel like I’ve gotta let you know the (post 2003/7?) Microsoft formats are technically “open” in that the spec is available for anyone to implement, license free

They saw ODF coming and made sure to kneecap any advantage

#3 is an incredibly recent development. You don’t need to go back even half a decade before everyone was happily gargling Microsoft

Microsoft had an almost total stranglehold on Office productivity software for about 3 decades, only their formats really mattered. I think they still have over 3/4 of business & enterprise market share.

Google’s productivity suite is probably in 2nd place in terms of usage today (much more popular than office outside of business) which I believe doesn’t have an external file format, followed by either LibreOffice (via OpenOffice, the originator of ODF) or maybe even the Apple suite.

Essentially the support isn’t super ubiquitous because, especially until recently, the percentage of documents created in that format is quite small compared to the Microsoft formats
