Good observation. Could it be that Microsoft lowers profits by including unnecessary investments like acquisitions?

So it'd take a 100M users to sign up for the $200/mo plan. All it'd take is for the US government to issue vouchers for video generators to encourage everyone to become a YouTuber instead of being unemployed.

Thanks, this clears things up. I didn't know what exactly was making print IO slow.

I don't use any complex TUIs. Pretty much everything is CLI or GUI. Which TUIs did you have in mind that were slow?

I'd like to test this soon. I'll look for a modern TUI framework.

I've never seen a slow terminal emulator. Most terminals have tabs and splits. Never experienced compatibility issues. Don't care about Zig at all.

Are these all the reasons? Another toy software written out of boredom.

Worst case is that grocery, and restaurant purchases become publicly accessible if it leaks. I use adblockers, so all the targeting is wasted. Privacy concerns are oversold, and exploited by VPN companies and DeleteMe

Seems like a fork of mumble with better UI would work for you.

Thanks for explaining. I use group chats for IRL friends. It's strange that some prefer mastodon because of the twitter format. I suppose it's like private Facebook groups.

I like the sharp distinction between private stuff and searchable stuff. So it's good to have them as IM vs forum formats.

I just pictured Altman when I read "fight managers".

That's too many beaks for you to break. You'll have to wait 20 years for robotics to improve.

How do you test without servers and VMs?

Perhaps Apple's walled garden is the reason why so many shitty mobile web apps exist. In a civilized world, Apple and Google would agree on a UI standard.

I don't think it's the reason why the app economy largely failed (sure, mobile games are a big exception). I hope the vibe shifts back to software being a tool to enhance productivity rather than a rube Goldberg machine for entertainment and ads.

I see people buying $300 AR glasses as a portable monitor to watch porn comfortably while in bed.

Ironically, Zuck is all about FAIR now. Shouldn't it be MAIR now? :)

I've met Android devs with iPhones, so the answer is probably yes. I don't know if Xcode is worse than Android Studio or Flutter. I honestly just hate mobile development in general because it can't be done on the same device as the code runs. It feels like driving while wearing boxing gloves.

It took Apple 15 years to break free from Intel, and that pushed Qualcomm to make laptop CPUs. In many aspects, it's more impressive than the iPhone.
