are you saying google is betraying them unless they sell new chromebooks with 10y chromeOS contracts going forward until the heat death of the universe?

No one here is saying companies need to offer products forever. They do need to honor their commitments made in the past. For purchasers who bought more than two years ago and those who purchase after today, there's no issue. They are getting what was promised prior to their purchase. People who bought in 2024 or before will get 10 years. People who buy tomorrow will get 8 years.

The only issue is for those who purchased Chromebooks in the past two years. They purchased based on a promise of ten years support. Now Google is retroactively clawing back two years of that support. If today Google had announced 2036 as end of support instead of 2034, there'd be no problem.

It’s straight-up false advertising and they should be held accountable.

I would prefer the Microsoft way, where they double the cost every few years with extended support, super duper extended support, and more.

Then when my organization inevitably fucks up the migration we can pay money to bail ourselves out rather than being out of compliance.

Can you quote the part of my comment that you think says that?

new Voight-Kampff test just dropped

I wish I could turn off empathy at my convenience.

why

because github shouldn't expose their users

usually people bring up anyone who is losing physical control of their voice faculties, so they can have a synthetic voice that matches their natural voice

As an example of this, Sarah Langs uses a synthesized voice due to the progression of her ALS symptoms.

The iPhone has a built in voice cloner hidden in the accessibility settings for exactly this use-case: creating a backup of your voice in case you need it in the future.

Yeah, but its only available for english IIRC.

temporary solutions often become permanent...

When I have to do a temporary solution, I purpusly make it as junky as possible and as PITA to use as possible.

his argument is he already has the phone and doesn't feel the need to contribute two devices to the landfill instead of one

ive been hearing x-stink

I pick Azure but not Microsoft (?)

I've been testing out herdr, how would you compare this featurewise?

Similar kind of idea, similar in terms of features. Obviously there's a big difference in feel, Saggar being a mac app with terminals, rather than living in your existing terminal app, and I think Saggar really makes the most of that difference.

Beyond the UI, monitor & quick run windows, and rich command palette, I think the way Saggar orients your activity around your projects (e.g. a git repo) is really intuitive over the workspace model.

I'm still working on coverage for Pi and OpenCode though!

My suspicion is that Herdr will go this way with the YC relationship; they are keeping the runtime open source - the thing their terminal UI is built on- and there’s no reason cli needs to be their only target. Your app is very nice looking!

They may well do!

Thank you!

i read the article as caring about the values, principles, and goals of the human beings driving it.

if you are looking exclusively at compiled bits and bytes and/or quarterly statements then I agree, human/societal judgment seems irrelevant.

What values and principles are supposed to be preventing cloudflare, the internet and technology company, from exploring hot new internet markets and technologies?

the constant "fights" with Vercel instead of delivering shareholder value by refining the product

I'm not even sure if I would know who Vercel is if I were at Cloudflare. The scale between the two is staggeringly different.

That makes it worse, not better.
