They did.

• Android 10 Quince Tart
• Android 11 Red Velvet Cake
• Android 12 Snow Cone

But yeah, the codenames are almost never mentioned.

It couldn’t download while an app is installing. So while an already downloaded app was installing, you had nothing downloading until it finishes installing.

It’s not like getting Ublock Origin from the official website instead of the Chrome Web Store is some kind of a problem.

Ok, well “broken” sounded like, you know, that things don’t work.

They didn’t:

• Android 12: Snow Cone
• Android 13: Tiramisu
• Android 14: Upside Down Cake
• Android 15: Vanilla Ice Cream

They stopped using the codenames in marketing, but they are still there.

What’s broken about it? I use Kubuntu and everything is working fine.

It’s technically correct, the same way Wikipedia is encrypted, because you access it over an encrypted HTTPS connection. Doesn’t make it any less public.

Telegram is also encrypted, but not end to end encrypted (in most cases), and of course Telegram can see your messages, and public group chats are public. But yes, it is all encrypted. Just not in a way useful to this conversation.

Most countries already have roads. That doesn’t make them inexpensive, just means the cost was already paid.

How do I play my VR games? How do I test the cross platform application I develop runs correctly on Windows? How do I update the firmware on a device for which the firmware updater only works on Windows?

I use Linux. These are some of the reasons I keep a Windows VM around. So no, it’s not true there is “literally no good reason”.

Try to campaign for and get up and running such a nationwide government issued ID system and then tell me how inexpensive it was to do. :P

It really depends on which language you want to use.

It’s a tool in a box. Maybe an artist can use it get some inspiration and not actually use any of the generated images. Or generate a backdrop for their portrait drawing. Or generate a composition they like and then draw over it.

Wut? Are you serious? You’re just going to boil down an entire artform to that? That’s an unbelievably reductive opinion.

That’s kind of the point, isn’t it? People might spend a lot of time learning the different AI tools, how to supplement them with post processing and manual edits, how to combine them and how to nudge them in the direction they want, and then spend countless evenings trying to get the result they want. And people are going to say “they just AI generated it, they are not artists”, just like people might say photographers are not artists, they just take a photo.

But we know it’s far from “just” taking a photo or “just” generating it with AI. Sure, you can “just” do both, but the result will be far from real art without all the preparation and extra work.

But it’s easy to take a random shitty AI image to laught at, just like it’s easy to take a random shitty photo.

I like Vivaldi and they are going to keep V2 support for a while. I will switch to Firefox when it’s gone, but for the time being I am happy they are keeping the support.

Then it would be good. But they already tried making one.

The cybertruck has enough issues that I wouldn’t want one, but yeah I would like a car looking like that, if it was actually a good car not made by Tesla.

What’s up with everyone calling it ugly? It’s a shit car, but I think it looks cool. Something that has no place in reality, but fitting in a video game.

Same with all cryptocurrencies having a “white paper”, as if it was anything other than marketing crap formatted like a scientific paper.

Clearly an unpopular opinion, but I think the Cybertruck looks cool. It’s a bad car which you shouldn’t buy for many reasons, but in terms of looks, I like it. It’s unique, definitely stands out on the parking lot, and the retrofuturistic aesthetic is my vibe.

There is no popup whatsoever during navigation. The alleged popup screen is actually what appears when you yourself click a pin (whether normal or sponsored). Nothing ever pops up by itself.

The article was corrected, maybe you read it before that happened.
