Legacy code is still around for a reason. It’s not usually just a matter of refactoring it, but the business logic tied around it all.

Good luck lmao. Cisco will be underwater in years if they actually commit to this.

I don’t get the impression he’s fallen in the trap at all.

More so, he sees it for what it is. It’s a tool that can help, but needs smart people that can validate its output. It can’t design entire systems nor effectively solve real world business problems on its own. It’s not going anywhere, so may as well adapt to our new reality.

Worst part is google could kill Firefox at anytime because they provide a very large amount of Mozilla’s funding.

It’s tough.

Kids are going to use their phones for random bullshit in class no matter what if they are allowed, but phones in general can be a fantastic learning tool used in the classroom.

I wonder if we might eventually see schools distribute phones like they do laptops, even though that in itself is rare. It would allow the school to lock them down during school hours. Maybe include some option to buy out the phone/number when a student leaves.

A common complaint of not allowing phones is that students can’t contact their parents quickly in an emergency or vice versa. A locked down phone with “emergency contacts” fixes that issue.

As they keep going down this path, slowly communities on lemmy will grow.

It took Reddit nearly 2 decades to become as large as it is today. Lemmy/Open source platforms in general have plenty of time be become just as big.

Or maybe I’m just coping at the permanent loss of something great.

At this point I’ve accepted that the USA has ceded(purposefully?) its top spot on the world stage to China.

Really cool of valve to do this and include a full tutorial.

Just about any other company would keep it closed and sell the accessory with proprietary software; then if that was not commercially viable, would just not release anything at all.
