That’s a very, very common project management analogy.

HTML / JS is still a buggy pile of slop.
In what world is JavaScript considered buggier than Flash, either in the actual content in the wild or the client-side software rendering/running that content? It wasn’t true when Flash died and certainly isn’t true today.
Flash was a security nightmare, with all sorts of kludges patched on to try to deal with fundamental flaws in how it handled privileges. If you want to go back to the days where zero click exploits can take over your machine just from a browser visiting the wrong URL, leave the rest of us out of that vision.
The current web experience is complete garbage in comparison.
Mm, and what makes you think that handing Adobe the keys to control everyone’s web experience would make it better?

on Intent to Ship: JPEG XL – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog in c/technology@lemmy.world · 5 Sep 2026
Apple’s Safari supports still images in JXL.
Perhaps more notably, Apple’s iPhone ProRaw supports JXL encoding for its raw sensor data. They’re laying the groundwork for JXL to be a supported format from the point of capture at the camera, through all the processing to make an image for web publishing or whatever.

on Intent to Ship: JPEG XL – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog in c/technology@lemmy.world · 5 Sep 2026
The killer feature is that JXL is better in that it can losslessly encode JPEG further, and the overwhelming majority of the legacy image files that people have are JPEG. That alone should justify its support, because there are a lot of files out in the world where the highest quality, closest to “original” quality file is stored in JPEG format. A format that allows for the further compression with zero loss of quality from those originals is really important.
And the other thing this article (and a lot of the discussion around JXL) chooses not to cover is how JXL is a good format outside of just web images. It’s not just looking to replace JPG/PNG/webp. It’s also looking to replace raw photography formats like DNG, TIFF, and other formats that are used for full workflows from image capture from the imaging sensor itself, from cameras to scanners to medical imaging.
If JXL succeeds at becoming the dominant raw capture format, the entire workflow of processing those raw images into exported web-friendly images will favor JXL for photography.

No, you’ve got it all wrong. Flash was buggy and insecure proprietary software written for proprietary OSes. I’m glad it died, after several years of trying to fight its normalization on the web, where you’d need to install shitty plugins like gnash on Linux to try to see the same web that people were seeing on Mac or Windows.
The web should always be built on open standards, and Flash was the biggest barrier to that ideal at the time that iPhones came out. Flash deserved to die, and I celebrated when it did.

on OpenAI Hoarding Tens Of Thousands Of Apple Mac mini And Mac Studio Devices, As ASUS And MSI Burn Through Their Entire First Batch Of NVIDIA RTX Spark Chip And Beg For More. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 31 Aug 2026
Steps that either would not work between architectures or that Rosetta would handle (thereby answering your own question)
What? They would compile the code that they control for the M-series architectures. The target architecture is M-series ARM chips running on MacOS.
Rosetta is for translating x86 to ARM. Which wouldn’t be necessary because there are no x86 binaries involved at all.

I don’t understand why Rosetta has to be involved in any way at all.
Apple provides APIs for programming low level GPU instructions, including AI workloads, on their chips, using the Metal API. Anyone interested in using Apple hardware to its full potential can just write Mac-native software, same as any other MacOS native software directly compiled as binaries to run on Mac M series chips. No Rosetta required for translating x86 instructions to ARM, when the whole thing compiles for Apple’s native instructions in the first place.

on GrapheneOS not supporting Pixel 11s? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 30 Aug 2026
In 2011, Motorola split into two companies, each with rights to the Motorola name and logo.
Motorola Mobility took the business lines related to cell phones. It got bought by Google, and then Lenovo.
Motorola Solutions took the business lines related to everything else, including (and especially) radios for law enforcement, fire departments, militaries, and surveillance video tech.

on What is your cloud backup solution? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 30 Aug 2026
Yup. My main living data is on a NAS, my on-site backup is an external USB enclosure with a SATA hard drive hooked up to a Mac Mini, all so that I can leverage a Backblaze account to back up the external hard drive with unlimited data.

on Android users can't remove nude-scanning app as Google opens the feature to app developers in c/technology@lemmy.world · 26 Aug 2026
Reportedly, the app uses an on-device machine learning model to classify the content.
Using your shiny new phone to train AI…
I would think the models are already trained, and then deployed to phones to do on-device inference. The models should be fixed and static by the time they end up on a phone (in large part because phone hardware is just not technically suitable for training, whether pre training or post training).

on Google buys Spirit Airlines data for AI training for just $10 million — purchase includes hundreds of millions of emails, Microsoft Teams chats, billions of flight pricing records, and anonymized pass in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
But it’s not the company itself putting those assets up for sale. It’s the court-approved or court-appointed bankruptcy trustee of that company, executing transactions approved by the court. That’s why bankruptcy has to go through court, but it also provides a level of immunity (commonly called “exculpation” in bankruptcy cases) to the individuals actually doing the things ordered by the court.
If it’s illegal to do, a court shouldn’t be ordering it, so the affected people should have to fight the court order before it happens. But it’s not illegal to sell anonymized user data like this, and not illegal to sell employee work-related data, either, in the U.S.

on Error by AI scribe during medical appointment leaves patient devastated in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
It needs to be a system and a contractual framework that complies with the medical privacy regulations of the place where it’s being used (in the US, HIPAA). I have some doubts about whether specific companies or people will actually comply, or the enforcement of those laws by certain governmental authorities, but I don’t think it’s conceptually impossible to have this kind of tech be compliant with those types of regulations.

on Ubuntu is growing faster on Windows 11 than on native Linux PCs, says Canonical in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
on average peoples’ computers
Average people don’t have self-administered computers anymore.
People have work laptops administered by their work IT departments, or they have phones and tablets running iOS/Android. Some children have school-administered Chromebooks, and may never own a normal laptop running a traditional desktop OS.
The main people operating self-administered traditional computers are PC gamers (a dying breed during the current price crisis), freelance/independent workers in the fields who still benefit from a mouse and keyboard for productive work and aren’t provided a computer by an employer, and tech nerds.

on Anti-Flock, Anti-Ring, AI Adversarial Clothing (demo'd @BlackHat & DefCon) in c/privacy@lemmy.world · 17 Aug 2026
However, each incident will still have a date, time and location in the database along with the captured video of the person, which will make it relatively easy to figure out who among the local population is the most likely candidate.
It sounds like this adversarial clothing is designed to prevent the systems from identifying an image as a person at all, so it wouldn’t be logged. They’d need to rerun the patched software on the entirety of whatever archived video stream they happened to have retained, which is far less assured than just the logs and retained records from when the system detects a person.
Yeah, yeah, the stubborn handles that just won’t go away, I’ve heard it before.
