It's sad that you can't replace the infotainment unit in a new car with an aftermarket unit anymore. I imagine 10 years from now we'll have a fleet of cars with outdated infotainment systems that can't connect with whatever future version of bluetooth/carplay/android auto anymore. Imagine driving cars with giant but useless infotainment screens that can't do anything but playing mp3 off a USB stick because its outdated system can't connect to your new phone.

Ah, must've been a fortran developer. I swear they have this ability to make the shortest yet the least memorable variable names. E.g. was the variable called APFLWS or APFLWD? Impossible to remember without going back and forth to recheck the definition. Autocomplete won't help you because both variables exist.

If you're one of a tribe living in the jungle of West Papua, then yeah, it's basically survival of the fittest there with no electricity or modern amenities. If you're living in a city then it's no different than the rest of the region, but with small risks of armed conflict with the separatist group.

He did get burnt to crisp, so it's not a stretch if he got a fire phobia now.

Speedrunners must be able to speedrunning irl.

The amount of junk polluting the internet is growing exponentially. I won't be surprised if future historians have trouble separating the truth from fiction, shit posts and LLM craps.

Just for some perspective, if you want to know how little reach the fedi post with the link to this blog post got: the first post in this thread already has more likes and boosts after less than a hour since posting it than my blog post ever did that he felt the need to confront me over.

The author probably wasn't aware that their blog post has a huge engagement in hacker news just the day before and the CEO got roasted there, so the CEO probably felt the need to contact the author to "correct" their post.

I'm more of a "if it swims like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it's a duck" kind of guy.

There was another OS that was POSIX compliant too...

Windows was this close to be Unix. Windows was POSIX.1-compliant, and Windows Service for UNIX was also a thing.

Steam is available in 237 countries, while PSN is only available in 69 countries. Some people are going to be locked out from the game they bought. E.g African players are going to be fucked.

Hmm, what do you mean when a tank game has a tankies reputation?

Coincidence or not, it must've caused a chilling effect to other whistleblowers.

How the heck did those tools developers figure out how to remove those various ads in windows? Did they do it the hard way, fired up a debugger to reverse engineer how those ads were displayed? That takes some dedication. We in the Linux land have it easy because the source code is available to mess with.

I mean, a huge number of redditors moved here because of reddit enshittification.

When I was a teenager, I made a page in Word, saved it as html, then uploaded it to geocities. Good times.

Why would they do that when they can use this as yet another push to move people to windows 11.

It would be nice if the prisoners could take class or earn a degree while in prison, at least when they get out they have a new skill or a degree so they have a better chance to get a job to pay off their prison debt.
