HUH. I don't think I've ever seen a site with a warning like this. That's well-considered and quite kind. (From lobste.rs)

I love computing

I love to compute on the computer

I hate the companies that have made computing on the computer miserable as they try to squeeze us all through their product lifecycles

Wow. Facebook is not just announcing that they're walking back moderation of hate speech, but gleefully giving explicit examples of particular forms of hate speech they now allow. 😲 🤬

Inside you there are two wolves. One is active, the other one is on hot standby and becomes active if the first one fails or is taken down for maintenance. Add more wolves as necessary for increased redundancy load balancing. A quorum badger can be added for environments with multiple active wolves.

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning

I created an open source library on GitHub called AquaUI, which I am hoping others will contribute to and build on.

> AquaUI is a love letter to the Macintosh of the Aqua era—with its uncompromising attention to detail, futuristic design, and “lickable” visual style.

> The goal is not necessarily to recreate 2000s-era Aqua visuals pixel by pixel: instead, we aim to imagine how the Aqua design language could have evolved if it had been allowed to do so.

Someone should make a browser like "The Old Safari", where there is a damn titlebar that shows the whole title of the website. I am so tired of these "compact" layouts that are completely unnecessary on today's high density displays.

I think the appealing thing about the universe of Dune is 10,000 years of no IT problems whatsoever.

MacOS is a perfect OS to emulate Windows and Linux: because Cmd+C is copy and Cmd+Tab is switch Windows, there is no danger in using Ctrl+C and Alt-Tab inside the emulator. Conveniently, Cmd+Tab brings me out of the emulator.

Verdict: we need more META buttons on our keyboards.

I was trying to find a folder of files I needed to copy onto a USB drive for a friend. I thought I might have left it in my Downloads folder, so I checked:

I've recently downloaded:
* Visual Studio Code
* Ghidra
* Sublime Text
* Open Watcom IDE
* Arduino IDE

and didn't spot my friend's folder for a moment, because her name is /Eclipse/.

HAAAhahaha

"2025 is the year of desktop Linux" no longer most ridiculous OS-related claim about upcoming year, thanks to Microsoft

We are not "late," we are simply building hype for our eventual arrival.

Fun fact a previous employer used a country's TLD as their internal domain (???) and that basically made me who I am today on the Windows networking stack
