Could those crypto functions built into the browser be replaced with JavaScript implementations?

Searching for Briar shows Signal. I can't find Briar on the iOS app store at all.

Are you sure this also applies to function pointers?

Other than the CPU, the Commodore 64 was better in every way. Graphics, lowercase, SID for sound, real interrupts for data, keyboard... so many other reasons.

The Commodore 64 was better than the TRS-80 Color Computer. Much better.

Variable names that are so terse it hinders reading and comprehension.

But I have to agree: Eventually, management will start to more aggressively monetize it (i.e., "pull the rug from under their free users").

Truly free (e.g., IRC) alternatives seem like the only long-term solution, otherwise people will keep stumbling from one commercial platform to another, because they never last.

A lot of very good IRC clients are available for free.

IRCCloud is a good starting point for a lot of people: excellent UI/UX, a free tier, and a very inexpensive paid tier (around 4 USD/month).

Create as many channels as you like.

The biggest problem with IRC has always been its lack of server-side history.

I'm doubtful many people would be able to read it or contribute to it very effectively.

Also prefer block cursor to underline cursor for the same reason.

I'd think Apple would want to win the case to discourage other developers from doing the same thing.

Very frequently, I use my wired headphones and charge the device at the same time.

I'm glad I can do that without some dodgy external dongle.

What you describe has never happened to me. Have I just been lucky?

Once you're in the habit of doing that, you'll start doing it in dreams, too. And in dreams, you're very likely to realize things aren't real, and that you are, indeed, dreaming.

That's the technique that works best for me.

"Enterprise" isn't right in the name. "ent" is.

Until a few weeks ago, I didn't know what the "Cent" part of "CentOS" meant, mostly because I didn't care. I somewhat assumed it meant the same as "penny".

Rocky Linux actually sounds good to me. Like a solid, rocky foundation on which to build your house.

You can expand the definition of "(enterprise) Productivity Apps" ad infinitum.

My watch (Timex) does not require special tools in order to replace the battery, and it's waterproof, small, and lightweight.

I unscrew four small screws on the back using the same screwdriver I've used for years to tighten the screws on my eyeglasses. Pop in the replacement coin cell battery, and screw it back together.

It takes about two minutes and costs about $5.

It may also have contributed to a lot of software developers moving to Linux, which has always had great C compilers.
