If you want to play Half-Life today I highly recommend Xash3D FWGS (yes its a super awkward name)

Does this mandate allow me to use a. 3rd party Teams, Google Chat and Slack client?

I suspect the answer is no, but why?

If it's architecture you need to time travel back to the time and the circumstances, requirements and priorities around that time. Good luck.

When it comes to code, run the unit tests.

Developers (even web developers!) were familiar with XML for many years before JSON was invented.

Also "worse is better". Many developer still prefer to use something that is similar to notepad.exe, instead of actual tools that understand the formats on a deeper level.

Only Big Tech is allowed to pirate

Prototype

People have been predicting this for 30 years.

None of the problems in Windows are related to the kernel.

In Fact Windows NT and its display server and compositor, most APIs are fine. In some cases superior to Linux.

Its just that they ship several giant UI turds on top of it, and candy crush copilot apps preinstalled.

I have not upgraded yet because I think it's very ugly.

Im ok with the glass part but the very rounded corners ugly and unprofessional.

Not looking forward to having this junk clogging up my city.

I would like to read the story of why the Windows 95 window title bar and buttons looks so much like the NeXT ones

Since Torvalds hated CVS and Subversion with a passion, "trunk" was out of the question I guess.

I also remember playing it in the late 80s, in an amusement park in my home country of Sweden. Game was already quite old by then, but these things had a long life outside the US.

I specifically remember the gun and the gruesome way the shark dies.

The "C:/Users" folder on Windows used to be "C:/Documents and Settings"

I remember Bill Gates got that to be changed after an e-mail rant he wrote about how bad Windows had become. This was 2002 or so.

No

I use the Pages router. Doing it this way make sense to me in a way that SPAs never did.

Of course PowerPoint is the best input to LLMs. They will come to that eventually.

Stop using Postman and its ilk. Use .http files.

Looks like an Apple Store. Probably not a coincidence.

AI will increase the complexity even more

I look forward to running Windows on FreeBSD

Never bought anything from Synology, never will.

sculptor_backend seems to consume a lot of CPU and memory when just idling. Would you consider switching from Electron to Tauri so it uses the native WebView of the OS?

Never buy anything from Samsung

EU: You must use a device owned and controlled by US companies to prove your standing in the EU.

Good.

Don't get your hopes up, Amiga IP is scattered with unclear ownership.

No Im not implying that. I toggled Apple Intelligence to off the first day.

What other companies have successfully integrated LLM tech in their mainstream products?

To be clear, just having a chatbot website/app does not count.

And what exactly in your iPhone announcement quote was untrue?

You can still experience 1998 Internet by using and old computer or emulator and configure it to use protoweb.org
