seems reductive

In an industrial society, too many rule followers results in people being reduced to cattle. We need a subset of our society to be ungovernable in order to stave off tyranny, because historically, smart people aren't trying or succeeding at that. As another commenter in this thread stated, though under different context, our bodies wouldn't make the venom if we didn't need it to survive.

and by "manners" they mean "people acting how I think they should act"

Maybe he did not deliberately log into one drive, but was tricked with dark patterns and suggestive interface design. Which makes it even worse.

Or maybe he in fact is not logged into onedrive, and 365 simply sucks.

cults always utilize this kind of fanservice for initiation

Sorry, none of what you just said makes any practical sense.

Why was this written with explicit Windows 95 support? Just 'cuz?

best not, lads

new locked down spyware TVs are so cheap, who would want to buy and move -your- locked down spyware TV?

"Enshittification isn't real", says notorious private equity venture capitalist firm a16z.

Sounds like an Onion headline.

Play Store and F-Droid are both official software repositories. I'm not confident the same can be said for Aptiode.

correctness of minor logic details is of general interest to no one, but of substantial benefit to everyone

In a world where Haiku is widely adopted, I figure its accessibility model would be much like that of Windows XP, in that it works by not restricting you from doing things, rather than specifically allowing certain things. XP and Haiku let the user do pretty much whatever, and for this reason, many disabled people still rely on systems like XP.

How about a hand shake?

Military industrialist Palmer Luckey orchestrated contemporary VR with his Oculus Rift so that consumers would subsidize the costs of his miltech projects. I believe this is the same thing. Push your miltech with the "gadgets and toys and digital assistants" angle so that regular people foot the bill.

Yeah, that's why I took the screenshot, so I don't have to remember it. Silly

Microsoft, who would also have an incentive to extinguish the largest hub for open source development, having already embraced and extended it.

15 years from now, they'll say it was obvious.

I would prefer unstyled HTML tables to this slop

I would prefer a crayon drawing

I would prefer just seeing the prompt

this is a novelty that great talented theremin players would find entertaining for 30 seconds before going back to their expensive Moog

So... What's the modern equivalent of gallery.apk ? Looking for just a simple image viewer that shows the "collections" view by default and preferably is GPL and does not attempt any sort of internet connection.

Once we start playing the "You-know-what-I-mean" game, you can be sure the other party is committed to not taking you seriously.

This blog post is a semantic argument, not a logical one.

Yes. And they should be tattooed onto the person's arm, so there can be no mistake. Maybe a bar code?

We're no longer an economy that produces things to be consumed, but rather one that produces things that increase consumption.

Could be the makings of a dark age.

absolutely insane take

take me back

I think it's that Myst was released in a hungry, undersaturated market, and the competition is a lot tougher now. I truly love what Cyanworlds is doing, but the fact of the matter is, I'd rather be playing TF2 Classic, or Animal Well, or Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, than Obduction.

Another problem is, their games were popular at a time when most people didn't even have an internet connection, and therefore had far more patience for offline gaming. Their games require a LOT of patience.

No. Red book audio spec is 44100hz.

And I'd wager this guy cannot tell the difference between 44.1kHz and native 192kHz in a controlled double blind study.

Aww :( Tragic

Treason! Hold them accountable!
