My Mum wont upgrade from windows 95, please keep supporting Internet Explorer 6 SP1, Stop it with any of your fancy tools/websites.

The flipside is that one just accept that the users who are not able to upgrade are not your target audience and will use other systems to get their work done.

Don't carry others burdens when they self impose their problems.

Do you get to make the call for someone else ?

My favourite SO moment was when my comment had been edited to mean exactly the inverse of what I had stated. Whoever moderated it had assumed that I must have made a mistake and did not understand the problem space from the same depth I did.

There is no reason you can't do this now, Inter process communication is a thing.

I found it would fail allocations in kernel on 32 bit too.. making me a bit uncomfortable.

I had forgotten about this, thanks for the reminder :)

They definitely are selling generic devices.

This was not a viable option pre 6th gen.

It definitely came packaged this way in Australia. I can confirm OP's story.

> - CentOS Stream is testing/RC area for RHEL patches.

No more than 'current' rhel is testing for centos patches.

Nobody writes i386 code anymore though, Apple mostly support x86-64 from 10 years ago.

Nah mate, Stay positive.

You're not the 'swine' here, you shouldn't feel that way. I've learned that sometimes paradigms require the programmer to be in the correct 'frame of mind' before it even begins to make sense, its not you.

In my limited experience, keeping an open mind to tools will get you much further and have more enjoyment in your career and life. Trying to force that square peg into the round hole will just make you hate new things. If the time comes and your mindset is right, the tech will still be there.

Just so we're clear, you don't want updates ?

No doubt it is a great shame. Everyone is so very sensitive that there is no room for anything but groupthink.

Why havn't they been good guardians ?

I imagine because they are catering to the lowest common denominator, the human behind the wheel.

Are modern teachers really that robotic that they dont understand that 'things happen' outside of their limited domain of expectations ?

>In many ways, the wealth of the average person living today >is much greater than kings and emperors living centuries >ago.

I dunno man, I'm average and can't afford N wives, have someone do my dishes, clothes, own and tend thousands of hectares of land for me, father 12 children.

Maybe i'm reading about different kings than you do.

Power lifting training easily smashes just over 1k cals a day for me.

If I don't lift, I'll get fat. It definitely has significant effects on metabolism, body fat % and building muscle.

I imagine that most peoples 'exercise' doesn't come close to 1k calories burned though.

Your physical labour people probably consume more calories than they use.

> You can get a dev cert and install whatever you like, but these devices are not general computing devices.

You mean $buy$ a dev cert, yearly.

> They're a different kind of device for those that don't want to admin their phone and instead want Apple to take care of it.

And if you want both, FUCK yourself right ?

Vote with your wallet.

Only buy, fix and support those who have your ideals.

I'm glad they continue to try. It is hard to get things accepted upstream.

Has to do virt to pose any real challenge.

I've done the same for 40 years. The data is just not as exciting.

This is what will be happening.

My mum wont install an app unless she has to. In my eyes this has failed the grandmother test.

I guess this all depends on what we call 'social' in this sense. If we take such a broad definition that interaction is the basis of defining a 'social animal' there is nothing on the planet that isnt a social thing. Which is why I simplified the definition down to "requiring socialization to thrive" which clearly is not the case for us as a species.

No x is an island.

Looks likes emacs didnt run perfectly on the emulation/translation layer known as rosetta.. Maybe its not so perfect after all.

> Humans were never intended to spend so much time alone, we’re social animals.

I am not a social animal, I think you'll find the 'non social humans' to be a larger group than you imagine. Just because we have 'do' doesn't mean we all are.

I think that the two are at best tangentially related.
