He ded.

As a resident in a pretty rural area you might want to avoid moving to rural areas due to increased cancer rates due to pesticide use and poor water conditions. But don’t you worry about our poor corporations that are wrecking shit, our lovely governer passed legislation that prevents people from suing them. though her and the corporations assure us there is nothing to worry about. They pinky sweared and everything.

YES. So many good apps that get abandoned. Donations are all well and good but I suspect they only really pay well for the high profile apps. If a paid app will keep a Dev motivated to keep it updated I am all for it.

Subscription apps can go fuck themselves though. (Charge me for the upgrades instead).

Dude won the pillow lottery and could have coasted through the rest of his life all of us could only dream of. But then he had to open his mouth and take it to 11.

Small tip for you folks that somehow make it big selling shit to the public. Whether you’re right or left, best to keep it to yourself publicly. Certainly don’t go all in on an idiot that sprays Cheeto dust all over his face and does who fucking knows what to his hair.

The amount of work he is putting into this is really impressive. Being from the US it kind of sucks to see his play out in every country but ours. Is 'merica just a lost cause or is there something else we can do here?

Lawyer not even necessary in some areas, can just contact department of labor and they will go after them.

Don’t be evil.

Well your leaving window ME out of that list which came right after 98SE and is widely considered a turd. I also wouldn’t put 2000 in with them as it was an operating system designed for business use while the other 2 were consumer oriented.

95, 98, 98SE might be a pretty decent stretch though. NT4, 2000, and XP could be a good stretch on the business side. If you ignore NT4’s poor driver support.

Jesus that website needs to die, it’s such a rude and petty way to respond to someone. As if asking what some obscure acronym means on a discussion forum is such an outlandish thing.

I am fucking sick of monthly subs… Happily pay for kagi. It’s really great at just getting you the results you need sorted right at the top.

The cable lobby loves to bring up rural areas but when we gave them millions to build out they just took the money, said fuck it and did jack shit. I’m beginning to think that they prefer to under serve those areas and then use that as a bargaining chip to get everything they want.

I’ve been blocked before. I would guess it happens if the IP your using got banned due to some user violation or abuse. But I don’t know.

Depends on the device I imagine. Way back in the olden days I remember pulling my NES along with a handful of games down from the tv stand because I caught a controller walking by. When Xbox introduced the break away cords it was a Godsend in our clumsy house.

Not an audiophile, but had experience with vinyl and CDs while growing up in the 90s and imo vinyl COULD sound better if you spent a lot of money on high end equipment. But with the equipment us normies had, the cds sounded much better. It had a much lower barrier if you didn’t have a large amount of time and money to invest. I’d suspect things are similar now.

Fitbit was doomed the second Google bought it. It will slowly get less supported and eventually canceled. It’s a shame because I liked Fitbit and I’d hate for smartwatches to end up in the duopoly we have with phones.

Read the article, they cover it in the article.

Microsoft was not an open platform at all, they seemed to be taking more inspiration from Apple when it came to customization and openness.

Losing Palm makes me much more sad.
