   This smells a lot of "I'm miserable so everyone else must be as unhappy as I am" What if we make a better world for everyone, instead of a planetary crab bucket?

   Microsoft was a massive corporation To imply that every single person there was evil to their core simply by association is utterly ridiculous. I doubt the guy who created Minesweeper was dreaming of world domination while working there

   What else is out there that fits openWRT's use case? BIND seems like it would be a bit "heavy"

   I must admit I immediately questioned the credibility of the article when the author admitted they "aren't a gamer" and then started making allusions to vague political threads. Not to say these criticisms aren't valid,

    Hi, I'm a Youtuber. I talk about computer history. Is my knowledge not valid just because I'm "on youtube" ?

    It's half-implemented in OpenRA's engine and then spread across a bunch of mods that attempt to augment as much of the game in as possible

    Would be nice if they finished Tiberian Sun/Red Alert 2 support. I only complain because I put in over $1,000 USD as part of a crowd funding campaign to do just that ...13 years ago :(

    EA showed they had Red Alert 2 tapes in the archive when they did the C&C Remaster stuff back in 2018-2020 The Mental Omega folks are also known to have a complete archive of everything which is why their "mod" is such a tec

    History is important and interesting to some of us. Just because it's not a direct 1:1 mapping of computer problems today doesn't make it any less intellectually stimulating to read about

    Huh. I thought it was 1.67 for some reason. My mistake! I actually bought one a year or so ago from your eBay store though, looking at my records! Have recommended to retro friends in the Seattle area, too

    You can get a 1.67Ghz G4 Mac Mini on eBay with OS 9 preinstalled. It's wicked fast (especially with an IDE SSD adapter) There's faster single thread accelerator cards that were made for a while by a guy on the 68kMLA forums, but

    As a retro enthusiast, these projects are all absolutely delightful! I need to get a GPU for my MDD G4 and then I'd love to try them out on real metal

    To parody the Arthur quote [1] Do you really think somebody would do that? Just go write apps for the love of programming and not to make money? [1] https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRGIV3u...

    I mean, Elmo's SpaceX is busy lying about being "In Redmond" too (they're in Redmond Ridge, a significantly more rural area about 6 miles away)

    As someone who also lives in Seattle, I'd be curious to see any verifiable citations to such a wild claim

    This seems rather painfully irrelevant to the topic at hand and a pretty shameless plug

    Wonderful timing. I just set up an old Mac Pro with Snow Leopard and Vista [1] for retro software compatibility testing. I might download and give this a shot [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiZR3UFaWuU

    A single extra provider does not mean a monopoly is "broken". Especially if they aren't even competing in the same niches

    A teammate that can't write (or at least, can't explain) "their own code" Actively drags down the morale and productivity of their team (because everyone is getting flooded with AI slop PR's) AND costs far too much

    Why aren't the customers going to Epic Game Store? It's the PC, after all. It's explicitly not a walled garden
