   With this 'mobile app' duoply, it feels like we're back in the days of IE6 and ActiveX controls.

   Little trinkets like these give me hope that computing isn't lost to the hands of dullards and bugmen!

   Void was created by a former NetBSD contributor, if I am not mistaken. Xbps, its packager, is a breeze to use. And I've found no major qualms with runit, the init system.

   Don't feel ashamed for thinking big. I'm sure it helped propel you into things you never expected =)

   Hmm, if we could somehow point Ripcord towards a self-hosted Discord compatible instance, I'd be quite interested.

   I often wonder how close the ancients were to all the knowledge we take for granted. So much lost forever in all those burned libraries.

   The sad truth is: even had we the will to resist, we haven't the means.

   It would be nice if governments would heed the maxim 'don't interfere in what you don't understand'. But it's too easy to propose non solutions to non problems, or where there are problems blame the wrong people and

    Have you ever happened upon the youtuber danoct1? He plays with old DOS and Win32 viruses. https://m.youtube.com/user/danooct1 Perhaps one of yours has been featured!

    I had many 'randoms' added on MSN messenger. Usually acquired through everyone inviting his complete contact list to one conversation. We used to discuss all and sundry back then. I was always slightly more nervous messaging the g

    For one, you could tell idiots (whoever you decided they were) exactly how they felt, without fearing retribution IRL. Keeping online identities separate from the real world worked both ways. It protected rational critics, trolls and shitpo

    That's why I said 'something like'. An extension of the idea adapted for wider use. I'm certain such a person uses TCP/IP every day and doesn't need it explained. Yet twenty years ago, some knowledge of IP addr

    Indeed. I wish there was something like a token or key that was as ubiquitous as passwords. Though from a developer POV I can certainly see why passwords are so attractive: take a word, hash it, compare hash on subsequent logins. The altern

    Snowden reported that the CIA use it to anonomynise their research activity. Previously they used proxy servers but spooks would sign into social media or personal email, thus compromising the location as being CIA. Thus, The Onion Router w

    I've had to do the same. Best wishes for that. It's said that inspiration comes from boredom, so there's always the chance you'll land on something better.

    Thanks for reading to the end! I think successful remote working is feasible if one has an established home life. That would connect the 'lost small pleasures' to the overall topic. The effects are lessened if one lives in a conne

    Hey, a concert instead of bombs might promote goodwill and healing in a war town land. Though I'm not sure how well an Islamist group would take to 'Love Shack', it might actually further sour relations.

    Silly police. This noise actually signifies jubilation and support for the General Secretary of the CCP; it's just a cultural difference between HK and the mainland.

    ReactOS isn't a Linux distro, but a brave attempt to reimplement the full Windows ABI. When complete it will support both binaries and drivers designed for Windows.
