Plainer HTML and very little Javascript which will reduce development and running costs. As witness, this very website. It supplies all that is necessary and no more. It is very successful. With harmful incentives removed, this would encour

I'm not stealing anything by instructing my computer not to run code against my consent. No one is entitled to my CPU time. Least of all are advertisers. Also, the store isn't freakishly stalking me and noting down all my habits w

Preach. I don't consent to tracking. I don't want my browser helping anyone track me in any way. I don't want to be pressured and manipulated into buying things I don't need. Advertising is not moral and I owe nothing to

I hold out a hopeless wish that the source code for Windows 95 and Windows 98 will someday make it to GitHub under a MIT licence, like the File Manager, DOS 1.0 and the Windows Console did. Imagine it with a new jolt of life for modern hard

I think it is a stretch to argue that every missionary is motivated by 'Imperialism'. Certainly some may have been in the past, but if one sincerely accepts the tenants of a religion then it isn't surprising one has enthusias

> In perl, you would know based on syntax whether you're dealing with a reference as opposed to a copy of an instance. Once you 'get' the sigils in Perl, you miss them everywhere else.

Hmm, this just makes RockyLinux and the other CentOS forks look better.

Exactly, if anything it lends validity to the idea. See how Leibniz and Newton thrashed it out over calculus.

Does anyone use Fossil? I'm considering it for my personal projects. I like all it offers for the relatively low resource usage. The only use of it I've seen in the wild is Ripcord ( https://dev.cancel.fm/issues ),

The $1000 'I'm rich' application eventually evolved into the $1000 iPhone itself. And the $1000 Apple monitor stand. It's a tautology!

Every Linux distro has been managing very well without those since forever, curiously enough. But we all know why they want that data. It's not a technical necessity.

This might explain the growth in distros that expect the user to install and configure his own packages with minimal changes from upstream. Such include Void and Arch. As an anecdote, it took me a while to tweak my Void installation to be j

If I'm not mistaken, the Win32 API is actually a subsystem to the NT kernel. You can call the kernel itself a layer below with functions beginning with 'nt*'. Hardware is actually mapped as an object namespace, which is prese

If someone wanted to attempt this absolute bastardisation of God's will, you could try porting the GNU userland to run atop the ReactOS kernel. We'd finally have the GPL-licenced microkernel OS of Stallman's dreams.
