From my understanding of it, "arts" doesn't even refer to artistic works, but more the work of artisans, those skilled in a manufacturing craft. By the same token, "sciences" doesn't just refer to the instituti

Exactly why the entire institution of policing needs top down reform. Fat chance of that happening in the modern era, however. ACAB because policing is broken. Fix the system, and cops will no longer be bastards. You can't fix a suffic

That's disputable by a strict reading of the original copyright law, before it was perverted by those who would vacuum up "IP" solely for the control and for potential profit. Copyright is ultimately intended "to promo

Piracy isn't stealing. Legally or morally. You know what is stealing? The heavily lengthened copyright term. Every day that has been and will be added to that, is a day that was stolen from the public ownership of the work, as pres

There has never been a "true" text mode in any Mac hardware (except for situations where there is vestigial support in the hardware from the days of Intel on Mac, and I doubt that support was ever available for application use). E

Windows 3.1 didn't have any "X" buttons. It had the system menu (the one shaped like a spacebar, since the hotkey was Alt-Space). If you quit Program Manager, it would end the Windows session (since Program Manager was your s

The only thing I dislike is the blending across the scanlines (i.e., in the vertical dimension). This is highly inaccurate to how contemporary displays handled the image. Scanlines were completely discrete in the signal, and the only vertic

The font has slightly changed over the years. Notably, the "E" glyph originally had a longer lower arm, and the "!" and "?" glyphs are often different between variants of the font. Super Mario Bros also notably

I still remember submitting that suggestion years ago. I basically just went looking up various pocket computers and found the Pasopia Mini had an identical layout. Good to see the more complete story of the HHC-4.

You keep using the words "perpetrator" and "victim" as if it's a given that a person filing a DMCA is always doing so truthfully against an actually-violating project. I don't have as much faith in the system a

Microsoft is hyper afraid of "PII". When they ported a bunch of blogs (including Raymond Chen's) to a new platform, they did not bring the comments along because GDPR would have required them to associate accounts on the old
