Also Ctrl-V looks like 2 pieces of paper being pasted together.

Most modern keyboard shortcuts are mnemonic such as Ctrl-S for Save, which makes them easier to remember than function keys.

An interesting thing about WordPerfect was that most of the keyboard shortcuts were built around the row of function keys at the top of the keyboard, so they were difficult to remember, compared to modern keyboard shortcuts. For this reaso

Some would call that a strength if the goal is institutional reform from a very different viewpoint.

No serious alternative? Apple could easily make a safe image handling library in Swift.

It’s also included with FreePascal if you prefer the Pascal flavor of Turbo Vision. It even comes with a fully featured clone of the Turbo Pascal IDE.

This is something everyone should do anyway. In fact I would recommend keeping at least a week or two of food, water, and other critical supplies. Defensive weapons are also a good idea. They don’t need to be anything fancy. A baseball b

I think a lot of it comes down to attack surface. JavaScript famously has a very limited standard library, so it is very common to pull in massive dependency chains of modules containing trivial functionality. Contrast this to Java, C#, an

Apple doesn’t have a monopoly. You can vote with your wallet by buying an Android phone from one of several manufacturers of your choosing that has the feature to install whatever you want. Again why should Apple and their users that are

I use old.reddit.com for the handful of subreddits that I still follow that haven’t become excessively political. It’s a much better UX than new Reddit.

Why haven’t you switched to Android which provides the feature you want? It’s a problem you can easily resolve, without making any one else change.

Windows and Linux are desktop OSes and should be compared to macOS, which does allow you to run your own software without paying the fee. I will concede that Android does allow you to install apps for free and if that is a feature that is r

A lot of people take issue with the Apple Developer account fee, but it’s really not that bad. To put it in perspective, at $99/year it comes out to just over $0.27/day. That’s a pretty cheap hobby. I certainly spend way more t

D.C. has plenty of gridlock even without the motorcades. It is one of the worst cities I’ve ever had the misfortune of driving in. Not enough street parking, expensive parking garages, flex lanes that change direction depending on the tim

OpenBSD is great as well if you haven't tried it.

Thank you! This looks like a great resource on the topic. I wish I still had the source code for the “OS” I made as a teenager. I got as far as writing an MBR boot loader, switching to protected mode, displaying characters on the screen,

What I really appreciate about Bluey is that it’s one of the few children’s shows with a really great and relatable Dad character. The Dad in most children’s shows is either barely present or a total idiot that nobody respects.

Texas does something similar with EV registration fees. The first time fee is $400 and then it’s $200 a year after that.

Emulation either via FPGA or software is really the only solution to preserving retro gaming and computing in the long term. Electronic hardware is very difficult to keep alive for decades.

I don’t. Every major company with a killer app will make you use their App Store. Want Facebook, WhatsApp or Instagram? You need to install the Meta App Store first. Same thing for Google apps. Then for Microsoft apps you would need th

I think Swift gets very close to this ideal, but there is still an Apple-only stigma associated with it despite it having support for Linux, Windows, and embedded systems.

Just avoid Stellantis (Dodge’s parent company) in general. We have a 2019 Dodge Caravan that is literally falling apart. Everything is made with cheap plastic. We’re replacing it as soon as we can afford to.

I use mine all the time for taking notes, keeping up with my calendar, and just for staying organized in general. The Apple Pencil is so smooth and natural.
