It’s a barely hashed together spec for associating webpages. It doesn’t seem to offer any of the “value” that social networks do, the prime of which being an easy-to-initialize profile with copious features. It could be possible with nerds&

Do you have an example? I can’t possibly think of a single idea that’s completely expressionless. Even drug-fueled hallucinations can eventually be given a description; albeit without being able to actually transfer the feeling/interna

I would argue that it’s heavily in the other direction, having developed fairly extensively in both. The QT Linux ecosystem is far more cohesive and consistent and QT apps work more seamlessly between KDE, Windows, and MacOS. In my opinio

To be fair, MBASIC is Microsoft Basic; albeit an older, less feature-filled version. AFAIK, MBASIC should be fully forward-compatible with BASICA and GWBasic if you want to run that software on MS-DOS.

The only browser I’ve ever had issues with enabling video acceleration on Linux is Firefox. All the Blink-based ones just work as long the proper libraries are installed and said libraries properly detect hardware support.

If x86 just officially said “we’re cutting off 32-bit legacy” one day (similar to how Apple did), they could toss out 95% of the crap that makes them power inefficient. Just think of the difference dropping A10 offered for memory efficiency

FFMpeg is definitely fairly ubiquitous, but you are overstating its universality quite a bit. There are alternatives that utilize Windows/macOS's native media frameworks, proprietary software that utilizes bespoke frameworks, and

Where did you guys get this idea? Back then, reddit had a small whitelist of subs they specifically chosen to display on the frontpage. /r/atheism, /r/news, etc. Basically, the default ones you'd be subscribed to wh

A/UX isn’t Mac OS 8. Your reasoning also isn’t sufficient. The classic Microsoft Kernel was able to support a much wider variety of hardware because it was modular (internally, not architecturally). The classic Macintosh Kernel had a f

Did you miss all of the columns before the literal latest version of the Surface Pro? Or the other tables of other hardware models where all versions work? If so then yes, it seems like we’re not seeing the same data.

Then don’t ask or post hypothetical vitriol, if you don’t want a response. This isn’t Reddit.

You specifically stated "since it runs Windows, I will never use it" and I addressed that point. If your qualifier is "runs MacOS/iOS", then your following question is moot for every non-Apple device. Either way

While rarely offshored, a decade and a half of experience in the tech sphere shows that Android is almost universally treated as a second class citizen. Some companies won't bother supporting it at all, the majority will have an Androi

If all you did was look at it, sure. OS 8 was a mess internally with an archaic and badly designed kernel. Windows 98 was much better at multitasking, system recovery, process isolation, etc. And that's saying a lot for the BSOD-ridd

Linux works fine on ARM devices. The problem is lack of good (non-Apple) ARM devices, not Linux.

Did you completely ignore the last paragraph? As I said, AMD survived by going into a lean pivot out of desperation. Intel has that opportunity as well, but the deck is stacked against them due to their size and over-reliance on specific IP

Exactly, the two independent bills that both failed to pass. Congrats, glad we agreed on that.

No they don’t. I mean, that is why they have that license (though PA Semi, the company they absorbed that develops their cores, also brought one along with them); but it’s not a special or unique license. Nvidia, Qualcomm, AMD, etc all ha

ARM also produces core reference implementations. Most ARM licensees’ licenses only allow them to use those in a slightly modified form. What you’re talking about is an ARM IP license, which allow the company to build their own implementati

I don't even need to dig through the paint loop. I've written QT software, and you can do it yourself. Add a QButton with no styling, you will have a standard button widget in macOS and Windows (or a KDE styled one in Linux). Now

WinUI3 offers that, it's just not the recommended way of building+deploying. What you are looking for is "unpackaged, framework-dependent". This will build an application like an old-school WinAPI executable, one which expect

QT uses native controls/widgets, it just polyfills when there is no good native option or if you use custom styling.

There are three UI frameworks in Windows, and only two actively used/developed. All the other "countless" frameworks are iterations of one of two lines: Win32/Native (WinAPI, MFC, WinRT, WinUI3, etc) and WPF/Managed

Every bill has to go through both chambers, but they usually originate in one and then are passed to the other once the originating chamber affirms them. It is not common to push two independent bills simultaneously, despite your assertion
