Has mark zuckerberg ever expressed any regret for the fact that his platforms have played a role in instigating conflict and lethal violence in many different parts of the world over the years or is this his only regret?

I was there (and then) living across different European countries in the 90s and IBM compatibles were the de facto computing standard followed by niche products like the Amiga which had a dedicated following, mostly hobbyists. But for all i

In the 90s it would have been newsworthy if someone remembered the Macintosh market, not the other way around.

I absolutely adore the way that HaikuOS looks and feels. It's like a direct evolution of the classic Mac OS UI. So incredibly snappy and responsive and with minimal visual clutter. I keep an old thinkpad around with Haiku just for when

Pretty much. Even as a disillusioned mac user I wouldn't rely on their maps app but no compatibility with my browser of choice means that I'll never bother using their product under any circumstances.

This whole f*up was a failure of management and processes at Crowdstrike. "Intern Steve" pushing faulty code to production on a Friday is only a couple of cm of the tip of an enormous iceberg.

To their credit, the stakeholder that asked for my head personally came to me and apologised once they realised that entire airports have been shut down worldwide. But yeah, not a Friday/funday hahaha

I've picked the perfect day to return from vacation. Being greeted by thousands of users being mad at you and people asking for your head on a plate makes me reconsider my career choice. Here's to 12 hours of task force meetings..

The stipple and X cursor are forever ingrained into my memories. I remember it so vividly how back in 1998 when I installed my first Linux distro (suse 6-ish) and after some configuring i typed "startx" and then BOOM! Grey "u

I finished that process recently for 50+ accounts. It's something that I would definitely wish on my worst enemy.

I will never forget that part of Shenmue 2. It blew my 14 yo mind at the time when I found out that not only Kowloon city was real but it was also 10x more depressing in real life.

I'm definitely not gonna get all misty eyed because my phone won't receive additional surveillence software this September. If, and that's a very big if, I need some sort of AI functionality, I will either use a web browser o

To me that is a sign that Apple is about to violate privacy and monopoly laws in order to make their AI tech work. And to be honest, not only do I have next door to zero interest in having generative AI technology integrated into any opera

A minor correction: Intel were licensed by AMD to use their x64 extensions, they didn't just copy them.

I was so envious of my friend's Macs being able to be used as external storage devices that this may have been what convinced me to buy my first macbook nearly 18 years ago.

What does that even mean? Not regulating a company whose practices offer legitimate cause for concern = Innovation?

I am still hopeful that meta will remain true to their prior threats and leave the EU market in case of additional probes and regulations. Their platforms have done enough damage to our societies already.

"visiting Japan feels like visiting the 2000s CD shops everywhere malls are thriving people use fat laptops" Sounds like a good time. I still buy tons of physical media and I love me a thick laptop with tons of po

That's what I always thought. JA was the only actual robot in the series. Everything else that is human made is a cyborg.

I have some very basic understanding of greek, so I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination. But the way that they pronounce (sing) diphthongs is not quite right and I feel that makes the song sound... rougher somehow.

Don't threaten me with a good time. I would use Asahi Linux full time on my mac if that were to happen.

Dunno if all government software should be open source but government should definitely avoid vendor lock ins.

I assume that they will also release a snarky and petty PR response to this explaining how they're going to allegedly protect chinese users from CPP overreach and overregulation, no?

No kidding. UI design peaked with Windows 98/2000 and Mac OS 9.

Same here. Composer and to a lesser extend FrontPage Express taught me HTML and a bit of CSS back in 1997.

I've heard similar Kafkaesque stories from German relatives of mine. And from what I gather, most digitalization efforts by state and federal government essentially resulted in digitizing existing bureaucratic procedures.

My first Linux experience was Suse 6 that I got from the CD ROM of a PC magazine. KDE 1.x is permanently tattoed onto my brain. I wish there was a simple and straightforward way to make plasma look and act like classic KDE. Is Trinity any g
