Twitter seemed to have no issue growing so that doesn't seem right.

Yeah, I'd concur - the DOS-like parts of early AOS are really not pleasant to use and feature lacking, but if it's that or nothing, I'll take that.

The answers it gives are often trash though, even more so the whatever lobotimized model they slap on top of google search.

EA lost FIFA a few years ago. The games are now "FC". They still sell though.

If they sold games and were well monetized (not to be confused with heavily monetized), they wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.

Because the Saudis leveraged this buyout via a massive loan from JP Morgan, EA's debt is now 10 times higher than it was when it was a publicly traded company: $2.2b to $22b. Turns out the notion that they wouldn’t need humans to make

A nice, somewhat nostalgic read. I had X-Copy and D-Copy both, although I'm more familiar with the later X-Copy editions that were quite purple [0] [1]. It was also my first contact with the concept of disk defrag. [0] https:/&#x

Also one of the most controversial translations, if memory serves.

This is actually wrong because most of the A1000s were bundled with an RGB monitor and an optional composite out. The system wouldn't be really connected to a shitty TV until the budget models were released well after OS 1.X color sche

I'm not seeing it. Sure, the window bgs are gray, but so was 90% the OSes at the time. Everything else is different and even the only things those two have in common, the pseudo-3D on buttons, is applied in different ways, creating dif

That's a whole separate argument you've invented here. And if the capability exists today, why did you talk about some nebulous future?

10 years ahead, but for Irving motherf- Gould wasting it all out of pure greed, even after Rattigan managed to turn things around. AmigaOS 2.X is still a fantastic UI and design language though, especially compared to the ugly mess of 1.X

If you're trying to say that Microsoft implemented a method of delivering specifically malware executables to every PC, I've got a bridge to sell to you. Let's not diminish LG's part in all this.

It's a complex/murky matter with lots of allegations in every direction that's hard to summarize properly. The absolute barest bone / neutral summary is that Filian is very popular (3.2 mil subs on yt, 1.3 mil subs on tw

It's not 2018 anymore, so that's not quite true. By now free models have been there forever, and indies have been using them for as long. I mean, Filian has already been using one over 4 years ago. Which caused some problems with

The monitor should absolutely take the major part of the blame by being the source of the malware and poisoning the system for everyone else.

The wallpaper is definitely busy, I couldn't say how many people even used wallpapers in that era over flat color.

I mean, "back in the day", I used to set my own custom WB disk to boot in 8 colors on an ECS system, which caused extra lag on many things (visible redraws ahoy), and it was more or less acceptable. Paradoxically, if I actually h

Apples and oranges. MSN was aimed at, well AIM, to the point where AIM used protocol flaws to block MSN clients. And it doesn't track that they'd just abandon IRC considering it was a period of absolutely massive growth for the pr

To me the pinnacle of icons was always the MagicWB [0] / MUI [1] style, even though I never really had MagicWB on my systems. Maybe strange choice of colors (pale blue, pink, orange?), but nice dithering and color interplay to create n
