I wish that software is constantly updated and tuned for the past, not the future. I find quite ridiculous that we only keep pouring ram, disk, processor and yet tools lag behind. How is that possible?

I can only think of a scenario where this is still valid: spying. The minimum one can do is have a different randomized password for every service on a possibly completely offline password manager. Yes, you will depend on a password manager

NextStep interface still looks sleek and timeless. No doubt a decaying Apple went to acquire them. Having seen some NextStep demos online, it was way ahead of its time. Few weeks ago just started to use WindowMaker again on one of my VMs.

Has anyone tried out to chmod 400 the download directories? Perhaps that prevents the whole thing to work... I haven't touched a Chrome browser in a very long time and I just hope that other vendors don't take a similar route.

So, you're reverting because of "bugs", not because you had massive backfire? Do you understand that no one wants this, right?

Under which circumstances can you ever approve something like this? This goes beyond incompetence. Either you do not understand what important information a commit holds or what seems way more plausible to me is that Microsoft simply decide

What a shitshow. People should stop using as many Microsoft products as possible and move on. Seriously, it's the best silent feedback that can ever be delivered in cases like these.

I still code daily without any coding assistance mostly because I believe this is the way to not forget how things are done, even trivial things. My main point against using AI is that I do not want to depend basically on anything when I&#x

And the day you don't have that drug what do you do? If anything you are training people to become dependent on one or more subscription services.

All countries should follow suit. Nations and individuals can't depend or be held hostages of a handful of companies on the other side of the Atlantic that have the will to do whatever they want with their customers data. This is the

From the WinUtil screenshots presented in the article I'm absolutely shocked about all the things that you presumably want to turn off or delete to have a "clean" Windows (to some extent if that's possible at all). It&#x

It's too much concrete for me, but hey, not every day you see an original and unique piece like this!

If you become a power user you realize that nothing matches the power of the command line. And at that point you also realize that are better OSes that allow you to fully explode the true computing power that is terribly limited and constra

What it would be terrific is that people that have access to Sheryl Sandberg in public repeteadly ask her: "Do you still invite your employees to sleep on your private jet's bed?" as reminder about how fucked up her mind and

The book is so good that once picked up you can't stop reading it. I've left Facebook many many many years ago and ever came back. The book just reinforced my aversion to any product that's out there that is designed to waste

Is this actually true? What's next? A BSOD? I would have ever ever in my life bet that Microsoft software could be shipped in a spacecraft carrying human beings. Unbeliveable.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but wouldn't that case be covered by simply putting some vms under a vnet and others on another vnet and make them talk to each other? I can't also understand what you mean by "fresh bare me

Not surprised at all, just another enshitified product by Microsoft. Carry on.

I can only add another aberration that it just started to happen on my browsers without even updating or doing anything at all: I get the master volume raised, I mean not the YouTube volume, but the volume that is reported in my OS. I truly

FreeBSD is an amazing beast. I'm currently using it as my workstation, and because I need to use Linux, bhyve came to the rescue and is easy to use it through the `vm` wrapper tool. It works like a charm and it is built in. Being that

I've experienced this. Actually when I received the book from Amazon I thought it was a counterfeit copy, only to discover that on the very last page it says: "Printed by Amazon Logistica Italia S.r.l". Amazon's business

I just hope that more people are forced into this! I understand that the transition, learning path can be daunting but once someone's head gets the mindset on a Unix OS there is basically no turning back.

I have used the guide when at college and it was an extremely good read at the time. Learnt so much. I should probably buy a printed copy. Being that said, at the moment I'm trying to implement a simple non-blocking TLS server in Pytho

I love how a number crunching program can be deeply humanly "horrorized" and "sorry" for wiping out a drive. Those are still feelings reserved only for real human beings, and not computer programs emitting garbage. This

They are pushing hard the adoption of restrictive platforms where people that have no idea how technology works lose the ability to control their devices, a fucking basic right. And this is done transparently to people that are not tech-sav

No one tech-savvy wants this. We are already sick of Google's Android lockdowns on mobile phones, and now coming after laptops and desktops? What's that going to be like? Will developers have to beg to have control over devices th
