They did Turbo Pascal dirty with those icons... I get that Borland C++ also was blue/yellow for the DOS versions (looks like they stopped the DOS version of it in 1993 with version 4). And I assume these were from the early days of Wi

I do my best to filter ai topics here using ublock, and it's blocked about a third of the posts, and yet every day there's a new variation, whether a new technique/technology, a new product (open source or commercial), etc...

You're compensating the youtube video creators for this, how? Are you asking their permission? Or is this similar to how all the AI scammers operate and just extracting value from other peoples work without compensation? Just curious

Yep - never buying from them again. They've always been hostile to emulation but the past couple years have been even more ridiculous than normal from them. I don't need another Mario game while forking over yet more money that

I got bit by linux audio issues after moving from Win10 to CachyOS (arch based distro). It seemed to be working fine, but I noticed when switching to speakers a terrible digital distortion that wasn't there previously. (I'm not a

Haha i had a 486/dx2-66 laptop and my first try using linux was in 1997 with Debian Bo, IIRC. Downloading over 28.8 modem (maybe it was 56k at that point?) took a LOOOOOONG time, and then trying to get XFree86 to work was no luck with

Upvoted for your rational stance and thanks for pointing that out. I could have expressed myself in a better way anyways.

Yeah I realized that as I went to the site. Egg on face, I'm a big disgrace... (etc etc). Also boo to me for going against the "site vibes" here. I will admit I could have been a bit more chill about the issue.

I hate name collisions and this sort of thing only reinforces my ire. It doesn't help that I'm already team anti-AI, but it would annoy me regardless of the tech. Why don't people even bother to look and be original? (I fe

TUIs are often more responsive in general. Some of us like the terminal and want to minimize as much mouse usage as possible (yes hotkeys exist in good GUI apps, but they're still primarily built around the WIMP model). Command line of

This sounds like it should be an AITA post on reddit based on the comments in this thread.

Not particularly relevant to the core article, but just a dumb thought re: the LSP/LS annoyance mentioned in the intro. I think maybe some of it stems from 'ls' the command. If I saw something called py-ls instead of py-lsp,

Because they're non-libertarian capitalists who like a police state and found a good market in the US/Donald Trump and other other authoritarian regimes?

Yeah that was my first thing. Wait a minute you run a compiler on it? It's literally compiled code, not direct. Which is fine, but yeah, overselling what it is/does. Still cool, but I would definitely ease back the first claim.

I've seen such bad editing lately. Basic grammar rules being missed/capitalization issues, personal opinions and hearsay cited as "fact", lack of references. Seemingly unrelated topics except in whoever made an edits e

I miss last.fm and audioscrobbler so much. Yeah it's still there, but it's not like the old days, which was far better for feeling like I was in touch with other users, finding tons of new music, and not hearing yet another Home

Came here for Gelerntner's work, it's what I first thought of when I saw Mac's Time Machine or MS's Task View it made me think of that. Also - RIP Teddy K. (I'm a bastard that way)

I'm sure those affected will get a 3.00 check and the lawyers bringing suit will make a chunk of change. (curious if this will lead to a suit or what the laws are around that (e.g. can this be class action or will only known affected

Be grateful I'm deleting my followup message and I'm getting older and wiser and learning to shut up. You can waste your eyeball resources on something other than my comments which will convince no-one. Have a nice life.

Taking the Supreme Court argument that Property = Speech I see. More money = More volume. There is no equality of "free" speech. Or rather, the speech if free, but the rich get to amplify their voice over the poor. You can sa
