Windows 8.1 is an incredibly stable, fast, efficient, and reliable OS. Too bad its interface sucks and Windows 7 beats it in all of those categories.

Software quality has taken a fucking NOSEDIVE since just a few years ago holy shit.
Why were the comments on the YouTube mobile app in Helvetica until I click "Show More" yesterday? Why was anyone/any AI even bothering to touch the comment display code anyway? Why was there a giant white bar taking up half my screen in the Spotify app the other day ("our devs don't write code" btw)?
Fuck AI. It's a terrible way to learn how to code, and a terrible way to write anything but MAYBE boilerplate.
Of course the original Apple TV runs @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org!!

@lisamelton Mansplaining web browsers of all things to you is crazy. You're like, the single most important person to web browser history.

I often feel like people are living in two different parallel universes when it comes to Linux. Some people will swear to you that stock kernels never work on any hardware and they’ve had to use downstream patches for every machine they’ve ever seen, while others have never done that for anything ever.

Maybe I trust people the exact right amount. Maybe I don't actually have trust issues and everyone is actually as Fundamentally Fucking Evil as I think them to be. Maybe my paranoia isn't an issue and is actually a completely rational reaction to those around me.
I always tell myself to tear down the wall that keeps me from becoming close to people, then Something Happens that destroys all of that.

@guidol70@mastodon.online unfortunately it currently imvolves an apple internal diagnostics program to bypass the EFI, which i’m not sure if i can distribute without getting sued, so i’m not sure if i’m gonna release this. it should be fine because it is for an abandoned device but i’m not sure i want to risk getting a cease and desist or worse
People like me don’t joke about quitting YouTube on April Fools day, they joke about coming back to YouTube on April Fools Day.

Hopefully Apple doesn't DMCA me.
"An eye for an eye" is far from the perfect way of solving anything, but we can't let the top 0.1% and our fascist government build the Eye-Stealing And Selling Back To Us So We Can Become More Rich Than Humanly Imaginable Machine.
The rich will take everything but accountability for their own/family's actions.
In 50 years there will probably be nursing homes full of old people playing Minecraft.
The only sane person in UK politics right now is Count Binface.

TIL acer still sells what seem to me to be fairly decent 1280x1024 monitors brand new.
i love how macos ships with a fully standards compliant wysiwyg html 4.01 editor that has been virtually unchanged since like 2001 and the only reason anyone knows this is because you have to disable it if you want to write actual html in textedit which you should never do but some books and curricula want you to
QEMU on Windows is like, impressively junk.
