I’ve been using Firefox since the beginning, before that Mozilla, and before that Netscape Navigator.

But I think it’s finally time to switch to Librewolf.

I don’t want digital advertising of any kind, even if my privacy is “preserved” through fancy data-laundering.

You could try VanillaOS 2.0 Beta which is a Debian-based immutable distro, planned for final release later this year.

That’s kind of true, but MacOS and Mac OSX are 2 different things

Then Windows 3.0 and Windows 11 are two different things, so by that metric you can’t include Windows either.

all the way from 1991 to 2024, I think the only other OS that has managed that is Windows

It’s easy to forget about MacOS when it only has 15% desktop market share.

Operating systems that started before 1991 that are still in active development (had a release in the last 12 months):

• Multics (1969-)
• MVS (1974-) via OS/390 (1995-) -> z/OS (2001-)
• VMS (1977) via OpenVMS (1992-)
• BSD (1978-) via 386BSD -> FreeBSD, NetBSD -> OpenBSD
• HP-UX (1982-)
• SunOS (1982-1994) via Solaris (1992-)
• MacOS (1984-)
• AIX (1986-)
• RISC OS (1987-)

Almost made it:

• Minix (1987-2017)
• Genera (1982-2021)
• AmigaOS (1985-2021)
• NeXTSTEP (1987-1997) via GNUStep (1993-2021)
• IBM i (1988-2022)
• SpartaDOS (1988-2022)

I think the post is supposed to link here: https://timemachiner.io/2022/06/18/windows-95-launch-video-reminds-us-how-90s-the-90s-were/

For some reason when I view the post it just links to a jpeg

This is the Windows 95 launch video in my mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kemivUKb4f4

He was in the airport, remember. Not in a local market.

I lost my earbuds in a remote town in Chile, so tried buying a new pair at the airport before flying out.

…

True Apple lightning devices are more expensive to make.

…

I wish @Apple would devote an employee or two to cracking down on such a technological, psychological abomination as this.

He wants to take away a budget option from developing countries where people can’t afford the expensive version of the proprietary technology, and he wants Apple to be the one to do it?

Fuck this guy.

I didn’t even mention Github, I just quoted from the video description.

a really odd way of using Git

Git was literally designed for kernel development.

I still play all of the Saturn releases. Megamix has just tons of replay value. I never got into the later games as much as I loved VF2, but I still enjoy watching good players when I catch them streaming.

If you’re interested in seeing where the community is at for the latest VF (VF5:US), most of the discussion happens at https://virtuafighter.com/forums/ and there’s a regular kumite streamed by https://www.twitch.tv/akai_vf

The Saturn cartridge slot can be very temperamental. The things I would try, in this order:

• Push the cartridge in all the way and then back it out just 1mm and see if that makes better contact
• Put a thin card behind the cartridge so it is pushed forward just slightly and see if that makes better contact
• Disassemble the console and use some contact cleaner on the slot. Be careful not to bend the pins.
• Loosen the screws that hold in the connector just slightly

When you find the right position to get a cart working, it’s best to leave it inserted. This is why many people use the multi-functions carts, so that they don’t have to constantly swap carts and go through the process of trying to get a good contact every time.

Is Hyprland violating someone’s copyright?

These are not Drew’s words, he is quoting something said by the project dev. The context that the previous commenter ommitted is:

Following my email conversation with Vaxry, he appeared on a podcast to discuss toxicity in the Hyprland community. This quote from the interview clearly illustrates the attitude of the leadership:

[A trans person] joined the Discord server and made a big deal out of their pronouns […] because they put their pronouns in their nickname and made a big deal out of them because people were referring to them as “he” [misgendering them], which, on the Internet, let’s be real, is the default. And so, one of the moderators changed the pronouns in their nickname to “who/cares”. […] Let’s be real, this isn’t like, calling someone the N-word or something.

KSMBD is also important in that placing such core server functionality right inside the kernel represents a significant potential attack surface for crackers. As one comment on Hacker News said “Unless this is formally proven or rewritten in a safer language, you’ll have to pay me in solid gold to use such a CVE factory waiting to happen.”

Words to live by.
