- Comment on A hypothesis 1 week ago:
My trajectory was win 3.11, then macos 7 & 8, then windows 98… Windows 7 > macOS again as a dev > Linux when I finally got to pick my own software and IT wasn’t what paid the bills.
Windows was always broken so you had to learn to fix shit
Mac never did quite what you needed so you had to work around stuff and try harder
… Next/Mac got me very literate with Unix
… Linux is just kinda what I know.
But Unix based macos really is an excellent os. It’s just a shame its so locked to their hardware.

I had a GUI - windows 3.11
But it was so slow. So I made my own gui/menu system that ran in dos. I was between 9-11 I reckon.
Not sure where that lands me on the spectrum of coddledness

Ironically ads exist almost exclusively to raise prices.
Anyone can buy corn, but to purchase premium corn you need to have the value communicated too you. Maybe the corn comes from a riverbank somewhere, maybe it’s been infused with peppercorns.
But to charge more for that corn you need to convince people to spend more on it. The more “reasons” you have to buy it ie. Peppercorns. The more you can charge

To be fair that’s the gayest looking dog Ive ever seen

There really has not been a better time than the late 90s to launch a new better search engine and supplant google

I got real self righteous there for a second, but i see they included the wrong pronunciation as well

- Comment on Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely pushing up cost of electronics 3 months ago:
I watched part of this announcement and he said something I normally don’t pick up on
“If they have started to build or have plans to build they don’t have to pay the tariff.”
Sounds like.jobs.
But what I heard was it was a discount for the oligarchy. Why do you only get a discount if you are in the position to at least pretend to be building a factory?
And then since prices are now double, you get to import and sell at an easy profit.

Hard agree. My takeaway is the moral of the story is always do quality engineering. There have been like 10 movies and they still don’t know how to construct an enclosure.

- Comment on The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice 4 months ago:
In the end I popped up the terminal and used some pot command with some flag I can’t remember to skip the login step on setup.
I reckon there is good chance you aren’t using windows 11 home though right?
- Comment on The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice 4 months ago:
Sorry answered it elsewhere, yep windows 11.
The forced update took forever and failed and then it also fucked out with the Microsoft account. It was legit 2 hours from boot to seeing a desktop. I wanted to skip the updates and the Microsoft account.
The start menu is full of ads for software I don’t want. If I buy software off you, stop trying to upsell me.
