Every lego brick can be a toilet with enough imagination

SunOS 4 was great. I ran it on a 3/260 which I then upgraded to a 4/260 and got to run a slightly newer version. I worked for a chip design company which used a ton of it. It was a very reliable BSD IME and we did a lot of good stuff with it with very little hassle.

The community college I went to, which used to run VMS on HP hardware, followed their software vendor to an HP Quad Itanium running HP-UX.

Yeah, poor sad fuckers, I know.

I did a couple of consulting jobs where I worked on that machine, encountered HP-UX for the first time, and learned to hate it.

No comment on the Itanics, we all know how that turned out and they weren't that relevant to me.

Alpha was out of gas, it was going to take a rework and it was clear HP lacked the will. PA-RISC, even moreso. HP made Itanic the successor to PA in their product lines, which brought in a lot of customers who would never otherwise have adopted it. The HP-SUX work I did was on a quad Itanium. No clue which processors it had on it, I was not even slightly interested as amd64 was already completely destroying it.

I keep thinking someone will lick visual programming but it never happens. I've got no suggestions on how to do it better so I'm not faulting anyone, except insofar as that I'm real sure that the interface to Squeak isn't the way to do it even if the rest is good. There is now actually such a thing in common use in the form of BPMN, but I haven't enjoyed that either.

Can't you already embed a browser relatively easily? How does Steam do it?

This is cheaper and Fox will say what he wants already. Plus reducing the size and spend of the government is a primary goal. The kind of people who watch PBS aren't going to believe him anyway.

That would be great, but it won't happen, because Cheeto Benito won't let it.

They probably are, because you need a fucking master's to be a social worker.

You only need the equivalent of a 2 year degree to be a nurse, but that's also a shitty job. The nurses I know were considering quitting because the hospitals weren't protecting them, and they were getting attacked by patients. So then if they want to do something else, it's back to school.

...extra foam...

It's capitalism and greed enabled by idiot masses, simple as.

They keep making changes because people are stupid and "new" equates with "good".

Most people are too stupid and/or ignorant (mostly both) to understand that AI makes slop.

Even Mozilla hired a CEO it didn't need, to help it do more business? Which didn't happen, instead it turned out to turn off users and lead to a war about the ramifications of giving him money when we found out what he does with the way too much money he was handed. So then they got another one who is equally worthless and wants to AI all the things and also gets paid way too much.

Firefox was really, really good in its early days, when the mission was about being light and fast. But they started ignoring users and also long-standing bugs very early on and the enshittification has proceeded ever since.

Those skinny scroll bars piss me off at least as much as they do you, BTW. You can barely even fucking see them in Edge. In Firefox you can see them OK, but actually using them is a nightmare. The easy fix only works on Windows, too, you have to manually edit config files on Linux. It's hard to not see that as an attack on Linux.

Slashdot shouldn't have anonymous moderation to begin with. It's a bad idea. This ain't voting.

You should probably leave it at that, but which word did you find unclear? You can ask google to define them for you.

"those same domestic laws and international treaties about sovereignty quite obviously have built in carve outs for deposing dictators that destabilize a region."

No, in fact they do not.

Your examples are stupid because none were unilateral

Show us on a picture of the Internet where "woke" touched you

People can be enrolling even though they don't think it's worth it because they don't know what else to do.

What a waste of an article
