Still, they're the Monsanto of software: if something would be worth doing and lucrative, but is not evil, they're not doing.

This scorpion doesn't seem able to change its stripes.

The Global Warming Gang is not in the business of predicting anything, they try hard to make it happen.

But if you mean scientists, just wait till you hear about AMOC collapse. No serious models anymore say it won't happen. And then, you'll have the heat that you wish for.

"It's an agent that prompts Claude,"

It's AI all the way down

Notion is really only valuable as a memory/brain for Claude these days. It actually excels at that when used properly. I was also annoyed by their gmail/calendar inetgration though. It really wanted to take over the inbox and tag things how it wanted. I just didn't understand the point of it.

Micron started a new fab at their HQ in 2024 and it's barely halfway built. They have another one going up somewhere on the east coast also. They take years to build and many billions of dollars. They don't go up over night.

I worked at Micron for almost 9 years and have seen the fabs being built. Its not small feat.

Recycling plastic is a scam, and has been known to be impossible 70 years ago when the idea was born. But reducing trash is an important goal, mostly due to plastic not decomposing for pretty much forever.

I see you registered here 3 minutes before me. I remember when this place was hosted in Robs dorm room.

I've been using Demon's Dead (MAP10/MAP16) as phone's ringtone for decades now; DSSLOP as the notification sound.

Shawn Got the Shotgun (MAP07) is another gem.

On the other hand, if you haven't seen Doom stuff this millenium, go check out Pirate Doom!

Everyone born today is in debt for hundreds of thousands of dollars because the people before them would t balance a budget and the government decided to print print print. They either work and pay that money off or they die in complete poverty. Thatâ(TM)s slavery. Itâ(TM)s debtors prison minus the walls holding them in. We are all cattle in this economy and they will either milk us or slaughter us at their whim. If you believe otherwise I feel sorry for you. Itâ(TM)s the economic version of the Matrix. Wake up

To be fair the government believes this too. Why else would they just print money whenever the fuck they feel like it? That of course begs the question, why do I pay taxes if they just print money whenever the fuck they want to? It's all completely fake and made to enslave people. This hasn't been a capitalist country in decades, not since leaving the gold standard.

Why are you arguing? Your post just proved my whole point. Also it's not based on FreeBSD, it utilized the FreeBSD user space while doing their own kernel, Darwin. You keep stating "can't be fixed" as if it's some fact, while simultaneously acknowledging others have, in fact, fixed these issues in the past. Let it go.

I disagree. Apple went from OS9 to OSX, a completely new codebase by creating new frameworks for devs and a translation layer for old apps (Remember Cocoa, Rosetta, Carbon?). They then phased the old out while providing documentation and tools for devs to move. It's perfectly doable with very clear cases of it being done. Microsoft simply refuses to do it.

Apple's even done this while switching from PPC to Intel and then to ARM. There is no technological barrier here, it's all organizational and cultural at MS.

It can be fixed, they just won't do it. Microsoft has fought internally over various technologies for decades, between win32 and .Net and all the shit in-between. They never standardized like Apple did which left them entrenched in technical debt. They could, today, start a standardization process, build out a new and modern tech stack, advise their devs to migrate to that, then set a date with the cut off. Apple's success at this is a model for anyone to follow. They just won't due to internal fighting.

Everyone else sheds the old stuff, even Linux drops code from time to time. Microsoft does this to themselves.

Bold of you , to imagine that by that point in a few decades, that lake still exists.

If you enable sideloading, Android will also disable a bunch of "protections", some real some alleged. And bank apps and even stuff like my phone company's payment control app refuse to start if those protections are off.

At least that's what I glean from what Google said; we can't even test what they actually block until the restrictions go live.
