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.

To clarify, OS X was descended from NeXTSTEP, which was built on Mach and BSD.

I tried to like Perplexity and just couldn't make good use of it. Maybe I was doing something wrong but the responses I got were rarely any good.

We've been in a recession for 5 years

Be a better parent and teach your kid to pay their own way.

When the money involved in that small minutia is greater than the net worth of some countries then why on Earth would you be surprised?

There is zero reason to do business in the EU today. The entire EU is stagnating because of stuff like this. There is no innovation coming out, new businesses are practically nonexistent.

Really sad watching the EU become a Government version of Rambus that just sues everyone for money when the ideas run out.

90%+ of the AI they showed off at WWDC was their own. There was one small segment where they showed it asking for approval to go out to ChatGPT. I'd hardly call that struggling.

My boss did this with one of my coworkers. Made the guy quit, then took his salary and hired 16 Indians out of Hyderabad and still had leftover cash to burn.

You want to get past a perceived "diaper" and "child" stage by putting people and companies in diapers and treating them like children. I'll never understand how people like you can be so delusional. You're entire premise is wrong and then you build a whole narrative around it to try and sound smart. Its fucking pathetic.

Very entitled. Go work construction or as a mechanic or even a welder. 99 times out a 100 they have to buy their own tools. This mentality in tech that the company should coddle to your every whim on equipment is isolated to tech and doesn't exist outside of it. They do it though and then everyone bitches about the equipment, destroys it and complains that the company doesn't do better.

Well how about we move to zerotrust and just use whatever device we want? I already do this at work. I use my personal device and all the apps are isolated from my stuff. I dont have to have multiple devices and I can upgrade it whenever the hell I want.
