Google Chrome launch comic for nostalgia: https://scottmccloud.com/googlechrome/

Also good context for why the launch of Chrome was such a big deal.

Can someone chime in with the credibility of this Twitter account? I can't find anything to cross collaborate it other than low quality hype induced news articles about the tweet itself.

Yes, but the people with the RAM nowadays are the data centers, not the end users.

GrapheneOS allows you to deny network access per app pretty trivially. Google Play services make it a bit more difficult because the app might marshall the network request through that; I'm not sure how to verify that behavior when it happens.

A Linux Distro that comes with Wine and Application shortcuts could probably achieve this. Sounds really cool actually. Retro LAN Party Distro.

Bluetooth autoconnect configuration is a Wayland issue? I honestly would have never guessed. I always figured it was the responsibility of the DE or bluez service.

I think the endgame is you go to Google or your favorite subscription based LLM for knowledge instead of visiting websites. Ads can continue living within LLM search results and it can even become a marketplace where you order within the LLM environment.

You can affect your consciousness by hitting yourself in the head with a hammer. Pretty good argument for me to believe it is a physical phenomenon.

Reminds me of this blog post and conference presentation on home cooked software by Maggie Appleton.

I have trouble wrapping my head around how to make it so the public can create an issue in your git repo.

I have had my eye on these technologies for a while. Embedding the issue tracker and such in your git repo. Every day these make more and more sense.

I've been using my 2012 Paperwhite Kindle with Calibre and the experience is honestly great. The only thing I miss from the Amazon shut down is Wikipedia lookup and highlight/note syncing. Otherwise, I've steered clear of Amazon DRM for a long time so I didn't really care because I was already sideloading books with Calibre.

Upgraydd was also the guy's name in the present. He traveled to the future to be there with them.

I reject your definition of welfare. You're thinking far too narrowly about the benefit to society by taking care of your citizens' needs.

Who is "the author" these days? Is it Slime? I wonder what Rude and Bartbes and vrld are up to these days. Are releases still done on holidays? Are all libraries still named after sex themes? I was active for versions 0.4 - 0.6.

Why do laborers have to work for the right to live when capitalists only have to provide capital and are always assumed to be worthy? Capital and labor is combined to produce new capital. Yet we only expect labor to prove their worth. We're always holding labor's feet to the fire and killing them through policy that allows their poverty by assuming they are lazy.

There is basically zero consequence for capitalists when they decide to withhold capital from laborers. Therefore taking away labor's ability to generate new capital. They took down the entire rust belt by doing this. Why shouldn't we hold them accountable? Why does everyone blame labor and say welfare is only for people in poverty?

He ran a surplus by (In Bill Clinton's own words) "ending welfare as we know it". This was his description of the Personal Responsibility Act he signed. That attack on labor and bolstering of the financial markets was a huge contributor to our economic disasters. Keynesian was never meant to be a permanent solution to a growing capitalism system. And the Hayekian system we have now is just pillaging by neoliberals.

I'll throw https://nextdns.io into the mix. Been very happy with it. Supports DOH, block lists, among a plethora of other features.

Am I reading this right that Matteo is saying providence is not important because there are lots of historical cases of not having providence of code?

> Many contributions contain routine, non-copyrightable material, and developers still sign off on them.

> Compilers change code in ways developers do not always track. Template generators create output from their own logic. Stack Overflow answers are often copied into codebases without much thought about licensing.

And forums and word of mouth!

Hey. That's curiously similar to my instructions. Weird!

What does an RSS URL look like from a chrome extension?

How do you generate a meaningful diff from a saved hash?

I won't get fooled again!

I hesitate to write this here, but https://libera.chat is a lovely and thriving IRC server.

Isn't that because Kagi is just filtered Google results?

The tea leaves are indicating Motorola.

Software has gotten considerably worse with time. Windows and MacOS are basically in senescence from my point of view. Haven't added a feature I've wanted in years, but manages to make my experience worse year to year anyways.

CPU vulnerability mitigations make my computer slower than when I bought it.

Computers and laptops are increasingly not repairable. So much ewaste is forced on us for profit.

The internet is a corporate controlled prison now. Political actors create fake online accounts to astroturf, manipulate, and influence us.

The increasing cost of memory and GPU make computers no longer affordable.

I love my WWV/WWVB clocks. It is nice never having to set them and they are all within a second of my NTP clocks.

Now if only I could turn off the clocks on my oven and microwave...
