I have it and I use it daily and I absolutely hate it. The latest MacOS Tahoe is an abomination.

It’s unstable, it sleeps monitors connected over USB-C while in use, Bluetooth audio pairing randomly doesn’t work, the virtualisation engine is crash prone, X11 integration magically stopped working a year ago and nobody seems to care.

Permissions are impenetrable, sshfs and fuse requires a kernel module and repeated reboots and permissions to be enabled.

I’m forced to have an OS update, requiring a reboot, to support a new model that I’m not running.

There’s no native package manager so applications just throw their shit all over the filesystem and the alternatives, Homebrew, Anaconda and MacPorts each have system breaking problems.

So … no. It absolutely sucks.

And here’s the kicker, it’s still better than Microsoft Windows.

Given the history of A/UX, I’d be surprised if System V didn’t have an oar in the water too.

For me it was 6502 assembly and Applesoft BASIC, followed by Commodore BASIC :)

Anyone here remember Pascal and its successor, Modula-2?

For bash scripting, shellcheck is your missing ingredient.

Nice idea, but the monopoly laws already tried to address this phenomenon and companies just restructured to avoid them.

In your scenario, a company just has to split their market in half, rename the product for half their customers, and they’re no longer holding 50% of the market.

I use apt, but you don’t have to, instead you can use any package manager from any distribution and use that distribution within the container.

If an application isn’t packaged, you can use the same mechanism to compile from source.

IMHO, if it’s not packaged and you can’t compile from source, it’s time to look for a different application.

This website doesn’t load in my browser.

I use Docker and apt instead. The definition of an application lives in a single text file and you don’t give it anymore resources or permissions than it needs.

So much so, that I wrote a bunch of scripts to make life easier, without ever needing to go anywhere near appimage, flatpak or snap.

14,000 sounds like a big number, until you realise that there’s many millions of routers. Asus is not known for backbone routing, so while this might be happening, you have to ask yourself, is this the biggest threat across the internet, or is this article intended to serve another interest?

New Yaris Cross, base model, drive away price we paid, $36k.

When we were forced to replace our 2010 Holden Cruze, we discussed at length if we should go EV or HEV.

The single biggest hurdle was that with an EV we could not drive from Perth to Dunsborough without multiple recharge delays, let alone Perth to Geraldton.

We went with a HEV and our city driving fuel consumption is less than 4 L per 100 km. The fuel tank capacity is about half what the Cruze has and the fuel consumption about a third.

We figured that if we need to replace this, we’d revisit the EV vs HEV decision, but I see little evidence that long distance driving in Western Australia is catered for in the current network or vehicle offerings.

I am not convinced that the push to EV will happen until there’s significant changes to these issues and with it, political interest, from politicians, not the general public, to actually embrace renewable resources, rather than continually push fossil fuel projects like they’re currently doing.

At first glance IP address or URL, embedded in HTML, whatever it is, it’s a doozy. I wonder what the performance of it is like.

Not to my recollection. I mainly hung out on the comp.* and alt.best.of.internet groups. Together with another member we wrote the original aboi FAQ.

Edit:

Here’s something I wrote about it on another platform:

I’ve been looking for my first Usenet post in 1990, found a few close to the first, but not (yet) the first.

I would not be surprised if there are older posts predating the internet, stored on the Hobby Computer Club FIDO mirrors … assuming that they are still in existence.

While the topic is important, the absurd number of em-dashes in that article leads me to discard it out of hand as Assumed Intelligence slop … which is unfortunate since the premise is interesting.

There’s no simple answer to that question.

And how will Instagram know who my parents are?

Regardless of how or why it failed, the constitution and the society it represented, failed to secure the continued existence of the country.

A constitution is not the only way to form a country and the two examples you gave both ended up with a despot in charge.
