Gotta give the next gen something to complain about.

SD card. Half us old timers won’t even realize it’s not a floppy disk.

The also killed their UI performance previously when Vista first launched. Remember Aero?

The face is way too proportional tho

Yeah I meant to exclude those types of OS level changes, good point.

I quit web dev before Apple silicon took over (I bought one of the last intel laptops because I’m a Luddite about losing my old apps and weird projects.

There is su on MacOS, I just didn’t ever need it for the kinds of dev work I did.

It runs bash(or zsh) and most of the rest of the things you’d use in a dev environment and (before docker was so popular) it was pretty easy (maybe 15-20 minutes from scratch with makes) to set up a new Mac to mimic a Unix server environment for local dev work.

It’s nice out here though.

I used to write it all the steps I thought I’d need as these types of comments, then go back and write the real methods. But I usually replaced the comments with more detailed jsdocs style comments with as much detail about the parameters as returnvalues as possible.

Then I quit web dev and moved to the woods.

Yeah a local record of blocked ads would be trivial to save and no need to upload.

Takes roughly a billion $1 pieces of paper.

Then send a ridiculously small number of those to your state representatives.

I think digital fascism is a likely motivator at this point. The ceos have all been hanging out with the political fascists, so there’s not much reason to think otherwise.

And they make them so tricky to repair that appliance repair people will either have to charge too much or outright refuse to work on them.

Dishwashers, the 3 most recent dishwashers that I have had experience using across 3 very different households and use levels, from 3 different manufacturers, have all had minor to major faults in the 4-5 years since installation, just after the warranty period ended.

Mostly drawer and roller related, but also a pump failure.

It’s our court system specifically. Anyone can sue for anything, and litigation is used to solve the problem. It takes forever and billions are wasted on lawyers. That’s a big reason. Also the fuck-you-I-got-mine culture (NIMBYs) that use the courts disingenuinly.

A good listen that explains a lot of the reasons is The Big Dig, about Bostons huge infrastructure debacle.

Super Mario bros 1 & 3. I still have them working on my old Wii, but I’ve been planning on a retro pi setup for ages.

My OG NES stopped working a decade ago.

Tech ingredients is really good too. The anti drone laser, radiant cooling, and various diy evaporative cooling projects especially. Homemade hootch too, but I tend to doze off during those.

They also got better during the pandemic, instead of worse, like AvE and some of the bigger channels. And have had some good protester related experiments like protecting from microwave and audio type police dispersal weapons.

E we used to always stash before checkouts to try and find things in a branch

Water.

It’s already happening in parallel though, not next.

Pretty much the entirety of advertising always has been, especially since the fall of the fairness doctrine. With the rare exception of ad agencies that are making artworks to try and win awards once in a while.

The only possible missing ingredient is if Putin has a terminal illness and unfettered control of Russia’s nuclear arms. Similar problem with Trump, but his dementia will hopefully prevent the worst as he’ll lose the ability to make those decisions, and his handlers presumably want a continued existence on this planet (for now).
