I noticed AI was replying to my support tickets for Private Internet Access, so I prompt injected it to talk like a pirate.

That be yer ship’s flag. A VPN lets ye sail under false colors!

They pulled into my instance not long after! I think sometimes you have to be the first subscriber to see content because the instance itself won’t subscribe if nobody wants that data.

I see zero posts on my instance. I may be the first subscriber from here!

Is that the green iPad man?

The equivalent of a pop-up asking you if you’re 18 or older.

Back in the day, I was 18 for like five years.

Note that the official documentation says that it’s experimental and may leak your IP address.

I still don’t have 5G in my area.

This makes sense. I have a friend from way back in HS who interned there while he was working on his degree who said that cloud services was the priority at the time, and Windows was more just a vehicle that they continued to maintain. That continues to be the approximate temperature of the product and is in line with my expectations.

I could imagine a future where Windows is just a proprietary DE over a Linux system. I don’t think it’s coming anytime soon because of the development cost it would impose, but I don’t see why they would go to such efforts maintaining a system they could get for free if the desktop user base keeps shrinking. They’re just too greedy not to do that. Even the backwards compatibility with Windows software is becoming a solved problem.

Aside from my above rant, the PC is definitely fast becoming an enthusiast/business platform. I opened a retirement account the other day through my smart phone!

Precisely. Windows is a side project for Microsoft now.

No.

You do realize you’re in a Linux gaming community?

You can quickly and easily filter this community out from being shown to you.

Not everything is Chrome just yet. We still have Gecko and Webkit holding on.

It was fun! It worked well when compared with IE back in the day which isn’t saying much, but it was a sensible bedfellow with iTunes and all the Apple mobile support software that was common to run alongside for your iPod. I enjoyed using it as my main browser because it was aesthetically pleasing.

Apple used rigged demos and made false claims about their own technology so outstanding that their own project managers were taken aback by how far behind the features actually were vs. what was pushed. There’s already informal documentaries on the massive internal disconnects within Apple that have lead to poor product testing and stagnation.

I did use Safari for Windows back in the day. It was a product they indeed shipped.

Nice! I recently tried KDE Plasma and I’ve been really impressed not just with the polish but with the look and feel that still kind of reminds me of Windows without being Windows.

I came here just to write this – I thought we clearly chose to leave behind cybersecurity because education and science are bad.

Then use decentralized links or hashes, which is what IPFS uses to identify content. A character limit doesn’t solve this problem fundamentally. Indeed, it’s been a tough problem to solve for decentralized services.
