ICQ was still online!?!?!
I stopped using that shit like 25 years ago. Thought died in the late 90’s

Yeah… I’m not gonna worry about it until maybe September next year.
Pirrrrrrrr = Pir^8
No internet means the gullible masses will remain uninformed and vulnerable to manipulation.
The GOP wants a solid foundation of uneducated poor to exploit as the base workforce and voter base.
Cheap idiots to fuel their companies.
I need a documenter!
I have a head full of stuff that hasn’t had time to be documented, and being a single point of knowledge isn’t job security, it’s a major risk.
My code gets documented. But so much infrastructure is just held in my head as senior SysAdmin. Wherever possible I just have a ride-along “up-skilling” (works like a RAID mirror for my brain).
Bro couldn’t even clean his room in 3 days.
Every site in the early 2000s had a left nav menu
Motherfucker!
If I was given an AI interview I would burn that place to the ground. The fucking disrespect.
A massive swathe of current gen devices don’t even support it.
It won’t be a month.
Microsoft announce changes much smaller than that 4 years out and still have to give extensions.
WQ = Write and Quit Q! = quit and do nothing else
Multiline cut, copy, paste is where I forget commands.
Maybe they filtered those strings to be safe, and put the notice there to answer the invertible “why won’t it accept my password” queries.
It’s a shitty password engine. But not necessarily uncleansed
No. Some of us were already there.
Lifetime Microsoft expert here, I have had machines with Linux in one flavour or another for 15+ years at least.
But for ease of use I just keep coming back to Windows… Because I know it backwards and upside down.
The structure of it makes sense to me. And I have ADHD so I have a terrible working memory and Linux relies FAR too much on command console to do anything effective.
But Linux is hands-down the better system to get away from Microsoft’s enshitification of Windows. But I personally like Windows better.
So I will always run both. But if I need to be really productive, Windows Desktop it is. If I need a server, Linux every time. (Unless it’s MS SQL or a website).
Open-source it a better interface then.
Until it’s as useful as at least Sync for Lemmy, people will use 3rd party proprietary apps
Pascal, turbo Pascal and Delphi were my earliest real programming experiences making commercial software (the ability to inline assembly code in turbo Pascal was very good.)
It really was an excellent introduction to programming.
But then I switched to properly multithreadded object oriented programming, which Pascal was not so good at.
OP asked for feedback.
Dude you’re pretty condescending for a new author on an old topic.
Yeah I read it and it’s very over worded.
1024 was the closest binary approximation of 1000 so that became the standard measurement. Then drive manufacturers decided to start using decimal for capacity because it was a great way to make numbers look better.
Then the IEC decided “enough of this confusion” and created binary naming standards (kibi gibi etc…) and enforced the standard decimal quantity values for standard names like kilo-.
It’s not ground breaking news and your constant arguing with people in the thread paints you as quite immature. Especially when plenty of us remember the whole story BECAUSE WE LIVED IT AS IT PROFESSIONALS.
We lacked a standard, a system was created. It was later changed to match global standard values.
You portray it with emotive language making decisions out to be stupid, or malicious. A decision was made that was perfectly sensible at the time. It was then improved. Some people have trouble with change.
Your writing and engagement styles scream of someone raised on clickbait news. Focus on facts, not emotion and sensationalism if you want to be taken seriously in tech writing.
Focus on emotion and bullshit of you want to work for BuzzFeed.
And if you just want an argument go use bloody twitter.
I came here to avoid Reddit.
Now I get their posts like non-interactive ads.
The UI is still missing basic features. The start menu is fucked.
The OS is fine, the Desktop is under cooked.
I SMS my boss when I’m off sick.
