  • Fucking click bait garbage article, but thankfully the article has a tldr at the top that basically contradicts the headline and saves you minutes of time to realize you’ve been baited;

    TL;DR: Microsoft has introduced a paywall for Notepad, requiring a Microsoft 365 subscription to access new features like the AI-powered Rewrite tool.

    Better headline: Microsoft forces you to pay to suffer through using their AI tool that no one asked for, application otherwise unchanged.











  • How many teens you think can actually read and understand legacy languages like FORTRAN and COBOL? Let alone a complex codebase written in them?

    I studied COBOL a bit in college and it’s not exactly hard to read short snippets if you understand other languages, but good luck wrapping your head around anything remotely complex and actually understand what it is doing without having someone who understands the language. Hell, 15-20 years on and multiple languages later, my eyes still cross trying to read and grok COBOL. The people supporting those old code bases get paid well for a reason …




  • I’m fairly left as well, and whenever I brought up strategic voting I was swatted down with “genocide” like the other person. I was event told by multiple “lefty” users that they hoped Trump won just so it would hurt the democratic party and “teach them a lesson”. No matter that we’d be pouring gas on the fire and bringing shit home, they still had to TeAcH tHeM a LeSsOn. Ugh.

    The only people who hate leftists more than rightoids are other leftists, and its for shit like that. Moral purity over pragmatism is no different than fanaticism in my eyes. As much as we may hate electoralism, its the only way to work within the system and not let fascists take over. But here we are.


  • Yet somehow, they’re the darling of the gaming scene.

    It’s fucking bizarre.

    It’s really not bizarre at all. You wanna know why game enthusiasts like valve? Take the list the other guy gave you and find a store that has close to half of the features steam offers. Add in great hardware support (my controller and my deck are some of the best experiences I’ve had), and a healthy dose of actually making Linux gaming viable for the average person, and it’s obvious AF why game enthusiasts like valve.

    Even if they can’t count to 3.

    That logic doesn’t make sense if you do am as well though, since 4 am (ante meridian, before midday) is not 4 hours before midday.
