I think it is pretty impressive if you consider ChromeOS, with all of Google's resources behind it, is at 1.47%.
Ha I just booted Haiku on my desktop yesterday and it ran surprisingly well. Kind of took me back to 2001. If Firefox is stable on it I actually probably could switch from Windows (my needs are pretty simple at home).
No idea, but at least Microsoft has some semblance of support where you can talk to a person.
I (reluctantly) gave up on the Mac several years ago. Being on a PC might initially seem clunky and unrefined but it is actually very freeing to be able to choose my manufacturer, the OS, components, have tons of ports…
Whenever I want to experience the web as it used to be I’ll run a search on wiby.me or browse neocities.org

Weird. I figured at the time it was due to COVID related supply chain issues, but I just checked and they still don't stock them locally.

I agree with your overall point but I'm starting to regularly see older M series MacBooks on sale for around 600 or 700 dollars brand new. Maybe they are using the strategy of selling older hardware for less like they…
The job market is scary. I can afford a better house right now but am scared shitless I won’t be able to keep my income up. So we stay in our small old house for now, maybe forever.
I thought they were just a web portal and email service. It is amazing they still offered ISP services this long. They had some pretty unscrupulous business practices back in the day with their free trial CD mailers. My…
MacOS is unusable to me now. I had to switch back to Windows. There is something about the iOS aesthetic on MacOS that looks like they just smeared Vaseline all over everything and this new glass design doesn't help.
I don't know much about Gambas but it seems it is Linux only whereas Xojo is cross platform.
Have you checked out RISC OS already?
Trump would be the 47th president.
I liked CityDesk so much I wrote a clone of it in Xojo (then Realbasic) about 15 years ago. It has wysiwyg, templates, uses sqlite instead of a MS Access DB. Sometimes I think about making it public but don’t know if…
Xojo is basically VB6's spiritual successor. https://xojo.com/
I like the earlier Civ games, up to around version 4 for this reason. Less complexity and micromanagement.
I also miss some aspects of retail. Life was easy when all I had to do was show up and stock the shelves. Co-workers were a lot easier to talk to and make friends with. I actually had pretty good insurance for about $20…
Part of the fun of MySpace was customizing your page with backgrounds, music, moving your top 10 friends around, etc. I sometimes think there is a niche market for this kind of social media again, adapted for mobile…
This reminds me of why I like cheap little Chromebooks. The cost to utility ratio is amazing for a little over 100 bucks, I don't worry much about the laptop getting damaged or lost, more ports than a MacBook, and a…
I’m not sure why stick builders haven’t embraced factory production of homes. Maybe local codes are prohibitive of this kind of development? It seems it would be a lot easier to buy large tracts of land, build streets…
So a MacBook without a monitor? I do like this idea though. I would rather integrate the CPU into the keyboard instead of those gorgeous 5K displays, which limits their lifespans. Seems like such a waste.
It just seems odd that there would be identification numbers for a U.S. agency included in a data dump of a foreign military.
Why would Russian military personnel have Social Security Numbers?
