I have one because I am a professional with a job and don't have time to mess around with Linux on my laptop when I'm not getting paid. That leaves Windows and macOS. I haven't had a good Windows experience since XP.
Yeah, and there are kids pooping in litterboxes in Texas schools! /s I would never trust media covering youth trends. It's a bunch of 50yos whose teenager told them something as a joke and they took it seriously. See…

Nit pick: "nit pick" means to remove tiny bugs from hair, which this is not. Oh, language changes and now "nit pick" means "to make trivial criticisms" even though neither "nit" nor "pick" etymologically has anything to…
Counterpoint: -copter is a perfectly cromulent suffix. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-copter gyrocopter, helicopter, quadcopter, hexacopter, octocopter, parcelcopter, and—most famously— roflcopter,…

I don't think it's nitpicking. I think it goes to the heart of the issue: people saying "stuff I didn't use when I was a kid is BAD." The term "technology" is just being used as a veil to hide the lack of reasoning.
"back in my day, kids listened to their elders" > all the technology added since has resulted in no discernible improvement in educational results. I would say it's because it's used stupidly (also I'd take a…

Right. I'm taking personal offense to someone using "leather shoes" so inaccurately. :)
I feel like everyone is reading "leather shoe" and interpreting it as "dress shoe," but tennis shoes/trainers are usually leather, too. Sandals, moccasins, etc. Leather is a material. My ON running shoes are leather. My…
None of these things are true about the material. They're all true of poorly-made shoes. Also that's a very broad category. "Leather shoes." That's like nearly every dress and athletic shoe that exists. IT's all…

Where is this possible? In the US, it is impossible. Non-profit's do not have owners, so they cannot be sold or changed to for-profit ones, so there are only two ways for a non-profit to "turn into" a for-profit: * sell…
It's not short-sighted. It's a recognition of time being a finite resource. One can't know everything. Perhaps I should've said "this only matters to Albanians because everyone else has significantly more pressing…
Those are all open web standards, though. Flash was a proprietary platform. I can't even run Flash stuff anymore because it was proprietary.
I suppose there's no accounting for taste, but from happy tree friends to xiaoxiao3's flash fights, indie animators made some pretty awesome stuff back then. My university experience included a lot of checking for new,…

Apr Fools Day really is the shittiest day to be online. For one thing, practical jokes/pranks are just gussied-up asshole behavior. For another thing, nerds generally SUCK at information-delivery pranks, which is what…
The only people this is relevant to are Albanians. I don't expect an Albanian to know about data centers being built in Texas. Hell, I don't expect Michiganders to know about them.
