I’ve been using Firefox since the beginning, before that Mozilla, and before that Netscape Navigator.

But I think it’s finally time to switch to Librewolf.

I don’t want digital advertising of any kind, even if my privacy is “preserved” through fancy data-laundering.

ITT: Rust programmers rewriting the joke in Rust.

You could try VanillaOS 2.0 Beta which is a Debian-based immutable distro, planned for final release later this year.

That’s kind of true, but MacOS and Mac OSX are 2 different things

Then Windows 3.0 and Windows 11 are two different things, so by that metric you can’t include Windows either.

all the way from 1991 to 2024, I think the only other OS that has managed that is Windows

It’s easy to forget about MacOS when it only has 15% desktop market share.

Operating systems that started before 1991 that are still in active development (had a release in the last 12 months):

• Multics (1969-)
• MVS (1974-) via OS/390 (1995-) -> z/OS (2001-)
• VMS (1977) via OpenVMS (1992-)
• BSD (1978-) via 386BSD -> FreeBSD, NetBSD -> OpenBSD
• HP-UX (1982-)
• SunOS (1982-1994) via Solaris (1992-)
• MacOS (1984-)
• AIX (1986-)
• RISC OS (1987-)

Almost made it:

• Minix (1987-2017)
• Genera (1982-2021)
• AmigaOS (1985-2021)
• NeXTSTEP (1987-1997) via GNUStep (1993-2021)
• IBM i (1988-2022)
• SpartaDOS (1988-2022)

This was a joke, 14 years ago:

Any novel idea that gets a modicum of success is immediately and repeatedly flogged to death by copy-cats, both indie and corporate, for the next several years until the gaming public is sick of seeing it. See any recent successful gaming trend for an example.

I think the post is supposed to link here: https://timemachiner.io/2022/06/18/windows-95-launch-video-reminds-us-how-90s-the-90s-were/

For some reason when I view the post it just links to a jpeg

This is the Windows 95 launch video in my mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kemivUKb4f4

He was in the airport, remember. Not in a local market.

I lost my earbuds in a remote town in Chile, so tried buying a new pair at the airport before flying out.

True Apple lightning devices are more expensive to make.

…

I wish @Apple would devote an employee or two to cracking down on such a technological, psychological abomination as this.

He wants to take away a budget option from developing countries where people can’t afford the expensive version of the proprietary technology, and he wants Apple to be the one to do it?

Fuck this guy.

Why not post your blogs to a fediverse platform? Do they need to be on a separate hosted system? You’ll probably get more people reading and engaging with your posts if you are just posting to a Mastodon instance rather than hosting on a separate web platform and hoping that people stumble across it.

If you’re not storing on a filesystem that calculates and checks erasure codes then you can always generate PAR2 files yourself.

I agree with your original comment; it’s worth using a dedicated PC for gaming on the TV. But I think your second sentence is just parroting current-gen console marketing. It’s not actually true that current-gen consoles are providing a 4k@60 HDR experience.

No, Forza Motorsport uses dynamic resolution upscaled to 4k in Performance mode, and in Quality mode it also uses dynamic resolution but targets 30fps.

I was asking specifically about native 4K games, not dynamic resolution upscaled to 4k.

if you wanted an answer why are you arguing?

It was a rhetorical question. There are no actual current-gen releases running at 4k60 native resolution. They all use dynamic resolution with 1080p-1440p rendering resolution that then upscales to 4k for display.

A PS4 game? Nice.

What game on what console?
