That sounds awful. You get someone who doesn’t really know the company or product, they take a bunch of decisions that fundamentally affect how you work, and then they’re gone.

… actually, that sounds exactly like any other company.

This is the plan all along. It’s not about porn, it’s not even about control. It’s about teaching Americans a second language. You know who’s behind this? Duolingo and Big Language.

It’s still there, but turning it off still won’t let you associate txt files with the old notepad.

Simply uninstalling the app works fine though, then it defaults to the old one.

“I want to start with a blank slate”

There’s a setting for that.

“I don’t want tabs”

This one’s trickier: there’s only a setting to open existing files in a new window; you’ll still have tabs.

If your skull size increases but what’s inside doesn’t, that sounds potentially very bad.

Plot twist: you are the dinner.

Or when those genius scientists say something that shows they don’t even have a high schooler’s grasp of maths.

Magical accident: the teacher had flipped themselves through the fourth dimension the night before.

Completely off topic, but I hate when articles appear to link to original sources, but only link to their own site.

“Microsoft admitted that …” -> link to Microsoft’s admission? Nope, to a neowin article.

“Nvidia released a patch …” -> links to a neowin article instead of the patch.

“Microsoft KB 0000” -> surely this will link to the actual KB? Nope, neowin article.

I did a double take; thought you said OF.

“ … and here I forgot an ampersand so the parameter was passed by value instead of by reference and I spent so much time …. Oh. You meant the other kind of bugs, didn’t you?”

Get aired? What does that mean?

Actually yes, I do cross platform development on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Mac is by far the most work and breaks constantly.

Screaming into the void is fun until the void screams back.

Really? Then why is Apple so popular among a subset of developers?

The risk for both general and corporate business users far outweighs any minor inconveniences of moving to a new OS version.

Minor inconveniences like HAVING TO BUY A WHOLE NEW FUCKING COMPUTER.

These people live in a fantasy world.

They did the same to me. I think they’ve got cameras set up all through my house. So I started walking around naked so they’ll have something nice to look at. I haven’t gotten a thank you yet though.

They don’t accept verifiable sources. A hundred peer reviewed papers don’t weigh up against a single dissenting voice if that one voice agrees with their views.

I don’t know. I also remember spending summer nights talking under street lanterns, riding my bike around the block, and playing the Snoopy tennis game & watch. But the video I saw did not feel nostalgic. It felt like a TV ad that I didn’t believe even back then. Or worse, it felt like a cult, which was terrifying.
