Had some guy calling everyone dunces he disagreed with on fb.
Apparently, it doesn’t violate community standards
Either does porn, or any form of harassment
But apparently, me telling people that I was safe overnight at a hut when hiking, where and how many people isn’t ok, and that post was removed
They also like trying to sabotage the economy when they’re not in charge by telling others it’s shit … and there is evidence trump tried to delay deals last election
Don’t be surprised if he did the same to undermine Biden this time
Yeah… I used to sell Apple gear.
When Apple announced the Mighty mouse 20 years ago, everyone was super excited. There wasn’t much info, and we were almost wondering if it was a touch sensitive button on it.
What we got though was a mouse which gave you RSI any time you clicked the right button.
Now, I have a Mac Studio. Every PC has the power button on the top or front. This guy? Nah, lets put it on the back! And the M2 is a professional machine, so lets ship with 8GB ram only… And MAKE IT SHARED VIDEO MEMORY!
And lets stick an ARM chip with no raytracing on it, because thats what people crave
Apple insider are already framing this as not a design flaw but an advantage somehow
The biggest issue with Linux at the moment isn’t the os. It’s the community, and because of that, they keep scaring off developers, and ironically many developers only stick around now because they’re hired by a large company
I’ve seen so many developers (including myself), who got smashed by the community so we just gave up
It has definitely gotten better though (vastly) in the past 20 years
I also learned how to program at 13 in my free time
I didn’t ignore any subjects in school. In fact, I actually did well in high school…
But I’m sure people will try to look at my life and try to make thousands of different excuses to explain that, especially if I founded Microsoft. But it was just because I enjoyed programming and worked hard too.(Like I spent days copying coffee from a basic book for a game)
Ie wasn’t even a factor until years later. There was no compelling reason to use anything other than ie until Firefox (to end users, Netscape and Mozilla was comparable to ie). It had no impact on the initial success of Windows. Netware failed because it was crap compared to windows 95 too. Their competitors simply didn’t compare to windows 95. That’s not bullying. They were too busy competing with windows 3.1
Windows 95 wasn’t that unstable either. Maybe you had bad ram in your system or bad drivers . Sure the NT kernel was better, but Windows 95 was perfectly usable and was used. It did crash. But it wasn’t a regular thing. You’re acting like it happened daily.
Osx was only released in 2001 and macos required Apple hardware Windows 95 succeeded because it actually worked and had broad hardware support
You keep talking about IE, but Windows was successful before most people had the Internet. Internet explorer only became anti monopoly consideration because Windows had already managed to be
Also, how do you expect people to respond when you disrespect them and make assumptions about their experience and age to try to add credibility to your argument at their expense? If you don’t know how old I am, don’t assume I’m young. I’m not . And fyi, one of my projects was mentioned in Linux format 20 years ago, so don’t assume I wasn’t heavy into Linux either
I never said he wrote dos. They bought it from cpm if I recall
I said he was a developer well before Ms dos
He was a hard worker from the beginning. That’s why he was successful
Our first family computer was a 8086.
So don’t speak on behalf of me please, or make assumptions
Explain your answer.
To literally anyone at that time, Windows 95 was a game changer. It brought many things including proper plug and play, and less screwing with autoexec.bat
The competition was Apple. Apple started going bankrupt because of this. Bill was a coder from 13 years old. They weren’t a monopoly until much later.
He was going to be successful regardless. His initial fortune was from Windows 95 which sold 7 million copies in 5 weeks
The guy started learning to program when he was 13 and had already written a lot of software and done a lot before Ms dos
I tried to look up the IBM claim but couldn’t find anything.
But, what has that got to do with exploitation?
Or are you trying to argue he exploited IBM…
Well. You’re making the claim, let’s see the receipts. They pay their workers well, I haven’t heard any evidence they get treated like slaves like bezos
I knew I’d get downvoted but Lemmy people, but I’ve heard no evidence otherwise.
Bill got rich because of windows 95, and it was a really good product.
He made a lot of his riches before the Internet and before IE
Also, I did try early Debian back in those days, and Linux simply was unusable for consumers back then.
It’s not always the case.
Bill Gates I feel earned his money.
But, I agree, the others definitely exploited people
I actually operate an indoor rock climbing group and didn’t even realise how many of them were gay until years of climbing with them. 2 of them I’m still not sure. 1 of them I only figured it out because they had a climbing shirt on with a lgbtiq climbing community logo on it (and they actually operate that organisation)
The hilarious part of the whole thing is that they spent years trying to trigger libs. But ultimately online, they’ve managed to create their own self sustaining trigger circle that mainly affects them. That they use to accumulate their whining. Whereas the rest of us now just see them as crazies.
That doesn’t mean there are people on the left who aren’t crazy. But, that seems confined online. Whereas the right often seem to extend it offline because many seemingly don’t know the difference between reality and conspiracy theories anymore
One thing you’ll notice about the right wing is that so many of them have a huge number of comments. Probably because most of them I suspect are retirees who jerked around during high school. It’s easy to comment when there is no attempt at supporting evidence
The only people who rant about that stuff is the right wing
I’m straight but have lots of lgbtiq friends, and conversations like that never come up.
It’s oddly enough the right wing who bring that conversation up constantly and exaggerate it
Yep. I hate clickbait. You’re a legend
Of course it has. It says everything you need to know
Maybe they should be investigated for all the child porn they used to host and the TD contributions to the riots
You’re not wrong.
These are the same people onsite who never take responsibility.
Also, they’re willing to listen to children. Literally saw one yesterday comment on Facebook repeating the “kamala,” nonsense.
Seriously, they act like children… Their dictator is literally a child, and no body in high school even would act this way
I have housemates. And cameras and dogs… But you’re normally right
Facebook definitely is.
My post on the weekend telling people where I was travelling to ensure if I disappeared they’d know where to find me for deleted for cybersecurity reasons
Yet, I regularly report abuse, bullying, porn, etc and the AI moderation never sees any issues
And every single post there now is:
Lol 😂 Newline newline new line
Repost repost…I am an obvious bot. Often I am a stupid car meme mocking EVs and solar, etc
Nah. We’re not totally there yet.
A lot of them still need to dehumanize others by saying they eat pets first, pretend they’re criminals and make them enemies by claiming they’re stealing jobs
Over time, it will become normalised and an entire new generation of f wits will emerge
