You can see our light pollution fillth from space as well. For a long while now.

Not too many care about that either.

Security updates should be mandatory. Something like safety recalls on a vehicle.

Our data. About us. Bought by our government. With tax money we gave them. How can I get a piece of this pie?

Yes, these companies they are buying from are getting rich off our tax money. Boycott Google? Not gonna happen. They just get your money indirectly.

Give it some time. Everyone’s life priorities will change and something like this won’t be at the top of the list.

And just like that, uninstalled their app from my Android mobile device. It wasn’t that great anyway.

No mention of Mosaic (first web browser)? What sucked was you generally had to compile it yourself. That meant installing all the build tooling, building it, and turning it loose. Oh. Windows? Lol. No go. Gotta get an early version of Linux up and running first. That usually meant 20+ diskettes of Slackware installation.

But then you could surf in all the basic HTTP glory. It was a new world and it was awesome.

I got flagged on my work computer for connecting to derp foo (probably for an image). To satisfy security, had to remove all chrome extensions and reset chrome.

So I don’t use Lemmy on my work computer anymore. That’s sad.

• Hello World
• Read a file
• Write a file
• Read a file and loop through it line by line, printing each one (for loop or equivalent)
• Program that consists of 2 or more source files

What I’m getting at is instead of a full program, write code snippets and small programs. In doing this eventually an idea for something larger will pop into your head.

Same (Fira Code). And use it for my terminals as well.

DDG let’s Microsoft through the cracks.

Slackware. Fall of '93. Well over 20, 3.5" diskettes. Sacrificed my OS/2 machine to do this.

If you subscribe to a few communities, start watching the posters. Find a few posters you like, click through to their profile and see what other communities they follow for ideas.

This isn’t true in the least. Purchase a tool and look through the manual. Every section marked “danger”, “warning”, or “caution” was put in there because someone sued some company because the user or some bystander was hurt or injured.

I am not a lawyer and the implications are larger than this.

Do not post, share, trade, or otherwise make public any ChatGPT output from your sessions until you fact verify that data to the extent that you’re willing to take legal responsibility for it. In this case, especially causing a lawsuit against OpenAI. Because when that happens, you will foot the bill.

I am not a lawyer.

We’ve had decent desktop versions of Linux for 15 years and users getting upset about Windows then threatening to move elsewhere. The song remains the same.

In another 15 years they’ll want to keep a cloud based version of Windows but have it hooked into your brain. The song will remain the same.

People will complain but they’ll still use Windows. Because a crack addiction is tough to kick.

Remind me of this post in 15 years so I can say I told you so.

You’ve been scrot’ed!
