How do you make a small fortune?

Start with a large fortune and buy a boat.

I really don't think it's the devs driving these decisions...

"This."

If the minimum wage was a comfortable living wage

like it should be, in my and many other folks' opinion

then it wouldn't matter. One person's excess isn't a problem, unless it's at the expense of someone else (which, you know, is kinda the case...).

The only flaw in Corel's logic was that as soon as you're running Linux, you lose all desire to run WordPerfect, and develop an irresistible need to align yourself with vim or emacs...

There were stories going around about how Trump claimed to have been in an emergency helicopter landing with Willie Brown, the (Black) former mayor of San Francisco. Willie Brown denied this.

So...I actually think the headline makes sense, and is kinda funny, but the context is definitely important

Trump confuses a short Black politician from SF with a tall Black politician from LA.

...unless it's an N64 controller, and you just got blueshell'd in Mario Kart/Oddjob'd in GoldenEye, in which case that's perfectly normal behavior

"Over the last 3–4 months, we have observed that CPUs initially working well deteriorate over time, eventually failing," he claims. "The failure rate we have observed from our own testing is nearly 100%, indicating it's only a matter of time before affected CPUs fail."

Not used to seeing significant age-related degradation in silicon used under normal conditions. Sounds like Intel dun goofed...

Is there any consensus as to the internal organs/stuff which maybe doesn't fossilize well? Like, did they just evolve a bitchin' chassis but they're constantly tinkering with the internal bits?

Is there a commonly accepted reason why Microsoft makes these big releases so different?

AFAIK macOS has relatively minor changes, in terms of UI/UX, from release to release (look at screenshots of the original OS X vs. the current macOS version). And Linux is entirely dependent on distro, but for me it's just "has i3wm changed drastically? No? Great!"

My guess is that Windows just does it because they need folks to upgrade, and that's the only tool they have to force people's hands...

It could be fun to implement this under *NIX for fun

cronjob to take screenshots, some OCR, throw it in a database...I'd never want to use this "feature" but as an academic exercise it could be a fun project.

But having it implemented by my OS, and not by me...yikes. No thanks.

macOS is UNIX. If your workflow is heavy on the command line, it feels pretty similar to Linux, which is no surprise. The userspace is definitely different (it's not GNU) but if you ssh into a macOS box, you should feel pretty much at home.

I feel like a lot of these flame wars are basically just "I like Y GUI better." Which is one of the great things about Linux of course, that I can run i3 and you can run Plasma. For me, having a more-or-less unified (command line) interface across my Linux laptop, my various home lab SBCs, my VPS, and my work laptop is pretty nice.

(And yes. I would much, much, much prefer i3 to yabai on macOS.)
