I remember when iTunes was called SoundJam MP and that was much nicer than iTunes. I still miss its eclipse visualizer.

Hopefully this works out better than the time they made iTunes for Windows

Just write a bash script to loop over them.

Nation-states were a stupid idea to begin with

I think it has more to do with maintaining a manufacturing base for defense than it is about jobs or the economy.

I was a teenager who wanted to be a 1337 haxxor so I found out what warez were, and then wanted to play a bunch of games for free.

This is part one of enshittification: You give your service away to get users, and cater to their wishes. Then once they’re hooked you can do whatever you want because they can’t leave.

Just more technofeudalism from a technofeudalist.

I remember those days. Except back then you had the added challenge of finding space for it on your 1.2GB hard drive

I’ve worked for a couple startups and you’re absolutely right. If you make a profit you pay taxes on that money, so startups like to spend most of the money they bring in. They also want to show revenue growth, since that’s what investors like to see. You grow revenue by getting more paying customers. And you do that by doing what your customers want.

Only color laser printers put those yellow dots on paper. The black and white ones don’t because they can’t: They don’t have yellow toner.

So get a black and white printer and you’ll be fine.

80% of my work is on websites, and the other 20% is in a text editor or terminal. As long as I could map my old keyboard shortcuts I don’t see why not.

Three day special bridge rebuilding operation

That’s not entirely true. I’ve been a Mac user since 1989 and I also recommend Brother laser printers

I thought this Thursday felt particularly irrational
