Please don’t implement the text version of OpenTTD

With Meta it very much looks like overhiring. What are those 8000 workers even doing, designing CSS for each individual ad on Facebook?

Samsung pretty much controls Android market, Google is afraid to fart sideways in their presence.

You can publish your open source app on Google Play, and this will not change. Google is also not planning to introduce $100/year publishing fee for devs like Apple, you pay $25 one time to register. There is also no real alternative open source OS for phones.

Google decision impacts apps like Termux, who use old Android API to install additional packages. If you are not planning to create Linux emulator, I guess this won’t impact you.

Do new phones still refuse to run old apps?

“Eh, they can recover from yesterday,” he said, referring to daily database backups.

But did they recover from backups? Don’t leave the most juicy intrigue out of the story.

Most web browsers will have a hard limit on WASM apps that will be around 200-300 MB of binary size, and your RAM will be limited too.

Try opening a full-featured WASM game on iPad and weep.

SDL provides you a framebuffer with 640x480 pixels and 24-bit color, with a delicious pixel-perfect 8x12 monospace font, on every OS and every device, and this is everything you will ever need. Titlebar? Close button? Your app is perfect, it needs no close button. It will be running 24/7 in a fullscreen mode, and the user will be happy! Other apps? Pah! Let them run on a second, smaller monitor!

Active radar on the border I suppose. And I guess it’s more for assisted geolocation with GPS jammed than to send commands to change course.

Try saying Tibet on a bus stop, and watch your ass getting hauled to the nearest police station in like 30 seconds.

It comes with a copy of Internet Explorer, and a copy of MS-DOS.

I’m not falling asleep, my laptop is falling asleep.

The problem is that it never wakes up. The solution is to disable every low-power option in system settings, and pretend that my laptop is very critical server, because Debian is made for servers.

I grieved when I bought a used laptop with Windows pre-installed. I immediately performed a ritual of Debian purification.

Windows, or any other corporate MICROS~1 product dying is a cause for celebration.

That folding ruler is the only thing preventing the door to shut close and trap you in the vault forever.

I guess you can drill a bigger hole in the wall to escape.

99% of all modern games won’t even start

Wow cool, gonna try it.

Discomfort with new modem technology shapes frustration as no modern terminal application has ZModem support.

Well, basically, Bluetooth chip is expensive, especially for older Bluetooth standard. It’s cheaper to have one headphone to receive Bluetooth data and transfer it to the other headphone using some dumb RF protocol, maybe even scrambled FM.
