With the same logic, Microsoft’s dominance also helps the user in not having to choose between multiple types of systems.

The browser were set to report a different OS, the few bank terminals still running OS/2, a few industrial PCs still running MS-DOS, etc.

Fair point, at least they should give us two USB-C ports, at least on the flagship models.

Best if you get one of those USB DACs. Those even work on a PC with a converter.

And then you can sell USB-C -> Jack converters (which break after a while - I’ve dismantled one for recycling for my Raspberry Pi, later I might make one epoxy potted for my phone), easy to lose wireless earbuds, etc.

Headphone jacks can be waterproofed, manufacturers are just lazy.

Phones are so thin now that people are crying back the thicker ones…

Someone should saw off the legs of the techbros that came up with the idea of removing the headphone jacks from phones. Just like the headphone jacks, legs are technologically “superseeded” by cars and electronic wheelchairs.

Now we need games for other drugs.

Cokeopoly. Meth chess. Heroin pong. Weed go.

Actual monitor is from what I’ve heard, rather underwhelming, and you need to turn off cleartype on this due to the top screen being flipped (and it also has like a single frame delay).

This XML parser of mine uses safe by default.

Pointers are not guaranteed to be safe. DIP1000 was supposed to solve the issue of a pointer referencing to a now expired variable (see example below), but it’s being replaced by something else instead.

int* p;
{
  int q = 42;
  p = &q;
}
writeln(*p);     //ERROR: This will cause memory leakage, due to q no longer existing

With an even more generic art direction.

D has many memory safety features. For local variables, one should use pointers, otherwise ref does references that are guaranteed to be valid to their lifetime, and thus have said limitations.

That’s why I often recommend D instead.

Has a much more C-style syntax, except much more refined from the years of hindsight. The catch? No corporate backing, didn’t jump on the “immutable by default” trend when functional programming evangelists said for loops are a bad practice and instead we should just write recursive functions as a workaround, memory safety is opt-in (although “safe by default” can be done by starting your files with @safe:), some of the lead devs are “naive centrists” who want to “give everyone a chance at coding even if they’re bad people (nazis)”, implementing new changes to the lang has slowed down significantly up until the departure of Adam D Ruppe and the drama surrounding it, etc.

Where’s the Stör? Or whatever it was called.

Now we’re getting ready for the vegan cat food memes.

Just make it look uncool! Cigarettes’ image went from “cool” to “I’m 12 and I want to be taken seriously by mom/oh my god why did I even tried it”. From “hip” vaping, where should it’s image go? (Besides down the drain)

I’m very sad about kbin, I eve told Ernest that I’d volunteer with some admin work and potentially code (even if I despise PHP), but he declined, even when his health went really bad.

Go in all on it, make PirateSoftware pay for his sin of making an indie live service.
