They were great, probably put most of their profits into running a very fast FTP site.

As long as you’re doing it in a VM might as well try the MacOS version. IIRC the OS screen scaling and apples requirements that everything have vector or MIB mapped icons makes for a much nicer experience.

I don’t know if it works on a VM… just fondly remember using the apps on my MacBook 😅

That’s terrible! They helped me fix my system when I decided I was fancy enough to try building a new version of gcc and go off-script a bit.

IIRC I deleted library.so rather that overwriting it. If I hadn’t been running IRC on another terminal already I would have been done for.

PRESS ALT+F4 for ops! 😂

OMG… the showmanship…

The days before Walnut Creak CD-ROM :-) Waiting for FIDO.NET to be synced at midnight… I think that’s what it was called… shit’s getting hazy.

I desperately wanted one of those first BeBoxes or whatever they were called. And one of those little SGI toasters… I even tried to compile SGI’s 3D file manager (demo) from Jurassic Park.

Herp derp… where can I download an OpenGL from… it keeps saying I can’t build it without one 🤤

For that, I’ll spin up a copy…

Holly crap I got lazy. Perfect ;-)

OMG… BOFH! I need to go find those stories now :-)

Spent a week getting the audio driver to work so I could finally figure out how to properly pronounce “Linux…” and I still couldn’t.

Spent like $50 on floppy disks and like 2 days labeling them by hand before printing out the 20 pages of instructions, formatting my hard drive and installing Slackware. Realized I didn’t actually know any unix commands. Paged a friend.

I mean… you know they sold out to Aussie-Adobe like 4 years ago right?

They are currently strip-mining the code so they can learn how to write an application that isn’t an instagram filter tacked onto MS paint… I just made that last part up, hopefully they do something good… but I assume they acquired Serif for the sake of IP protection and not because they were hoping to develop it further. I haven’t seen anything innovative happen for the last few years at least.

K-9 from the new Dr. Who 😂

I also love cheese! Hard cheeses for a hard journey!

A) Because they suffer from some kind of weird delusion that they will some day gain mote than single digit market share and then subsequently lose it because somebody hacked your grandmother‘s computer with a YouTube video that was running in full screen?

B) They are the worlds laziest coders and google paid them 20M a year to do nothing for… however many years it’s been.

Yeah, nice to see a smile 😂

Well la-de-da… everyone look at me… I know soap isn’t edible.

Well some of us didn’t go to fancy schools… with… food.

That’s basically what my Wera tools from amazon look like! Some asshole was like “Hey China, can I get a full set of impact rated tools with something vaguely germanic stamped on the outside?”

China: “Do you want us to put ‘impact rated’ on the box?”

Asshole: “Nah… that’s going to fuck our profit margin up.”

Ahhhh I was kinda wondering why there was an educational advent calendar 😅

LOL looks like a German advent calendar, not even a book!

Fake news!

It’s easier to ingest than the way I speak ;-)

Just griping a bit about what’s probably more of a design/branding change than anything.

I think fakespot is promising tech that we desperately need more of.

Can’t hurt to have it in their hands, hope to see more server resources ;-)
