FTFY: 1000 years.

I bought and installed gallery rails in the living room. We wanted to completely re-arrange alle the framed stuff there, and I didn’t want to turn the wall into swiss cheese. The hooks I’ve bought have been a bit beefy for some things I needed to hang, so I had to put a few of them to the grinder, but all in all this made the walls very neat, and easily to rearrange later.

Do you have to break your fingers, too, to switch them off?

There are tools with which you can drive out the pins. They are only good for straight bands, not the tapered ones (unless you don’t care for the looks).

Yes, of course they have complained to the courts. That’s not the point. This simply will go nowhere, or do you expect that the court will somehow separate Activision out of Microsofts hands again to fix this? Or punish the managers at Microsoft and make them withdraw the execution plan to remove redundant jobs?

At the end of it, Microsoft will eventually pay a small, symbolic sum which they consider “cost of conducting business”. Nothing more.

As if they would care. What is the FTC going to do about it? Most likely do nothing, or issue a stern warning.

Before browsers even existed, there already was the internet. We had social media (NNTP and IRQ), online multi-user games (MUD, et al.), browsing (Gopher) and file hosting (FTP).

I was introduced to the web and the Arena browser with the words “It’s just like Gopher, but with hypertext.”

Maybe because this is (still) the more adult place?

The main product line of our company is basically all architectured and programmed by me.

Spot on.

Maybe add a 5) needs to be able to export to LaTeX. It might be nice and easy to write in typst, but you’ll sooner or later hit the wall of “We accept submissions in Word and LaTeX only.”

In case you young whippersnappers have no clue what is so special about September:

Back then, the internet (and usenet, bitnet, talk) community had been nearly 100% academic. No idiots, no stupid loudmouths, no antivax moms, no politicians. Each September was an inflow of new students accessing the net for the first time, and it was up to the existing population to educate the newbies on things like netiquette and overall good behavior. People learned to use free and open services without abusing them. Back then, those newbies were usually quick to learn, so any problem arising from people who might cause issues usually was over within a few weeks.

Then, The Flood came. The Eternal September began. The time where AOL disks were so common that people used them as coasters. The Internet and all the services on it never were the same again. The existing netizens were no longer capable to educate new users on proper, civilized behavior, and usenet posts solely consisting of text like “me too” became common. It went downhill from there. Formerly open services closed up because of unmitigated abuse. One day, even lawyers invaded the net, people despicable things like Sanford Wallace, for example. You newbies today cannot imagine a time like it was before criminals like him invaded this space.

Freshly certified like Staplerfahrer Klaus?

For those who don’t understand the language: This is the parody of an officially sponsored training/education film. The speaker is a well-known voice for a series of traffic safety videos that were shown weekly on TV in the 70s. It starts with the ceremony of handing out the forklift operator certificates, and then follows one of those nwly minted forklift operators, describing things one should not do around or with forklifts.

This so much needs English subtitles…

The article just describes the how, but gives no reasons for a why.

So, why would anyone move away from the de-facto standard bash, except for some rare circumstances like having a small system and using busybox?

Which would actually a big improvement over Reddit.

I worked with Unix before Windows was a thing. I’ve worked on windows, saw what a shitshot it was (and still is), and work with Linux instead. I do have Windows PCs at the lab for some renitent software, too, but it is always a step backwards when it comes to data procession.

That joke didn’t fly, either.

And I’m waiting until bcachefs has sufficiently spread so I can see whether it really works or not.

Depends. I do most documents in Arial and Times New Roman, as they are two of the best in legibility.

I also use DroidFonts, and some TeX-Fonts.

I just found Monaspace and I think I’ll give it a try (it is a monospace font family that does not look that much “monospacy”)
