  • Yeah… I used to sell Apple gear.

    When Apple announced the Mighty mouse 20 years ago, everyone was super excited. There wasn’t much info, and we were almost wondering if it was a touch sensitive button on it.

    What we got though was a mouse which gave you RSI any time you clicked the right button.

    Now, I have a Mac Studio. Every PC has the power button on the top or front. This guy? Nah, lets put it on the back! And the M2 is a professional machine, so lets ship with 8GB ram only… And MAKE IT SHARED VIDEO MEMORY!

    And lets stick an ARM chip with no raytracing on it, because thats what people crave


  • Abuses everyone he disagrees with (including his own teachers)… Reminds me of someone I know (rhymes with Dump).

    Also, did someone on Fox News happen to use the word “dunce” recently. 2 years you guys were calling everyone “snowflakes” or whatever… and it seems like now, you guys have started using this word

    People like you will either always vote right wing (and lie), or sit on the fence and find problems with EVERY candidate so you don’t need to make a decision (because you like abusing people, and you’ll ultimately find problems with every candidate).

    Stop gaslighting everyone. They’re not the same. The fact that you think a convicted rapist/tax cheat/person who incites violence directly, is exactly the same as someone who helped convict people like him, i’d argue is why your professor probably doesn’t like you either (and probably graded you as such).





  • I also learned how to program at 13 in my free time

    I didn’t ignore any subjects in school. In fact, I actually did well in high school…

    But I’m sure people will try to look at my life and try to make thousands of different excuses to explain that, especially if I founded Microsoft. But it was just because I enjoyed programming and worked hard too.(Like I spent days copying coffee from a basic book for a game)


  • Ie wasn’t even a factor until years later. There was no compelling reason to use anything other than ie until Firefox (to end users, Netscape and Mozilla was comparable to ie). It had no impact on the initial success of Windows. Netware failed because it was crap compared to windows 95 too. Their competitors simply didn’t compare to windows 95. That’s not bullying. They were too busy competing with windows 3.1

    Windows 95 wasn’t that unstable either. Maybe you had bad ram in your system or bad drivers . Sure the NT kernel was better, but Windows 95 was perfectly usable and was used. It did crash. But it wasn’t a regular thing. You’re acting like it happened daily.

    Osx was only released in 2001 and macos required Apple hardware Windows 95 succeeded because it actually worked and had broad hardware support

    You keep talking about IE, but Windows was successful before most people had the Internet. Internet explorer only became anti monopoly consideration because Windows had already managed to be

    Also, how do you expect people to respond when you disrespect them and make assumptions about their experience and age to try to add credibility to your argument at their expense? If you don’t know how old I am, don’t assume I’m young. I’m not . And fyi, one of my projects was mentioned in Linux format 20 years ago, so don’t assume I wasn’t heavy into Linux either

    Our first family computer was a 8086.

    So don’t speak on behalf of me please, or make assumptions

    Explain your answer.

    To literally anyone at that time, Windows 95 was a game changer. It brought many things including proper plug and play, and less screwing with autoexec.bat

    The competition was Apple. Apple started going bankrupt because of this. Bill was a coder from 13 years old. They weren’t a monopoly until much later.

    He was going to be successful regardless. His initial fortune was from Windows 95 which sold 7 million copies in 5 weeks

    Well. You’re making the claim, let’s see the receipts. They pay their workers well, I haven’t heard any evidence they get treated like slaves like bezos

    I knew I’d get downvoted but Lemmy people, but I’ve heard no evidence otherwise.

    Bill got rich because of windows 95, and it was a really good product.

    He made a lot of his riches before the Internet and before IE

    Also, I did try early Debian back in those days, and Linux simply was unusable for consumers back then.


  • Simple game theory

    Harris: +1. Because she actually is a good person. The only people saying anything else are Republicans really . Don’t forget she used to fight for sexual assault victims and such (look at her past actions). Walz is just as good as a person

    Trump: -1: no explanation needed

    Anyone else: 0 points

    It’s only logical to vote for Harris/Walz. Unless you actually believe trump . But, if you use the arguments Trump has used against Biden and Harris, you’ll see all of them work equally well on him. He is sleepy, he is old, and he is a criminal



  • I actually operate an indoor rock climbing group and didn’t even realise how many of them were gay until years of climbing with them. 2 of them I’m still not sure. 1 of them I only figured it out because they had a climbing shirt on with a lgbtiq climbing community logo on it (and they actually operate that organisation)

    The hilarious part of the whole thing is that they spent years trying to trigger libs. But ultimately online, they’ve managed to create their own self sustaining trigger circle that mainly affects them. That they use to accumulate their whining. Whereas the rest of us now just see them as crazies.

    That doesn’t mean there are people on the left who aren’t crazy. But, that seems confined online. Whereas the right often seem to extend it offline because many seemingly don’t know the difference between reality and conspiracy theories anymore

    One thing you’ll notice about the right wing is that so many of them have a huge number of comments. Probably because most of them I suspect are retirees who jerked around during high school. It’s easy to comment when there is no attempt at supporting evidence
