  • Practice good hygiene and it’ll be fine The trouble is that modern apps are forced to adopt features which depend on the new OS. Your old one will be incompatible, on purpose

    The security aspect is secondary to the monetary growth and recuperation of investment in the new OS.

    They spent all those monies to make it “AI” betting that you will eat it up and pay up. Now there will be significant pressure for them to “increase adoption” or someone gets fired






  • I remember it being pretty incredible that there were other users out there I could talk to. I had heard about email and I got an address! I didn’t know anyone to email, but I had an address! Chat was amazing. BBS systems offered text games, like LORD - which also took things to a new level. Participation in discussion forums on BBSes and AOL led me to forums on the Web. At school we used to use gopher but the www was more fun (if you could see past the construction sign graphics) and you could always see the hit counters and guestbook links on most pages. Then the construction signs got more sophisticated and animated😀 The early-mid-90s Internet was glorious. Google showed up after Yahoo was too littered with ads… Some guys in college made a search engine that prioritized speed - dreadfully important at analog speeds…

    Even now, while we’re trying to work out her plan to leave, and how to tell our 6 year old that we hope that just before his birthday the apartment will become available. The current estimate says 3 days before.

    Imagine being 6, at a "party"surrounded by your friends, and how it will feel that your parents both want to be there, and also don’t want to both be there when you get home.

    But our current situation creates fights. Neither Mom or Dad are getting what they need from each other. I can’t help but feel it’s a selfish attitude and choice - but it also isn’t

    If only I’d been more selfish earlier I could’ve avoided it all
