What about 2FA, and banking apps, and banks’ payment apps? At least in Yurop they require a “safe” / “uncompromised” OS. Oh the irony! But that is why I am still unrooted.

Likely, but you did not let poor code pass. That is valuable.

And is this stolen robot body in the room with you now?

I run Mattermost at home since several years, and now I am switching to Zulip.

Mattermost is also enshittifying itself and imposing limits like those that caused us to flee from Slack.

Zulip is (afaik) true FOSS without venture capital, and has no restrictions. It’s what we should habe done from the start.

Yeah but we pay way less for housing and health.

I see myself as a project manager and executive producer. I know I don’t write that code, and I couldn’t even if I tried.

But I am skilled at directing and verifying, and this has allowed me to create (not code) a fairly complex WordPress plugin for course bookings with online card payment processing etc.

I have made a few manual tweaks here and there but that code is 98% Claude. And you know what? It works. That is good enough for me.

You are ice cold metal, my friend 🤘

Unpopular opinion: LCARS is utter garbage UI.

Sure it looks cool in the TV series, and its brand recognition is spectacular. But actually using it? Horrible.

Then use… a camera??

Also depends on how you phrase the question to the LLM, and whether it har access to source files.

A web chat session can’t do a lot, but an interactive shell like Claude Code is amazing - if you know how to work it.

In light of recent events, other countries should drag Trump to the ICC and thence straight to the gallows.

Imagine being so much snowflake that a simple font upsets you. Words fail.

As if I needed any more reasons to never set foot in that wannabe dictatorship.

Muricans, fix your shit.

WinME was just Win98 with a paint job. And as Win98 was, it was pretty decent.

(WinXP was my personal favourite)

So, Windows 11 then, right?

Just use Notepad++ instead?

If only it were mentioned in some article or something…

You clearly didn’t even look at the article. It’s literally the first point they made.

The articles I saw mentioned that it would be fixed in software.

I work in the software industry and I have a guess regarding what the might do to “fix” the problem.

First, we look for the cause, but in this case it is external: we can’t prevent solar flares. So we will turn to mitigation instead:

Data gets flaky and erratic unter radiation, so what we would do is to double- and triple-check the data bits. By adding more levels of data correction, more bits can be wrong and we can still figure what it was supposed to be.

Adding more corrections means more overhead and slower performance, but it can still be made to work within the given constraints of real-time processing. They will need to find a balance between hardening and usefulness.
