I dabbled in gopher, but did a lot more in ftpsace and netnews than gopher. It grew and died in a very short timespan. I started my first professional webserver 93 or 94 or so, the EMWAC webserver on a DEC Alpha running WinNT 4.0
I did install and run an oddball Mac gopher client that for some reason used 3d rendering for pages and gopher daemons. Was cool, i played for like an hour, and then never ran it again.
The base browser on BlackBerry used webkit. But it was so painful for many reasons - how you zoomed, how you got pages, how you dealt with tabs. It was very painful
Now when people have more data in the cloud and less on their phone, i don't think we really need a dock. It's a nice to have, i guess, but id never use it - bringing a dock someplace i might as well have a laptop.
I was a hard core Google Voice user years ago. I did all the pain in the ass mapping for the special numbers and such on my work blackberry - contacts needed a special number to come up as the google voice number, but i still had to use the work phone, so the normal numbers.. yikes, all that work...
I ported out my number years ago. It just wasn't worth it. The clunkiness and compromises aren't worth it. Messages/iMessage across idevices kind of sealed it for me. I can't imagine moving back.
Medical records and other official records need to come over fax. Email isn't thought of as being secure. Fax is point to point.
So you're saying anyone needing to talk to a doctor, meaning someone more likely than not sick, should suffer more. I hope that's not intentional and you just didn't fully thing of the consequences.
Chrome and Edge the hardest, safari a bit less secure, Firefox at the bottom. at least they're in the competition - they used to be so insecure as to not worth being in the competition
Yeah, i want TRRS. I can see why a manufacturer wouldn't bother - Im now segmenting Apple vs. Android. But the whole point for me is the controls are on my wire already, now you want me to dig in my pocket for something to fiddle with?
Nope. There's a billion of those on Amazon that do NOT do logic from the headphone cord. If it doesn't have versions for Apple vs. Android, then it doesn't do 4 conductor/TRRS, then it's not what im asking.
A small rechargeable Bluetooth device that takes headphones with 4 conductors (TRRS) and then translates pushes on the inline controller as bluetooth commands. I've not seen one that does the bluetooth commands... just audio. Will go a long way to make the bluetooth translation less painful.
And I just found out, that there is no standard for TRRS, that there are two ways of interpreting that extra conductor and they are incompatible. Motherf**ker. So now we need one for apple one for android... or have a switch that swaps how they're interpreted. Bonus points if apple makes one and it has a W1 chip.
Bitcoin is controlled by a bunch of miners in china. why were they "chosen"? Because they have connections with the government and essentially get electricity for free.
Bitcoin is not free, but controlled by mining costs, meaning it's controlled by who gets the best deals from whoever controls electricity. Power goes not to the people, but is now given by the people who control (electrical) power. Not the utopia people hoped for.
Though i agree with your title 100%, there's another thing it does and that's act as a store of wealth. People confuse an appreciating currency as one spectacularly storing wealth. They are confused.
Having an appreciating store of wealth is actually very bad for a currency. People don't spend money, they hoard it to let it appreciate. Hoarding instead of spending and keeping the economy flowing is pretty much the exact opposite of what you want.
Or they can use CentOS on 90% of hosts, and if there's a bug, triage on their 10% redhat servers, get the bug fixed, and it works its way through centos.
There is a subset of current life where you can't do much without giving personal info out. So, you're saying even the people who grudgingly give out this data because they need to participate in a world with a few rules they don't like but overall its a service they need should be screwed as well.
This is why snapchat grew so well. It's a horrible UI, and the initial usage was to perv out, but lots of people use it for the fact that certain things they do should have a shelf life. You're saying everyone who did anything before snapchat should be punished.
Umm, that's the way it's been for years.... You should have thought of "the way people are paid suck and will kill us down the road" before opening the third office.

:) I remember that one. Sadly, because I posted, no mod points...

My wife would kick my ass.
The web wasn't a thing in 93. The Internet was definitely a thing,
simtel. wuarchive. sumex-aim. sunsite. All the big ftp sites, and searches were Archie. That and netnews. alt.barney.dinosaur.die.die.die
The Stevens Networking book is still up on the list, I'm very glad.
I remember a story about him and his kid. They went to go to Wayne's World 2, and in the movie they show his book. His son, "dad you're so cool, that's your book". Yes, you were cool. RIP....
Bookmarks, incognito mode, a bunch of UI things.

More than a better UI.
Microsoft tried to port the Windows experience to a phone. failed miserably.
With windows 8 they tried the opposite approach. Port a phone UI to a desktop. also failed miserably.
The UI goes deep. it's not just menu typeface. APple understood what navigating a small touchscreen should be.

Not sure of this "award"
Best for A - some distro
Best for B - some distro
Best for C - some distro
Best for Enterprise, mention one distro possibly gaining ground on another... Confusing

Yeah. Birkenstock granola craigslist killed newspaper journalism. Umm, Yay?
The bills were there. They didn't want to create the fund to pay it. It's not new debt.
Debt is fine when a republican creates it. Didn't Cheney say "Reagan proved deficits don't matter". They get tight under democrats.
