Are you sure that the changes is not so much the software but just your perception? I mean I am not at all stating you are wrong, but you have to factor in that generally when people get older they look more into familiarity versus functionality. The younger generation is willing to try out new things while the older generation would prefer to know how to do things as they were done before. The reason why I state this is because I am still noticing an increase of capabilities of software/OSs over time and I remember that even back in the late 90s early 2000s there was still bugs and issues with new releases. That and being able to "do more" lead to more bugs and bloat, regardless of back then or nowadays.
The whole ad blocking is up for debate as it does prevent the publishers from receiving revenue, but ads have become malicious and extremely annoying. I do use ad blockers except I turn it off on some sites to show support. But this is just wrong, because instead of giving the publishers revenue for the ads that they post, the browser will inject their own ads to moreso benefit "brave" and the users. If you are down to viewing ads, you might as well help out who ever publishes it instead of this. Sigh, not to mention this reminds me of the whole "pay to surf" era back in the late 90s.
Opera originally had it's own web engine "Presto", but that changed after version 12. They migrated to Chromium which had webkit, and now blink. Kind of a shame too because Presto was a good engine for most sites, and one of the best (if not the best) in regards to web standards at the time.
Does it include pascal? If so, then maybe i should look into it and finally make that IGM for L.O.R.D., I was planning on doing 19 years ago... better late then never i guess
Makes sense, There is still a market for flash production, so why drop it. It will be similar to the likes of Office still supporting the pre-2007 format for their documents.
I really wish Adobe Air would just cease to exist, I am sick of the pop-ups to update, even though I can't on the business computer.
Pirate bay just raised the bar... I can't wait to see the media companies and governments reaction. Guess I should grab some popcorn, this is going to be entertaining... in both ways.
the numbers might be "meaningless" in your view, but they are still numbers if the user is using the OS. It's like saying that majority of the Android 6.0 numbers are meaningless because those users are forced to upgrade. These numbers are actually much more accurate than websites that spout how many users they have (think facebook) when there's a good chunk of the accounts are actually dormant.
Something about 'online' password managers really irks me. I've tried lastpass before but didn't really trust it and the plugins became more annoying than useful. So, I switched to keepass and just sync that file on my cloud storage. It's much easier to manage imo and I can use it both on my android and my computer for free.
Yeah i've used Dosbox to run old games and virtualbox too. Virtualbox sucks in regard to Windows 9x, that's why I switched to VMware. Anyway, it's like playing NES games on the computer, it's the same, but not the same vs using a real NES console. Also, for some reason I can never got Mechwarriors 2 Mercenaries to work via virtualization.
i'm surprised a seagate drive lasted that long... but i'm guessing they were actually good drives back in the 90s. It is a shame that they are retiring the computer just due to a hard drive error.
Kind of wish I still had a late 90s computer to run windows 98 and play some old games. Emulation is there, but it's not the same.
Slashdot Mirror
Well, im sure there was other candidates besides those two
I mostly blame it on people voting strictly based on party and not the actual candidate... The biggest issue with voting imo.

unless you lose it when you use it, like cash.... "Payment please" (busts out a cheese grater)
Unless you're a farmer

Well their youtube propaganda channel (uriminzokkiri) is still uploading videos. I wonder if a foreigner in North Korea can view it...
They did go to John McAfee for help!
Please oh please let there be a news release stating that the FBI went to John McAfee to unlock it...
Okay, but how does make it less than forcing air, dust, dandruff, etc from surroundings into it via a fan? I never said it wouldn't collect ANY dust.
It would probably perform better than a normal computer because there's no fans sucking in dust?
I think it's more "The Republican Establishment terrorized themselves resulting in Donald Trump becoming a party nominee"
Email, Finance, and Tumblr I figure

Adobe? nah, but wondering that now with Google and Facebook
Sad to say I just re-read it and now realized what you were saying and i failed... i'm going to go be emo in the corner now...
well, you can't drink the water out of the ocean... No not sure what good it is stealing it.
but can you be sued just for "visiting" a website?
