History was invented by Universal and MGM. According to Universal. Others (Paramount) claim it was invented by Paramount.

You’re not calling out anyone here. That has happened elsewhere. You’re nothing but gossiping about it. You’re not the defenders of anything but spiteful, ugly people.

I miss the days when the OS community found -often painful- ways to deal with excentric or even toxic and erratic developers. That definitely had more class than conformist mobs celebrating each character assassination of somebody disagreeing. Not that I’d support any anti-vax bullshit or bigotry, I just dislike mobs of holier-than-thous. Because they aren’t holy or as “good” as they think they are. IMO they’re just the sort of people waiting for a reason to get their torches and pitchforks. I don’t think that’s any better, morally, or less intolerant than having unhinged opinions.

But not a quality audience.

Did you mean weird ass-reason? (credits to xkcd)

Sure, but expectig turn-key solutions from the end- and contentless rows of self-help guides isn’t quite effective unless you hit the one in a dozen that actually was written with the intent of being helpful instead of making easy money from other peoples troubles. And the OP seemed to point into that direction.

The real “self-help secret” is “self” and hardly a secret. It’s the first bloody word in “self-help”. The real problem is that people event want someone else to do their self-help for them. The second problem is that they don’t even see the fucking paradox in it. Thinking is hard. Let’s go shopping…

Obsolete. My watch and my two clocks are radio controlled, the computers are synced by NTP. I even run a NTP-pool node.

As a design engineer you don’t have CAD software that can predict shading? It’s a pretty trivial function, actually. Also, you should know the procedure to construct proper shadows, but sure, that takes a lot more time than having them done by CAD.

People certainly enjoy to learn how things work, even on the console. They don’t enjoy working around rocks a hostile OS throws in their way to line Microshit’s pockets. Because it is a lost battle, knowing your workaround will only work for so long until Microsoft will find a better way to sabotage you on your own computer. You need to be completely insane to enjoy this shitl. And a complete asshole to comment based on assumptions and allegations like this in an arrogant tone that tries to hide the hollow incompetence that’s behind it.

Don’t trust ars one inch as soon as they’re getting political. They’re highly manipulative.

Ars technica is full of shit, too, as soon they’re even slightly off the tech trail. Even while on the tech trail they’re massively untrustworthy as soon as their owners’ interests are involved. I’ve kicked them out of my RSS reader long ago. If they really got something exciting I’ll get to know via slashdot, mastodon or feddit. Still I’m suspicious as I at least one time caught them intentionally spreading false information.

How they got it to give them all 5 toes.

Have you taken a closer look?

The Sandschneidemaschinenmechanikermeister will take care of that.

Schutt up and eat your zand. Do not force me to go for ze Labskaus!
