On the Atari ST we had a boot sector virus that inverted the mouse Y-axis after some random time. So annoying.

If you liked that and you haven't read it yet, give "Dragon's Egg" by Robert L. Forward a read.

At least SFOS has been a viable daily driver since 2013, so there's that. And SFOS can also run natively like on the PinePhone.

I can also chip in, fully agree with Aachen. (and I've also made apps for things I'm missing on SFOS (Pushover client, Bluesky client), so Hi5!)

My eyes want a 19" laptop these days.

That's what I love running Android apps in Sailfish OS. I can just take these screenshots. Then again, this is also what makes me almost throw my Android phone against the wall whe…

The AI Challenges were so cool and I had hoped there would be more of them. A "humbling experience" is definitely the right choice of words. I did some minor work on a PoC for the …

Well, the blog post is 14 years old. It's an interesting showcase in how we (or at least I) assumed what the lifecycle of hyperlinks would be. (My assumption was they would perhaps…

There's some minor issues with the blog post though that don't make it entirely correct Genetic Programming as written by Koza's. I'd have to dive into it again but I think it was …

And explains so much!

I never understood why he went back to Russia.

Yes, as long as said autocrats spent billions to undermine it ;-)

I would even go so far (as I recently said on Mastodon) that nowadays using Aurora over the Google Play Store is safer since it doesn't display ads for other apps just above the se…

Not to mention the comic is pretty good as well!

Yes, but that's intergalactic space not interstellar space. We've not even begun exploring the latter :-)

Not only does the superior ESDF have tactile feedback (because of the nub on the F key) but you also get an extra column of keys (QAZ) on the left!

I'm going to react to the OP through your post. > The interview Dawkins had with the Indian metaphysician (I forgot the name) made me realize how blinded Dawkins is by his material…

Seems like a waste of time to spend decades of study on yet another D&D setting.

I wonder how well the crank works for left handed people.

I hold no love for Apple but the phone I used the longest was my iPhone 3GS. I think 5 years or so but only because it was jailbroken. (Thanks saurik!) Otherwise it would have been…
