These articles, over and over again, are what have made Hacker News one of my regular go tos for amazing ideas and creative ingenuity.

Wow. This is the golden age for classic Macs.

Yes, I think people who move away from Substack already need to have a brand and a number of followers to drive people to their personal websites, even if they use Ghost. And I do …

Interesting. I've never quite found that Linux is more optimized on battery-powered machines for energy savings, even though supposedly there is a lot of room to tweak and optimize…

Wow. Just wow, I will give this a run on my old iMac G4 later today. Very cool to see this progress, and I am a big fan of NetSurf.

So grateful for all of the dedicated coders and hackers in this space to keep our old Macs relevant and useable. PowerFox has tweaks especially for Leopard and Snow Leopard and Mac…

I love these books. I would like to own every single one of them, as crystallizations of a moment. But let's be real -- some of these books are trash.

This story remains pertinent. Can we imagine a world where we can question everything? Where we have the means to do so? The Lottery parallels plenty of other works - of the banali…

One of my favorite things to do is update the firmware of devices. I know it is often ill-advised because if it is working fine, why risk something going wrong? But it’s kind of fu…

I may buy a Neo just to do this. Intrigued.

I like Dillo, and I like this project. I have tinkered with Gemini on occasion, and while there are stubborn adherents, it’s not super intuitive to use. Not sure why it can’t be be…

This is deeply disturbing. The terrible, incoherent messaging and strategy around the Iran war (unapproved by Congress) is connected. This is an administration that is seeking less…

Thank God human beings who spend money on these resources are left to fend for themselves. Imagine if we spent good money on a flight, and now the company winds down its operations…

I am so grateful for this announcement. In a time when gas prices are high, Spirit should be the kind of capitalist example that dominates. Instead, it goes bankrupt despite the Pr…

If you are a tech guy and working with drones or any AI company that has even a bare relationship to some security firm, you have a few options: 1 - Immediately share all informati…

I notice they are sold out at MicroCenter - I was hoping to go look at one in person today.

This is why I come to this site. Some of the tech stuff goes over my head and limited skills, but this article was insightful and still so relevant. It probably applies to non-prof…

I don't like to paint Apple as being completely incompetent (but damn have they been screwing stuff up), but I do think trying to solidify the experiences around a common codebase …

I am a diehard Apple fan. I stuck with Apple through the dreadful 90s and fought for their relevance as a needed computing alternative in education spaces. I extolled their virtues…

I love the idea of this... but here is what I want - IT SHOULD WORK WITH EVERY HARDWARE PERMUTATION KNOWN TO EXISTENCE. If not... combine your energy with Fedora.

I’ve been waiting for this post. I run OS 9 on my lamp iMac G4 but now I want to try 7.6.1!

This looks like an advertisement for a new season of Severance or something. The image on this page is wild: https://radiant.computer/principles/ Of course, I am intrigued by open …
