I separate what is written from what people and government entities actually do; though I suppose it is true that it has been successfully altered based on hysteria in the past. Thankfully, it didn't last long in the grand scheme of things, but that's not how it would go down today if that...

That's why people are ignorant nowadays. If they'd PAY ATTENTION for more than five seconds, they'd be able to think properly, and wouldn't fuck up industries like a bunch of air-headed fools without actually knowing why it happened or why they even did it in the first place. A tweet is not...

The pedants of society maintain clarity of language for those who would see it destroyed in sloth and apathy. Without us, you wouldn't be able to understand a single word anyone said in English, nowadays. Even the language use in "Idiocracy" would seem tame in comparison. Be thankful we...

"App" is a slang term for "applet", which is a modification of "application", used to differentiate what people would consider traditional computer program (software) applications (applying a computer program) from emerging concepts such as world wide web Java applets. This is rather like the...

No. Square is a computer program and a financial service; not an app. An "app" is a miniaturized Java computer program operating within another; to put it as simply as humanly possible. It's a slang term for "applet", which refers to the nature of a Java program's application. You use FAR...

Square has almost eliminated every cash-only issue in this area. It was shocking how fast they grew in general, but damn did they spread like wildfire in rural environments. It all seemed cheap at first, but they upped their game as needed. The way I figure it, if those people can make it...

I mean, sure. Syncing them could be useful, if it's a non-maintenance intensive task. I would expect something like Square should offer export functionality. I don't want to add complication to increase simplicity, though. Either it works right every time and it's useful or it's just a...

I would expect such a developer to respond to immediate need within the enterprise space. That doesn't surprise me. Efficiency drives that industry. Every tenth of a second that a user or system is not doing something new is money left on the table. At that point you don't have a mere...

That 386, and indeed the 1981 5150 I do most of my writing on only do what I tell them. From a business perspective, it's just a glorified calculator and a type-writer with full editing capacity. I have control of everything, the software works properly and forever, and the platforms were...

That's no different than the first time Microsoft installed a traffic cam. Enterprise users pay the subscription for that level of support, and everyone else enjoys the software "base model". Nothing has changed, and yet everything has changed. Now you're paying more and you have less...

What? You got an Android phone? Think that's okay, do you? I don't care what's feeding who, and I'm not the one that needs evolving. Everyone was fed just fine before, and will be fed just fine by the same thing with additional services; not tearing things apart that work just fine without...

I can sit your butt down right in front of the 386 here and you'd be just fine with general office work. Standalone shown. There is enough money in it to build an entire god damned industry, man. That's how we got here in the first place. Not everything needs to be constantly tailored...

Any single result in a randomized binary sequence is irrelevant. You have no valid point. Installing new sensors would either solve a problem or it would not. The "a" is important. You do not know what problem will or will not be solved by replacing those sensors. I'm glad it worked out...

Never seen it, but after looking it up I might have a watch. I'm still pondering "Alita: Battle Angel". That was fucking outstanding. Cheers, Kennith

The universe, and the inconvenience it's inhabitants cause me. 🤣 Cheers, Kennith
