Just your average human. I run @BetaWiki, the open encyclopedia of software history.

someone must be screaming at the discord offices right now

[Ryuzaki @rezedus]

rolling release users complain about $(package_manager) not doing partial upgrades while also admitting to do stuff that makes partial upgrades break stuff

[cts🌸 @gf_256]

homebrew is what happens when you can't invert a binary tree

[Ryuzaki @rezedus]

@denehoffman @ahumanornot @gf_256 The problem here is that updating a single package without updating packages that depend on it can result in the dependent binaries breaking. This is why rolling release Linux distros do not support partial upgrades.

it tells a lot about your language if you're literally porting your compiler away from it

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

The TypeScript team just announced that they are porting to Go. It's already 10x faster 🤯

What costs $349 on a thin client device?

[Ryuzaki @rezedus]

hell yeah

@LunaFoxgirlVT Let's not fool ourselves, Windows 10 wasn't *all* that better. Windows 11 just put another layer of eye candy on top of that.

Sadly Windows is that one thing that you don't use because you want to but because you have to

WIndows XP OOBE music probably holds the record as the single piece of music not heard by most people when it was being played

[Ryuzaki @rezedus]

let's ignore the fact the format only came out like two years after this particular beta was made

the beta came on three 360k floppies. IT WOULD HAVE FIT ON A SINGLE 1.44M DISK, WHY IS THERE FOURTEEN OF THEM

[Ryuzaki @rezedus]

somebody on ebay wants $493.75 for a set of 3.5" 1.44MB floppies with a printed win1.0 beta bootscreen glued onto them

[Ryuzaki @rezedus]

oh the memories

oh no the Multitasking MS-DOS 4.0 source code conspiracy

[Ryuzaki @rezedus]

Can we please address the elephant in the room called Electron first before picking on native apps a bit too liberal with memory usage?

The Windows 1.0 Calendar is actually *more* memory intensive when you factor in the fact this runs in 640k. With way less functionality, obv.

[RiscV @MKVRiscy]

8GB *should* be enough

How did we end up in a world where your computer’s calendar needs 81.6 MILLION bytes of active memory

[BetaWiki @BetaWiki]

Did you know? In 1986, Microsoft released a version of MS-DOS which supported preemptive multitasking for compatible applications.

This version was called MS-DOS 4.0 and is completely unrelated to the proper, widespread version of MS-DOS 4.0 from 1988!

not quite sure how this simple snarky remark of mine managed to blow up but i think you should still read the original tweet - it's the first time i heard of such an elaborate steal&phish scheme and it was a pretty nice insight

>Even Tech People can get Fooled..

if you get fooled by this, you're not a tech person

After my Brother’s iPhone 14 got stolen.
His friend received a message stating that his iPhone has been found.

A link was given which took him to the find device website.

It asked for the Lockscreen pin that was set on stolen iphone.

Only thing is, Its a Fake Fraud Website.👇

@SUndertale28269 they probably just used the same SMS gateway service, not sure if i would call that by itself suspicious
