C64 OS has one goal: make a Commodore 64 feel fast and useful in today’s modern world. Now I just have to figure out how to get it onto the tape drive

"useful"; always good to know immediately that a goal will fail.

Microsoft released a security advisory about a denial-of-service vulnerability that could render multiple versions of Windows completely unresponsive and has no mitigation factors, the company says. "That's a drag with a monkey on your back Smack Jack"

Windows, Windows, Windows. Oh, and Linux had this problem too, and fixed it. So did Microsoft.

Linux's creator is stepping back from his Linux kernel work -- to work instead on his behavior toward other developers. The first step is admitting you have a problem

I recall one coworker who was very polite and affable in person, but would be extremely offensive in email and messaging. It was very weird.

New protections in Apple's Safari and Mozilla's Firefox browsers aim to prevent companies from turning "cookie" data files used to store sign-in details and preferences into broader trackers that take note of what you read, watch and research on other sites. I'm sure they'll work around it shortly

Quote: In a statement, Interactive Advertising Bureau executive Dennis Buchheim said that even as browsers makers feel pressured to deliver privacy-centric features, they should consider the importance of advertising in enabling free services.
On the contrary, what the advertiscumbags need to realize is that their actions have consequences. When several years back after agreeing to a voluntary do-not-track flag as an alternative to it being made mandatory, subsequently they collectively decided to ignore it they declared open war. That the rest of us are ramping up our defenses as a result. Personally, that move marked when I switched from a purely self-made blocklist consisting of whatever advertisers crap broke usability/user experience of the years to using 3rd party block feeds to preemptively kill as many of their payloads as possible.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Amen. The only things that I store in the "cloud" are those that I explicitly intend to share with others.
