Is Reddit a receiving device designed by a minister responsible for political agitation, through which the head of state sends out rallying cries? Are you drunk?

This chap has – having been in the Sun Ra Arkestra longer than I've been alive – released his first solo album two days after his 100th birthday. That deserves full admiration. https://marshallallen.bandcamp.com/album/new-dawn

That's why radio and television are dying though.

It was not. The great advantage of Unix in today's world is that it happened to be there at the right time, when PCs became affordable. Although there were operating systems "early enough" with V10 UNIX and – later – Plan 9, which took something as modern as a graphical screen for granted and...

The time I would need to prompt a meaningful answer out of a chatbot (with my Kagi subscription I could now use some of them virtually for free), I believe I can invest much more meaningfully by spending 2-3 minutes searching the web for the correct answer and then having a beer for the rest of...

It depends. Apple has now proven several times that they do not give in to governments' surveillance demands. Nevertheless, most of the data is, of course, on my own servers; in iCloud, I only store completely insignificant things.

I think you don't understand how encryption works. Try scanning encrypted stuff on a client.

I remain highly satisfied with Usenet and IRC and will wait and see what happens, while the Web 2.0 old-timers are still fighting amongst themselves over which form of "IRC with pictures" will truly be the definitive one. In any case, Reddit has clearly lost popularity (and accounts) over the...

In a world where Video TECO exists, the run for being the hardest full screen editor is already over.

However, it has been downgraded to a normal text editor in the successor to Unix.

I gladly use a license that makes my code incompatible with the GPL. This is my own contribution to making open source fun again.

I disagree with both the wording and the opinion.

And me.
