Thanks, I hate it

That would make it the most precise military strike of all time.

Pretty sure that honor still goes to the R9X Slap Chop. The pager explosions, on the other hand, injured thousands.

Any aggregate rating of the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine is going to basically be useless

The whole damn bot is useless spam for Ground News, which sells paid subscriptions. I’m still not convinced they aren’t paying off the admins.

The two are not mutually exclusive. But OP’s question was why “EVERYONE” has not deleted their account. And the objective answer is that some people obviously still use the service. But once again people are treating the downvote button as an “I don’t like this” button.

Edit to add: Why? What exactly is wrong with what I said?

There is no one true replacement for the utility that it provides. Not with sufficient penetration of network effect, anyway.

Same reason most people don’t delete Facebook (edit: or Reddit).

You may not personally find utility in either of them. But just like boner pill spam, clearly someone does, or they would just go away.

It’s a wonder that someone hasn’t implemented a similar wrapper for WDDM. I suppose they’d rather force the vendors to play nicely.

Works great under the nails though

Let’s not pretend that the man doesn’t know exactly what he is doing. His only deficit is in charisma.

This thing costs about the same as one good set of nails

Moving down the stack, Unix systems have never been big on supporting arbitrary drivers: remember that Unix systems were typically coupled to specific machines and vendors. NT, on the other hand, intended to be an OS for “any” machine and was sold by a software company, so supporting drivers written by others was critical. As a result, NT came with the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS), an abstraction to support network card drivers with ease. To this day, manufacturer-supplied drivers are just not a thing on Linux, which leads to interesting contraptions like the ndiswrapper, a very popular shim in the early 2000s to be able to reuse Windows drivers for WiFi cards on Linux.

Besides the fact that present-day battery technology makes this impossible, modern smartphones display a very obvious indicator when apps are using the microphone.

Hotword detection notwithstanding, as that happens at the hardware level.

Rizz is to charisma as vibes is to vibrations.

RECLAIMING MY TIME

The two are not mutually exclusive. The downvote button is not an “I don’t like this” button.

They were keeping their promise of 10 years of Lightning ecosystem support. Dropping the old iPod connector was highly controversial.

If any KDE developers read this, we seriously and strongly recommend that the KDE team takes a long, close look at Deepin. DDE shows both how pretty and how functional a Windows-style desktop can be, without needing Plasma’s multiple overlapping options. This is what we’d hoped to see in Plasma 6, but didn’t get. It’s probably fair to say that Deepin is the most sophisticated implementation of a Windows-like interface on any OS these days. It’s considerably more flexible and configurable than Windows 11 itself, and it makes Cinnamon, MATE, Budgie, and the others look clunky and old-fashioned. Don’t get us wrong; this grumpy old vulture is happier with the relatively austere and Spartan Xfce, but for those who want something that’s shinier out of the box, DDE shows how it ought to be done. Even Microsoft could learn from the Chinese developers.

It makes about as much sense as the typical ones anyway. Or, like, the output to nmap --help or something.
