I think it is pretty impressive if you consider ChromeOS, with all of Google's resources behind it, is at 1.47%.

Ha I just booted Haiku on my desktop yesterday and it ran surprisingly well. Kind of took me back to 2001. If Firefox is stable on it I actually probably could switch from Windows (my needs are pretty simple at home).

Agree. I could afford "better" but the Neo suits my needs perfectly and I don't like expensive laptops that are prone to damage and theft. Dollar for dollar it is the best computer I've ever bought.

No idea, but at least Microsoft has some semblance of support where you can talk to a person.

I (reluctantly) gave up on the Mac several years ago. Being on a PC might initially seem clunky and unrefined but it is actually very freeing to be able to choose my manufacturer, the OS, components, have tons of ports available, compatibil

Whenever I want to experience the web as it used to be I’ll run a search on wiby.me or browse neocities.org

Weird. I figured at the time it was due to COVID related supply chain issues, but I just checked and they still don't stock them locally.

I paid a little more and waited a couple weeks to receive a Delta single handle faucet for my kitchen back in 2020, rather than just buying what was available on the shelf at Lowe's. Model: #400LF-WF. The reviews at the time said it wa

I agree with your overall point but I'm starting to regularly see older M series MacBooks on sale for around 600 or 700 dollars brand new. Maybe they are using the strategy of selling older hardware for less like they did with the iPho

Ah not sure the driving himself part was the best idea but I’m glad to hear the LLM helped and your dad is ok!

The job market is scary. I can afford a better house right now but am scared shitless I won’t be able to keep my income up. So we stay in our small old house for now, maybe forever.

I thought they were just a web portal and email service. It is amazing they still offered ISP services this long. They had some pretty unscrupulous business practices back in the day with their free trial CD mailers. My cousin worked in the

MacOS is unusable to me now. I had to switch back to Windows. There is something about the iOS aesthetic on MacOS that looks like they just smeared Vaseline all over everything and this new glass design doesn't help.

I don't know much about Gambas but it seems it is Linux only whereas Xojo is cross platform.

Have you checked out Xojo? It is a VB6-like language with a similar development UI. There are desktop and web versions. https://documentation.xojo.com/getting_started/tutorials/des...

Have you checked out RISC OS already?

Xojo Web aims to do exactly what you describe. https://xojo.com/products/web.php I haven't really used it - I'm just a hobbyist coder who enjoys the VB6 style development of the desktop version of Xojo.

My mother recently passed away after a long battle with dementia. Apparently when she would forget an account existed or she could not log in she would create another account. She had multiple email addresses and Facebook profiles that I kn

Thank you for this! I pressed Ctrl+Shift+S in Firefox just to see if it would work and it has the same functionality.

I liked CityDesk so much I wrote a clone of it in Xojo (then Realbasic) about 15 years ago. It has wysiwyg, templates, uses sqlite instead of a MS Access DB. Sometimes I think about making it public but don’t know if anyone would be interes

I have a similar goal (1 laptop) but with a concession to have one monitor, probably with a built in USB C hub, as a docking station just for ergonomics sake. Eventually it might be possible to only have a mobile phone that docks to a monit

I like the earlier Civ games, up to around version 4 for this reason. Less complexity and micromanagement.

I appreciated the simplicity of Works. It was quick to start up and used less system resources than Office. PCs were so dog slow before SSDs. I used Works in college until some of my later classes required some advanced features that the Wo

Someone has to unload the trucks and stack all that stuff on the shelves. It is pretty hard work. I know because I've done it.

This reads like a r/pfjerk post. Well done!
