I had no idea this was even posted on HN until a short while ago, lol Regarding shieldfont, if a screen reader can get the real words, then AI scrapers will eventually be able to get them one way or the other... I stand by my points in the

Governments and their agencies shouldn't have any access to the communications of private citizens. If something like terrorism is the issue, the correct response is to use the wealth and resources of the government to address the root

A couple years ago I got a bunch of recycled low density DS/DD disks here. It was a good deal; yeah I had to clean em off a bit, and I also re-labeled them with some newer labels. But a good deal nonetheless. I approve.

I should note: I ran the OS 9 installer, then was doing a few other things around the apartment and when I got back, it had crashed. So I reopened it, reran it, and it seems all the files had successfully been copied, so all it effectively

Runs nicely on my iBook G3! Is the OS 9 build supposed to include Blue Shift and Opposing Force, or is that only a reference to the Tiger and Leopard ports? Just tried out the Tiger port on my iMac G4; it also runs fine!

The removal of window chrome was a gigantic mistake and we're all paying for it every day. Having to tolerate the extra mental overhead caused by the removal of such affordances in UIs every single time I use a computer makes me wonder

I have so many questions... I wonder how the legalities of this work. If people write in "Count Binface" or if that's the name on the ballot, then if he wins, does that mean Jonathan David Harvey (the actual name of the guy w

I did play with adding the 1-bit NTT Docomo emojis, as well as the 1998 Softbank emojis, into LisaGUI (my 1-bit Lisa-themed web OS). The glyphs are at most 12 pixels squared, and fit comfortably with the existing Lisa typefaces I've ad

I realize this might be an unpopular opinion but I never liked the look of the "hump" created by the upper deck of the 747.

You seem very happy with your current situation. It sounds like you'd be taking a cut in your pay in exchange for much more work. There's a small chance of a large payout if they get bought out, but this is assuming the startup do

You can email anyone if there's something you need to communicate to them. Since when was it ever a big deal to email someone you don't know?

There's now a version of GEM you can run on a Lisa. But 68KMLA is down so I have no easy way to link to the relevant thread. :(
