Progenitor of the Weird Knife Wednesday feature column. Is “column” the right word?
I make knives now, too. Why not buy one at flightlessforge.com?

If this includes any information anyone enters into any type of medical service portal this is an instant HIPPA violation and these guys need to be federally prosecuted straight into the dirt. There may be other regulations that apply to this as well, e.g. those related to the banking sector. Never mind the inherent security implications in basically any workplace.
You do not log a user’s keystrokes or text entry. Ever. You know who does do that? Malware.
Yes, but I was fortunate enough to never actually get as far as ponying up the 99 cents. I got an MPX200 pretty early in my cell phone career which ran Windows CE and basically let the owner do whatever the fuck they wanted, including using .wav or .mp3 files as ringtones.
20 years ago was 2006. I will point out that at that juncture the original iPhone wasn’t even out yet. It released the following year. Normal people who were not turbo-nerds or high powered businessmen did not own smartphones in any significant number at that point.
If your device was even capable of downloading a cat video, we were still in the era when your cell phone carrier would have charged you $1.99 to do it.
Yes, and the form controls included do not support mouse wheel inputs either unless you manually capture the events in your own code using the Windows API. This includes e.g. multiline text boxes in within VBA applications even as late as in Office 2016 which is monumentally irritating.
But VB itself was certainly among the first modern IDEs. It wasn’t the first IDE in general, though. I think that was probably Turbo Pascal back in the DOS days which had its editor, compiler, and debugger (such as it was) all in one lump.
As much as we love to hate on bad old M$, Visual Basic had a rather feature complete IDE for 1991, including syntax highlighting. At minimum by the 5.0 release (1997) it also had function syntax hints and certainly built in documentation. You could even customize the editor window colors.
Of course it had absolutely no code repository or version control capability whatsoever. It was designed with a one dude, one computer, one project paradigm in mind for sure.
And I’m sure we can also find some work for the snakes while we’re at it.
This idea is ridiculous. It’s a complete fantasy that you can just release wolves as the panacea to everything. The real world is more complicated than that.
Some situations require having mountain lions released on them, or possibly bears.
Possibly! Be careful what you wish for.
GBA? The kids these days. I have an original Zelda cart for the NES that still holds save data.
My Atari VCS (this was before they were calling it the “2600”) was manufactured in 1978. It’s 48 years old, and if I slap E.T. into that son of a bitch, it plays.
I don’t think eight hours is going to do it. You’ll have to find me after, like, five days.
At one point in history as I sat and watched the crowds circulating through the top of the Pinnacle on the Blue Mountain ridge in Pennsylvania, I considered just loading my pack with Cliff bars and Gatorade, donning a pair of cheap cat ears, and parking my butt just before the overlook for an entire afternoon.
Khajiit has wares if you have coin.
It would be a lot of work just for the gag. I’d still probably make a profit.
Well,
Oh, how we yearn for those simpler times.
Badly photoshopped rage bait? On my internet?
You’re going to call out !knives@sopuli.xyz and not !pocketknife@lemmy.world? Hey, now.
We are committed to getting people to spend money on dumb shit over here.
Lawnchair for me as well.
Back in the good old days Nova was actually one of the three apps I paid for. Can’t say as I’m pleased about things with Nova going down the way they did, but I can’t say as I’m too surprised, either. (The other two in case anyone cares are Torque and Alpine Quest.)
Not until somebody shuts off the investor money faucet for AI. Then they’ll come crawling back — although inevitably not until after they go whining to all the world’s governments about wanting a bailout.
But hey, look at the bright side. We’ve already had the cryptocurrency mining boom and bust, and “AI” boom and soon to be bust. There’s still time for some idiot to invent the next tech scam fad which will conveniently require a shitload of hardware for no recognizably useful purpose.
I finally gave in and installed Waterfox on my own machine today. I hate to admit it, but having used it for my regular workflow (i.e. actually at work) for the last few hours so far it seems like what base Firefox should be. And arguably still was up until two or three years ago, although I suppose minus the Pocket integration BS that they were doing at that time.
The trouble with all of these forks is that they outright rely on regular Firefox to continue to exist upstream, and if Mozilla tanks and takes down Firefox as a whole all of the forks will by association go with it. I didn’t want to actually abandon Mozilla’s version because their user numbers seem to be tenuous enough as it is. But at this rate I think I’m going to switch our office over to Waterfox in the next couple of days regardless.
