Open-floor offices, non-stop emails and chat messages, several meetings scattered throughout the week and the day.

This kills productivity and increases stress and fatigue for people that need to concentrate to work on complex stuff. There's also the time you need to properly switch contexts.

Did you work with something else during your rest period?

I don't think most people wouldn't be able to, financially.

Stop hijacking the scrolling.

I'm still running El Capitan: EoL 10 years ago.

Nice to see someone still using RethinkDB.

Very scummy.

I have El Capitan running on a 2015 Air.

The main problem is getting new certificates, because the ones bundled in the OS have expired. It took a lot of searching to find something that worked and I'm not sure if it was one "solution", or the result of multiple "solutions" being tried out.

The secondary problem is new software won't run properly, like corporate/commercial VPN clients. It took a lot of fiddling to get Tunnelblick to work with a commercial VPN, and I couldn't get some corporate client to work, even using an old version.

Everybody does the same on Black Friday sales.

I now have ads on HBO Max, Prime Video and Disney+. Netflix also has ads.

Phone apps collect your data and show you ads.

Some smart TVs show you ads, and also collect your data.

Now the fridges.

When will we get ads beamed into our dreams à la Futurama?

Gopher and Finger.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

There are whole countries like that.

The clicky/tactile buttons on these old HP's are great. Still like fiddling with my 48GX.

I've been using a Mac since 2015 and have not seen any ads in it.

They're lucky, I have to use Win11.

Huh, now I know what Airdorf used in Faith: Unholy Trinity.

K&R C was the apex, we've just been going downhill since.

Light shinobi.

They should have gone with 360 first.

You forgot

What could possibly go wrong?

The more UI "evolves", the more I crave Win98.

Am working for a large company in the EU. The amount of bureaucracy is insane.

It's still more setup than just installing this tool.

Also, can Wireshark/libpcap decrypt SSL/TLS traffic this easily?
