emersonrsantos··on The History of OS/2 (2001)
I was an OS/2 evangelist among my university friends. We would install and try to run the DOS games and it worked flawlessly, and I even run a BBS on it, on 1995.

Unfortunately, we've all migrated to NT 4.0 as it did the same things but it has better hardware support because of drivers.

Since then, it was a painful decline and I believe the only production system running OS/2 nowadays are IBM mainframe consoles, as IBM migrated away desktop enterprise machines to Linux.

emersonrsantos··on A GTK theme based on Windows 3.11 appearance
This is way off 3.11, seems more like 95 with 3.11 colors. But there's always room for improvements.

The only thing that I dislike the fast, web version of HN is this desktop layout on mobile, but HN have an API and 100's of mobile clients which work exceptionally well, and a mobile client for HN can be written in hours.
emersonrsantos··on Sometimes mindlessness is better than mindfulness
What is concentration? Is to have your attention totally directed to one thought. The goal of meditation is to have no thoughts, which is totally different from mindfulness, which is just attention on everything you do.

Samadhi or illumination is attained without thoughts, mostly with a help of a 'koan' like: 'we know that all things can be reduced to unity. What unity is reduced to?'

Then the mind cannot answer and will start to evade and even give illogical answers, then the mind, when tired, stops looking for answers and go quiet, and that's the goal of meditation.

emersonrsantos··on Watch Windows 95 crash live as it exceeds 49.7 days uptime [video]
After the crash, the video author typed inside Notepad:

"It hung! I ctrl-alt-deleted it, but it wouldn't respond so I rebooted it with another ctrl-alt-delete

Thanks for watching.

TRANS RIGHTS!"

emersonrsantos··on Brazil prisoners reading books to shorten their sentences (2020)
Paulo Freire plagiarized the Laubach method, created by the protestant missionary Frank Charles Laubach. The method was copied by marxists ideologists in Brazil's Pernambuco, emphasizing the class struggle. The author of these other primers was Paulo Freire, who lent his name to the "new methodology" as if it were his own.
emersonrsantos··on Mosh: The Mobile Shell
This mimics a lot how 3270 devices work, by transmitting chunks instead of individual keystrokes. The IBM 3270 technology dates from 1970!
emersonrsantos··on I do not agree with Github's use of copyrighted code as training for Copilot
Copilot assumes the code in the repo is right, so just start putting some wrong code there as an anti Copilot measure.
