Did you guys notice that internet and computers in general started becoming shit when they started calling computer...

hey everybody get a load of this fucking retard who thinks programs and apps are the same thing

what an absolute fucking retard. let me guess you're a professional computer applicationer. did you go to school for application technology. did you learn how the ALU knows your gay anon?

yes, that was when iphones started becoming popular

No

Used Debian last 12 years. No such issue. Stop using Windows.

This guy exploits widgets.

Lol who cares about that when Jew awareness is at an all time since pre WW2

I love how Microsoft can commandeer my computer anytime they want and install updates I never asked for or agreed to.

This guy bitshifts in church lets run the shred command on his sense of self worth

i miss the days of someone talking shit at me on GeoCities and Yahoo chat in the late 1990s

click user name

copy IP address

open WinNuke98.exe

fuck off, asshole

name drops out of chatroom

you younger millennials and zoomer will never know, that shit was THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST

fuck this gayass modernity filled with jeets and browns this used to never ever be a thing. it was rare to run into a german or jap sometimes even

I've touched grass so using the word "app" or "app store" doesn't bother me. In fact, you might want to look for an app to direct you to a therapist.

We are ceos saaaar

Install 11 so they screencap everything you do too

You got that right. Conversation I had with my grandmother over signal today. Complete antisemite at this point and redpilled on paganism

Much better pre-iPhone era. Computers were a more elegant tool, for a more civilized age.

Why would you debian when you could get a RHEL OS. Have you ever done load, store, and branch, son? Have you? I was multiplexing your grandma on baremetal before nixon.

It b came shit when they started making them for niggers.

- never paid for Windows
- proselytised not paying for Windows
- helped others not pay for Windows
- Windows goes F2P

No I started using Ghost Spectre Windows 11 and realized I don't need any apps.

Fuck that shit, I had to use VMWare vSphere for ages and I fucking hate everything RHEL. If I wanted any of your fancy shit I'd use zfs or btrfs or something.

Coincided with prevalence of smart phones and dumb people.

Winnuke only worked on people who refused to eat their updates.

back in my day they were "appz"

Windows 95 was the last good OS.
All the other iterances have too much handholding, bloatware, and less tinkering is allowed.

Did you guys notice

Amazing what zoomers consider to be profound

Yes.

You realize Microsoft generates WAY more profit by spying on you then they do from the ~60 dollar licensing fee

1980s

Anon, they weren't alive then. They don't know. All they know is the turtleneck guy ruined everything, and they're right about that at least.

Has this been explained yet?

This.
And anyone forcing a phone app without offering a program on a real computer needs their skull caved in with a blunt object.

New cars are now doing this too.

most people I know or interact with online call it a program
so true, everything is taking up more resources than it should and clogging in the background

They certainly make way more from spying on you than they do from the $0 no-license fee.

You're talking OSs and programs. Fingers crossed I can avoid using Windows these days, hope work won't ask for it anytime soon. MacOS is the only system I haven't tried yet and I'd like a QRD if any anons are happy users of that OS.

What bother me more is the Internet. Both how websites look/operate now (huge pictures everywhere, AI-redacted bullet-point bs with an Indian author on EVERY "PC wizz" web help, which is why I only search forums now; but let's not forget the fucking AI checks, cookie notices and paywalls) and user output. YouTube is shit and annoying, its once-good algorithm no longer works and I get fed political boomerslop instead of music or travel videos which would be more aligned with my tastes. I tried my best with browser extensions to limit any account or cookie bs but somehow my inclination towards world politics has seeped this far.
I remember as a kid twenty years ago how the Internet felt way more different, more random but also much more qualitative. Actual info could be found much quicker.

Companies need to stop the constant apps too in general. I shouldn't have to download an app to get a cheap haircut.

Coincided with prevalence of smart phones

This.
Curse the smart phone
Curse steve jobs
Curse the lowest common denominator consumer of market garbage

get new pc game at EB

read the booklet the whole way home

fun weekend

I think it was touchscreens & smartphones that ruined everything.

It was when Israel started putting spyware in all of our devices so the processor is constantly busy reporting your activity and data to Tel Aviv and doesn't have time to do what the user is requesting.

I remember spamming a fuckload of html tags and because computers were so slow it'd freeze for 5+ minutes while it read the nothing between them.

indeed

Yeah you were right the term was actually coined in the 1960s
oed.com/dictionary/applications-software_n?tl=true#:~:text=Where does the noun applications,1625–

which was basically everyone back then too.

now they force feed you them and lock you out behind an I AGREE TO YOUR NEW TERMS bullshit

the port 131 OOB bug wasn't fixed for a long, long, long time too thankfully. It was in both with 95 and win 98. it was nice having the power to kick people off the intarwebs

imagine now, anon. Nuke TLD *.in permanently

No.

t. Linux user

We need a king to kick the shit out of the CIA so we can make computers great again.

everything is taking longer

How old is your computer? The whole "cores/threads" marketing malarky has really distracted from actually useful metrics like "instructions retired per second". If you're still on a decades-old platform and thinking "well, a modern computer also only has four cores and eight threads", then there's a shock waiting for you when you try a modern computer.

That is the silver lining, there is still a fuckin' problem.

oh shit bro good tip thanks

QRD on MacOS it's just a more locked down version of a linux-like environment, once you have a package manager it's usable but it's gonna datamine the fuck out of you especially regarding media saved. Advise to just stick to debian

In terms of search my vote is still for yandex. I try to not put sensitive information about myself online and use russian or chinese service providers as I know these aren't going to give info over readily. But keep in mind CIA MAYBE can see everything anyway that runs around the wire if they *really* want to get you. Doesn't hurt to be reasonably cautious however. Study OPSEC and apply it. Same as 10 years ago

also known as ICQ

I remember seeing someone complain a mod didn't work.
It turns out that instead of doing the sensible thing of:
1: Overwrite old files with new files.
2: Ask if you wanna overwrite, keep old files, or choose for each.
It just throws all the old files and all the new files in there so he had like eight fucking versions installed at once.
Remind me again what mactards are paying for?

And how do we stop that from turning into a Praetorian Guard situation, where some asshole glowniggers and the bodyguards turn into the kingmakers?

kek that's actually brilliant, man

Uh-oh! ICQ was pretty cool.

You buy a thinkpad compatible with libreboot or coreboot, disable the intel management engine, and build a highly secure and lightweight OpenBSD system which utilizes full disk encryption and always on WireGuard VPN.

More like the time we started calling image macros memes

when i see a person saying that i assume they are a fucking retard. apps run on mobile devices, programs run on computers. i dont care what microshit says

yup. macros.

remember printing them out on a shitty canon bubble jet printer and bringing them to school to pass around or pin up. rotten.com imagines left on school billboard too

I neutered it so it cant just "update" whenever it decides to any more. it still whines though

So does linux, just look at
/usr/lib/libbloat.1.2.3
/usr/lib/libbloat.1.2.2
/usr/lib/libbloat.1.2.1

the sensible thing

No, that's a retarded thing. If any resource of any kind isn't the exact same thing, it shouldn't have the same filename. Windows finally sorted this out with the winsxs repository and virtual system32s for each process, but explicitly naming libraries with their full version number isn't that bad compared to dll hell.

OpenBSD

No. Fuck Unix.

Flood the net with people that normally wouldn't have access

Get taxpayers to foot the bill

What could go wrong?

That secures the data, anon, not the monarchy!

Lulz same. I even change desktop backgrounds, and left freshly burn cds around.

he spilt his drink. Thats it. It happens. I spilt a cup of water on my crotch area a few days back. Such is life

I think they called phone programs apps first, and then the niggerbrains began referring to computer programs as apps too.

Download new version of mod

Files have same name, but different file sizes

Hey, do you wanna keep the old ones or replace with the new ones?

VS

Hurr durr they should have completely different names and require a completely different installation

You're one of the faggots ensuring most files don't even have normal download links anymore in favor of download three other fucking things so you can enter a dos command and so the same shit a real download should have done!

apps run on mobile devices, programs run on computers. i dont care what microshit says

But that's wrong though.
Apps run in a sandbox, programs get to act like they own the computer. For most use cases, particularly "retard downloads some dickhead's program off the internet and installs it", apps are simply a better idea. The worst an app can do is delete its own documents, or ask the user nicely if he'd like some files deleted or sent to India.

Computer programs have never been called 'apps'. That's phone bullshit.

Don't, mind me. Just playing some GTA V on debian.
I dual booted windows for a long time because of games, but now that 10 support is coming to an end I wiped it. Surprising how good gaming has gotten on linux

wrong, "app" is simply short for "application"

I run GrapheneOS, Google play services are all in sandbox, and i actually pay for a firewall. they maintain all the blacklists these sneaky shitbird advertisement and tracker companies try and manipulate to dodge such things. its only $60 a year, like a bar tab.

do it also partly because i think graphene has a sort-of-native firewall that doesn't play nicely with VPNs and other 'walls

google can slap themselves on the chin with my hairy balls i will never ever use any of their products

It was SCRUM

India's culture of erratic change perfectly matches the West's lust for scrum.

This was a lightbulb moment for me to understand why people in India passionately love scrum. Thanks to scrum they can work in their very own comfort zone!
cio.com/article/251027/why-india-loves-scrum.html

new tech is just doing all kinds of shit on its own when im supposed to be the one telling it what to do. The user tells the software what to do, the software tells the hardware what to do. It's that fucking simple and it can be no other way. Don't update SHIT without asking me. Don't talk to me either. when any kind of tech is talking to me or even notifying me with a bunch of faggy ambient noises i want to fucking snap.

phones are way too fucking chatty these days. loaded with so much bullshit shit that wants to tell you what its doing and no you can't fucking stop me. total shit.

Even apps that are just a web browser + HTML make sure you have to download an app, that way they can spy on you and sell the data.

Smart phones don't need more than calls, texts, camera, a web browser, note pad, and maps.

Started when the iPhone appeared.

For all the faggots using windows 11, you can turn off most of the spying shit, but regardless your cpu already has a hardcoded spyware that you cannot get rid off, nonetheless you can still turn off the entire microsoft security running a script from the link bellow along with other data sending bullshit that can be turned off in settings/privacy and security. Additionally you can also untick the search indexing on each of your hard drives.
There are also numerous microsoft services that you can disable and on task scheduler too, google it and find out what you don't need. Usually CompatTelRunner.exe is the file that sends telemetry to microsoft every time your system is idle along with msmpeg from microsoft defender scans which sets your cpu usage to relatively high. Keep in mind that every time windows 11 updates itself, the CompatTelRunner.exe found in system32 will still be reintegrated after you delete it, so it's the same bullshit process of reacquiring rights again for the user in properties and deleting it. Open up powershell via administrator and copy paste this: Dism /Online /Disable-Feature /Featurename:Recall

Link to the exe file (This will disable if not remove the entire microsoft security essentials along with defender, if you use common sense antivirus then you're good, otherwise get another one)

github.com/ionuttbara/windows-defender-remover
github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat (another one worth looking at)
There is also a program for easily disabling all the tracking shit on windows for those that are lazy fucking niggers.

shut up 10 should be MANDATORY for every single install of this turd OS. the amount of egregious shit in there, basically akin to "hand Microsoft my wallet and access to my personal items? enabled" by default

every time it auto updates worst offenders switch itself back on too, one must keep checking it

i was always against being a neck beard Linux fatty, but its getting to the point where i dont want to put up with this shit anymore.

Don't forget microtransactions, if you don't buy any upgraded weapons, then you're basically underpowered.

the fucking audacity of them to take your money like that, and then snatch your property you paid for back. Fraud. Theft. fuck that troonshit company blizzard

Well I still play games and am too lazy to be downloading and learning Linux and how to use platforms there for games. But you still are seen by your ISP for accessing the internet at the end of the day and as I said about the CPU spyware thingy, it still is pretty much the same problem. The only difference is that Microsoft also sends your data to vendors kinda like cookie requests from websites, so they can profile easier for proper advertisements to be sent back. 11's bloatware is a bit of a bitch to deal with in the beginning, but later on it is worth it. I switched 3 motherboards, cpus and such on the same operating system without formatting it and it still works alright for these 6 years.

i was always against being a neck beard Linux fatty, but its getting to the point where i dont want to put up with this shit anymore.

Go for it bro, you are starting to run out of options, who knows what other updates may turn up on microsoft.

except you're using a google phone that's hardware backdoored from the factory

But as I said, the shutup10 is optional, because you can turn off those by yourself on settings/privacy & security

Yes. They stopped making good application suites and started delivering feed slop.

Don't waste time with that company, the last good product they made was WOTLK.

women got hired around 2012 and the bullshit sector got new talent and "apps" sounded quirkier and more hip than "programs" and that was woman's contribution to computer science in 2012

They're still called programs

The same woman who made Microsoft BOB was put in charge of Windows 10's UI and is still in charge of Windows 11's UI.

Everything flows through her. Even if Indian people write the code, she is the one who told them what to do.

yeah i figured that one out. i wanted to get the remake of D2 because i played it in high school for months, but i already know im gonna hurt some mup da doo didda welfare niggers feelings, and some pink haired fatass hawg is gonna take my access away

Qubes OS trounces Mac OS.

Beware Mullvad/KickSecure users on Qubes: Mullvad-anything and KickSecure seem to like setting sysctl arp_ignore=2 on all interfaces, which breaks qube point-to-point networks. Fix it by adding net.ipv4.conf.*.arp_ignore=1 to .../sysctl.d/999_qubes-network-fix.conf in your templates.

Posting here to make it searchable to other Qubes users. Picrel: my desktop, you like? Many VPNs for appearing at many endpoints!

(qubes os broken network mullvad vpn kicksecure intermittent ping latency)

Not surprised, everything they seem to create or modify just becomes of mediocre quality. I miss Windows XP like you wouldn't believe.

N

you mean Gate's sloppy dick garage that kamala harris'd her way to that position up top?

yeah "with jews you lose" basically applies to their closest relatives: the eternal roastie

If you did not get permabanned from Diablo 3 and then stop buying Blizzard garbage you are not doing it right.

Linux is easy to use. Anyone saying it'd hard is retarded. The only thing you need to learn is command line package management.

sudo apt-get install chromium

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

If you are digging into linux and how it works, you're using it wrong.
100% theft and government doesn't care.

i noticed it started being shit when india took over and released windows 1nd1a which is literally windows 10 with makeup
if you don't believe it's windows 10 open windows 10
what's it say
windows 10

open cmd sry i had a 1nd1a brainfart

the term "app" was coined by the ipod touch, on which the first iphone quickly followed. After that every midwit started calling software "apps". Even windows vista called them "applications" if they were useful software or "widgets" if they were time wasting programs meant to datamine you.
The first occurrence of the word "app" started the era of software-slop and I blame steve apple for that.

Aw man, you just made me so nostalgic for video game manuals. Another joy lost on the young 'uns.

Apps only exist on phones.

This is why forced online for a single player game is cancer.

Yeah that’s when they let normies in

(me) thanks for the encouragement man, i actually dont have an ISP. I got my own house and an all you can eat data buffer plan (i live alone in own house). whenever i use my desktop i jack into graphene and USB tether. got one of those special front facing USB 3.2? i think it was hardware bits for the front bay of the tower.

the only time i really use it is to type up letters or plug into my car and make tuning changes (VAGCOM ans tuning Maestro, AWD turbo ea888 audi/volkswagen, 500ish horsepower)

The jeetification of the net has been a disaster for the human race

Wrong. Tbc is what killed wow, wotlk was ridding the corpse's momentum.
Flying mount, tiny world, summoning stones, arena, 25 man raids, a new world separate from existing one, all of that killed it.
Wotlk was "ok" but bad compared.

MUP DA DOO DIDDA BIX NOOD MUHFUGGA

If you have to ask why you're likely exacerbating the downfall of society.

Indeed, i noticed

You can just block everything by default with a firewall.
Not saying that's a good thing, but it's certainly possible to de-shittify things.

Everyone has become hypersocialized masses afraid of having their lives ruined over minor social faux-pas, and also looking for minor social faux-pas to profit/shame/virtua signal.

Every fucking mouse click now sends a request back to some server in a data center so every interaction takes minimum 500ms.

it's even worse than that. it's all local. the 500ms is purely from bloat.

Something that most users won't articulate but have noticed is that the UI/UX experience started to include animations, and even at 50-100ms, each animation is a delay. This is supposed to help the user, but I think it was more intuitive for the app to hang the display (and show the user the hourglass, etc.) or simply not load whatever window/modal until needed.
The new way of presenting UI & animation before data is just ass to most people.

niggerdicks

wrongthink

wrongthink isnt being racist kid. dont get me wrong im a racist but you should grow up.

The major problem was the change of fighting mechanics and talent trees later on with MoP and beyond, I was a kid when the first two came out and only started playing wotlk after.

fucking mandatory now

normies are the goy cattle being milked for ad-servs and impressions on their screens for shekels

theyll be roped third in line after the traitors and commies

Back in the day if you didn't like someone you would just not hang out with their character or ban them from talking to you.
Lots of games didn't even have bans, so you just had to deal with it or go elsewhere.
It IS wrongthink because you're not allowed to be a dumbass.

I miss when we permabanned irredeemable idiots from life, made things a much better place.

Not just iPhone but generally computing got way too fucking easy. It wish it would go back to times where it was just hobby for super nerds and internet was wild west.

normies are the goy cattle being milked for ad-servs and impressions on their screens for shekels

Normies think phones can read their minds to show them ads. They're retarded.
But this current level of tech shit is Too Complicated™ for normies all the same.

no people were very much still banned for stuff like that kiddo. Again, fuck niggers, but thats not wrongthink. go and google it and stop being a brainlet

It's very possible. You just need to make websites programs instead of a URL + http structure.
I have a dream of a Anon Babble-like site which is live and would run as an independant program on the desktop, like IRC did back in the day

Bro what a gay company i had nick on 1.6 "Officer Feral Nigger" and never got banned everybody is touche this days.

Companies are liable for the communities and behaviors they allow.
Its irrelevant if you agree with the rules or not, you sign a term of service contract to play it and are expected to behave like a normal person within a shared game world.
He willingly chose to break the rules, for no gain at all, he is a complete idiot.

Yeah no one got banned from TF2, Quake, Unreal Tournament, etc. for having a potty name. Even major guilds in MMORPGs that are T-rated like WoW had spicy guild names up until roughly 6-10 years ago.

It's clear they thought normal people had too much control over their computers. It's a way to make you powerless on the internet. I switched to a Linux based OS, back in 2010, and never looked back.

back to your dung hut where you were sold from, bumper lips

Companies are liable for the communities and behaviors they allow.

That's explicitly untrue otherwise Facebook would already be shut down along with Instagram, Snapchat, OnlyFans, etc.

You just got used to being told what to do, admit it.

you obviously weren't there for the old internet. it's basically like they took a beautiful homogeneous society and flooded it with indians and niggers

those companies didn't depend on ad revenue, public image, and so forth.
Now they do. As such they had to clean their act, which they did.
Spicey names is fine, racist names isn't.
Is it really so hard to use a name that isn't retarded like that?

Yes, I instantly saw it for faggotry. Same with emoticons switching to being called emojis. At the time I primarily blamed Apple and their band of merry retards, and I'm sure that was still the start of it, but it's also true that everything started getting worse around the same time.

Theoretically you can just make telnet program.
There are still some telnet games and services this could work same.

lincucks

If you were a chad you would have learned BSD.
You're moving the goalposts. First you said they couldn't allow it. Now they -can- but don't allow it because of some nebulous reason.
Your argument isn't convincing, it's not because of any purpose that you can articulate but rather personal preference.

Hey, leave Lindsey Graham out of this, mane. It's not fair.

1:1 correlation. My internal definition of "app" is "program, but shittier".

boogies

That's a new one on me, I like it.

Yeah but telnet wouldn't cloak the IPs which is necessary for people not to get shit on by using such an application.

That's what Apple always called their software.

you're a retard and dont understand what server admins and player mods are, and that they are human and just ban people for any reason at all.

If there was a child on my tf2 server with the name niggerdicks screaming in voice and talking about his fat asian dad is SAS I would ban you instantly.

mods in WoW did the exact same thing. grow up.

Go have an argument with those companies risk managers, not me.
And private groups/adult sites is a different thing entirely from an open game world.
I don't even disagree in essence with what you say, but it is clearly against ToS and the punishment is as described.
He made a choice, he faced the consequence. Don't cry about it.
No one forced him to play retard roulette. Right or wrong is irrelevant.

yup that would be a problem.

you're the one taking video games for kids seriously and telling people to grow up

ha. sneer.

This. I rum programs, not apps. Apps are for children.

If there was a child on my tf2 server with the name niggerdicks screaming in voice and talking about his fat asian dad is SAS I would ban you instantly.

But not Valve.

Go have an argument with those companies risk managers, not me.

"I miss when we permabanned irredeemable idiots from life, made things a much better place."
Stop saying retarded shit that you can't back up then, dumbass lol.

Mobile killed desktop.

Eternal September.
Mass access is always a bad thing. Then again 80% of the users here are also normies who just happened to be failures, and think they aren't normies.
This place has gone to shit since 2011, and complete shit since 2016. Eternal election.
We will never get it back from normies.

BSD is good at least for now you don't have to be worry that some troon will rewrite your programs into Rust or block you out of project because you have opinions that he deemed bad...

Your inability to understand something so basic is not my burden to carry or my time to waste explaining it further, you don't get it, sure.

Oh was that me crying about getting banned or the one telling it like it is?

This place has gone to shit since 2011, and complete shit since 2016. Eternal election.

It was awful back in 2016 you retard. I remember "Qanon" posting which was perhaps the dumbest and most niggerlicious thing of all time, second to "Chanology" which was what, 2011?
And before that it was what?
WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
DESUDESUDESU

You have rose-tinted glasses on and a low IQ to boot.

yoy dont have a bill of rights like we do. ill consneed the point about ad revenue, but there are a lot of people that will tell them to go eat shit making us agree to trample on our bill of rights. paid for in blood by good men. in the name of kikery and communism. they can fuck off, and i will not buy their products for me or my family.

Your inability to understand something so basic is not my burden to carry or my time to waste explaining it further, you don't get it, sure.

Boring-ass "I'm actually so smart that I lose arguments" cope.

"I miss when we permabanned irredeemable idiots from life, made things a much better place."

And I maintain what i said. Someone who is so stupid they cannot grasp consequence, and choose for no gain at all, make stupid decisions, is someone who will only cause problems to others.
Ancient societies got rid of them real fast for a reason.

Fuck off Neeson

Another reason zoomers need the rope

Apple is for fags though. I want to transfer to the timeline where Commodore and Acorn survived.

if blathering about "growing up" in a sphere of childrens toys is "telling it how it is" then sure thing--

kid.

Yeah that invalidates your argument top-to-bottom though, dummy-ass. No one was ever permabanned, it was always just some faggots seething. Now the faggots demand to be able to seethe at you to the max. Not for any reason, mind you.

This

Its part of human rights, free speech is not unique to the USA.
Sure, they all died so some retard could for no reason at all use knowingly racist names in a video game character in breach of a games terms of service.
What a wild argument.

that flag

that name

It got worse the moment brown poop hands touched it.

nothing wild here

the restraint of the power of the government is both literal and absolute.

No, it does not. You are missing the point and talking in a different stream, which is why I cba to explain it.

shut the fuck up kid you weren't around for any of that

phonefags ruined the internet.
layouts suck ass
vertical videos are for retards.

You should probably chop your dick off and start taking estrogen if you think people typing "nigger" online is a problem that needs solving.

because main frames and personal computers are totally the same

nobody ever got fired for buying blue

go fuck yourself you contrarian cunts

I don't disagree in principle, but there aint no government involved in any of this. Its a video game made by a company that specifies in its term of usage to not behave like a lil shit and if you do you get barred from access to their environment.
Which he did, and he did. Its pretty clear cut, no freedoms or liberties being infringed upon or governments involved.
Freedom isn't being unaccountable.

Stfu, its post 2000 thing
"apps" were never a thing till smart phonefaggery

Electron apps.

Every single program is an app because of those shitty ram clogging software frameworks.

where did i say that typing nigger is a problem that needs solving you gargantuan faggot?
I said theres action, and consequence, based on terms of use he agreed on, he acted the fool and he found out.
Fuck him. Everything else is beyond what im saying, and retarded activism, go shout elsewhere about your feelings being hurt that some random moron got banned for using racist language
Holy shit its not complicated.

That's why I bought a macbook instead. Stuff just works instantly with no lag.

it became popular after the iphone when it breached the masses, the term app itself was used on the record since the 80s, in my memory since at least 96ish amongst internet nerds when it wasnt a place for everyone yet.

phonefags ruined the internet.

layouts suck ass

vertical videos are for retards

FALSE
true
true

i can sit atop a mountain hiding with my AR15 in hand. Miles into the forest. next ridge over is a 5G+ repeater. turn the phone brightness to minimum, calling all of you niggers a bunch of faggots while i simultaneously call out coyotes with my e-Caller. can even use bluetooth on a speaker

or i can go for a jog and shitpoast.

it's simple

I trust chinks with technology more than i trust jeets with technology.
Do i enjoy either? no.
mac just works and you know it's spyware.
windows pretends it works and tries to act like it's not spyware, despite the spyware being over a hundred times more.

Every app is a bundled Electron piece of shit nowadays.

the idea is to have your personal computer online, and the physical computers to be merely terminals, that you can use any computer anywhere and access your own from it.
Its an interesting idea in concept with decent business/enterprise application, but shit in execution and with a fair amount of problems.
It will probably work well for businesses, for personal use is cancer.

there's no government involved

just DEI hires

and diversity mandates

and selective grant giving

and selective tax enforcement

and USAID contracts

KEK. Why do you think the government pushes all of the above, and bans you for pointing it out?

yeah I remember booting up windows XP and being appalled at the big baby toy looking buttons

Ive been into computers since 1983 and I'd say in the mid 2000s I started hearing the term "killer app" in trade magazines. At first I had no idea what it meant then realized it meant an essential program that improves the platforms commercial viability. Yeah, gay.

But now that's all you see. App this. App that. Its so fucking lame.

unironically miss flash, you could 19809834908093908 effects on screen and it was fine.
Nowadays you use more than 10 particles and your computer shits itself

lmao PC were around in the fucking 80s you fucking child

What? Windows 98 was notoriously unstable and cumbersome. It was losing drivers and crashing, often requiring a full system format every week. Windows XP is the turning point for Microsoft. It was Microsoft's first perennial OS that can run smoothly for over a year without needing to be reformatted.

muh racism

I think you're probably a woman. Tits or GTFO.

Reminder niggers beaners and Pakis are a million times more racist than posting nigger online. They actually commit racial terrorist attacks, then your government throws you in jail for talking about it. RETARD

i want to do bad things to whoever came up with dynamic web design. looks like shit on PC browser

LEL ofc feral nigger. thats even better than blacktimus crime

What's funny about that is it didn't just kick people offline. It BSoD'd them. I used to do that to people on IRC back around 96/97. Hope their PCs boot sector died.

its just a short for application, also been using since 90s and i've heard it a few times before the 2000s, was just uncommon. Things weren't centralized, standardized and homogenized.
Companies called things different names. I dont think thats the problem at all.
The problem is making things accessible to the general public, when you are making things for everyone including the 50% under 100 IQ population that is too stupid to have power like, customization, in their hands, the clear path is to reduce attrition as much as possible, which means making simple one directional user journeys and keeping them on rails, and remove all options as much as possible beyond light/dark and colors.
That way the retard wont break the app and complain about it online, you don't have to deal with 839340 bad reviews from retards who got themselves stuck.
That, and its much easier to develop software that has 20 permutations compared to one that has 200000

nigger is widely accepted as a racist word, regardless of how you feel. Why play these games, are you stupid?
Cant give you tits, im not american i dont have gyno from being a fucking fat lardass, but i can send you a cock pic if you really want

brit cuck cares more about being racist in a fantasy video game than brown people committing terrorism against white people, for racial regions

Sasuga

kek

*terrorism in real life for racial reasons

dies in terrorist attack

at least I wasn't called racist!

ok, you are stupid, got it.

Left is an app, right is a program.
Learn the difference, it could save your life.

Yes
IIRC, it was around the same time datelines/timestamps were replaced with "relative time" in posts, tweets, blog articles, and online news stories.

wrong, 98SE was fine, if you fucked it up that was your fault

XP was when MS finally used the NT kernel for their mainstream OS, so yeah, huge gain on performance and stability.

Ok boomer.

I dont disagree with it, but names and terms change.
Aluminum was the old term, then it changed to aluminium, and now an entire nation pronounces it wrong.
Doesn't matter what it was, only what it is. At this point you are just an old man shouting at clouds, no one cares, or will care.
Its app, regardless of how you feel about it.
theres better hills to waste your time on, but if that one is comfy and you like it, go for it, i respect it.
Just dont be surprised if no one cares.

true.

top kek
burn down activision blizzard

you're thinking of win ME (millennium edition) not 98se

i cannot count how many times i had to wipe, like i ate nothing but jeet food for an entire week. that os was similarly suxj a pile of shit

Aluminum was the old term

For about 5 seconds, people threw around "alumium" and all sorts when they were trying to fit it in the system.

Thank you for the concession, faggot.

I mean Win98SE. it was still ghastly and unstable. All depending on the installed software and drivers. It was crashing and requiring a reformat if you install hardware drivers in a wrong order, such as installing 56K modem driver before sound card driver. It was fucking up entire OS that can only be solved by a reformat.

Also, you had to turn it off and reboot if you play a game and wanted to play something else and hope that previous game didn't leave any junk that fucks up the OS. Shit was terrible.

Computers have always been shit and slow when the OS first comes out. It always took a few years for PCs to catch up with whatever new crap Microsoft published. These days computers just stopped caching up and the bloat is noticeable even a few years after release.

I love it when a page loads and you start reading, and it always reloads again in 8 seconds (because muh ADs) and sends you to the top of the page
...
Bitch i have ADBLOCK anyway
And Java script disabler for sites like dailymail.com

That hilarious story when Dude got locked out of his amazon "smart house"

I wish there were method of punishing sites that aren't HTML-compliant because they use Blink/Chrome-specific JS and CSS additions that are out of spec.

I remember a dude who put a meter on his Samsung washing machine and it consumed over 3GB of data in a few weeks. Top fucking kek.

Also the industry loves to find news and creative ways to stealth brick your system so you have to buy a new one.

The push for https ten years ago was a pretty blatant example.

that reminds me a lot of MSDOS when you had expanded and extended memory allocations and if they were wrong everything would take a fat shit on you

Yes. And before that they renamed "My Computer". Also, install began saying a lot of shit like "we are setting up xyz" and referring to the PC like it wasn't yours.

I knew this was coming long before that though, which is why I switched to [none of your business]

Idk what you were doing with it but it worked fine for me, played tons of games, used mIRC, forum posts, never had to reinstall. Yes it bluescreened occasionally but that was fine and part of the charm

People still do that ?
Didn’t know we were back in the 90s.

The cattle is going to love W11.

LUL that shitstorm that caused

see, , this is what you get with the "but you agreed to it!!1!" terms of service apologist line of surrendering rifhrs

Yes.
People used to call it a fisher price interface.

I just bought a 2002 Toyota SW4 with a little over 100.000 KM from an old lady (the car belonged to her late husband and was just sitting in her garage for years). Had to order a truck to move it almost 2000km in another state but fuck it. I refuse to own plastic spyware shit and old toyotas last forever.

Yes, it's been going on overtly for about a decade now. Google's doing the same shit MS did with IE as part of their strategy to force everyone into their browser ecosystem. Only difference is now instead of angry nerds who instantly smell shit that someone is trying to track into their house, most internet users are attention whores with no sense of self-preservation and a vested interest in following wherever the herd goes.

It's short for you're a faggot. It's a program that you run.

You can see how the jeetification really took off once soiphones became popular + started getting widely adopted in late 2012-early 2013ish

I hate these fucking devices and what they did to the world

They were called programs and applications. "App" became popularized to NPC goyphone users.

Yes, we all have.

Graphene OS seems to be pretty interesting and as far as PC goes you can either go Linux mint or if you need to use Windows just run a debloat script to kill all the telemetry and bullshit apps. Make sure to only run a debloat from a reputable source ofc it's not hard to find on GitHub.

Another good reason to keep my anti-JS browser extensions active, then. Thanks for the head up.

2000km forget how big brazil is sometimes

those things are stupid expensive, at least in peru. friend of mine, both me and him had new ones of those tacomas here. In peru, a used old one like that would cost something like 2x as much in USD. he said because they stopped allowing imports of old vehicles from USA. so you'd see something like that cost unironically $15k in burgerbucks equivalent. he was showing the ads i couldn't believe the price on those toyotas. can youn jist have one imported in brazil or do they tax you to death/not allow it

Debloat are bad practice. origin is one problem + you can’t never really be sure you got 100% of the malware, and now you are stuck with an OS you cannot update.

Bad solution to a real problem.

Yep

Great meme edit

i noticed win10 doesn't let you save files into C:/ what the fuck is that kike shit

You are so full of shit

Ask your parents for admin rights ?

Also drop-down menus were increasingly replaced with retarded symbols and many programs had severely reduced usability and efficiency. Windows was really being pushed onto casuals. They even got rid of taskbar toolbars, which ended up killing productivity while multitasking. Everything became an opportunity to hand-hold the user and talk to them and escort them around like they were visitors to a foreign nation and not just using their fucking computer in the privacy of their own home.

Windows 8 was the beginning of the end for me, and when I seriously started shifting over. I'd been dual booting for years but 8 was when I really began moving as much as possible. I was completely (((Microsoft)))-free by the time Windows 10 released.

He doesn't know

Remember how Gamergate not only revealed some whore hiding an indie clique, but that blizzard was funding them?

thats the thing i have admin rights anon

A bunch of browns (with increasing pop) mad at jews aint improving my qol

All I know is that Windows Explorer takes seconds to load when all I want to do is view my files because they added so much extra shit, including online shit, that was completely unnecessary.

What's wrong with this? Yall just stuck in the past.

search on website

get nothing related to query

search on google with website name

get real results

search google for something

get nothing related to query...

any website incl image search, click image

image is modal pop up'd

image is the same size or smaller than the original

One of the most immediate places you can see it is the cloudflare bot check. They changed it in January to detect "legit" browsers by testing against known bugs and bad data results that came from poking Blink improperly with JS. Anything not based on Blink didn't get past the check(the latest Firefox and iPhone/Mac Safari were given special exemptions in the check to pass them without a test). There was a lot of complaining and reporting the issue, and CF finally fixed it, but they've done this before. They'll do it again, and eventually the day will come where they say they don't care and browsers that are 100% within specs won't be allowed on a lot of sites because they're not using a specific rendering engine.

It's the same shit here. Impossible to bring a car over from the US. I payed almost 80k BRL for my truck bear in mind the minimum wage here is like 1500 a month just so you understand how expensive that is to normal people. If you're poor here you basically have to either take the bus or get a moped if you're lucky.
Interesting. I've debloated mine and I can update everything no problem. Granted, you're right it's not an actual fix. Linux is the only real way out.

That’s also the time that most whites started coming online

Yes encouraged by win 8

Have you tried using Adobe PDF reader? It's fucking harrowing. I need to sign documents pretty much daily with a token and I fucking dread every time I need to open that piece of shit app.

There's no way you can just use OpenOffice? Company won't allow it?

i noticed it was shit after windows 98

Win 98 was bullshit too. Windows peaked with Windows 2000.

Rangebanning india needs to be mandatory for all websites.

I own my own law practice but here in Huezil every judicial procedure turned digital for quite some time and the app that we have to use only works on windows. Were that not the case I would be using linux.

So like web apps?

did you try running the app (fuck I just did it) in a VM?

that's about the time when they started firing all the white people and replacing them with H1B jeets

Ummm, sweaty...actually the word "application" was introduced to the English lexicon in 1142 by Sir William McRetard. So actually you are wrong and I'm actually really smart. So actually it WAS in use before 2000

Okay, that’s worrying. Especially given the state of the browsers market in 2025.

I’m fucking going to sandbox everything I can. I already use a VPN, next step will be to use VM snapshots for anything web-related.

jesus christ man, so i wasnt the only one they were trying to fuck over. everything woke turns to shit, they will pay for it in their corp bottom line eventually.

never buying their trash again

No. I just never upgraded my work computer to linux just kept using windows normally and just recently debloated it bc all the added bullshit was eating away my RAM like crazy. I linux on my personal pc though. I have just a few problems here and there with some AAA games like Starfield but other than that lutris works fine.

That's what qubes OS tries to do. No gaming though.

You don’t really care about the bottom line when you own most of the major corpos *and* the money supply.

cool. I don't really play modern games anymore so everything I want to play runs in lutris (kek) natively or in WINE

....this is a blackrock vanguard kikenstein situation, isnt it. with only one way out.

apps and programs refer to two different things, aluminum just changed pronunciation but it's still the same fucking word refering to the same fucking thing you retarded zoomer faggot, bet you fucking stupid fuck ask for pronouns

Acorn lives on in the form of ARM SoCs.

OpenOffice is available for Windows as well.

Based. I barely play anymore but I like some modern stuff like age of empires definitive edition, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Elder Scrolls remastered. My wife likes starfield, stardew valley but I've never played them myself.
Have a good one anon :)

Lol who cares about that when Jew awareness is at an all time since pre WW2

you know you can have both and probably more if browsers weren't so bogged down and laggy.
TKD

Is it worth making the change though? I own Office 2019 not the goyim maxx Office 365 that you have to pay monthly.

DESU open office is heavily inferior. For example it doesn't have tables in the same way. You can have auto filters, but last I checked there's only 1 per workbook lage which is ASS.
It gets me by for personal use.

*per workpok page

lucky sob

bought office 2007 enterprise on DVD for $20 thru institutional deal when working with govt

all yoy can eat buffet version with access, execl, everything. all ms products

still use it today

thanks bro. Oh yeah I play stardew on my linux machine and civ 5&6 (6 got pretty gay with the globohomo undertones and kiddy art style)

There's a program called "Remote Desktop" that allows you to remotely log into, say, your work computer. It's been renamed "Windows App". Of course it's an app, you don't need to put that in the title. And it's not actually windows, and the windows part of it is not an app, it's a whole different operating system on a whole different computer.

The whole thing makes me think that there's some idiot out there who's like "how do I Windows?" and some other idiot five points less stupid tells him, "oh, that's easy. You use Windows App."

Oh no we can now download a game with one click and install it within 10 minutes how terrible! The past was so much better guys!

no longer tolerant

implying they ever were

Travis is such a dildo inhaler.

fpbp

Well that's up to you since you were the one complaining. I don't know how badly you hate using it. You don't have to install the entire suite, you can just install one component. Use both if you want, it makes no difference. Keep the entire office suite installed and install OpenOffice right alongside it, all or in part. It's up to you.

Y'all are just old. Computers are better than ever in every way, and if you want more privacy there's always easy workarounds for all of that.

You can do anything you've ever done before but faster.

windows has just updated

your computer will restart in 30 seconds

no, you can't cancel this

isyd

Application. But why not call it gateway or anus.

Windows 95 and 98 were guis for 32 bit dos.
Here have at it archive.org/details/windows-98-se-isofile

Ubuntu desktop lts is all you need.

Hypervisors and filesystems are not the same thing.

yeah that's why you could drop down into dos
