Remember a time when he was the worst person on the Supreme Court?

I miss those times.

When people shit on Apple - esp Jobs - they forget that it was Jobs who directed the company to fight the FBI to protect our right to on-device encryption. And the FBI backed down because they knew if they went to the Supreme Court, chief Justice, Antonin Scalia, who was a huge supporter of encryption, would guarantee any challengers to that right would lose.

The political climate is different today, but because of Apple fighting for the right of every person to have on device encryption, we all owe him a debt.

Yes, Steve Jobs and chief Justice Antonin Scalia were both immeasurable pieces of shit, but some good came from them. And it’s a lasting good that will ensure the rights of individuals to encrypted their own data, possibly for generations.

Again, I’m not defending either jobs nor Scalia, they were terrible people. But they did do some good.

Which is what makes it particularly disgusting when an LGBTQ-aligned individual commits such horrendous acts.

Bad gay!

When you’re a traitor to your own kind for the sake of an unquenchable thirst for profit, you become an enemy to LGBTQ+ folks. Siding with the neo-Nazis only makes it worse.

Fuck you, Tim Apple

Steve Jobs would have fired you the instant he thought you might do this. He might’ve been a legendary prick for his entire career, but at least he had a set of ethics and morals.

Most planes do have green and red lights on the tips of their wings.

They also have lights on their front and on their tail. This allows for those looking to see all 4 “corners”.

I think you’re forgetting Stargate technology…

Considering that USENET goes back to the 70s, and bittorrent was invented in 2001, one of these things is clearly ancient and the other isn’t.

With your first sentence, I can say you’re wrong. My 1997 era DX4-75 MHz ran redhat wonderfully. And SUSE, and Gentoo.

As the rest? You don’t know what an AI/LLM would’ve looked like on a processor from the era. No one even thought of it then. That doesn’t mean it can’t run it. It just means you can’t imagine that.

Fortunately, I do not lack imagination for what could be possible.

Imagine how much better it would run on a similar era version of redhat, gentoo, or beos.

They just proved that the hardware was perfectly capable, in the absolute garbage middle layer-the operating system is what matters about propelling the potential of the hardware forward into a usable form.

Many people may not remember, but there were a few Lins distributions around at the time. Certainly, they would have been able to make better use of the hardware had enough developers worked on it.

I’m not reading all of that.

I hope you feel better

It seems like you might be confusing the concept of transmission speed with available bandwidth. And also sounds like maybe you should recuperate from the flu and feel better. Getting upset about this isn’t worth it.

1997 because my university had broadband in the dorms.

I haven’t used either iTunes or Windows in a couple of decades. Who cares?
