https://linuxreviews.org/Apple%27s_CUPS_Repository_Has_Died_A_Quiet_Death
I don't know where I found this link, but it's important news: #Apple's main #CUPS repository (on #GitHub) has very few commits since the main dev left late last year. There's a new CUPS fork at OpenPrinting.org

Also remember: the #FreeSoftware community introduced the first #OpenMoko months before #Apple launched #iPhone — and #GreenPhone months before that. Even with major... debut foibles, they were amazing—not just technically, but also socially: https://www.mail-archive.com/gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org/msg26330.html

!TIL that Steve Jobs named his company "Apple" partially because he wanted it to appear in the phone book before #Atari, his former workplace. - https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-archive-name-apple-2011-12 #apple

With patents like these, #Microsoft can go after #Apple, #Google and #Samsung (no cross-licensing) and demand a ‘share’ of revenue from GNU/Linux devices. Microsoft not only can do it; this is exactly what Microsoft already does. This is why Microsoft is stockpiling patents.

Einfach nur unglaublich: Was hat uns #Windows beeinflusst in der "Gestaltung" und "Wahrnehmung" von Programmrückmeldungen. Ich selbst habe lange genug das ebenso als "gegeben" hingenommen. Was wird denn wirklich als Information dem Nutzer angeboten beispielsweise bei Aktualisierungen? Ein mehr oder minder hübsches Hintergrundbild, ein Form der Fortschrittsanzeige und vielleicht eine Textinformation wie "Update wird installiert" oder "Optimierung wird vorgenommen". Was passiert aber im Hintergrund? Welche Änderungen werden denn wirklich vorgenommen? Genau diese Information bleiben verborgen und genau das passt auch wirklich hinein in eine immer weiter voranschreitende Simplifizierung von Informationen und deren Verarbeitung. Heutzutage heißt es doch: "Das will der Nutzer Alles doch gar nicht wissen!" Ja, mag sein. Aber "wir" als Nutzer werden doch vornehmlich auch dazu sprichwörtlichst erzogen. Wir wissen gar nicht me…

Speaking of trying out all the emulators, I'm a bit of a fan of those which run in the browser. Full-screen the browser and you get the feeling of just having the machine to yourself. There's a hundred or so catalogued here, from the usual 8bit suspects, to early Unix capable machines, even earlier machines, 16 bit machines - you name it!

Apparently, pimping out a 2013 stock Mac Pro and adding an external GPU box makes it both faster and significantly cheaper than getting a 2016 Mac Pro with everything maxed out. http://u.daggsy.com/SV
Pretty much shows that #Apple doesn't give a FrankerZ about non-mobile performance anymore. -

Last Saturday I think I understood exactly why #Apple wants to do away with the headphone jack: Their software sucks.
An enduser was trying to do something so silly as using a video output adapter (HDMI) and simultaneously play audio. I'm assuming the audio came through HDMI, but apparently you couldn't get any audio from the headphone jack. Also, any settings/configuration menu is far too advanced for any Apple user.Monday, 26-Sep-16 20:01:57 UTC from social.umeahackerspace.se at 63°49'42"N 20°15'34"E in context Repeated by lnxw48 -
