IMO do not submit unless you have an insidet referee. Even that does not always guarantee an interview, but still better.

They have long adopted the mindset to get users as free beta testers. Long gone the tradition that quality matters.

Just electronic signals, not true wealth.

Oh I rememeber in one of the games, one of the girls would say ganba ganba something at the end of each battle. I didn't understand it back then but I loved it.

I'm not sure how decentralization helps though. People in a bazzar are going to care even less about sharing shadow knowledge. Linux IMO succeeds not because of the bazaar but because of Linus.

I kinda think most companies out there are like that. Moving fast is the motto I heard the most.

They are probably OK with occasional breaks as long as customers don't mind.

I picked the same strategy for Windows. I remember I was still on 2000 when XP is hot, and still on XP when 8 is available, and now I use 10 and this is going to be my last Windows as 11 is too shitty and I suspect 12 and beyond are going to be worse.

What does Asahi lack for M1 boxes? I bought a used M1 pro and is itchy to try it out!

Is it true there is a rumor about the next release being mostly a bug/perf fix?

Actually Windows would be much more lovely if MSFT keeps the Windows 7 core and just release security fixes and bug fixes. In the forseeable future, 64-bit should be enough. And I already had everything I need on Windows 7.

Having read Showstoppers a few times, I wish Apple had a David Cutler that mows on developers' asses if their code is too buggy.

Kinda all large system projects need someone similar to get things done properly.

I wish they do burn a lot of trust to show up in their financial reports. Otherwise it is like "we do not like it but gonna use it anyway".

I cold turkeyed once and did not feel much except for the first few days, probably because I am not a heavy drinker.

However, I picked it up later because I always want to drink something with taste, and the mix of coffee, some milk and sometimes a bit of sugar does provide satisfaction without feeling the guity of gaining weight.

Ballmer is definitely gold.

I'm surprised Windows 2000 was not mentioned. That was the first Windows that doesn't crash very often and I kept it for many years, until like 2007 I think.

Yeah I agree with that. And I'd argue that it is still the same nowadays. People at the top probably knows clearly which interest group they are in, and which group they can rally up, and which ones they need to fight to the death -- even if they all belong to the same nationality -- and I'm not surprised if local interest groups ally with "foreign" interest groups to fight another local interest group. It is blurred.
