Smartphones happened, along with everything from the financial crash, the Big Bang theory normiefying "nerd culture", the rise of FB, Twitter, and Tumblr, and the infamous "Hackers on Steroids" news report.

The only thing that could fix that would be total smartphone death IMO, which you can make easier by refusing to use a smartphone or maybe even a flip phone for your job.

I know one guy on here would puzzle employers when he told them "nope I don't have a phone". Or just use a SIP line or something.

All the DIscord talk reminds me I really need to work on the one PC98 community project but I keep getting bogged down with everything from work, to having computer repair projects and whatnot in my free time.

I've got a laptop in parts on my desk I need to reassemble, another I'm going to scrap, and a PC-9801ES coming soon as well. I bought another ATX 24-20 pin adapter to modify for PC-98 use and this time a switch that has actual wires that I can solder in and have a clean switch installed somewhere.

@MasterSimper @Tadano @xianc78 the other justification I've seen from a twitter/discord addict on why he hates wikis is nobody will edit them.

Meanwhile some Wikia/fandom wiki for some kids show has tons of pages and screencaps for each character.

- That DΔrn Pooka :verified_think:
It was Apple who pushed the hardest. Google actually for a while had Flash on Android.

Before flash went away in Android and Adobe decided to kill it instead of making it FOSS or some shit because Adobe is a shit company too, memes like this weren't uncommon to mock iToddlers.

2. Thoughts on Flash
  
  "Thoughts on Flash" is an open letter published by Steve Jobs, co-founder and then-chief executive officer of Apple Inc., on April 29, 2010. The letter criticizes Adobe Systems' Flash platform and outlines reasons why the technology would not be allowed on Apple's iOS hardware products. The letter drew accusations of falsehood, hypocrisy, and ulterior motive. In retrospect many publications came to agree with Jobs. Letter On April 29, 2010, Steve Jobs, the co-founder and then-chief executive officer of Apple Inc., published an open letter called "Thoughts on Flash" explaining why Apple would not allow Flash on the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. He cited the rapid energy consumption, computer crashes, poor performance on mobile devices, abysmal security, lack of touch support, and desire to avoid "a third party layer of software coming between the platform and the developer". He touched on the idea of Flash being "open", claiming "by almost any definition, Flash is a closed system". Jobs dismissed the idea that Apple customers are missing out by being sold devices without Flash compatibility by quoting a number of statistics, concluding...

Interesting post from an old indie game dev I saw a while back about why he refused to use later DirectX versions.
https://www.positech.co.uk/cliffsblog/2008/06/11/why-use-directx7-and-dead-links/

"Thirdly, DX7 means everyone who buys the game will have drivers that support the game. I don’t need to package the game with the directx installer or worry about such things. Some people playing indie games on laptops have very low spec cards, and you are best off sticking with DX7 if you can. A LOT of casual games use DX7."

@Rasterman @ArdainianRight @admin @xianc78 the truth is at the same time as poast brought idiots into the fedi, it also acted as a counter to Eugen only bringing in users of one political stance and viewpoint into the fedi.

See the Twitter refugees.
