yea, again not surprised. MS was evil even back then. My first PC 'clone' 2. or 3.something. Small utilities would come out as shareware (donation-ware) if it became popular, MS would soon have it built into the OS, putting independent coders out of business, must have been extremely frustrating as a coder back then.

MS was never first or innovative ever on anything. They took someone else's work and made the same thing and let their marketing and their hold on businesses do the rest. Lotus, Borland, Wordstar, WordPerfect, Netscape... all replaced by inferior crap with clippy.

Windows 3.1, what a freakin' joke. I never understood, except marketing.

@willie959 I got to tell you a story about Bill Gates in the early days. Back in the early 80's there were a handful of dial-up BBS's, bulletin board systems. One of them was written and run by a fellow named Jeff Prothero who went by the name Cynbe Ru Taran. His BBS was unique as it was a room system written in C, the popular language for BBS's in that day was BASIC, usually Microsoft BASIC which actually was a port of Dartmouth BASIC. I had disassembled the Z-80 version to see how the interpreter worked, and wrote a similar language that had communications extensions, but in the process I discovered two things, one the keyboard scan routine consumed a horrid 40% of available CPU time, I fixed that, and val(%something) would cause BASIC to explode. I fixed that. Bill Gates and I were both users of this BBS and had some communications. I offered him my fixes absolutely free, he refused them. Would have made MS Basic run 40% faster for millions of users and fixed a nasty bug, would have cost him nothing. So that was my early introduction to the type of person he was.

Omicron


We've got actual numbers out of South Africa regarding Omicron.

Where 44% of Delta were requiring hospitalization, 1% of Omicron are requiring hospitalization. Of those requiring hospitalization, only 10% require oxygen, only 6% have died, and of those 6% 1/4 of them died from non-covid related issues.

So even including those who died of non-covid related issues, this makes the death rate from the variant .06% which is LESS than the .1% of the standard flu.

And I was hesitant to take a flu vaccine, I sure as hell am not going to take a vaccine with a 500x death and gimp rate of the flu vaccine to protect against something LESS deadly, nor are these ridiculous measures in any way even remotely justified.

Seattle Lake City Walgrens Glasses Theives Bastards


Went into a Walgren Drugs on 145h and Lake City way in Libtardia (Seattle) to pick up a motherboard shipped by FedEx and I had to sign on this tiny device about cell phone sized. I am near sighted so wear glasses to see distant and had to take them off to read the device. Someone lifted them from the counter where I set them so now I have to be blind the rest of December before waiting for a new eye examine and getting glasses made. I hope the bastard breaks them and slices their carotid artery on the shards.

Friday Evening Maintenance 11:30PM


Posted on December 9, 2021

At approximately 11:30PM Friday December 10th, Pacific Time, I will be rebooting the physical hosts which in turn will reboot all the virtual machines. This is necessary because some system library updates that have been recently applied require a system restart to utilize the new code which addresses some Linux security concerns. This should take about ten minutes for all hosts to complete.

This will affect all shell servers, web service, mail service, and friendica.eskimo.com/, hubzilla.eskimo.com/, and nextcloud.eskimo.com/.
