“Source??? Source??? Source???”

Whoa, somebody get this man 50ccs of Source before he goes into Source Withdrawal

I have no ihea how much it weighs, but it was real. Apparently very useful for Phantasy Star Online, it might even have been indended for it but I can’t be sure.

He who does not pirate software steals from himself

It’s The Guardian, they were probably paid to advertise for Threads

The Android Open Source Project and all of its resources wouldn’t go anywhere, it would just lose its biggest parasite.

Both of the people who ever bought the Bandai Wonderswan Color will be delighted to know the Golden Axe port is decent

Don’t be sanctimonious about your choice in cell phone, it’s weird. Also, I’m typing this from a phone that has a headphone jack and a microSD slot

Forums, the fediverse, your own website, and perhaps most controversially of all, outside.

All these AIs are going to produce is incoherent, poorly written, unresearched puff pieces abaut topic-adjacent garbage. In other words, we won’t even be able to tell when the switch happens.

Personally I would prefer guillotines and pikes

Sorry man, they’re too young to get it

You need to sharpen your reading comprehension skills, I don’t have any problem with Apple and their products are fine. The 1st and 2nd get iPhones were less functional than the devices they purported to supplant by a wide margin, and the 3GS was the first actually good device they made. That’s all right there in the text, you just have to look with your eyeballs and put the words through the critical thinking part of your brain instead of the emotional reaction part. Even in 2007 it was laughable that you couldn’t connect to WiFi with a purported smart device. Its feature base sucked ass till the 3GS, and now they’re fine; the only reason I don’t use an iPhone is because I prefer auditable FOSS, hence I use an Android device with an AOSP-based ROM and no Gplay Services. If it wasn’t for that, the iPhone would be a fine alternative.

On this day in 2007 smartphones took a nosedive in functionality that they took years to recover from. The first iPhone was especially bad, by modern standards it wasn’t even a smartphone, it was a feature phone with a touchscreen. And the discourse was horrible, to the point where people still think the iPhone changed the market. It didn’t, it wasn’t the first phone of its type and it was rushed to release to beat out other smartphones that would have otherwise eaten Apple’s lunch. I had a Nokia E70 in 2007, a time when the culture around using Apple products was even more elitist than it is today, and it was beyond annoying to be told shit like “well you don’t really need to be able to copy and paste text, or record video, or record voice notes, or install third-party apps, that’s all just bloat” by brand loyalists who really needed me to know why my phone was actually worse than an iPhone for being able to do those things. If we’re going to celebrate the iPhone for innovating and being a decent product, I agree, but that didn’t happen till the 3GS came out.

8:43 A.M. and already this is the dumbest thing I’ll read all day.

No, tell us anyway
