Avalonia Visual Basic 6 is a recreation of the Visual Basic 6 IDE that also runs in the browser. It looks quite close to the original.

6.7 billion euros: End of Windows 10 as a money printing machine for Microsoft

Regular support for Windows 10 – will soon end and many companies will be paying for millions of their clients. These updates are worthwhile for Microsoft.

#Microsoft bought it for small money, relabeled it as #MSDOS and made their first Millions with it.

Furthermore: #Windows was a rip-off from macOS. And #WindowsNT was a dirty hit in the back while MS was (co-)developing #OS2 for IBM.

Most people don't even know about #Excel and (partly) #Word being a 3rd-party software bought by MS.

The main contribution by MS was not as a software developing company. Their core competence was taking money for something that was for free and widely shared and improved by all sorts of people before. They invented proprietary software, software licenses and mandatory software bundles with hardware with no option not to pay for it.

Whatever software decisions were made on top, were mostly really poor decisions IMO.

This toot is to announce that I have officially divorced Microsoft. I was sick of how they always shared things about me without my permission, and made changes to our relationship without asking first. Then they brought a third party into our relationship and insisted that I rely on the new "person" for advice and help in everything. I tried to tell that "AI" "person" to go away, but they just kept appearing out of nowhere.

Anyway, I kicked them both out, and now I'm living with Linux, who is sweet and always asks for consent before we make any changes to how we live. Linux can do everything that Microsoft can do, and usually does it better. Linux can be a bit quirky, but is open to working things out and having productive conversations. I haven't felt this free in over 20 years.

Finally I can ditch my tired old Sparc station, and switch to #Windows like everyone else!

Introducing SSH2WIN a port of SSH2DOS to #16bit Windows. No win32s here!

This was both harder and easier than I thought it would be.

Official release coming soon, once I clean up some details.

Oui, bon, ok, le titre est (très très légèrement) putaclic, mais il faut bien se faire plaisir de temps en temps ! 😁

C'est probablement une anomalie statistique qui sera mise en évidence avec les chiffres du mois prochain, mais bon, pour une fois ne boudons pas notre plaisir, hein !

Il supporto di Windows 10 terminerà il 14 ottobre 2025.

Microsoft vuole che tu compri un altro computer.

E se invece si riuscisse a rendere di nuovo veloce e sicuro quello attuale?

Who would have thought that anyone would think it is a good idea to ban regulation of AI and algorithmic content? This is a seriously bad idea.

I continue to believe that we should ban user profiling and the use of user profiles for advertising and content algorithms. Given where we are, I think that is the right thing to do and I think more and more are seeing that as the only way to solve the issues we have today.
