If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Hilarious, same crap has been preached for years. In years past it was called 4GL, Visual Programming, etc. Blah, Gahhhh. Poke me in the eye with a stick.

Government can give you nothing but what it takes from somebody else. A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you've got, including your freedom.-Ezra Taft Benson
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

What a load of crap. The Windows Installer mechanism has been an over-engineered, under-documented, and poorly-supported load of garbage since its inception. Its purpose is to support installing Office, SQL Server, and a few other Microsoft products, and that's it.
The notion that all Windows application developers should use it for their applications is absurd. I'll admit it's been several years since I tried it, but at the time it was very difficult to get it to do certain things: install device drivers, services, change global Windows settings, and so on.
I'll continue to use Inno Setup[^], thank you very much.

Brave has just taken a step towards supporting a decentralized web, by becoming the first browser to offer native integration with a peer-to-peer networking protocol that aims to fundamentally change how the internet works. A brave move?

This plan brings together input from many stakeholders and outlines where and how we intend to invest for the Entity Framework (EF Core) 6.0 release. When one of your 'new' features is, "we'll try to make it as fast as the competition", I think the universe is telling you something

Microsoft is looking forward “to learning, growing, and earning our place in open source.” That should cause a few (more) heads to explode
Anything that stops people from writing 'Micro$oft' is a good thing in my mind.

So happy enough with offshoring the Q&A and beta testing to the users, they now try to offshore the bugfixing too?

It's all part of their green power program.
They're trying to get Balmer to stroke out, so they can hook a generator to his body as it spins in the grave.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It turns out Microsoft Teams still collects extremely detailed per-user usage data, and that this data remains available to managers. There's no 'I' in 'privacy' (oh...wait)

Worse yet, that stupid software insists that I am "away" while I actually work on my machine. I took a screen shot of that - how can I do a screenshot while being "away"?

The laptops on our desks are hundreds of thousands of times more powerful than the desktop computers we had in the 1980s and 1990s. But the interfaces are more or less the same. So...yes on rounded corners?

Yes. And a system-modal dialog box with flashing red text for each participant. Myspace, but newerized.

Quote: “General purpose user interfaces in every application except for gaming have made no strides, no quantum leaps, since 1984,” Underkoffler told VentureBeat in 2018. “That’s the year that Apple turned the command line interface into the GUI, the graphical user interface. Everything that has come after has been a step to the side.”
That degree of ignorance from venturebeat doesn't surprise me, but I didn't realize dropbox was that incompetent too.

But then Xerox made a prototype
Steve Jobs came on the scene
Read "Of Mice and Menus," Windows, Icons
A trash, and a bitmap screen
Well Stevie said to Xerox
"Boys, turn your heads and cough."
And when no-one was looking
He ripped their interfaces off
