Senator Josh Hawley has introduced a bill, the Social Media Addiction Reduction Technology Act (yes, that's SMART Act), that would ban features deemed to be exploitative. It would primarily forbid infinite scrolling, autoplaying media and achievements that don't "substantially" reward users with more content.
Talk about a hero for all the wrong reasons.
Death to infinite scrolling garbage fires and autoplaying video.
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?

Banking institution Capital One has just revealed that it’s suffered a data breach that exposed the names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, dates of birth, and self-reported incomes of approximately 100 million Americans, and 6 million in Canada, due to a “configuration vulnerability” in the servers of an unnamed cloud computing company hosting the bank’s data. Who's in your wallet?

Quote: "Apple will not be given Tariff waiver, or relief, for Mac Pro parts that are made in China,"
Quote: Trump, however, has encouraged companies, including Apple, to bring their manufacturing back to the US. "I told Tim Cook (Apple's CEO), a friend of mine, make your product in the United States. Build those big, beautiful plants that go on for miles it seems," Trump said in January. "China is the biggest beneficiary of Apple, more than us."

Long obsolete and not just a museum piece, an early massive computer developed 60 years ago remains working, thanks to a technician dedicated to preserving it for future generations. Sadly, no port of DOOM (yet)

While the concept of "service classes" probably has some value when it comes to organizing the objects you're dealing with, the idea of a "service layer" has no value at all when it comes to building applications. "But you're gonna have to serve somebody"

Didn't see that one coming. Great song on a great LP. Kudos to you.

OK.
Dev says "I look at it this way, and that's the only way to look at it!"
No problem.
Just tell him to STFU in cross-department meetings.

really? And what are all those "Service Desk" and "Service Hotline" and so on over there? They do take part in software development... (specially slowing it down)

WalkingCat has reported on an upcoming Insider Build, that may soon give users the option to reinstall Windows 10 using data from the cloud. I don't think this is the "Windows in the Cloud" that we were promised

Maybe they'll add options to reinstall weven or XP, too.

windows doesn't provide a program for creating icons and cursors, so I'm thinking of moving to Linux.
I mean, why stick with an operating system that won't let you do the important stuff?
