Everything is perfect here. The hero, the graphics, the title... <3

I like the theme too. In general, author does not seem to follow typical rules. In my opinion, this is a huge bonus for him as an artist.

Sorry for the off-topic, but I wish our FreeBSD camp could roll back a little from this faux-corporate glass ball without soul and a font from the early 90s spaceship toy box, to Beastie and a stylish serif. What I was trying to say - I'm in envy. OpenBSD artwork is absolutely amazing!


For me the word becquerel itself requires some additional brain power points to write. Is it bequerel or becquerel? Do we capitalize it or not? Not when written, but Bq is capitalized, so it's indeed kBq. But then again, is it per second? No, the unit, has per second in it already... And we not need to confuse it with B for byte. I thoroughly enjoyed the article but there's no need to complicate the world further. rps is perfectly fine.


I don't understand this - where's Trident VGA?


It's surprising to see an OS, dominant as a sever platform, now optimizing catering to people who are unsure whether they've pressed a button on their keyboard. What's next, replacing asterisks with a progress bar?


You are down-voted, but if we consider this to be the reason, it is indeed sad.

You can no longer filter out power users of computers based on their choice of OS alone. :D

My DigitalOcean FreeBSD droplet chugging along: 7:25AM up 1707 days, 15 hrs, 5 users, load averages: 0.30, 0.21, 0.17

Too bad they dropped support for it.


They'll just come up with round displays. Like on PDP-1.


finally, we can run SPACEWAR on macOS as it was always intended to be run.


Apple is no longer about Jobs' "simplicity as the ultimate sophistication". It feels like a bunch of kids with no proper design education competing for the security of their salaries. Apple is dead without Steve. The company has no focal point. They're running solely on the inertia from Mac OS X and the first generations of the iPhone.


That's a pretty extreme take. I've been using the Mac since about 2001. I like Tahoe and a well designed Tahoe app can look really nice on the platform. There are bugs, inconsistencies and other issues, but it doesn't feel that different than many previous macOS / OS X releases


You've been a Mac user since the original candy iMacs and you don't see the company design ethos slipping in the last five years?


Sorry for the off-topic, but what a bliss to see Windows 2000 interface. And what an absolute abomination from hell pretty much all the modern UIs are.


My god that interface feels like home.


Yeah. Microsoft really went downhill UI-wise.


They’re hardly the only ones.


win2000 brings back so many good memories.


Is that even remotely relevant to JSLinux?


Yes, it's one of the available emulated systems on JSLinux.


If you'd clicked the link, instead of just reading the title, you'd have known it was.


Same. Still a great pleasure to see those ads from the past. Nothing compared to ads today.
