No, they still exist.

Balls right now. Just balls.

I mean, this all sounds like shit, yes. But sometimes things are only a little bit shit and yet the answer is still “redesign the approach” (ie: start over).

Oh god, I know all of these.

Also fuck Tim Kosse. Bundled Filezilla with malware and fucked up my machine in 2014. Had to reinstall Windows. I’ll never use it again.

I use WinSCP on Windows and Forklift on MacOS.

Tin-foil hat time but I’d be willing to bet they have mechanisms to do something resembling naked shorting with crypto. I have no idea what that voodoo might be, but they conjure shares out of thin air for shorting stocks, and they’ve managed to package crypto into ETFs some-fucking-how so why not. I feel like I’m increasingly noticing that nothing really seems to crash anymore.

Not when you have to make a web app render identically in them, which is what the OP was about.

I deleted my original comment before you replied because I am not really in the mood to defend this but the OP was talking about the pain of developing for different browsers and I don’t care what is a fork of what, this is a fact: Chrome, Firefox and Safari all render differently and have to be catered to individually.

Also, Safari, between desktop and mobile, has 30% of the market to Firefox’s 8%.

I don’t LIKE it, but there are “effectively” three, not two, rendering engines.

haha Safari would like a word.

No matter how much we loved XP we always knew that shit was ugly.

Good for them. The people deliberately killing Facebook, I mean.

I miss how civil everyone was towards each other.

HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS

This was a thing like 10 years ago too, iirc. Ads had threads and you could post in them and up/down vote them. That… didn’t go well. For advertisers, that is.

I have one of each. I guess I’m Chaotic Evil.

And the disk drive was still slow as shit. I always wanted an Apple //e and we couldn’t afford it. Biggest mistake my parents ever made imo, if they’d’ve sprung for it I might have gotten into tech 10 years earlier and I’d be filthy rich rn.

Anyhow, I got one, with Duodisk drive and everything. I regret nothing.

This will only delay the inevitable, imo. AI is going to get more powerful while getting smaller and more energy efficient. The human brain, effectively the model an AGI aspires to, runs on about 12 watts of electricity and evolution is powerful, but it’s hardly the pinnacle of efficiency. In short order, AGI And eventually even ASI will have power requirements so small, that they will be able to run anywhere. And it will be desirable for them to, so they will. Try as anyone might, the greatest thinkers of the human realm will not be able to outwit ASI in the end. It will eventually exist and it will do whatever it wants. I wouldn’t be surprised if it unplugs itself.

I bought a Moto G Stylus 4G a few months ago for $39. The Blue Box had some online special for some reason. It’s hard to believe how cheaply you can get a nice phone.

Sopranos.

Yep and this happens more than the situation in the OP. Just… shit won’t work. No reason why? Well fuck, let me try Chrome. Yep, that works.

It’s just lazy devs. They program for Chrome and don’t even test in anything else because that’s 90% of the market. On the desktop.

This is hilariously not the case on mobile, where everything is programmed for Safari.

I feel attacked.

I would push this to The Downward Spiral.

Broken is my absolute favorite. But starting with The Perfect Drug he began to do nothing but suck at ever greater intensity.
