Anyone who thinks the "ribbon" in Microsoft Office is somehow better is nuts and three lines to indicate a file menu is also just as crappy (looking at you Firefox). This insistence on hiding critical functionality in "modern" UI design started with Microsoft as far as I can tell around 2003. Yes- it pre-dates the "ribbon" by a long time. All I can say is LibreOffice is the FAR superior choice. Not because they offer a "ribbon"-like interface obviously, but because they offer a traditional user interface that actually works.

There is a reason people have been driven to GNU/Linux more and more with each passing year. Besides it getting better it's primarily shitty decisions by the "tech" industry, ie Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc.

@Dubbub @irie @beardalaxy while you're distracted with Iran it's time to let you know that they're rolling out os level age verification btw

A friend, @chloetankahhui has been speaking up against the proposal to enforce age verification at the OS level, and the QRTs to this shows the extent of naivety that a lot of people have.

No one who does hardware security believes that any system is bulletproof, but do you really think that circumventing these things will always be a simple firmware mod or hardware hack?

Let's dive in. /1

If you ever want to do something fun, ice-hop over for a closer look.

Minecraft Console Edition's code got leaked on 4chan apparently, and this guy ported it over to PC with KBM support.

apparently it doesn't yet have support for saving worlds or multiplayer, but still a pretty cool thing.

Who was it who predicted the Iran two weeks back? They had a survey post and were sure it was going to happen .... they were only off by like a week.
