Such a poison pill could be considered a feature insofar as it discourages consolidation of companies.

There are very few, if any, projects big enough to be a consideration to NOT acquire an entire company.

I don’t think this is the world we were envisioning, where leading companies are suggesting content, tracking our history, and feeding us more socially optimized streams just to keep us hooked and give us dopamine hits.

What I’d prefer is something like dailyflow (I saw it on HN yesterday): a local LLM that tracks my history and how I’m spending my time, then gives me hints when I’m off track — more aligned with what I actually want to see and where I want to go.

It’s not the world we were envisioning, but to the people getting rich off us, this is exactly what they wanted.

Canon makes lots of software, so a little disingenuous to say that they are a hardware company that doesn’t get to charge for their software.

Everybody who worked writing code in the 70s-90s is smirking at “wait over a second”.

Back in the day, I used to go get my coffee, shoot the shit in the break room for a few minute, and come back to find my debug runs just starting.

Amazing how technology has improved and matured in 50 years…

Because Windows is made with poor attention to details and in a tasteless manner. For instance, when Windows XP came out, I remember clearly how some stock icons weren't properly aligned on the same baseline (it was corrected in some later SP).

Fascinating! Computers didn’t exist before Windows or Windows XP!
