…NeXTstep was built on mach and, although i’m unsure if any antecedents remain in macOS, it was certainly production-ready in its day; i remember a couple of decades ago there were stopgap versions of the HURD built on top of mach instead of their own microkernel but i thought that was only ever intended as a temporary workaround…
…i presume on that basis that sustained developer interest was its greatest hurdle, no pun intended…
edit: …is this the post-mortem you mentioned?..
…i’m absolutely ignorant of its current state, but every time i’ve checked in on progress of GNU/hurd over the past three decades, it still hasn’t matured into a stable production-ready platform: i’m not sure if that’s an artifact of technical viability or developer interest…
…my grandmother never drove in ninety-one years after suffering a siezure in her youth; now i work with a girl who does likewise…
…i think pornhub’s leaving money on the table not starting a SFW video platform…
…i’ve always advocated against voting as it only serves to legitimise the electoral outcome, but the republican party finally forced my hand to vote in 2020, for which i’ll never forgive them…
…overtime?..welcome to the world of exempt employees where anything less than 45 hours requires “voluntary” salary deductions…
…i quit shopping brick-and-mortar after target routinely charged more in their stores than online + shipping…
…dreamworks published the DVD without english subtitles, instead providing only descriptive closed captions…
…it’s an amazing film but the closed captions were a terribly compromised viewing experience, poor enough to tank DVD sales and put the film into distribution purgatory under the terms of dreamworks’ original contract…
…does it have real subtitles yet?..
…tracks still have wheels within…
fear leads to anger.
anger leads to hate.
hate leads to fascism, i guess.
…yeah, i was wondering if that meant they’re equal-opportunity molesters* now…
*(both of my scout troops were shut down due to sexual abuse scandals; after it happened the second time, i was done with scouting)
…i relish saying canadia; it rolls so deliciously off the tongue that i can’t resist using at every opportunity…
…ah, that explains it!..no other EGA games affected me the same way…
…ye gads, something about the low-framerate EGA + flat topology in catacombs 3D gave me ferocious motion sickness at the time; even looking at screenshots still makes me feel queasy to this day…
(never had that problem with ultima underworld)
…well, no, it’s actually much more expensive than subsidised beef, but that’s not important right now: KNEEL!..
I AM THE GLOBAL ELITE.
KNEEL BEFORE MY VEGAN MIGHT!
ALL SHALL LOVE ME AND DESPAIR.
