Oh look, another Mastodon instance is protecting the fascists from my horrifying incivility toward them. Big surprise that it's Hachyderm, eh, @davidgerard ?
Twenty five years ago today I started the #Safari and #WebKit projects at #Apple Computer.
Which means Safari is now old enough to rent itself a car. But let's not speculate about my age.
I'm still sad I can't use Safari on my Windows PC. Alas, I lost the battle to keep it there. But at least WebKit's DNA seeded or influenced most browsers we use today.
And I'm proud of that impact. Along with the wonderful team I built who made it all happen. Here's to another 25, friends.
Cheers. 🥂😊💖

I take your "browsing the web in text mode on a pomera" and raise to "using the fediverse on a toshiba libretto 50ct running MS-DOS" 🤣
"if you want to be a good developer, hone your curiosity" This Friday I am hosting Werner Vogels, the CTO of Amazon on my Podcast "Coffee With Developers". What should I ask him? The best question gets a VIP ticket for https://wearedevelopers.us, others can use "ilovebacon" for 50% off!

This AI doomerism is completely misplaced. I hate AI. In its current form it’s inherently unethical. But I’m not afraid that it becomes conscious and wants to kill us all. What I am afraid of is that my doctor’s office is replacing the receptionist with AI and I can’t get through to a human when I need it most.
STOP DOING SWAP PARTITIONS
HARD DRIVES WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO ACT LIKE RAM
YEARS OF LINUX SYSADMINNING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for going beyond CLOSING A FEW TABS
Wanted to avoid the OOM killer anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called ZRAM
"Yes please give me a dedicated 64GB logical volume of SWAP. Please give me unresizable block devices trapped at the end of my disk." - STATEMENTS DREAMED UP BY THE UTTERLY DERANGED
LOOK at what Neckbeards have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the fdisk and GParted Live USBs we built for them. (This is REAL PARTITIONING, done by REAL LINUX USERS):
# mkswap /dev/nvme0n1p3
# echo /dev/nvme0n1p3 none swap sw 0 0 >> /etc/fstab
# swapon -a
