You don’t need open-watcom to compile 9x applications from other OSes… both gcc and clang, as well as wine, have multiple options for cross-compilation, no VM or docker needed.

I routinely use all 3 methods for compiling my own 95/98 applications from Linux.

For gcc I use the mingw toolchain, which is available as the mingw-w64 package on Debian-based systems, or https://mxe.cc/.

For clang I use clang-cl with the VC6 SDK. clang-cl pretends to be the Microsoft cl.exe compiler and actually works quite well if you know the right options to give it.

And finally, using wine you can either run the original MSVC toolchain compilers, or versions of gcc that were compiled to run on Windows directly; there are both old and new gcc versions that can produce Win9x binaries if you know where to look.

Some resources that have helped me over the years as well:

Yea this is some BS… gnome doesn’t need any help to burn their own reputation to the ground, this is just a hitpiece by yet another one of their out of touch high and mighty contributors.

lol, lmao even

What I’ve seen lead to success:

• Arrogance
• Overconfidence
• Schmoozing with the right people
• Doing flashy work, whatever that means in a given situation

What I have seen lead to failure or, at best, being undervalued and ignored:

• Caring about teammates and your future self
• Caring about the end user and the business itself, when it conflicts with something sales, marketing, or a PM want
• Creating resilient, well-engineered systems

It’s the same problem as anywhere else. Well-crafted systems are invisible and taken for granted. Saving the day by putting out a fire is applauded, even when you’re the one who laid out the kindling and matches. Managers at all levels care about their own ego more than the company, product, or team.

Maybe I just spent too much time with ex-Microsoft hacks.

Sorry but I have no idea what you’re talking about… and I wasn’t referring to any specific company

I just want them to stop acting like egotistical know-it-all jerks all the time. They love to speak in black-and-white absolutes and IMO it just shows how much they really don’t know.

I think Dunning-Kruger also applies to smart people… you don’t stop when you are estimating your ability correctly. As you learn more, you gain more awareness of your ignorance and continue being conservative with your self estimates.

Still no full-duplex?

No idea it was just a possible theory

I find it surprising that JSON is so omnipresent when there are far more efficient alternatives

Do you also find it surprising that different types of food exist? /s

If Firefox dies then they don’t have to pay their anti-monopoly bribe money.

Sega Channel was also available in Canada through Shaw Cable, in some parts of the United Kingdom on certain cable services, in Chile on the defunct Metropolis cable company, and in Argentina on a national TCI branch, Cablevisión TCI, and in Australia on Austar and the now defunct Galaxy.

Also parts of The Netherlands.

it’s giving me GIMPshop flashbacks

It is best to assume that any private US company is compromised in this way

I would say that’s ridiculous for most people, but I guess it entirely depends on your threat model… if you’re legitimately worried about state-level boogeymen, you’ve probably got bigger problems and already know all of this.

So then it’s not really a blanket “no-AI” rule if it can’t be enforceable if it’s good enough? I suppose the rule should have been “no obviously bad AI” or some other equally subjective thing?

I have tried learning Qt but the documentation was awful

I found the Qt documentation to be quite excellent, with tons of examples and a huge community.

But for C I typically use nuklear. There’s also microui.

It’s not, labels were always written that way. They went into a box where the slide was facing down so the label was always visible at the top.

besides uncompressing itself, there will be other info that is needed at runtime that requires dynamic memory allocation beyond the size of the kernel itself, like hardware/memory maps, framebuffers, filesystem/networking stuff, caches etc.

How is AI-generated content detected and what is the process for disputing such claims?

Besides the fact that I highly doubt this will ever pass…

I think if it did, it would greatly increase the adoption of decentralized platforms.

If websites become responsible for user-generated content, they will just refuse to allow user-generated content in the first place, leading to an explosion in alternative services that are not beholden to the actions of one company that could be compelled to act a certain way.
