I'm sorry, but if your UI scaling is set too high on your device I simply have to kill you on sight

📅 On August 29, 2003, the first version of Skype was released, revolutionizing how people communicate over the Internet. Developed by Scandinavian entrepreneurs Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis, in collaboration with Estonian developers Ahti Heinla, Priit Kasesalu, and Jaan Tallinn, Skype set a new standard for online communication.

🌍 Today, Skype is owned by Microsoft, but its impact on how we connect across the globe remains undeniable.

ever wonder why spotify/discord/teams desktop apps kind of suck?

i don't do a lot of long form posts but. I realized that so many people aren't aware that a lot of the enshittification of using computers in the past decade or so has a lot to do with embedded webapps becoming so frequently used instead of creating native programs. and boy do i have some thoughts about this.

for those who are not blessed/cursed with computers knowledge Basically most (graphical) programs used to be native programs (ever since we started widely using a graphical interface instead of just a text-based terminal). these are apps that feel like when you open up the settings on your computer, and one of the factors that make windows and mac programs look different (bc they use a different design language!) this was the standard for a long long time - your emails were served to you in a special email application like thunderbird or outlook, your documents were processed in something like microsoft word (again. On your own computer!). same goes for calendars, calculators, spreadsheets, and a whole bunch more - crucially, your computer didn't depend on the internet to do basic things, but being connected to the web was very much an appreciated luxury!

that leads us to the eventual rise of webapps that we are all so painfully familiar with today - gmail dot com/outlook, google docs, google/microsoft calendar, and so on. as html/css/js technology grew beyond just displaying text images and such, it became clear that it could be a lot more convenient to just run programs on some server somewhere, and serve the front end on a web interface for anyone to use. this is really very convenient!!!! it Also means a huge concentration of power (notice how suddenly google is one company providing you the SERVICE) - you're renting instead of owning. which means google is your landlord - the services you use every day are first and foremost means of hitting the year over year profit quota. its a pretty sweet deal to have a free email account in exchange for ads! email accounts used to be paid (simply because the provider had to store your emails somewhere. which takes up storage space which is physical hard drives), but now the standard as of hotmail/yahoo/gmail is to just provide a free service and shove ads in as much as you need to.

webapps can do a lot of things, but they didn't immediately replace software like skype or code editors or music players - software that requires more heavy system interaction or snappy audio/visual responses. in 2013, the electron framework came out - a way of packaging up a bundle of html/css/js into a neat little crossplatform application that could be downloaded and run like any other native application. there were significant upsides to this - web developers could suddenly use their webapp skills to build desktop applications that ran on any computer as long as it could support chrome*! the first applications to be built on electron were the late code editor atom (rest in peace), but soon a whole lot of companies took note! some notable contemporary applications that use electron, or a similar webapp-embedded-in-a-little-chrome as a base are:

microsoft teams

notion

vscode

discord

spotify

anyone! who has paid even a little bit of attention to their computer - especially when using older/budget computers - know just how much having chrome open can slow down your computer (firefox as well to a lesser extent. because its just built better <3)

whenever you have one of these programs open on your computer, it's running in a one-tab chrome browser. there is a whole extra chrome open just to run your discord. if you have discord, spotify, and notion open all at once, along with chrome itself, that's four chromes. needless to say, this uses a LOT of resources to deliver applications that are often much less polished and less integrated with the rest of the operating system. it also means that if you have no internet connection, sometimes the apps straight up do not work, since much of them rely heavily on being connected to their servers, where the heavy lifting is done.

taking this idea to the very furthest is the concept of chromebooks - dinky little laptops that were created to only run a web browser and webapps - simply a vessel to access the google dot com mothership. they have gotten better at running offline android/linux applications, but often the $200 chromebooks that are bought in bulk have almost no processing power of their own - why would you even need it? you have everything you could possibly need in the warm embrace of google!

all in all the average person in the modern age, using computers in the mainstream way, owns very little of their means of computing.

i started this post as a rant about the electron/webapp framework because i think that it sucks and it displaces proper programs. and now ive swiveled into getting pissed off at software services which is in honestly the core issue. and i think things can be better!!!!!!!!!!! but to think about better computing culture one has to imagine living outside of capitalism.

i'm not the one to try to explain permacomputing specifically because there's already wonderful literature ^ but if anything here interested you, read this!!!!!!!!!! there is a beautiful world where computers live for decades and do less but do it well. and you just own it. come frolic with me Okay ? :]

*when i say chrome i technically mean chromium. but functionally it's same thing

@HilzFuld

Dear antisemites,

I know you like to boycott Israeli products so I thought I’d help you out. You’re welcome.

So here are the things you need to stop using immediately.

WhatsApp: The founder just donated $200 million to a hospital in the “Occupied Jerusalem”. Stop using WhatsApp immediately.

iPhone/Apple: The iPhone chip is designed in Herzliya and Face ID was invented by an Israeli. Stop using your iPhone immediately. Apple also has a large presence in Israel so no mac either.

Google/Android: Google has a massive presence in the “Zionist entity”. One of Google’s largest engineering hubs outside the U.S. Stop using all Google products immediately.

Microsoft: Massive Israel R&D presence since the 1990s. Thousands of employees across Herzliya, Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Nazareth. Major AI, cybersecurity, and cloud work. No Microsoft for you!

Intel: If your computer is running an Intel processor, that’s built in Jerusalem. Probably the single largest private tech employer in Israel. Massive chip fabs and R&D centers in Haifa, Petah Tikva, Jerusalem, and Kiryat Gat. Stop using Intel immediately.

Nvidia: If you’re using AI of any kind, good chance it is built on Nvidia. Nvidia just tripled their presence in Israel and the CEO is a massive Zionist. No more AI.

Meta: Meta has offices throughout Israel so no Facebook or Instagram for you. Stop using them immediately.

USB: That’s right, USB was invented by an Israeli company called MSystems so no USB products please.

Amazon: Amazon and its web services have a strong presence in Israel and the drone department was started by an Israeli. No Amazon for you.

Pillcam: If someone you love is sick and the doctor suggests an examination using the pillcam, reject immediately. That’s Israeli technology.

Drip irrigation: If your gardener suggests you water your garden with drip irrigation, say no and fire him. He’s clearly a Zionist trying to sell you an Israeli technology.

Waze: We already established that you can’t use Google Maps. You can’t use Waze either. It’s an Israeli company acquired by Google. Maybe buy yourself a map for the car.

Instant messaging or voice over IP: Please refrain from using any instant messaging or voice over IP. Both invented by an Israeli. I’d suggest a pigeon.

Autonomous car: If your car drives itself, good chance it’s powered by mobileye in Jerusalem. Sell it immediately.

Cherry tomatoes: Stop eating cherry tomatoes. They’re an Israeli invention.

A website: If you have a website, it’s likely powered by Wix, an Israeli company. Shut it down immediately.

If you managed to find a phone that doesn’t run iOS or Android, you better not take a picture with it. The dual-lens camera technology for smartphones was pioneered by Corephotonics, an Israeli startup based in Tel Aviv, which was later acquired by Samsung. No photos for you!

Firewall: Check Point Software developed the first commercial firewall. If your work has a firewall, quit immediately.

Rummikub: I’m sure you love playing. We all do. Sorry to tell you this but it was invented by Ephraim Hertzano. Throw out your Rummikub immediately.

Here are some honorable mentions for you. These things were invented by a Jew and as an antisemite, you need to stop using them immediately!

Ballpoint Pen (Biro): Invented by Hungarian-Jewish László Bíró in the 1930s (patented 1938). Throw out your ballpoint pens.

Shopping Cart: Invented by American-Jewish Sylvan Goldman in 1937. Stop using them when you shop.

The Defibrillator (modern portable version improvements) — advanced significantly by Paul Zoll and other Jewish researcher.

You’re welcome.

Just trying to make you the best antisemite you can be.

You can start by throwing away the device you are looking at right now. It’s probably built in Israel.

We wouldn’t want to support those filthy Zionists, now would we?

Good luck cleansing yourself of Zionist products or products created by those Jewish supremacists.

Good luck to you!

Hello Mr Gaiman, if you don't mind, could you please tell me if the fact that you once asked an official in China that Chinese people need more sci-fi stories to fuel their imagination and hence innovation, hence their invitation of sci-fi writers and yourself many years ago, was a true conversation?

I once found this in one of your journals but somehow I couldn't find it anymore and thinking of digging deeper in your archives through China tags sound way too daunting as I just had many exams today and in one essay I cited this very example and you in it to prove a point that scientists need artists (I see writers as artists too) in this world, and now I'm kind of freaking out on whether I hallucinated the whole story or something.

Whatever it is, if you managed to read this ask, thanks a lot and hope you have a good day/night ahead!

It was in 2007 in Chengdu, at the first offically approved and endorsed SF convention. Here's Bob Sawyer talking about it on his web site at the time:

And here's Michael Swanwick:

The 2007 International Science Fiction and Fantasy Conference in Chengdu (Part 1)

What, you may well ask me, was it like being a American writer at a Chinese science fiction conference? It was like being a rock star for a

Chengdu (Part 2)

After the convention, all the guests, translators, and editors went out for yet another feast. Every meal in Chengdu was a feast. And since

and a Chinese article from the time:

And yes. When I asked why the disapproval of SF had turned to approval, I was told that Chinese fact-finding conversations at Apple, Microsoft and Google had revealed that most of the engineers, creators, designers and inventors had read SF when younger and had become interested in making what they made because of SF, and that the official Chinese position in 2007 was that SF should now be encouraged -- thus the convention.

From the article at the time:

The 2007 China (Chengdu) SF/Fantasy Conference hosted the event. The theme: “Science, Imagination and Future” is an ambitious Chinese effort designed to inspire public creativity toward future scientific and technological development as well as promote national insight for scientific exploration. The conference has been scheduled immediately before the World Science Fiction Convention in Yokohama, Japan.

The conference has designated August 25 as “China Imagination Day”. SF and fantasy lovers signed their names on a banner to commemorate this day during the opening ceremony.

“Imagination is an important premise for creativity. Science fiction literature plays an important role in inspiring people’s imagination and creativity,” said Li Xiuting, vice director of the International Department of the China Association for Science and Technology, at the opening ceremony on Saturday.

“Our (science fiction) words become the world and our words become places that you can visit. They become books and stories that inspire people. It is both surprising and reassuring to know by accident that the places have helped to make a future we are now living. Places like Microsoft and Google, Apple and places like MIT are packed with science fiction readers and fantasy readers,” Neil Gaiman said on Saturday.
