Five years in prison for that is a joke.

I've been in the industry some time but here are some of my most hated software I've been forced to use:

• IBM Clearcase. Absolutely the worst dogshit source control system ever to exist. Complex, fragile, arcane, slow, network intensive. The company had to employ people fulltime on each of its sites whose only job was creating branches and mirroring repos on other sites. The operational & licensing costs of running it must be insane. Some defenders might claim "but it's so powerful!" or "look how we can create fancy layered views" as if that excuses it for being terrible in the most basic ways. Fixing it must have been intractable because IBM Clearcase eventually produced a faster remote client that talked to a proxy of the view running on a server somewhere. More expense and complexity.

• IBM/Lotus Notes & Domino. Another complex, arcane, slow, unintuitive, frustrating product by IBM (though owned by HCL now). Originally a content management system with an email / calendar with its own terminology and workflows completely divorced from any other email / calendar system in existence. Various iterations attempted to rework the front end to appear more user friendly but it was illusory - click button or two and you were confronted with dialogs that hadn't changed in 30 years.

• Internet Explorer. I've worked in company after company that had some really awful in-house expenses system or clock-in/clock-out or some enterprise junk that NEEDED Internet Explorer and no other browser would do because it was so badly written that it couldn't render properly or it used an ActiveX control.

• HP/Microfocus ALM. Another over-engineered, arcane, unintuitive piece of enterprise software. This time for tracking bugs, features, testing etc. Complicated and slow, heavily dependent on Internet Explorer and other deprecated Microsoft tech.

• Trend antivirus. Almost every corporate antivirus is bad but this one has been the bane of my existence. I write code which does stuff like encryption and compression/decompression and this piece of shit would constantly trigger warnings and delete binaries I was trying to build and develop. When it wasn't interfering with my work, it would just be constantly hogging CPU and slowing down disk activity.

• Enterprise software in general. This crap is sold like Kirby vacuum cleaners - a pushy salesman convinces a clueless CTO to buy junk that can seemingly do everything and a sign contract for $$$. And then this stuff is there FOREVER. Management will ignore complaints and the obvious shortcomings of the system because its paid for and the sunk cost fallacy kicks in.

He's really gunning for that Hero of Russia medal

It's probably one of numerous ways they try and reach people. Wouldn't be surprised if they have it set up to spam alerts out through various mechanisms including social media. It's just that one platform is now complete dogshit. Maybe this failure will hasten Twitter's decline in Japan.

Erm yes it was But here is a more or less chronological ordering of getting to Firefox today.

1. Netscape Navigator
2. Netscape Communicator 4.x (a suite of email, browser, calendar, HTML composer)
3. Netscape Communicator 5.0 is abandoned as a commercial product because engine is getting old and Microsoft is being anti-competitive
4. Netscape open sources Netscape Communicator 5.0 as Mozilla with the proprietary bits & crypto stripped out. BTW Mozilla was the internal name of Netscape exposed in the user agent and easter eggs like about:mozilla
5. Netscape / Mozilla starts NGLayout which is a rewrite of the HTML engine
6. NGLayout becomes Gecko
7. Mozilla suite is based on Gecko using extensible XUL architecture
8. Netscape themed browser released based on Mozilla with proprietary AOL stuff like AIM client
9. A bunch of other things happening at this point like versions of AOL, Compuserve using Gecko
10. Microsoft pays AOL a huge amount of money to not use Gecko in AOL client and make a lawsuit go away
11. AOL lays off most of the Netscape staff & tosses some money to get Mozilla Foundation going
12. Mozilla foundation splits the browser into Firefox which doesn't use so much XUL in the browser but is still the Mozilla / Gecko code base. It proved popular because it was more focused and loaded a bit quicker.
13. Mozilla foundation also splits email into Thunderbird along similar lines
14. Firefox progresses to where it is today.

So yeah it's a continuation all the way back. I also worked at Netscape at the time so I got to see much of this transition.

I can understand his anger, but only because of who he is and what Wikipedia is.

Wikipedia attempts to have a neutral point of view (NPOV). It is extremely nuanced but it basically means being impartial, relying on the verifiable facts & sources and not giving undue weight or emphasis on fringe views. The site also has a lot of active maintainers who go in and strive for that NPOV, deleting vandalism or other acts meant to shift away from it. It's certainly not perfect but it clearly works in the main.

NPOV is a hard thing to take for someone like Musk. He says & repeats incredibly dumb things on a daily basis and is highly susceptible to misinfo. He also has a massive ego, narcissistic personality disorder and an incredibly thin skin. He doesn't like it when somebody says something he doesn't like to hear and he doesn't like it when he can't control the person saying it. I have no idea why Wikipedia is pushing his buttons but I imagine that their bio about Musk is not pretty and it riles him up no end.

This won't help in the above case so it's a little off topic. But I got rid of Twitter on my phone and still use Twitter on my phone - Basically you just open twitter.com in Firefox, and go to the menu and click "Install". Now you get a launcher icon to an "app" but it's just the website hosted by the browser.

Instantly saves 150Mb, stops it doing evil shit and because it's hosted in Firefox I get to block all the ads.

I would advise doing this with any app which has a desktop / mobile version and see what happens - Facebook, Reddit, LinkedIn etc. Some social media sites will nag you to install the app but some won't or will be functional in spite of it.

Spent all my life driving manual cars and I am completely comfortable and at ease with their pending demise due to hybrids and full BEVs. I wouldn't be surprised if some EVs get phony gears and broom broom noises for people who can't cope with just having to set a direction and push a pedal to make things happen.

Strangely enough there is another baby murdering nurse in UK prison called Beverley Allitt who in 1993 killed children the same way. She's been inside for 30 years and is actually eligible for parole since she hasn't received a whole life order (i.e. to die in prison). Doesn't mean she'll get parole but expect an outcry if she ever does.

I think the document's indictment will secure a conviction more easily than this, even if this is the one that should see him sent to prison forever.

The reason is simple - the documents crime is self evident - removal of classified documents, attempts to hide their return and an obvious attempt to obstruct an investigation into their whereabouts.

Where as the Jan 6 stuff has enough of a complex timeline that prosecution could screw it up, or the defendant's lawyers could throw all the co-conspirators under a bus to exclaim Trump was simply given bad advice by his lawyers.

I know personally that I would never buy a Samsung phone again. The budget models are filled with ad/crapware. The premium models are expensive, gimmick laden and bad value.
