copy file.txt prn was an interesting shortcut for printing things 35 years ago.

You are correct. It’s a long text with many parts, so you can make it say anything by conveniently picking your quotes.

Person from Muslim background here. Let me try to explain. As with all sacred texts, Quran includes many contradicting parts, where other are open to interpretation. Also, Quran was “revealed” as small passages over Muhammad’s life. He claimed to receive messages in the context of the current events. To complicate things even more, standard Quran is not compiled in chronological order.

Passages from early Islam where Muslims were a persecuted minority, the texts are more about peace and harmony. As Muslims increased in numbers and influence, the passages have also turned more aggressive.

For example 2:62 says

Indeed, the believers, Jews, Christians, and Sabians—whoever ˹truly˺ believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good will have their reward with their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.

The final ones are indeed about any war, and dominating the space they exist in. Give them ultimatum and then fight until they ask for mercy.

Besides surveillance and privacy, Google has a bit of a reputation for suddenly killing their projects.

Programming languages should be mostly fine, even if they get abandoned a community fork can take up the slack. Anything popular enough finds maintainers.

That Jerry poster, 😘👌

Yup, it’s a capilatist game of chicken. Whoever slows down first to respect the environment loses the market share to those who doesn’t.

Probably not, but worth a try.

Practically, the only use of them right now is to inflate stock prices. No business benefits from this much compute other than hardware suppliers and construction companies.

They released iphone after many competitors had half baked products in the market. Using capacitive touch with gestures like pinch zoom was absolutely brilliant.

For tablets, they waited until Microsoft’s attempt at tablet computers failed, and then they gave their own twist. I guess there was a time they actively learned from their competitors’ successes and mistakes.

Why bother when fans happily live a decade in the past?

Man I wish it was 2016.
