the clean chinese-room engineering problem: person A studies and reverse-engineers a piece of software, then writes a chinese-language document describing its precise function. this document is passed to person B, who does not speak chinese, but uses a chinese-to-english dictionary to translate the document to english. this translated document is given to person C, who implements the software as described in the document. which of these people, if any, have violated the oracle end user license agreement?

playing PC games from the 2000s is like

This game, like most Scringle Engine 3 games, does not support widescreen, and instead crops the 4:3 image to a 16:9 ratio. This can be fixed with Jambo's Game Tool, although this will disable the "Advanced Features" video option, which will remove reflections from puddles and mirrors.

To fix the immediate crash when starting the cutscene on level 3, download GregFix.dll from the GregUtils website (no link provided - Greg will send DMCA takedowns to any websites besides Google that provide his website's URL) and drop it in your system32 folder. Run the game with administrator privileges twice, letting it crash both times, then start it normally. This is confirmed to work on December 2022 through April 2023 builds of Windows 10.

Public Transport vloggers are an amazing breed.

I bet their brunches get heated if someone brings up what constitutes a "metro" line and what doesn’t.

the year is 2050. GTK is still preparing the move to version 4, and has collaborated with the FBI to assassinate anyone who mentions the filepicker thumbnail bug. qt stil has an open source version, but it requires you to have create an account with a valid email address and physical address, and limits applications to only containing one window.

microsoft is still "transitioning away from winforms" to the Multiversal Windows Platform, For Real You Guys, We're Doing It Platform. iOS desktop (formerly macOS) has deprecated all system widgets in favour of the cloud. google has created an artificial intelligence to randomly create and deprecate new GUI frameworks, rendering it essentially impossible for anybody but them to create android apps with "native GUIs".

the only usable framework is electron, but everybody hates it because bloat.

as people struggle to find a desktop ui framework that hasn't been bogged down into uselessness by licensing issues or lack of features, a saviour emerges from the heavens: java swing

"i use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision.
"actually," he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux."
i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "i use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux."

the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!"
coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" i interrupt his response with "and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.
