it's crazy that an android has more consistent icons than even windows ios and even possibly linux unless there's a icon theme I'm missing out on where basically all the icons are the same.

Microsoft has been doing this for 3 decades now, kid. Internet Explorer 4 was fucking infamous for its unremovable Internet Explorer integration with the Windows shell (which was part of an anticompetitive practice to try to fuck over Netscape by forcibly bundling computer with Internet Explorer that they couldn't so much as deactivate). If you had fucking Windows 98 your Windows Explorer was hard integrated to basically run inside Internet Explorer. There's a reason why we always shat on Microsoft.

Agreed, I'm happy Ubuntu helped me got on the Linux train. With Canonical faggotry however, I quickly realized i needed to look for a better distro.

Funnily enough I rather enjoyed Unity and even installed it on later version where Canonical started to ditch it. At that time, the bloggers who got me into Linux in the first place had had enough because Unity was too big a change compared to Gnome 2.
I've seen many of them migrate to Mint and/or the MATE desktop.

I might be mistaken, but I remember reading about how one of them was talking to his parents online while impersonating him in order to keep them from reaching out to him so that he could make him think that they didn't want to speak to him and that the resulting isolation might have contributed to his suicidal depression.

I doubt most XP home computers were directly connected to the Internet like in the Win9x days. The later ones were often connected directly via a POTS dialup modem that got assigned one of their ISP's IP address, but by the time XP came out a lot of people had ADSL or cable modems with built-in LAN ports that did NAT, and you're not gonna scan all those non-routable 10.0.0.x or 192.168.1.x ranges from the Internet. You'll just scan the router instead.

>I doubt most XP home computers were directly connected to the Internet like in the Win9x days.
They were. I literally IP range scanned the open internet back in the day and found tons of computers with open network shares and whatnot.

No, you're making a mistake here. First off, Windows Xp came out in 2001, when 56k modems were still the norm for internet connections. ISDN and DSL (let alone T1 internet) were expensive for people who had only just barely started using the internet. Second off, while DSL lines and the like did come with external modems, they were only external modems for the first several years. They weren't external router-modems like today. So there was no modem LAN. It just directly connected your PC to the internet. If you wanted a LAN you'd have to buy your own router and connect your modem to it, because they were separate devices (or you could buy an expensive router that had a built-in modem).

Early on routers weren't even part

 using the internet.
I was paying only $35/mo for ADSL in 2000, and cable modem was $50/mo. The ADSL needed a POTS phone line to function, but I already had one, and unlike dialup modem you could also use the voice landline phone at the same time. An dialup ISP would have been about $20/mo. So it's not like we're talking big money here, just $15 more per month, and no hassles with the phone line being busy like I had in the mid 90's, because I was constantly online. xD
Plus the speed difference was night and day...

>> First off, Windows Xp came out in 2001
That doesn't mean everyone jumped to install it. I know a bunch of people who stuck with Win98 for several more years, and only got XP when buying a newer computer or needing some new software that was for XP. Don't forget XP is one of the NT-based Windows and it needs more hardware resources. A lot of people would have need to upgrade their computer to run it. If they're poor like you're saying and can barely afford a 56K dialup modem account, then they don't have the money for a computer upgrade. I lived in an apartment building in 2006 where

Yes, but the internet was still a new thing to most people and not everyone was down for monthly fees like that. Nowadays we all accept internet as an essential utility, but back there were plenty of average people who weren't paying for high speed internet.

I lived in an apartment building in 2006 where some neighbors still had Windows ME. They had shitbox old PCs too.
Yes, but I'm talking about early Windows Xp connected to the internet.

>But they could download music from Napster (or whatever was common at the time) and chat online, so they were happy.
It was primarily Napster and then Gnutella/LimeWire or Morpheus. Also MP3 sites. Beyond that you still had the occasional FTP, BBSs, the alt.binary.sounds newsgroups, and XDCC bots on IRC, but at that point you are going down the warez rabbit hole.

>Also there's another reason people didn't all just run out to install XP: it doesn't run DOS programs (this was before DOSBox/emulators became common). A lot of people still had old software, including games they wanted to play. At least with Win9x it was possible.
Well, 32-bit Xp did run 16-bit DOS software, but it wasn't true DOS anymore and a lot of shit wasn't really working well. 64-bit Xp, on the other hand, flat-out had no support for that sort of thing and a big reason to run Xp was the 64-bit transition.

>My first ADSL modem didn't, because I was an early adopter. But I had a bunch of computers already and I setup one Linux box as a router, and had a hub connected to it (hubs were much cheaper than routers back then).
Dude, if you were setting up Linux boxes in 2000 you were part of a small minority of advanced computer users. The average person wasn't fucking around with that shit and was still a 1 PC household, maybe 2 (one for parents, one for kids) where they had to choose who has internet at the time. And yes, hubs were more the norm back then. They were very popular for LAN parties.

Access to ADSL, especially affordable ADSL, in 2000 really depended on where you live.

It worked. I basically just copypasted the same thing for the zoomed-in rendering, so now it looks like this:

	i64 multiplier = round(zoom);
	
	i64 px_progxstart = (crop.x-canvas->screenbounds.x) % multiplier;
	i64 px_progystart = (crop.y-canvas->screenbounds.y) % multiplier;
	i64 px_progx = px_progxstart;
	i64 px_progy = px_progystart;
	i64 px_xstart = (crop.x-canvas->screenbounds.x) / multiplier;
	i64 px_ystart = (crop.y-canvas->screenbounds.y) / multiplier;
	i64 px_x = px_xstart;
	i64 px_y = px_ystart;

I think MS paint is the wrong tool for creating game assets to begin with, there's just a lot of features missing to make it practical for art creation. It's more for quick edits, cropping images, mockups, tests, simple fun drawings, a blackboard to scribble onto...

It's not like there aren't 800 other free art programs you can use to follow your rotoscoping dreams. All of them are kind of shitty in their own ways, but still.

I put the most recent version on my site just to have a more centralized page for it: https://sundee.neocities.org/tffpaint/
It's still far from competing with MS Paint, but you can kinda use it a bit.

>owners of the server can track your location if you use IPv4 anyway?
Yes but you probably share that ipv4 address with other customers from the same internet service provider. And then the connection terminates at a router which you might share with other people in the building.

>>15319
Yes, nat provides a layer of separation.
>>15309
ipv6 doesn't need nat because there are enough addresses for each devi e to have one. There is an rfc for randomizing it https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8981 .

>>3971 (OP) 
The biggest issue is that they didn't just extend the address space and drop the redundant bits (like optional source routing, which nobody used anyway), they tried to introduce a bunch of new mechanics which fuck things up.

For example, SLAAC: nice in theory, but garbage when your ISP is retarded and only gives you /64, preventing you from making subnets which also work with Android (thanks Google!). I've even heard of retardation like giving out /128 only!
But even if I'd be okay with not being able to use my phone on my own subnet I can't figure out how to make the router actually give out a subnet, so I simply don't use IPv6 and just sit behind a double-NAT IPv4, which was substantially easier to set up even if it's shit.

But what I consider to be an even bigger issue is that IPv6 can and still will suffer from (severe) routing table fragmentation, as you can get some arbitrary IPv6 range and use it pretty much anywhere (on the same continent, at least, not sure what the exact requirements are). I believe the only real solution to this is to map addresses to physical coordinates and enforce that an address maps relatively close to its corresponding coordinate.
Hell, everyone uses DNS anyway and IPv6 obviously isn't meant to be typed in directly, so why bother reserving specific ranges to specific entities instead of regions?

>>3980
All DNS addresses point to IP addresses, anon. Think of DNS as a list of names to look up on your rolodex (in this case the rolodex is the Domain Name System server you connect to, and yes they - and anyone snooping that traffic - can see what domain names you've been connecting to) to find someone's phone number to call them. It's that kind of mechanic. You still need their number to reach them. What you're suggesting would still require a huge overhaul of how the internet protocol works (or how computers interact with it, which is more-or-less the same thing) except much, much buggier.

Sell software. Can even be games. But you have to be a one-man outfit. If you sell a program for $20 and you keep 70% (a lot of online processors take 30%) and the tax man takes a bunch so let's say you keep $10 (which the tax-man will income tax you on). If you sell 25,000 copies, you will be at $250k income. If you manage to sell 2 products like this in a year and the second does 30k sales, you can make $550k in one year. In a few years, you will be multimillionaire.

This assumes you are a one-man outfit that can create software in 6 months that people will seriously want.

If you want to try to get rich while being lazy, make your own Yasuke Simulator - a lazy game that is an absolute meme that exists to dunk on a videogame that is already getting shat on. Do it right and you will sell buckets just by tapping into the zeitgeist and discontent.

You can also try making a website that'll be super-popular but the cost'll balloon as it rises in usage (fuck this up and your usercount will fall off) and web users are notoriously averse to spending money on shit. Some ads will not make you a wealthy man, so you'd have to sell subscriptions. Right now there's some money in webnovels since if you can get 10k idiots to pay a $10/month subscription for early access to chapters you make $120 off of a single user per year, so 1.2 million, minus taxes and payment processor (again), so yo

Do websites experience any sort of compatibility issue if you try to create an account with an alternative e-mail provider?

I'm thinking of finally switching.

>>16051
Some mailproviders are blacklisted, which is cancer, but shit like proton and tutanota works fine. It's honestly rare to run into the issue that websites flip their shit if you try to use a different e-mail. But you do sometimes see websites that want you to log into them with your google account and that's not something other mail providers can give you.
