  • all the way from 1991 to 2024, I think the only other OS that has managed that is Windows

    It’s easy to forget about MacOS when it only has 15% desktop market share.

    Operating systems that started before 1991 that are still in active development (had a release in the last 12 months):

    • Multics (1969-)
    • MVS (1974-) via OS/390 (1995-) -> z/OS (2001-)
    • VMS (1977) via OpenVMS (1992-)
    • BSD (1978-) via 386BSD -> FreeBSD, NetBSD -> OpenBSD
    • HP-UX (1982-)
    • SunOS (1982-1994) via Solaris (1992-)
    • MacOS (1984-)
    • AIX (1986-)
    • RISC OS (1987-)

    Almost made it:

    • Minix (1987-2017)
    • Genera (1982-2021)
    • AmigaOS (1985-2021)
    • NeXTSTEP (1987-1997) via GNUStep (1993-2021)
    • IBM i (1988-2022)
    • SpartaDOS (1988-2022)



  • Fixed issues with drag-and-drop functionality on Linux. (Bug 1897115)

    For anyone that has to wait for their distro package manager before they get this update, here is a workaround for the most annoying bug (losing the ability to drag/re-order tabs in Firefox):

    If the bug is present, you will find that drag-and-drop functionality has seized working in Firefox and it is not possible to select and drag drop images, texts, URLs, tabs etc.

    4 Either restart Firefox or do the following to restore drag-and-drop functionality:

    a Open another application like a text editor.

    b Enter some random text, select it en drag it unto the URL-bar area in Firefox.

    This will cause Firefox to try and open the selected text as if it were a URL.

    c After this, try step 1 again to see if drag-and-drop functionality has returned.









  • These are not Drew’s words, he is quoting something said by the project dev. The context that the previous commenter ommitted is:

    Following my email conversation with Vaxry, he appeared on a podcast to discuss toxicity in the Hyprland community. This quote from the interview clearly illustrates the attitude of the leadership:

    [A trans person] joined the Discord server and made a big deal out of their pronouns […] because they put their pronouns in their nickname and made a big deal out of them because people were referring to them as “he” [misgendering them], which, on the Internet, let’s be real, is the default. And so, one of the moderators changed the pronouns in their nickname to “who/cares”. […] Let’s be real, this isn’t like, calling someone the N-word or something.
