Ugliest and most poorly hidden #EasterEgg in #OperatingSystem history? Literally an executable - `\OS2\BITMAPS\AAAAA.EXE` - on the boot drive. CW: your eyes may bleed. Boost to people you don't like.

Don't get me wrong - I really like OS/2. But IBM never really made pretty things, did they?

And the alt text needs to be forced upon y'all in this one:

Short video clip showing a vector drawing of a green field with a road leading past some purple mountains in the background. There's a small blob of water next to the road. There are gradients everywhere: background, mountains, road, water..
The sun is orange (also gradient) with a drop shadow like only late 80s vector drawing software could. Corel Draw maybe? It reads "OS/2 Warp" in the top right corner.

There is an absurdly large metal pole with an even larger white sign full of names printed in a horribly-rendered font (probably System Proportional). The background of the sign is white and, thankfully, not gradient. I suspect this is due to technical limitation, not artistic ones.

Parece que #IBM ha empezado a matar poco a poco a #Fedora, y todo apuntaría a lo que señalé hace dos años, cuando dije que la matriz de #RedHat podría convertir a la distribución en un auténtico proyecto comunitario.

Mira que mi último cambio a #Aeon lo hice por pura curiosidad, pero al final va a ser que, sin querer ni pretenderlo, me bajé del barco a tiempo.

Veo a IBM diciendo en un futuro lo siguiente de manera implícita: "Quiero gente que trabaje gratis para mí". discussion.fedoraproject.org/t

Fedora Discussion · Fedora Quality scope reduction announcement and summaryHi everyone, we have important updates regarding our Fedora Quality team and the scope of our operations for upcoming Fedora releases. This post serves as the main announcement with background info, and a central hub of all the listed changes (with links to individual posts, tickets, discussions, etc), which we can refer back to. Why Unfortunately, a significant portion of our internal team decided to switch teams or leave Red Hat [1], which means we ended up in a situation where we have many m...

Al no tener un OS que ofrecer a IBM, acaban comprando los derechos de QDOS/86-DOS a Seattle Computing Products (copia de CP/M), que a su vez licenciarán a IBM como PC-DOS y, posteriormente, a fabricantes de clones de PC como MS-DOS.

Esta alianza entre IBM y Microsoft forma una de las plataformas más dominantes en la historia de la informática, que acabará aplastando a casi todas las demás plataformas de PC en los años 80 y 90.

El 22 de julio nace la Alianza Impía (Unholy Alliance) la alianza que IBM y Microsoft forjaron para darle destino al PC-DOS y a la industria computacional en general.

Un pequeño grupo de ingenieros que desarrollaba en secreto la IBM PC , se reúnen con Bill Gates y Steve Ballmer, de Microsoft, para hablar sobre la licencia de software y un sistema operativo para la PC, aún en desarrollo...
