Hi, welcome to /comp/.
This is a board for discussing computers and related topics.
General technology posts are allowed but should be kept to a minimum.
If you've come to shitpost, please don't.
Suggestions go in this thread.
I'd like that point out >>>/torlounge/ and >>/privacy/ as some tech-related boards with no love. >>>/eh/ and >>>/lovecraft/ and >>>/box are also underrated.
Old Windows
Hey guys. I'd like to know if you like using old Windows, like 98, Me, NT 4 and 2000. I got an old compúter for 25 bucks just for that purpose.

What dialect do you use? Why is it Guile?
Why can't I hold all these parens?
Text browser thread
Really like the idea of this board, BO. Let's have something relevant to kick it off: what browser do you guys use? I use w3m myself, mainly because I'm so used to it. Still want to give elinks a try though, I heard it's good.
No religious wars please.
Web Design
Soup, /comp/.
Wanna discuss web design and the death of sane web platforms?
I even brought reading material.

It's only slightly better than you'd expect with the clickbait-y title and description.
Essentially, the good old web is dying. And being replaced by the nebulous heir named 'user experience'. There are numerous problems with this.
Off the top of my head there is the sad fact that this obviously implies user choice and versatility will be butchered under the guise of 'user friendliness'.
This also advances the growing trend of corporations creating monopolies within the web, the heterogeneous ecosystem of different websites being replaced by vast 'social platforms'.
There is a growing reliance on intelligent software, like Siri and Google Now, that offload your responsibilities. Very Problematic. Especially when this software is closed source.
It's nothing new, but it's something, and a decent fodder for discussion.
What's your take on it?
