@gamingonlinux gnome-web is kind of cool though

@olasd @luj 100% DNS will be blamed despite the facts

@juliank I'm up for a rewatch too after a discussion with a friend last weekend on whether Breaking Bad or Sons of Anarchy was better.

"If you're not on board with AI you're going to get left behind"

Boost if you'd like to be left behind and would consider paying extra for a life without this bullshit.

3k boost edit: everyone who said a variant of "why should I pay" is right, but the world is wrong.

I don't understand why, but at my old age there's still a small child in me that wants to throw a tantrum because I can't get a Steam Machine *right now*. Which is especially odd since it's just another Linux machine, which I already have more than a 100 of and some I haven't had a chance to properly play with or set up for its intended purpose.

@KimPerales Somehow it feels like a good time to experiment with shorting stocks

@polygonalhorse So as always, fuck Instagram!

While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973

Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition

We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum

An old reel to reel magnetic tape. It has a label, in Jay Lepreau's handwriting, proclaiming it to be "UNIX Original from Bell Labs v4 (see manual for fmt)"

@purpleidea Québec is really insane like this. I've literally had tellers at the bank tell me in fluent English that sorry they can't help me in English.

@withaveeay It's a paradox. As a tech person, I don't use and refuse to use WhatsApp, but in poorer communities who get it zero rated (for actual completely selfish reasons by the companies) it is actually making a significant positive difference. But also, as they get locked in that eco-system, it eventually cuts them off from the people who are privileged enough not to be there. We really need something proper that's free and open and zero-rated.

@debby Usually more rights for others means more rights for everyone as a total!

@begasus @kde @kde Amazing, it looks like a full-on native Haiku app!

@demoographics There are even mirrors, forks and various off-line distributions, so it takes a lot to take out Wikipedia! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks

From the nokings protests.

Someone really needs a branding update.

@UncleDuke1969 Are you unporkgiven II?

@alienghic @majorlinux I want to switch to EV too because my home has plenty of solar power, so then I can eliminate my fuel bill, which would be great! But extending the life of a petrol vehicle is better for the environment since such a big part of a car's lifetime emmissions occure during manufacturing (no matter what type of vehicle it is). So when this one ever become unrepairable, I'll probably get some BYD (probably the Dolphin Surf).

@alienghic @majorlinux I have an old A3 that turns 20 years old in a few months. It still runs like a new car and I'll admit I've had lots of fixes done, but still significanlty cheaper by factors than buying a new car. If you have a decent old car and take care of it, it will take care of you financially!

@juliank my experience was the same. Beautiful visuals and landscapes... But what's the point again?

@ben Aliexpress

@simple_sabotage does this manual try to sabotage the saboteur? Have you ever tried catching a dozen moths when you actually need a moth!?
