I think it was $50 about ten or fifteen years ago. I need a thing that puts words on the screen and will show me porn and do accelerated 2D fast enough that my SNES emulator doesn't stutter. I'm not running a mining rig. -

pistolero (p@fsebugoutzone.org)'s status on Thursday, 14-Nov-2024 16:06:40 JST pistolero It's really great that sound and video and really basic shit stopped working so that RedHat and Ubuntu could make their shit closer to store-brand MacOS. I love that this was also so important that really basic shit like "installing a library" was worth breaking, too. I hate that Linux was a Unix for all of these years, I hate that I had a pretty reliable system for two decades, I just wanna run something that is shittier than Unix, uglier than a Mac, and compatible with less shit than a Windows machine.Ao1Sbm6whnJ7BLjxLs -
pistolero (p@fsebugoutzone.org)'s status on Thursday, 14-Nov-2024 16:06:40 JST pistolero I fucking love $current_year Linux. To everyone that looks at me weird when I tell them I'm half-way to just installing Plan 9 and running the Linux fluoride in VMs or on laptops: I'm sorry, you were all correct, it's actually good to have all of these idiot problems that Linux didn't have ten years ago, I'm glad the YOLD idiots have gotten to decide everything, I LOVE THE FLUORIDATED CORN SYRUP BOOSTERS -

pistolero (p@fsebugoutzone.org)'s status on Thursday, 14-Nov-2024 16:06:07 JST pistolero @Suiseiseki If I wanted a system that didn't work *and* was bloated, sure. There is, as far as I know, exactly one working, downloadable HURD system, and it is a 32-bit x86 image that is 364MB and, being a NETINST image, it doesn't even come with anything.
Plan 9 is a full working OS, free software, and the install media includes GPL'd source. All Plan 9 systems come with source: the installer installs the source. There is no bloat and the userland assumes you are a programmer, so the tools fit like a glove and the documentation doesn't condescend, the userland doesn't patronize, the basic utilities don't second-guess you or try to internationalize /bin/true. There is a common protocol for resource-sharing. Plan 9 is the ultimate free software operating system and it is small enough that you can maintain it yourself if you have to. -

pistolero (p@fsebugoutzone.org)'s status on Wednesday, 13-Nov-2024 12:06:05 JST pistolero @j @graf @vic Radio Shack was the big, evil company. Bring back Commodore: they designed and built their own entire computers, in the US, including the chip fabrication by moving to Pennsylvania where MOS Technology was. Bring back Digital Equipment Corporation pre-financialization Apple and Compaq and Atari and Zenith, bring back home engineering and amateur radio and people doing shit instead of buying sealed-shut glowing rectangles. jae and ins0mniak probably have thoughts on this stuff (and moth definitely does, I hope she comes back soon). Electronics used to be weird and at present, it's less locked down and people are more free in *China*, so they're building weird shit and we're not. You know, like 10, 15 years ago they relaxed some of the post-prohibition laws on brewing and suddenly the US has this explosion of really great beer, and it's affordable. I love this DevTerm but it kind of breaks my heart that we have zero companies in the US doing this kind of thing and the moderately communist country has a thousand. If you want your code to run on TOP500 machines, you have to work for a government. And every few years they make these rumblings about unionizing and regulating software, so the same shit can happen there; they've already successfully shipped it out of the country.

> "commercial success"
You said "lyricism" and "rap ability" and my mom is the female Jay-Z if we're talking about abilities of rap. "Who sold how much" is a number: you compare the numbers and one of them will be larger. There's nothing to discuss.

You wrote "lyricism" like three times.
