@driftwood @errante I'm well aware lol
-
@greentext Saw the last Kmart in Marshall a number of times and it absolutely gave me these vibes as well.
-
@newt @joey Sun actually did much of the development work on GNOME 2 so this doesn't surprise me at all. Workstation Solaris essentially died with the rise of Linux and NT but they kept pushing it as a server OS right up to the bitter end (and of course the indefinite afterlife it has thru illumos)
-
@newt @joey So did Digital and SGI but that didn't stop them from taking the course they did anyway. It wasn't so much that Sun or IBM had the CPUs in and of themselves, more that the political will existed within both companies to keep them alive (which IBM could afford to do due to being absolutely massive and Sun did out of pride)
-
@arcana @errante @hermit It also kind of surprises me that you can buy eroge on Steam at all now, even if they're censored.
-
@arcana @hermit @errante I think the meme itself rips at least some graphics from the Wolfenstein reboot MachineGames did
-
@errante that surprises me and also somehow not
-
@hermit @arcana @errante If you don't mind me asking, why? I feel like my channer roots are fairly obvious for better or worse.
-
@arcana @hermit @errante In fairness, unless you were extremely online, I doubt you would have saw much of it at all either way.
-
@hermit @arcana @errante I had my coming of age during when the events were ongoing, so the whole saga from the 8chan side is essentially seared into my head at this point.
-
@arcana @hermit @errante This is all true, and executive meddling in other senses also sabotaged much of the console games market outside of Japan (e.g. the infamous no 2D dictates Sony pushed as a fashion), but what hermit is subposting here was the astroturfed gaming journalism narratives which started cropping up around 2013~14 and the reaction to them in GamerGate while they were beta testing the new hegemonic consensus ideology to force onto everyone they could.
-
@p @Cocoa It's legally equivalent, morally equivalent, and functionally equivalent. Same with 3DCG.
-
@errante @hermit Ancient GamerGate lore (I hold the view that the cultural pressures leading up to it werent really a team red or team blue thing so much as a "internet atheism becoming too big for its britches" thing, but that's neither here nor there)
-
@hidden Well I mean who else was doing this kind of thing in 1910?
-
@hidden didn't sound it, looks vaguely like a prokudin-gorsky print but I don't think it is
-
@hidden colorized?
-
@joey @newt They're true but only as far as commodity Unix. Linux completely killed the market for all competitors on x86 white box hardware sans the BSDs and NT, and most of the workstation lines that the big iron Unices were tied to became casualties of the Itanic push which eventually cemented Linux as the victor there too except for HP which used it as intended to run the proprietary operating systems they either developed internally or that they acquired from former competitors (Sun and IBM never truly bought into it which is why their respective products survive in various guises, if just barely).
-
@jeffcliff I know but seeing a VNN post in the wild is pretty yikes, especially considering how degenerate Linder is on fedi
-
@jeffcliff >sauce
>alex fucking linder
Man that's a deep cut
-
@jeffcliff Source? I would not be surprised if such an event happened, especially with the forced conversion edict of Heraclius (as documented by the Doctrina Jacobi and one letter of Maximus the Confessor) and the generational ramifications it had on the wider Christian world.
