Yes. I developed a weakness for ancient workstations in the early 2000s and had all sort of shit. A few SUNs, SGIs (Octane, e320, Indigo2), an IBM multiprocessor machine (with distinct Xeon CPUs) and HPs but I could never get my hands on a next.

Well, have a look what content is getting the most views. I had no idea someone could be that stupid.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Web is Going to Die⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Gopher was not the original protocol of the web but an alternative to HTTP/hypertext. It didn’t get the same traction, however, and has practically been dead for decades.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Web is Going to Die⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
That’s why almost no ISP is offering it anymore. No one made money from it, so dump it, maybe try to squeeze some cash out of those hwo really want it but better just drop it.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Web is Going to Die⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
…and YouTube is one of the major reasons. The web’s not a fucking TV and if you’re using it as a TV you’ll get stupid even faster than from watching actual TV.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Personal data storage is an idea whose time has come⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I can’t say I’d understand what mysterious kind of data it might be that’s stored in social media networks but is owned and used by myself. Really - I don’t have any data I’d want to make use of stored in any social network, except banal stuff like my last few listens at Music Brainz. Usually you’re uploading the sort of data you want to be published to social media. They’re not created there, so why would I need a URL other than file:// with a local path attached to access it. I also seriously doubt that klicking “Save as…” really is some secret and complex ritual known only to immortals and the priest caste, nowadays. (I might be wrong here. I just do not have anything to do with mortals or godfood in my daily life.)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Personal data storage is an idea whose time has come⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
But… but, there is no such thing as local storage. There are just other people’s clouds!

Yes, yes. Reinvent language and everything will be fine. Just as the woirld is now so much better before “political correctness”. Idiot.

It’s not that it’s not profitable for them.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.”⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
“Install” includes installing from an app store no matter how closed down and exlusive. The correct term would be “install from other sources than an app store” which is just clunky. Calling it “sideloading” won’t change that nor will calling it “your mom”. Considering how many corporate-speak terms are in use and how many braindead abbreviations and terms shortened to a word’s last syllable -completely distorting the original meaning- generally are in use, the term “sideloading” is pretty irrelevant. Either lose your mind listening to the bullshit people permanently are emitting or just live with it…
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.”⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Did you mean “web site”? Because, according to Cory Doktorov an app is just a website wrapped into enough IP to make it a felony blocking ads in it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has this ever happened to you?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I’d be sexist if I said it was women’s nature and blah whatever. I’m sure it’s more or less a social matter, nevermind that as far as I know it applies to pretty much any known culture, ancient or actual. The reason might be that humans are not so different actually, no matter what your fucking leaders might tell you. And you, Mr “pickup artist” might notice that I did not refer to the sort of occasion you’re talking about. The situation the OP describes is obviously not an invitation to a menage a trois.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has this ever happened to you?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
As a guy, lyou’d be a total idiot to agree. Single guy on a date with two girls is definitely going to make a fool out of himself and have a terrible evening. Call me sexist, blame social whatnotever for it but it’s as sure as the night is dark. These two have known each other and longer than you so you’re the outsider and there’s that unspoken, inevirtable rivality between you and her best friend. No fucking change. BTW, I’d wonder what people might say if gender roles were reversed here. Lol… “I gotta bring my buddy. For safety.”

Food is highly overrated anyway. It’s highly unhealthy, expensive, carbon-wasting and is the main reason for obesity.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨need help on old CRT tv⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Unlikely. The interference from the electric motor just worked because analog TVs used to recieve a (weak) analog signal via antenna. That doesn’t apply to the HDMI/RF connector. I suspect the CRT might not be able to deal with the HDMI converter’s line frequency. Also., I don’t know if the CRT has a separate composite input - if you go in via the antenna input be sure to set the converter to RF, not to composite output if possible. Composite and RF signal are not the same.

TBF, if they had an idea about design, specifically about typo and logos they’d not be clients. Idiots… that’s a different topic, but let’s agree that some types with a strictly technical or -worse- strictly economical background have quite bizarre ideas in the visual field. It really get annoying if they’re perfectly sure they know better than you.
